Contestants in GH VIP have shown clear friction with how the program is being run. Last Sunday, Oriana and several housemates expressed discomfort with the minimal sense of heroism displayed at the premieres, noting that the hosts struggled to connect with them from the set. The tension only grew stronger the following night as the residents discovered there were no videos about coexistence for them to review.
The first to speak out against this decision was Oriana. She spoke about her confrontation with Jessica Bueno, saying that it seemed the show would recap without meaningful content. She then addressed the matter to the production team and, according to 24 Horas, conveyed her disagreement with how the galas were being developed. She added that she felt she was being unfairly judged and called for a pause to ensure there is real value in what is shown. The call for calm at home came from the house’s own environment, with a plea for peace amid rising heat.
Oriana pressed the point: the normal expectation is that videos are watched by everyone in the same way. This is not about her videos in any country; it concerns the entire GH VIP experience. She insisted on seeing the materials first, arguing that without seeing them, the housemates cannot form informed opinions. Laura Bozzo echoed the sentiment, noting the difficulty of forming a fair assessment when the content of a video is unknown and the group can look unfavorable in a moment carried by lack of context.
It is worth noting that the approach of sharing coexistence videos with contestants is still relatively new. This method has only been adopted in the most recent editions of a format that has a lengthy history spanning more than two decades.
As the premiere neared its end, Marta Flich spoke to Oriana when she realized the contestant was close to tears. Oriana admitted feeling overwhelmed and preferred not to speak. Yet she voiced what she thought, explaining that the participants sometimes feel sidelined. She suggested that the lack of access to videos made them feel disconnected from the process and possibly perceived as unimportant by the audience, highlighting the desire to be genuinely involved.
During the discussion, the presenter clarified that the program decides when these videos will be shown and when they will not. The key point, she said, is that the public does see everything. Yet this did not fully reassure the Guadalix residents. Marta commented that they do not see what the public sees, and Carmen Alcayde joined the conversation to admit that the housemates’ connections at premieres are limited, though there is an awareness of the show’s direction.
The final remark from Marta emphasized trust: the experience is a unique game, and the videos will be released when appropriate. The message was to stay calm and enjoy the process, with the assurance that everything can be observed from outside the house.
