Walas Debuts on MasterChef Celebrity After Lescano’s Exit and Roña Castro’s Elimination

Telefe installed the Massacre frontman as a swift replacement, drawing upbeat reviews from the judges.

Overview

  • Guillermo “Walas” Cidade joined the cast to replace Pablo Lescano and impressed with a quiche lorraine, earning immediate safety for the week.
  • Pablo Lescano resigned on air during the first elimination gala, saying previously booked musical commitments made it impossible to continue.
  • The judges designated ex‑boxer Jorge “Roña” Castro as the season’s first elimination after a tight decision that also involved Luis Ventura.
  • Telefe scheduled the inaugural elimination gala in a special Sunday slot due to the U‑20 World Cup final, and the double departure fueled strong social‑media reaction and memes.
  • This season is hosted by Wanda Nara with judges Donato de Santis, Damián Betular and Germán Martitegui, and episodes air on Telefe with streaming available on HBO Max.
