The latest broadcast of Supervivientes has caused enormous concern among the show's followers. Carmen Alcayde starred in one of the tensest moments of the season when she broke down emotionally after a heated argument with Montoya and Anita. The journalist, visibly affected, felt betrayed by those who had been her greatest supporters since the beginning of the competition.
The conflict erupted after the latest nominations, in which both Carmen and Montoya were chosen to face elimination. Meanwhile, Anita was nominated directly by Pelayo, who became leader after winning the dreaded infernal wheel. The tension increased when Carmen began to get closer to Pelayo, which was not well received by her closest companions.
Montoya and Anita don't understand Carmen's change in attitude, whom they've seen as an unconditional ally for weeks. However, since her nomination, the journalist has sought dialogue with the leader of the opposing group. This move has been interpreted as a betrayal and has completely broken the internal balance of the reality's strongest trio.
Carmen has expressed on several occasions that she feels like the most fragile member of the group, something that hasn't sat well with Montoya. The journalist stated that she feels like the "supporting actress" of the season, admitting that she doesn't see herself as having a real chance to win against her companions. These words were taken as a lack of trust in the group and have hurt those who had been her allies until now.
"If you want, I'll lie, but I feel out of place," Carmen confessed, broken inside. She said her dream was to reach the final with them, but she feels that everything has gone wrong in recent days. Her vulnerability, far from eliciting understanding, has created even more distance with Montoya and Anita.
Montoya and Carmen Alcayde have been pointed out
Montoya reacted harshly after seeing footage of the closeness between Carmen and Pelayo. "You're pulling the cord with Pelayo!" he exclaimed, visibly upset. He believes that these kinds of alliances don't fit with what they had built and doesn't understand his companion's change in strategy.
Anita also intervened, recalling that it was Carmen herself who told her she shouldn't talk to Pelayo. She says she was surprised to see her so close to him after having accused him of serious things. According to her, Carmen even called her "thief" and doesn't understand how she can now keep a cordial relationship with someone she used to criticize so intensely.
Carmen tried to justify her behavior by saying that she only gave her advice. She stated that she didn't forbid Anita anything, but warned her to be careful because Pelayo was approaching her for strategic reasons. However, her explanations didn't calm things down, and the group's breakup now seems inevitable.
Sandra Barneda, who closely followed everything that happened from the set, showed her concern about what she described as a clear "split" within the trio. "I didn't think this would happen, but it's happening," she commented upon seeing how the bonds that united Carmen, Montoya, and Anita have been seriously weakened just days before a key elimination.
The tension continues to grow in Cayos Cochinos. With all three group members on the edge, the possibility that one might leave the island for good would completely change the competition's dynamics. In addition, it could lead to new alliances and provoke a total reconfiguration of the groups.
Montoya has spoken very clearly
Montoya was especially clear when talking about Carmen. He stated that he doesn't tolerate a lack of coherence and that he has always told her she needs to trust herself more. He believes that Carmen repeats her vulnerability too much, which ends up hurting the group instead of strengthening it.
"It can't be that you say you don't see yourself as a winner when we've all fought equally," he said seriously. Montoya added that everyone deserves the same recognition and that it's not fair for Carmen to constantly undervalue herself. For him, that only creates division at a time when unity should be key.
In one of the tensest moments of the debate, Montoya lost his patience. "I'm tired of being told I'm the protagonist! That's very ugly to say at this point!" he exclaimed. His words closed a very bitter chapter, in which the competition's strongest bonds have begun to crack.
The public have already shown their concern for Carmen's emotional state. On social media, many are asking the organization to pay attention to her and to value the psychological strain she is suffering. Loneliness, rejection, and accumulated tension seem to have taken a toll on the contestant.
Just days before Thursday, the trio's situation is unsustainable. The audience's decision will set the course of the show in the coming weeks. What seemed like an unbreakable alliance could end up becoming just another story of betrayals and disappointments in Supervivientes.
