Telecinco has completed the preparations for a new edition of the reality format Big Brother Duo. The show originally debuted in 2019 as a variant of the familiar Big Brother format and now returns after a five-year break, aiming to captivate audiences in Canada and the United States alike with familiar twists and fresh personalities.
Set to premiere on January 11 at 22:00, the Guadalix de la Sierra home will reopen its doors three weeks after the dramatic finale of GH VIP concluded with Naomi Asensi. Marta Flich, speaking to YOTELE, confirmed that the premieres will be available once again, and the list of first confirmed contestants is already taking shape.
Elena Rodríguez
Elena Rodríguez, widely recognized for her connection to her daughter Adara Molinero, has a history of defending her in-house choices on GH. She becomes the first official contestant, following a stint on Survivor, a development YOTELE reported exclusively. Her participation signals the show’s willingness to blend family ties with competitive reality, a combination that tends to engage long-time fans and curious newcomers alike.
Luca Onestini UCA ONESTINI
The Italian reality scene is represented again as Luca Onestini joins the lineup. The Onestini family has previously weighed in on Telecinco’s formats through Gianmarco Onestini, who embraced modeling and pageantry after his reality journey. Luca’s return to a familiar stage, after success in Secret Story, raises questions about whether he will secure another victory and how his presence will interact with the dynamics inside Guadalix.
Lucia Sánchez
Lucia Sánchez rose to prominence on Temptation Island, leaving a memorable mark with a playful catchphrase and expressive reactions—most fans still recall her saying “The little hand is relaxing.” After appearing on Sandra Barneda’s program and attending a temporary meeting with Nagore Robles on Dance with Me, she is now preparing to step into Guadalix, per exclusive information from YOTELE. Her journey adds a layer of social-driven anticipation to the new season, particularly for audiences who follow cross-format personalities.
These introductions illustrate Telecinco’s strategic approach: combine recognizable personalities, cross-show credibility, and the suspense of new dynamics within the house. For viewers in North America, the episodes promise a familiar yet fresh flavor of competition, alliances, and the inevitable surprises that come with a reimagined Big Brother Duo. As production continues, fans can expect more contestants to be revealed and additional details about the format refinements that will shape the season’s rhythm and twists.
