Eight former contestants return to Gran Hermano and will shake up the game for a week

At the gala on Sunday, May 25, Santiago del Moro announced an unexpected move: eight former Big Brother contestants are returning to the country's most famous house. The return will take place on Wednesday, May 28, in a move that aims to completely alter the dynamics of the game.

After the repechage, the entry of family members, and the "Golden Ticket," the production team has bet on a new surprise. This time, they chose to reintroduce players already known to the public to add tension and strategy in the final stretch of the reality show.

Who are the former contestants returning to Big Brother

The former housemates who will cross the entrance door again are:

• Santiago "Bati" Larrivey
• Chiara Mancuso
• Giuliano Vaschetto
• Jenifer Lauría
• Luciana Martínez
• Martina Pereyra
• Petrona Jerez
• Andrea Lázaro

All of them will enter with a clear instruction: they are not mere visitors, but must play and choose whom to ally with among the current contestants. The dynamic introduces new strategies, friction, and uncertainties.

Strict rules and risk of immediate expulsion

Del Moro announced that the former contestants will not be allowed to provide information from the outside. If any of them break this rule, they will be automatically expelled. In addition, their elimination would also have direct consequences for the player they represent inside the house, who would go directly to the nomination list.

"If they say too much, they're out immediately and send those they represent to the nomination list," the host warned before their entry. The instruction was clear: they are entering to play, not to generate nostalgia.

This special week was designed as an explosive intervention, which not only alters internal relationships but also reactivates public interest by bringing back familiar faces with new intentions.

A tense nomination list before the return

Meanwhile, as the return of the former contestants was being prepared, this Monday it will be decided who will leave the competition among the nominees: Eugenia, Katia, Lourdes, Luz, and Selva.

During Sunday's gala, Tato and Juan Pablo were removed from the nomination list thanks to the public's positive vote, leaving them out of danger and leaving the remaining five contestants on the verge of elimination.

A key week with no certainties

The production team has not yet revealed how this return will impact the upcoming galas, nor what role the former players will have beyond this week. What is certain is that the house has entered a new stage, where loyalties are being tested and strategies are being completely reformulated.
