MomenTVs Survivors and the "huevazos" of Ángel Cristo with Jorge Javier Vázquez
TV Survivors, to the limit with Carmen Borrego: "I have a lot of anxiety and I can't even breathe"
In
Survivors
we have seen dozens of abandonments, dozens of medical problems, dozens of evacuations. Health problems, hunger, lack of sleep, adaptation to conditions that not everyone is able to sustain give in each edition some abandonment just because or some other due to medical decision. If you had asked anyone 20 days ago who we thought was going to be the first to leave, most of us would have answered
Carmen Borrego
. In reality, the first was
Zayra Gutiérrez
, who is already in Spain with crutches included after the
Survivors
medical team decided that her back problems made it impossible for her to continue.
However,
Carmen Borrego
was the first to activate the abandonment protocol 48 hours after jumping from the helicopter. It was a threat that has been repeated as the days have passed. Suddenly
Carmen Borrego
got windy, she picked up her things, said she was leaving, got on the boat, left, and within half an hour she returned with "the 'doc' has seen me, I'm much better now." Until last Thursday. After the gala it seems that things got serious.
Carmen Borrego
couldn't breathe, she couldn't sleep and she was like a lost soul walking along
Playa Condena
repeating over and over again "I can't take it anymore, my body can't take it, it can't stand it, I'm not going to go crazy here." So the next morning after a new episode in which she was short of breath, she grabbed three things, she got on the boat and here we have come.
The problem of Survivors with Carmen Borrego
Anyone who has suffered from anxiety knows how bad it is, to which we must add being in the conditions that one is in
Survivors
. Until then, not a but. The problem is when she gives the impression that
Carmen Borrego
did not know where she was going or she did not want to know. Without having experienced
Survivors
in the first person, everyone knows that they are going to go hungry, that they are going to leave their skin and get hurt in the tests, that they are going to live with hundreds of insects, that they are not going to sleep, that your body is going to suffer what it has probably never suffered before, that your mind is going to go through the worst stages and that coexistence is not going to be a walk in the clouds.
Carmen Borrego
knew it and yet she agreed to go without being mentally strong enough. The death of her mother, a little over five months ago, is a backpack with which
Carmen Borrego
has traveled to Honduras thinking she could handle it and, now, both she and
Survivors
have realized that she cannot handle it. weight.
He said last night on
Survivors: Honduras Connection
that he was not suffering from being hungry, that the worst thing was not sleeping and the "click" he had in his head. That click is nothing other than not having yet gotten over the death of
María Teresa Campos
and, although they don't say it, seeing themselves as one of the weakest survivors. Maybe everything we have seen from
Carmen Borrego
these weeks - not wanting to take the tests, not wanting to participate, etc. - all responds to the same thing. However, what is difficult to understand is that the program's psychologists did not realize before that
Carmen Borrego
's mind was not prepared to face
Survivors
.
I think it is the first time that something similar has happened on
Survivors
, that a contestant is separated due to the mental inability to adapt to
reality
.
Carmen Borrego
was the first. The medical report, read last night by
Sandra Barneda,
is very clear: "The contestant
Carmen Borrego
presents a picture of anxiety caused by her maladjustment to the conditions of the program. Although she feels physically well, she cannot overcome the anxiety generated by her stay." on the beach. Therefore, she has to be separated from the group and be attended to by the psychologist and the medical team waiting to see her evolution and study the viability of her continuity in the contest."
And now that? Well, waiting is what we have to do.
Carmen Borrego
doesn't want to throw in the towel. She has asked
Survivors
to give her time to recover, to get over this bump and be able to return. Well, the doctors have said it's okay, but I think that
this is not good for
Survivors
and they are more aware. You just had to see last night how
Sandra Barneda
tried in a soft and sibylline way to convey to
Carmen Borrego
that she looked fine physically, but that her eyes were eyes of sadness, of not being able to take it anymore. When a contestant has wanted to leave
Survivors
, the usual thing is that the presenter who has to deal with the abandonment does everything possible to try to get the contestant in question to stay. With
Carmen Borrego
that spirit did not transfer to the other side of the screen. Because? Because a physical problem can be solved with medicine, a mental problem requires a lot of work, which
Carmen Borrego
is already doing with the psychologist from
Survivors
, but it is not the panacea, it is not overnight, because
Carmen Borrego
's downturn It goes much further than a slump due to problems adapting to
Survivors
.
Is this worth it to
Survivors
? It is not a question of whether it is worth it or not, it is a question that although
Carmen Borrego
feels better again, as soon as she returns to the contest and has to face the sleepless nights again, the coexistence, the tests, the hunger, to anxiety, the same thing will happen again.
"The door doesn't close completely, which is what I didn't want," said
Carmen Borrego
when
Sandra Barned
read the decision of the medical team to her along with her colleagues. "I thought that the decision was that it was over and I was not prepared, although we know that the comforts are outside of here, I
would like to continue living with these people
, something that up to now has done me a lot of good and I hope it will continue to do so for me" said
Carmen Borrego
. The problem for
Survivors
is that: how much time will
Carmen Borrego
need ?
Rocío Madrid, first expelled from Survivors
The survival reality show doesn't have it easy
. Carmen Borrego
wants to continue, but everything depends on overcoming that "bump." And how do you know if she gets over it? Bringing her back to the contest and seeing if she can handle it? After the decision that
Zayra Gutiérrez
returned to Spain and the entry of Marieta as her replacement, having another contestant on standby can be perks of the job as long as it can be assessed. The problem is that
Carmen Borrego
's situation
in
Survivors
is not like on other occasions. That backpack that she has admitted to carrying is difficult to put aside and continue. Survivors doesn't have it easy, neither does
Carmen Borrego
and the final expulsions have already begun. The first,
Rocío Madrid
, and what a spectacle.
Too many questions about what happened to
Rocío Madrid
in
Survivors
. First, her problems with
Aurah Ruiz
that were more than evident last Thursday. Then, her arrival at Playa Limbo and her accusations last night of being
bullied
by
Kiko Jiménez
,
Laura Matamoros
and
Lorena Morlote
. Some accusations that made
Sandra Barneda
herself jump
due to their seriousness. Especially after seeing the videos in which she did, indeed,
Rocío Madrid
did not fit in at Playa Limbo and suffered criticism from her colleagues, but bullying? Of course,
Survivors
has lost one of its great plots with the expulsion of
Rocío Madrid
.
"Thank you very much, although it sounds strange. I couldn't take it anymore and I didn't see myself capable of giving up because of a matter of self-love and this was getting to me. If I had stayed, I wouldn't have lasted more than two days in a row. I'm very grateful to everyone The world has supported me, but I'm happy to be leaving, you can't imagine what I've been through... That's it, that's it! Well, well, what a rest!" It is clear that R
ocío Madrid
did not want to be there anymore. It's not the only one.
