The former Big Brother contestants premiered their series, and on Intrusos they couldn't contain their laughter: “Are you going to the Oscars?”
On Monday, December 8, the series El Hotel de los Secretos premiered, a fictional product designed for consumption on social media via cell phones. It is a popular format in Asia and Europe, but one that has not yet been exploited as much in Argentina. For this reason, four former Big Brother contestants (two of them winners) gave free rein to this trendy model. However, upon seeing the final result, Intrusos (América TV) tore them apart. "The miniseries has 40 episodes, each approximately 45 seconds long. The goal is for users to want to watch the next one without stopping, but, just like on-demand streaming platforms, you have to pay to access the full content. This fiction was written by Sol Levinton and directed by Jorge Bechara. The cast includes Marcos Ginocchio (Leo), Santiago “Tato” Algorta (Gastón), Luz Tito (Paula), and Martina Pereyra (Julieta). "The plot follows the story of four friends who meet at a hotel at Christmas and together must overcome old grudges from the past, while a secret involving them is about to come to light and jeopardize their relationship. “In line with this, on Wednesday's Intrusos, the panel analyzed this audiovisual product and did not spare the actors with their criticism. ”They're all f***ing awful and their performances are shitty,“ Rodrigo Lussich said ironically, adding: ”Have the Oscar nominations already been finalized, or can we still get them in? No, it's true that Belén, played by Dolores Fonzi, is really going for it. “The people on the other side have no idea who they are,” added Adrián Pallares with a laugh. “Marcos has a hard time speaking,” commented Paula Varela, while Karina Iavícoli blurted out, “You can't believe what you see.” It should be noted that during the analysis of the cast's performance, Varela announced that, due to the furor surrounding this way of creating soap operas, Wanda Nara and Maximiliano López had signed a contract to star in a vertical series in 2026. They then showed some of the comments and memes that appeared on social media following the premiere of the series El Hotel de los Secretos. “I thought the clips of [María Eugenia] ‘la China’ Suárez were bad, but this is even worse”; “A speech therapist for Marquitos”; “Not even two seconds in and I already want to throw my phone on the highway”; and "Crap from start to finish. I don't know who told these kids they can act. Unfortunately, it will encourage a lot of influencers who are not prepared to act to do the same, and they will be the fiction of the future. It's all very tacky and cheap,“ were some of the comments from those who watched the first five episodes. For their part, the former Big Brother contestants posted on their respective social media accounts and thanked their followers for their support and affection after the project's premiere. ”The first five episodes are out. What do you think so far? Thank you very much for all the nice comments and the trend,“ said Algorta. Like his colleague, Ginocchio posted an Instagram story with the series trailer and wrote: ”The first episodes are out," adding a heart emoji.
