Supervivientes is experiencing very delicate hours after confirming one of the saddest news of this edition. Pelayo Díaz remains nominated and could become the next contestant to be expelled. The public's reaction has been immediate, with a flood of criticism and warnings that even threaten a viewer blackout.
The stylist failed to save himself in the last Tierra de nadie gala, despite his effort and the sincere plea he made in front of the cameras. It was a tough moment for him, but also for thousands of followers who have been supporting his adventure for weeks. The decision has caused a wave of outrage that has spread across social media and program forums.
Borja, Joshua, Álex Adrover, and Pelayo were this week's nominees, but only one of them was going to escape expulsion. The surprise was total when it was announced that Borja had been chosen, leaving Pelayo once again on the edge. His name was the last to be pronounced, increasing the tension until the end.
The dynamic of salvation was different from usual, and that has also caused controversy. Instead of the public deciding, the contestants themselves had to stand behind the one they wanted to save. It was an unexpected system and, according to many, it hasn't been fair to Pelayo.
"Supervivientes" Announces Pelayo Díaz's News
Laura Madrueño communicated the resolution solemnly: Pelayo will face expulsion alongside Joshua and Álex. A result that has shattered the expectations of many and has triggered very harsh reactions. Many fans of the program feel disappointed and don't understand how something like this could happen.
Pelayo, visibly affected, tried to keep his composure, although he couldn't avoid getting emotional. He thanked his supporters and was self-critical of his time on the island. He acknowledged that he hasn't been at one hundred percent and that, despite everything, he wants to stay to give his best.
His words moved even some of his companions, but they weren't enough to avoid the situation. "I've had a hard time because of my son, with the rib, the head... I think I'm not giving it my all," he confessed with a broken voice. His vulnerability exposed the emotional weight he is facing in the reality show.
But beyond the personal drama, Pelayo's situation has opened a wound in the program. Criticism has intensified in recent hours, and there is open talk of an "audience blackout." Many followers have warned that they will stop watching the contest if Pelayo is expelled on Thursday.
The Public Demands to Turn Off "Supervivientes"
The hashtag #JusticiaParaPelayo is already trending, and the debate is very heated. Some blame the program's management for changing the rules and allowing a conditioned vote. Others point out that contestants who haven't been as involved as Pelayo in the experience are being rewarded.
Meanwhile, Borja celebrated his salvation with enthusiasm that contrasted with the sadness of the moment. He thanked his followers and was excited to continue in the contest. But his joy didn't manage to extinguish the bitter feeling left by the final scene with Pelayo still on the edge.
The threat of the blackout isn't symbolic: many loyal viewers are losing trust in the format. The sense of injustice has grown, and there is fear of a significant loss of audience if there isn't a reaction from the program. Some even call for the vote to be repeated with the public as the only judge.
Pelayo has been one of the most human contestants of this edition, showing both his strengths and weaknesses. His honesty has earned him a solid base of support that isn't willing to see him leave due to an improvised mechanic. For many, his expulsion would be a turning point for the worse.
Since his arrival in Honduras, he has faced very intense physical and emotional challenges. The discomfort in his body and the longing for his son have marked his days on the island. Even so, he has tried to face it, overcome his limits, and grow personally at each stage of the contest.
His stay will be decided this Thursday, and the tension is at its peak. The audience has the final say, but they feel hurt and eager to be heard. The pressure on the reality show's organization also increases as the clamor for a fairer vote grows.
