Overview
- Telefe accelerated recording after the end of Gran Hermano so MasterChef Celebrity can debut on Monday, September 28.
- Maru Botana will sit on the judging panel in place of Donato de Santis, joining Damián Betular and Germán Martitegui.
- Production published a 24-contestant roster that includes Julieta Poggio, Lizy Tagliani and Julieta Nair Calvo among other actors, journalists and entertainers.
- Some participants have been given individual dressing rooms, and Julieta Poggio said she requested one for scheduling reasons related to her work on Popstars rather than as a diva demand.
- A preview clip showed Poggio greet host Wanda Nara with a line linked to the 'Wandagate' thread and Nara laughing, a promotional choice that highlights how celebrity moments are being used to drive pre‑air attention.
