The 2026 edition of Gran Hermano kicked off with an unexpected challenge: two participants were left without beds, igniting outrage on social media. The reality show, hosted by Santiago del Moro, features a diverse cast already facing initial tensions.
The new season of Gran Hermano 2026 began on February 24, 2026, with a diverse group of participants entering the house. Reports indicate that from the start, two contestants faced a shortage of available beds, an initial challenge that sparked strong reactions on social media, with users voicing indignation over the situation.
Notable participants include Luana Fernández, a 28-year-old model who describes herself as 'difficult to live with' and recommends having 'two men'. Nazareno Pompei, a former lower-division footballer, aims to win the reality show to launch a media career and has already provoked Brian Sarmiento. Lola Tomaszeuski, an influencer from Bariloche active on social media since age 12, claims a paranormal ability and seeks to become champion.
Other contestants are Franco Poggio, boyfriend of influencer Lizardo Ponce; Yanina Zilli, a former vedette linked to Maradona in the 90s, seeking an acting comeback; Franco Zunino, a Berazategui personal trainer who worked as a pizzaiolo in Miami and has a winning plan; Kennys Palacios, Wanda Nara's stylist; Cinzia, the first Venezuelan in the Argentine edition, connected to the art world and 'quite controlling'; Martín Rodríguez, a crossfit champion who calls himself 'extremely honest' but fears the dark; and Solange Gómez Abraham, returning after 15 years from the 2011 edition in pursuit of revenge.
Early interactions featured an awkward moment when Juani approached Lolo Poggio, an actor from 'La sociedad de la nieve', who expressed interest in a model but the conversation didn't go as hoped. Manuel Ibero stirred controversy by saying he was tired of being 'just Zoe Bogach's ex'. Additionally, Anna del Boca commented on a possible romance involving her mother Andrea del Boca in the house.
