Thursday night witnessed the second expulsion in the edition of ‘Survivors 2024’. Rocío Madrid, the Malaga actress, said goodbye to the competition in front of her colleagues Miri Pérez-Cabrero and Ángel Cristo Jr. in a gala full of emotions and surprises.
With a total of 17% of the votes in her favor, Rocío Madrid was forced to abandon and head towards Playa Limbo, without knowing it beforehand. The news came following an intense night of nominations and mixed emotions, where the audience had the last word on the fate of the contestants. The gala, hosted by the charismatic Jorge Javier Vázquez, was developed with the expectations of reality, where the participants fought for their permanence on the island. Rocío Madrid, along with Ángel Cristo Jr. and Miri Pérez-Cabrero, arrived at the event nominated following Aurah Ruiz was saved in a previous salvation ceremony.
The distribution of the votes revealed the fate of Rocío, who might not convince the audience enough to stay in the competition. Given the news, the contestant expressed her “desire to continue” on the island, highlighting her “personal growth and the experiences she still hoped to live.” However, the votes dictated her departure, and Rocío said goodbye amid displays of affection from her classmates, making it clear that although some aspects of the contest were “difficult,” she takes with her “valuable experiences and meaningful relationships.”
The most tense moment of the night came with Aurah Ruiz’s failure to say goodbye to Rocío Madrid, evidencing the tensions that had existed between both contestants throughout the program. Rocío responded with dignity, emphasizing that “each one shows their true nature in moments like this,” and wishing them the best despite their differences. The gala also left nominees for next week: Arantxa del Sol, Kike Calleja, Ángel Cristo Jr. and Aurah Ruiz, who were left in the hands of the audience to decide their fate in the competition.
