Arkano is on the brink of one of the most thrilling chapters of his career as he prepares to debut as a contestant on Survivors in just a few days. To mark the moment, he shared a farewell video with his Instagram followers, opening up about his fears and what he anticipates in Honduras. The moment feels personal, a glimpse into the mindset of a performer who thrives on the unpredictable.
“This is the last video I’m making before heading to Survivors. I’m very nervous, and I just broke a hanger”, Arkano explains in the clip, between a sigh and a small laugh. The Alicante rapper wanted to express gratitude for the overwhelming support from fans and to acknowledge the feedback he’s received on social media. The message doubles as a candid confession of the nerves that come with stepping into the Telecinco reality show arena.
Arkano’s predictions for his time on Survivors
In this release, Guillermo also aims to shed light on expectations for the journey ahead and to allow his audience to gauge his outlook both before and after the experience. His approach blends humility with realism, offering a window into how he might navigate the unpredictable dynamics of the competition.
One of the most daunting moments for him is a helicopter jump. He admits the thought of leaping from a chopper makes him anxious, even though he knows it’s a temporary hurdle in a challenge that will be broadcast live to millions. The pressure of an audience is something he anticipates more than anything else, and he plans to face it with as much composure as possible.

Arkano’s call for support within the competition
The conversation also touches on how relationships within the cast might unfold. He notes that every participant brings a distinct personality, which could shape alliances and tensions alike. The anticipation of meeting varied profiles adds another layer of nervous energy to the mix.
Rocio Madrid stands out as a strong source of emotional support for Arkano, giving him a sense of steadiness before the challenge begins. He mentions that she is the only person he already knew before joining the show, and their prior collaboration on Crónicas Marcianas and a shared appearance on Pasapalabra gives him reassurance as the journey starts.
Beyond that, he believes he will likely connect well with Blanca Manchón and Rubén Torres, though he acknowledges that harmony in such situations is never guaranteed. The energies conveyed in promotional materials will be a guide, but real chemistry only reveals itself once the game begins.
What’s clear to him is that he isn’t aiming to provoke conflict. He intends to avoid arguments, even when hunger or stress strains his patience. His stance is to stay level-headed, focus on performance, and maintain a constructive mindset throughout.
“I practice freediving by watching YouTube videos”
Another curiosity concerns how he will respond to extended periods without familiar comforts, like coffee, when day-to-day routines vanish. He also weighs his strengths and weaknesses in relation to the survival dynamics, including activities like gathering food or seeking immunity.
He jokes about his inexperience with fishing, predicting it might be a weak area, and admits that he can be jumpy when faced with unexpected creatures. The reality of survival tests is something he plans to approach with readiness, using the training and mindset he has built as a performer.
On the other hand, Guillermo reveals a personal habit that might surprise some: he has learned freediving through online videos. This admission highlights a willingness to adapt and learn in high-pressure, unfamiliar environments.

He suggests the experience could unlock new angles of thought and creativity he hasn’t explored before.
Before signing off, he expresses gratitude for the support he has received. He signs off with a hopeful note that the Survivors journey will be a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that shapes his path going forward.
