Overview
- Barco was officially presented as a new contestant on Friday, saying he joined for his daughter and adding he was not there to make friends.
- An earlier on-air hint from Samahara Lobatón about his arrival drew an angry rebuke from her mother, Melissa Klug, and viewers then flooded social media with claims of favoritism toward the Klug family.
- Following his debut, a live confrontation broke out between Gabriela Herrera and Samahara Lobatón with Klug stepping in, as hosts linked to the house and other contestants tried to calm the scene.
- Barco intervened in tense moments by telling Lobatón to be quiet and physically holding her by the arms during the dispute, and he later told Klug to stop insulting Pamela López on camera.
- No disciplinary moves have been announced, and with Klug, Lobatón, and now Barco inside the house, the show faces credibility questions that often surface when multiple relatives compete in the same reality format.
