this group.

The test that defined the elimination of Emilia Attias During the

gala broadcast this Sunday, the contestants had to face a complex technical test: preparing a

macaron cake.

Unlike other challenges, this time participants didn't have to go to the market. The production gave them the recipe and all the ingredients needed to make the dish

However, Emilia Attias was the one who had the most difficulties during the preparation. Even in the last few seconds her colleagues tried to help her finish the dessert

Despite that support, the final result failed to reach the level of the rest of the competitors and ended up becoming the eliminated of the night.

The emotional farewell of Emilia Attias After the

verdict came out, the actress was thrilled and grateful for the experience she had on the reality show. “I'm leaving happy, I learned a lot. I found that I like cooking more than I think. This program reconnected me with that,” she said through tears

The controversy involving Ian Lucas and Evangelina Anderson

In parallel with the competition, a controversy also emerged in the last few hours involving Ian Lucas and Evangelina Anderson, another

of the participants in the reality show.

The YouTuber published a series of stories on Instagram in which he referred, without directly naming her, to the alleged affair that the model always denied. The episode generated discomfort within the program and would have caused discomfort among

some participants.

In a conversation with the chronicler Alejandro Guatti for Intruders (America), Anderson hinted that several colleagues disagreed with the exhibition.

“I'm not going to expose them to my colleagues, but they all supported me a lot,” he said.

The model also tried to tone down the conflict and made it clear that she has no personal problems with the content creator. “Ian is a person that I love very much. Sometimes there are things that get out of hand,” he explained.
