Lupillo Rivera and José Joel were the two participants who came out victorious from the repeat of “Top Chef VIP 5”. What happened to Snow? For now it seems that the boricua is left out of the kitchen of Telemundo’s reality, when weeks ago his name was the one that sounded strong and clear as a participant who won this challenge. But for now, the reality is different, and everything is between men.

José Joel was chosen by his comrades, while Lupillo was chosen by the chefs. From the point of view of the technique, it is logical that Lupillo has been selected by the judges. The singer left the competition on his own decision a few days ago; he did not leave because he lost some challenge.

José Joel’s return was because, according to his colleagues, he showed better qualities in the dish with which he decided to surprise them, and beyond the success of the dish, there are two more points: affection and convenience. The Mexican actor made true friends within this project, but once within the competition, he remains the weakest of all. Anyone who has come to this instance will buy time.

According to the celebrities who have stayed on the show winning challenges and immunities, Nievelis, Caramelo and José Joel surprised them for good with each of their presentations. Showing that, once out of the program, they all took classes, either for repeat or for having fallen in love with the kitchen.
