The latest gala of Gran Hermano (Telefe) ended in a scandal that shook the country's most famous house. Gabriela Gianatassio, who had won the challenge for the motorcycle and the weekly leadership, was stripped of both titles after admitting she received help from her partner Ulises Apóstolo during the trivia test.

The controversy began with an internal complaint. Santiago "Tato" Algorta, her rival in the tiebreaker, claimed that Gabriela had repeatedly looked at Ulises before answering each question. This behavior raised suspicions of cheating that quickly went viral on social media, forcing the production to review the cameras in more detail.

Initially, the "Big" maintained that Gabriela had won fairly. However, amid growing public pressure and the testimony of several participants —including Sandra Priore—, the production summoned Gabriela to the confessional.

There, the young woman tried to defend herself by accusing her companions of conspiring against her. But the evidence was overwhelming. Internal images revealed looks and gestures that confirmed the suspicions. Finally, Gabriela confessed: "I'll be honest. Ulises helped me with some."

Exemplary sanction and live rematch

After her confession, Gabriela lost the motorcycle prize and her role as weekly leader. Additionally, the sudden nomination she had made against Luz Tito was annulled. As part of the sanction, both she and Ulises were automatically nominated and without the possibility of being saved by the new leader.

The magnitude of the scandal led the production to take immediate action. Santiago del Moro announced on his social media that the challenge would be repeated live. "Today at 9:45 PM the motorcycle and leadership are back in play", wrote the host, making clear the intention to restore the game's legitimacy.

That same night, the trivia was repeated, with new questions and a new selection of keys. After several attempts and with much suspense, it was Cata who managed to unlock the lock with key number 13, becoming the brand-new winner of the motorcycle.

Additionally, the "Big" granted her the leadership of the week, ensuring her immunity and the ability to nominate a companion. Cata repeated the same move Gabriela had made before being sanctioned and nominated Luz Tito. "I can't stand her in the house and her zero empathy," she declared bluntly.

Thus, the elimination board was formed by Luz, Gabriela, and Ulises, who were at the mercy of the phone vote. The scandal made it clear that in Gran Hermano, cheating will have no place and everything can change in a matter of minutes.
