A controversy erupted during the Friday gala of "La Granja VIP 2," prompting the production to address concerns surrounding the show's outcome. Specifically, the producers denied allegations of vote manipulation that led to Azalia Ojeda's salvation. Additionally, the show's organizers took disciplinary action against Pimpinela Escarlata, who made comments deemed violent.
A challenge was presented on Thursday, October 15, as part of the "Salvation" test, where Azalia Ojeda issued a task to Julio Camejo and Kevyn "Bicolor" Contreras. The task involved identifying and correctly placing three figures located within a shell within a specific structure.
After Azalia's win, online users circulated footage suggesting that the final piece of the puzzle was already in the contestant's possession, raising concerns about the authenticity of the competition.
Production representatives have maintained that the competition was conducted lawfully, despite audience concerns. Following a thorough review of the incident, they expressed confidence in the accuracy of the event's execution. While acknowledging that the coastal location presented visibility challenges, they disputed allegations of a trap, stating that the circumstances were as observed.
The contestants had previously reviewed the terrain and objects, and both Camejo and Contreras had confirmed that their cubettes were empty prior to the challenge. Following the event, none of the contestants reported any anomalies, thereby solidifying Azalia's victory and her retention of the associated advantage.
A second point of contention emerged in a conversation between Pimpinela Escarlata and her fellow contestants, Niurka Marcos and Natalia Alcocer, in which they discussed the possibility of using a knife as a defensive measure against another participant in the event of elimination.
Following this determination, Pimpinela's comments were deemed to have breached the coexistence guidelines. As a result, Adal Ramones announced that she would be put directly up for elimination and remain in the competition without a safety net until the Sunday finale, with her fate ultimately decided by public vote.
At the gala, significant changes were made to the list of nominees. Azalia utilized his winnings to secure a spot for Mario "Mono" Osuna, while also nominating Niurka Marcos. However, Marcos' nomination was notable for being a second instance of betrayal against Mónica Escobedo, highlighting a complex dynamic in their relationship.
The contestants who will be at risk of elimination on Sunday, 18 October, are five individuals.
