It was the most requested program since mandatory isolation began in the middle of the pandemic. And more than two years after that moment, Big Brother returned to the Telefe screen with peaks of 23 rating points. With the leadership of Santiago Del Moro and the duo of Wanda Nara and Roberto Funes Ugarte at the door of “the most famous house in the country”, the 18 participants chosen by the production were announced and the casting made people talk.
Unlike other years, in this edition the call for the reality show was for people from 18 to 101 years old, with the aim of showing generational crosses. And although most of the “little brothers” average about 20 years old, more mature players also entered who will make their contribution to coexistence in the 2000-square-meter house.
Only in the first broadcast, social networks exploded with the presentation of each of the applicants for the prize of 15 million pesos.
