Big Brother and the shadow of manipulation: rumors of a possible winner

Once again, the reality show and Santiago del Moro are at the center of controversy due to rumors of having a predetermined winner

The return of Juliana "Furia" Scaglione to Gran Hermano sparked a wave of speculation. Her reentry with the Golden Tickets put the program's transparency in check and left a lingering doubt: whether the competition is being manipulated in favor of ratings.

Since the possibility of a former participant returning to the house was announced, the reality show's followers debated who deserved that opportunity. Finally,  the public chose Furia, although the decision caused surprise and suspicion.

The controversy over the Golden Tickets and Furia's return

The journalist Nacho Rodríguez revealed on C5N  that her return might be linked to an unfulfilled promise from the production.  According to his statements,  in the previous edition, Furia was allegedly eliminated due to certain attitudes, but initially, she was assured she would be the winner. Now, with this new opportunity, they would seek to fulfill that supposed pact.

Promises behind the scenes? The doubts about Santiago del Moro

The role of the host Santiago del Moro in this edition came under scrutiny. The versions suggest that his impartiality is in question, as his relationship with certain participants seems to favor them within the game.

Furia's return not only implies a benefit in terms of visibility but also an evident imbalance in the competition.  "It's not the same to enter from scratch as it is to do so with an established and consolidated fandom," mentioned an analyst on a television panel. This type of strategy is not new in the reality show, but in this edition, the controversy grew exponentially.

Meanwhile, there are those who argue that the reality show still depends on the public's vote and that, if there are any favoritism, these would not affect the final result.  "If Furia wins, it will be because people support her,"some followers argued on social media.

Will the final vote really be honest?

As the competition progresses, the big question is whether the public's vote will have real weight or if the reality show already has a predetermined winner. With the precedent of other editions where former players reentered and ended up winning, suspicions increase.

Gran Hermano plays with the emotion and loyalty of its audience, but the program's credibility is at stake. The question many are asking is clear: will they respect the public's decision in the grand finale, or will the production arrange the pieces so that everything goes according to their convenience?
