"I don't want to feel bad": Ariel Ansaldo's live resignation
Before making the decision to leave, Big Ari had a tense exchange with Sergio Verón. Live on air, he expressed his discomfort: "You can't be forced and have a bad time! Arguments arise, stress... I don't know what I'm doing here".
In the midst of the confrontation, he asked for attention from Estefanía Pasquini, wife of Alberto Cormillot, and reported feeling harassed: "They told me I was doing everything wrong, that I would suffer the consequences... Two months telling me I was going to fail. I'm tired of feeling bad during the talks".
Finally, he announced his resignation live: "That's it! I'm tired, I don't want to feel bad, I want to leave". In front of host Mario Massaccesi, he added: "I came to lose weight and make people laugh, but they're making me look like someone I'm not. Nothing is what it seems in the clinic, that's it, Mario, I'm leaving".
The reason behind his departure
During his participation, Ariel Ansaldo stated that he felt pressured by the show's environment and questioned the reality show's atmosphere. "This show is tearing me apart. I don't want anything more to do with it", he concluded before leaving the studio visibly affected.
His entry and the particularities that made him stand out
Ariel had joined the program on August 13, introducing himself as a dairy lover. "If I don't eat some palmeritas and have a glass of milk, I can't fall asleep", he said with a laugh to host Mario Massaccesi.

The former Gran Hermano contestant stated: "I love milk in all its forms: I drink it cold, straight from the fridge. Milk gives me life and well-being". His statements prompted jokes, and Sergio Verón nicknamed him "the calf" while the host jokingly said: "You're our Cristian Castro, we're going to give you the baby bottle".
