In recent months, thousands of viewers have gathered in front of their television screens to find out who would be eliminated at the Sunday gala of La Casa de los Famosos México. On social networks it was almost impossible to miss the memes and clips of the program that became a viral phenomenon, despite being a format practically identical to the one seen in 2002 with Big Brother.

The reality show produced by Kirén Miret and Paly Alonso for TelevisaUnivision found the formula to “explode” on the Internet. The casting, the drama, the daring challenges, and the nomination dynamics were factors that caught the attention of the Mexican audience, which created such a special connection with the participants, that the serenades and honking of support outside the facilities became expressions daily support for the contestants. Finally, on August 13, the winner will be announced, but the question remains whether it will be possible to replicate the success achieved in this edition, beyond the rating.

The Hell Team

Although the point was to create a rivalry between the contestants, one of the teams formed an alliance that earned the sympathy of the public: Team Infierno, made up of the influencer Wendy Guevara, the actor Emilio Osorio, the former deputy Sergio Mayer, the singer Apio Quijano, the Peruvian actor Nicola Porcella and the businessman Poncho de Nigris. Of the 6 members who shared a room, 5 went to the final of La Casa de los Famosos México and their experience was so positive that in one of the talks they agreed to divide the prize of 4 million pesos among themselves, regardless of who was crowned as the favorite of the public.

They made their own song for the group, sung by Marcela Mistral, De Nigris’s wife. In online stores you could find covers with photos of the participants, and at the end of each elimination there was a roll call with the “survivors” of Hell. Recognizing the commercial potential of this team, weeks ago Televisa and Endemol Shine Boomdog, the company in charge of the production, registered the rights of Team Infierno before the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI), possibly to continue capitalizing the company with more products. image of the participants.

Wendy’s House

Wendy Guevara, the influencer who rose to fame after posting a video where she seemed lost on a hill with a friend, won the hearts of the public for her great sense of humor and example of resilience, since she was honest about it on the show. the difficulties of being a trans woman and of having grown up in poverty. In addition, she spoke openly about the child abuse that she suffered years ago by a person close to her family, a topic that is rarely addressed on Mexican television.

Currently, the panorama could not be more different for the native of León, Guanajuato. Due to her friendship with Emilio Osorio, son of producer Juan Osorio, she has already won a role in his next telenovela, and she is also the author of Resulta y Resalta, which was born as an improvised moment in which she humorously interviewed the other contestants about the most awkward moments of its career, but it quickly became one of the most popular segments of reality, so it could jump to television in the future.

Nicola Porcella

Being surrounded by such strong personalities, few expected the Peruvian actor to win over the Mexicans but, as often happens in reality shows, a romance between the contestants is irresistible, and this happened with Nicola Porcella and Wendy Guevara. In this case, it was always clear that it was a joke, a way to have fun to pass the time and entertain the audience, but in networks they gave the couple the nickname of Wencola, and on TikTok there are thousands of compilations with their Best moments. The “Nicolitas” as the actor’s admirers call themselves, ordered him to put an advertisement on the screens of Times Square, and regardless of the result, everything indicates that a career awaits Porcella on Mexican television, his own claim after the scandals that led him to move away from the spotlight in his native Peru.
