The reality competition series Gran Hermano saw a surprising elimination on Thursday, March 13, 2026, as Carla “Carlota” Bigliani was voted off the show after just one week in the house. The unexpected departure has sparked discussion among fans and analysts alike, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the game.
According to reports, the vote was positive, leading to a final decision between Brian Sarmiento, Carlota, and Nick. Host Santiago del Moro announced, “Carlota is leaving the house, abandoning Gran Hermano.”
Carlota entered the house as a replacement for Divina Gloria, who left due to health issues. Despite her brief time on the show, she quickly became a topic of conversation on social media, generating numerous memes due to her limited participation. She did not even participate in the nomination process.
Known to her followers as “Carlota” or “Hola Potra,” Bigliani described herself as an entrepreneur and content creator specializing in design and sales of accessories. She shared that she works from home, allowing her to balance her career and family life, stating, “It’s quite comfortable, I can take care of my daughters,” and emphasizing the importance of family in her life.
This elimination is the first of a double elimination, with another contestant set to abandon the house on Monday, intensifying the tension within the game. The news comes as Gran Hermano continues to be a major cultural touchstone in Argentina, drawing significant viewership and online engagement.
Following her elimination, analysts discussed the outcome, with some calling it “a scam,” according to Infobae. The unexpected turn of events underscores the power of the public vote in shaping the trajectory of the competition.
