Carmen Borrego remains distant from her fellow Survivors participants. The medical report indicated that Terelu’s sister was showing anxiety symptoms tied to not meeting program requirements. The Conexión en Honduras team reached out to confirm her health and whether she planned to continue with the show.
It was explained that Carmen felt overwhelmed, caught in a situation that amplified her anxiety. The island setting brought simulated grief for a loss she hadn’t fully processed—the passing of her mother, Maria Teresa Campos. Those are challenging times for the Malaga native, who has voiced a desire to keep competing. Nevertheless, the medical staff chose to isolate her from the rest of the cast to allow for focused medical care.
Break and message from Carmen Borrego
During the connection, Carmen seized the moment to send a heartfelt message to a close family member, her niece Alejandra Rubio.
Speaking to Terelu Campos’ daughter and sister, the contestant said, “Today I want to share something that excites me greatly. I want to wish Alejandra a happy 24th birthday. I love you, Alejandra. Happy birthday.” The studio erupted with warm applause at those words.
Her response appeared similar to the moment of relief when Sandra Barneda asked if she had overcome the intestinal issues that had troubled her since arriving in Honduras. “I’ve achieved something, even if small, and that is progress,” Carmen stated.
Alejandra Rubio is a frequent contributor to the Survivors coverage and has often been critical of her aunt’s approach, including their reluctance to participate in certain reward or leadership challenges. The television collaborator, for various reasons, sometimes avoided these tasks due to fear or dizziness.
Tribute to Terelu Campos’ daughter on her anniversary
Carmen Borrego wasn’t the only one marking Alejandra Rubio’s important date. Terelu Campos took to social media to share nostalgic photos of Alejandra, spanning from childhood to the present, alongside messages featuring both Alejandra and her mother, Maria Teresa Campos. The post carried an emotional note: “Happy 24th birthday to the love of my life. I am so proud of you; be happy, and know that I will always be by your side. I love you.” Alejandra responded warmly, saying, “You are my whole life, I love you.”
