On the Telecinco shooting days of Supervivientes, a clash between Playa Condena and the Asturian contestant sparked a heated moment during a commercial break. The incident, rooted in a prior exchange between Arantxa del Sol and Carmen Borrego during Poseidon’s prophecy in Conexión Honduras, set the tone for a day of uneasy alliances and sharp exchanges on the set.
“You’re making me so lazy,” a participant named Canguesa snapped at friends, to which Terelu Campos’ sister replied, “You’re really making us lazy.” Arantxa del Sol found an unexpected ally in Anabel Pantoja on the Telecinco set. Viewers watching the scene openly weighed in, expressing clear preferences between Arantxa del Sol and Carmen Borrego.

Turbulent hours followed as Kike Calleja condemned Arantxa del Sol for maintaining a position near the beach, signaling a rift with the group and suggesting she was letting herself be swayed. Arantxa defended her stance, explaining that she could not turn away from someone acting in a way that seemed right in her view.
Meanwhile, Carmen Borrego admitted surprise upon noticing that Arantxa del Sol did not condemn her son’s actions. Barbara Rey offered an opinion that judged this stance as hurting the team dynamics.
Lucía Serrano, Arantxa del Sol’s daughter and a Córdoba native, did not stay silent. From the sidelines, she condemned what she saw as constant provocations from her sister and directed a critique toward María Teresa Campos for the team’s attitude. She labeled certain members as “palmeros” and urged accountability for the group’s behavior.
Alejandra Rubio joined the conversation, suggesting that Carmen’s supporters shared similar views, while noting that Carmen was more forceful in voicing them. The remarks drew boos from the audience, prompting Rubio to explain that some of Carmen Borrego’s attitudes were hard to follow.

As the tensions mounted, Anabel Pantoja voiced dissatisfaction with the group’s approach, feeling they were unfairly pressuring Arantxa del Sol. She questioned Kike Calleja’s authority to advise the Asturian actor and presenter, reminding viewers of his history of criticism on Madrid-based journalism. The exchanges underscored a climate where personal histories intersected with on-screen conflict, leaving the set buzzing with speculation.
Isabel Pantoja’s nephew weighed in with a blunt assessment, asking why the group felt compelled to push the Asturian toward a specific pairing. He suggested that if she wanted to be with Ángel Cristo, the group didn’t need to coerce her. The remark drew applause from the audience, particularly among Asturians and those critical of Carmen Borrego’s stance.
From Pasapalabra to Survivor: the journey of a contest participant
Arantxa del Sol emerged as one of the first contestants confirmed for Survivor on Telecinco. He is a proud Asturian with deep roots in Cangas de Onís. The region of Asturias has always shared a close bond with its capital, and the show’s storyline has repeatedly highlighted the connection to that homeland—Covadonga and its lakes, the Descent of Sella, and the many local festivals that shape regional identity.
The unfolding narrative blends personal history with the high-stakes dynamics of the competition. The cast’s interactions reveal a tapestry of loyalties, rivalries, and the persistent push-and-pull between individual choices and group expectations. The drama on screen continues to captivate viewers who follow the evolving relationships and the evolving strategy of each participant.
Onlookers note that Survivor’s format thrives on this human element: questions of allegiance, the fear of isolation, and the pressure to conform or stand apart. In this environment, contestants’ backgrounds—whether rooted in family, hometown, or local culture—play a significant role in how strategies are formed and how conflicts are navigated. The stage is set for ongoing intrigue as alliances shift and new dynamics emerge on the way to the grand finale. The audience remains invested in the personal stories behind the competition, staying tuned to the next developments as the season progresses.
