The sixth season of La Casa de los Famosos premiered this Tuesday, February 17, on U.S. television network Telemundo, with Jimena Gallego and Javier Poza once again at the helm.
The biggest surprise of the night was the presence of Mexican artist, entrepreneur, and politician Sergio Mayer. Alongside Laura Zapata and Lupita Jones, he forms a Mexican triumvirate of well known stars with extensive television experience.
However, it was not the only unexpected moment. The night began with a leader already in place, housemate already nominated, and another one left the house and would spend 48 hours in exile, in a terrible space.
