Contestants from OT 2023 left the Academy last weekend to celebrate Christmas with family and friends. Some chose to steer clear of social media chatter, while others admitted they checked what fans were saying about them. One contestant said he felt calmer after understanding the reasons behind the criticism and remarked that the situation was not a real conflict.
He also shared his surprise about how viewers misperceive the relationships inside the Academy. He explained to Chiara that there is a separate reality at play. People see things that aren’t actually happening, while other aspects go unseen. The sentiment echoed through the day as a participant from Malaga added more context. He apologized for personal issues during a class led by April Zamora. The conversation also touched on an incident that occurred after his return to the show, which left him feeling unwell.
In a later talk with Martin, Salma spoke to the 24 hour channel of the talent show, revealing a confession that sparked discussion among followers: she had not slept alone for a month. The contestant staggered as her partner tried to offer reassurance. She expressed a sense of abandonment and reflected on the effort she had invested, wondering how sleep would come if she was accustomed to sleeping beside someone.
Martin reminded her that she could lean on him and colleagues like Juanjo, Naiara, and Chiara. The message encouraged asking for help, support, and understanding. This sparked a wave of online theories among viewers, who began naming Violeta as the person being discussed.
The prevailing theory suggests there might be more than friendship involved, a possibility that could have shifted after Violeta reunited with her partner upon returning home. While such events cannot be confirmed, the ongoing social media discussion remains one of the most talked about elements of this edition, illustrating how parallel narratives circulate alongside the official content and conversations inside the Academy. At its core, the dialogue reflects how fans interpret connections and moments in real time, shaping the public perception of each contestant’s journey.
