The bitter truth of the contestantssurvivors‘. Albert Barrancoformer contestant of the reality show telecinco During the 2020 edition, he spoke loudly and clearly about one of the biggest myths about the show.
collaborator denied that contestants had reached the ‘acclimatization’ stage well known in Honduras. The truth is that the organization has always used this word as an excuse to prevent possible early abandonment due to the extreme conditions they are subjected to.
With this explanation, the three-week acclimatization process would never have succeeded in adapting the survivors to the characteristics of the island. “I couldn’t adapt to life. They told me to keep quiet for 21 days and not bother, but the 22nd is coming and you are even worse,” he said in the program hosted by Emma García.
“But when 21 days pass, the hunger passes and you get used to it,” interjected Belén Rodríguez, who has never stepped foot on a survival reality show. These words did not change the vision of Albert Barranco, who was joined by other former participants such as Yulen Pereira or Ana Luque.
