  • TV Guide Survivors 2024: galas, days, presenters and contestants

  • Telecinco Survivientes 2024: who are the 17 confirmed contestants

Survivientes

,

Telecinco

,

Jorge Javier Vázquez

and, this time, Cuarzo, the new producer in charge of the reality show did it again: again, they took a gamble and got it right.

Survivors 2024

started last night and did not disappoint.

Beyond the casting, always key for reality, the return of

Jorge Javier Vázquez

and the changes applied by the new production company hit the nail on the head.

Survivors

got it right by adding more fuel to the fire and betting on a gala so frenetic and intense that it was impossible not to stay glued to the screen.

From minute one with the welcome on the set to

Jorge Javier Vázquez

, who returned to television six months after the cancellation of

Cuentos Chinos

, shouting and chanting his name, until the final moment when

Carmen Borrego

was chosen by the public as the best helicopter jump of the night and had the power to change teams to be next to the one she called her "caretaker",

Kike Calleja

.

In between, the premiere of

Survivors

was marked, precisely, by her, by

Carmen Borrego

.

When

Telecinco announced that

María Teresa Campos

' daughter

was one of the contestants on

Supervivientes 2024

, no one doubted that

Carmen Borrego

was going to give more than one apotheotic moment on the

reality show

.

What was difficult to foresee is that it would happen so soon and so dramatic.

In fact, after the ovation for

Jorge Javier Vázquez

and his brief words addressed to the public after these six months away from television - "I am very happy to be with you again. I have missed you very much, thank you very much" - it was

Laura Madrueño

from Honduras which announced that for the first time in the history of Survivors one of the contestants refused to jump from the helicopter.

Not just to jump in, to get on it.

It couldn't be anyone else:

Carmen Borrego

.

Although she had been warning about it practically since the day it was known that she was going to compete in

Survivors

, it was difficult to think that

Campos

could have the good sense not to jump in and start making history in

Survivors 2024

.

Well, she was ready, she was.

If it is not because of that psychological game that

Jorge Javier Vázquez

always plays with the contestants, taking them to wherever they want, today the news would be that

Carmen Borrego

is still in the helicopter waiting to jump.

Survivors already have their first confrontation

It was an absolute drama.

Cuarzo did what had never been done before on the

reality show

: he stood on the heliport, live, to show viewers how

Carmen Borrego

refused to get on the helicopter.

"It's the scariest moment of my entire life," he repeated over and over again, putting his hands to his face, holding on to the life jacket he was wearing... And if that wasn't enough, La Campos' suffering with the helicopter,

Survivors 2024

decided that if at some point he agreed to get on the helicopter to jump, he would do it with his archenemy -yes, we hadn't even been in the gala for 20 minutes and

Carmen Borrego

already had an archenemy-:

Ángel Cristo

Jr.

In the few hours that the contestants of this edition of Survivors had previously coexisted, the war broke out between

Carmen Borrego

and Bárbara Rey's son.

A comment by

Ángel Cristo Jr.

that should have stayed at that and nothing more caused a monumental fight in which, as usually happens, led to the first division of coexistence.

Well, with

Carmen Borrego

scared to death by the helicopter jump,

Survivors

decided that the person she would have to jump with was

Ángel Cristo Jr.

If there are no plots, they are created.

After one, two, three... talks by

Jorge Javier Vázquez

with her, the presenter managed to convince her to at least get on the helicopter.

"

We can now affirm that

Carmen

is not going through the best moment of her life. She has been crying inconsolably. She says that she is not going away," the presenter warned, seconds before the helicopter took off, already with

Carmen

inside her.

While the rest of the contestants had already performed their jumps with more or less glory, with more or less risk, including a cushion with Jorge Javier Vázquez

's face , the helicopter headed towards the security circle where

Ángel Cristo Jr

would have to launch

.

Carmen Borrego

.

I don't want to imagine what that flight must have been like for... for

Ángel Cristo Jr.

Putting up with

Carmen Borrego

during the trip.

What a drama the daughter of María Teresa Campos

had with her

.

That she didn't pull and that she didn't pull on her, and that if they wanted they would go look for her.

"I'm scared to death, get me down from here," he said, clinging to everything he found inside the helicopter.

Ángel Cristo Jr.,

fed up with having to wait, made the decision to go over her and jump off her.

Wow, let someone else put up with it!

Let

Jorge Javier Vázquez

put up with it .

And boy did he put up with it!

Come on, if she hadn't been for the presenter, today we would have woken up with

Carmen Borrego

still on the air or taken to a hospital to treat her parraque.

The art of Jorge Javier Vázquez in Survivors

They were moments of incredible tension that

Jorge Javier Vázquez

resolved as he always resolves these issues in

Survivors

: with a left hand that not all presenters have.

He knew what key to press so that

Carmen Borrego

would stop lamenting, becoming unhinged, crying and protesting and would give him what needed to be done to jump.

With a question and with a lot of prior humor, the presenter got

Carmen Borrego

to agree to take the plunge.

Jorge Javier Vázquez

asked her what she thought

María Teresa Campos

would have said if she had seen her like that.

She did not fail to say anything else, nor to continue trying to convince her.

"I would be very scared but she would like me to be brave like I am going to be tonight," said

Carmen Borrego

, dedicating a greeting to all her relatives and especially to her husband: "After taking me in a helicopter, you will make me the helicopter when I arrive in Spain ".

This is also Survivors.

The contestant asked for the helicopter to be lowered even further and, although she had been warned that it was very windy and that lowering the device any further was dangerous, she managed to have it lowered, causing the helicopter to leave the safety circle and not stay completely. straight.

In her attempt not to be pulled off,

Carmen Borrego

made one of the lowest jumps, but also one of the most dangerous.

The drama, the panic, the tragedy and the final bravery of María Teresa Campos

' daughter

had her reward: the public chose her jump as the best of the night and gave her the power to choose if she wanted to change her equipment.

"I expected you to tell me 'smell your pussy!'" Carmen Borrego

snapped

at

Jorge Javier Vázquez

already on the ground.

Because for every challenge that

Carmen Borrego

overcame last night, she applauded herself, encouraged herself, and encouraged people to value the effort she was making.

She was, without a doubt, the protagonist of the first

Survivor

gala .

A gala that left us with honey on our lips with more desire for reality, with a new mechanic in which the Pirate Morgan has disappeared from Honduras and has made way for

Poseidon's Medusa

.

Now the beaches are

Playa Olimpo

and

Playa Condena

.

The first should be paradise, although we all know it is not;

the second is torture.

After a first test, that of the mud,

Gorka

was proclaimed the first leader of the night.

Some buckets with paint formed the teams.

The red, "where there is too much testosterone," said

Jorge Javier Vázquez

, and the blue.

With the teams already formed and once everyone was in the new

Survivors

Palapa , the blue team discovered its leader:

Mario

, who had made the best time in the test of all of them.

Mario González

, Claudia Martínez, Arantxa del Sol, Kike Calleja, Miri Pérez-Cabrero, Ángel Cristo Jr., Zayra Gutiérrez and Carmen Borrego went to Olimpo beach after Carmen Borrego used her power to change teams and go with her "caretaker" .

And Gorka Ibarguren, Javier Ungría, Aurah Ruiz, Blanca Manchón, Rubén Torres, Arkano, Rocío Madrid, Pedro García Aguado and Lorena Morlote, to Playa Condena.

Now yes, the

Survivors

adventure has begun.
