This Sunday, the first couple to be eliminated from the reality show Would You Bet on Me? will be announced, with three nominated pairs competing for salvation through public votes and a live duel. The at-risk couples are Alina and Jim, Laysha and El Malito, and Adrián Di Monte and Nuja Amar. The program, which challenges the relationships of 12 famous couples in a villa in Brazil, airs on ViX and Las Estrellas.
The reality show Would You Bet on Me?, produced by Fremantle for TelevisaUnivision and based on a format from Abot Hameiri Communication distributed by Dori Media International, gathers 12 famous couples in a villa in Brazil to test their relationships under constant surveillance. The prize is 300,000 dollars, and staying depends on internal dynamics and public votes.
The first round of nominations was set on Thursday after the Cara a Cara, where couples voted directly. Alina Lozano and Jim Velásquez, Adrián Di Monte and Nuja Amar, and Laysha and El Malito ended up on the block. Laysha and El Malito were added due to a tie broken by Salvador Zerboni and Marcela Ruiz, who used their weekly pot money to break the tie against Gigi Ojeda and David Leal.
Voting opened on Thursday and closes at the start of the Sunday show. In Mexico, it happens via the ViX app: Premium users cast up to 10 daily votes to save a couple. The process involves downloading the app, logging in, selecting the show's section, and confirming votes. It's available in 19 countries, including Mexico, the United States, and several in Latin America.
On Sunday at 7:00 p.m. on ViX and 9:00 p.m. on Las Estrellas (Central Mexico time), the gala begins with interaction with a VIP Super Couple, a salvation duel among nominees, voting closure, elimination announcement, and La Revancha, where the exiting couple influences the game before leaving.
Alina and Jim sought support with promises on Friday's show. Jim said: “We have been influenced by Laysha, who is completely crazy… So if we stay, we will give the teddy bear live, three times a day.” Alina clarified: “No!, we were going to swap partners for 24 hours.” Jim expanded: “Yes, we said that if we stayed we would also swap partners… we will sleep together, bathe together and attend to the other person.”
These strategies reshape alliances heading into the next week.
