‘Beba’ cries when remembering her expulsion from ‘Desafío XX’

On April 2, 2024, the famous Colombian program ‘Desafío XX’ began broadcasting. This time, the twentieth edition of the ‘reality show’ is commemorated, which promises to bring challenging tests for the contestants in the ‘city of boxes’. Participants compete in teams and face elimination when they are sentenced. However, ‘Beba’ from the Alpha team was the exception when she was expelled.

Valerie de la Cruz was one of the most controversial people on the Caracol Televisión program. She repeatedly fought with her classmates and was nominated three times by the other groups, making her the member who wore the vest the most times. He was saved from the ‘Black Box’ twice, but on the third time he didn’t even manage to compete.

One day before facing the others selected in the ‘Death Challenge’, ‘Beba’ broke the rules. During that cycle, the members of Alpha were in ‘Playa Baja’ and, after Beta’s victory in the ‘Sentence, Reward and Punishment Challenge’, they were chosen to wear boxing gloves for 24 hours.

After an argument, the Barranquilla woman took off her mittens, left ‘Playa Baja’ and spent the night at the Alpha house. There, he broke two rules. The next day, presenter Andrea Serna announced her expulsion.

As usual, Those eliminated go to the program ‘Día a Día’ to talk about their career in ‘reality’ and ‘Beba’ was no exception. There, he talked about the obstacles, the tests and his exit from the competition. The 25-year-old woman from Barranquilla had problems living together and several times complained about tendonitis in her arms.

The presenters showed her the full video of her last moments and the young woman could not hold back her tears. Her eyes watered as she watched the images.

“There were too many things. The truth is, at that point, I think it was very honest to say thank you, it was like a relief,” said the Colombian, who repeatedly expressed her desire to leave the ‘Desafío’.

He also took the opportunity to clarify a part of his speech that night. In a moment, She compared herself to her partner Santiago and said that while he had been trying to enter for nine years, she had succeeded on the first attempt.

“What I wanted to say was: first, and I emphasize this, I admire everyone a lot. I know that she was not the only one who was in poor health, I know that there was a lot of everything that comes with the level of this competition, but perhaps I was not as mentally and emotionally prepared as everyone else who was there who already knew what they were going for, because they had tried year after year to enter and it is not easy“, said.

Afterwards, he apologized: “To the fans and followers of the program, sorry. I am responsible for what I say, but not for what they misinterpret, but I do want to apologize if it sounded arrogant on my part. What I was referring to is that I am a content creator on social networks and they sent me a message to be part of this process.”

Finally, the former ‘Desafío XX’ contestant confessed that she went through difficult times during her time on the program.

“It is a process, what I experienced there was very hard. One feels that this is the world, one forgets that there is a life outside. I forgot that they were recording me, so being an emotional person worked against me. One does not experience such extreme conditions on a day-to-day basis,” he concluded.
