The renowned talk show host and former reality show contestant, Víctor Sandoval, has revealed in the podcast “Querido Hater”, hosted by Malbert, some unpublished secrets about his participation in the program ‘Survivientes’.
During the conversation, Sandoval shared shocking experiences that were not shown on screen during his stay on the island.
Because of the hunger that happened during the reality show
An unrecorded faint in ‘Survivors’
One of the most surprising moments that Sandoval revealed was when he revealed that he fainted during his participation in ‘Survivors’. In his own words, “I fall flat. There are no cameras. And when they find me, they have to repeat the action. I was fainted, they brought me to a doctor… And of course then people said “he threw himself, he threw himself”, and of course everyone questioned whether I had fainted or not. This is how Sandoval explains some of the undocumented aspects of the Mediaset reality show, showing that some extreme situations do not reach the audience.
Sandoval also mentioned after talking about Carmen Borrego’s participation in the reality show, that, despite the fact that she was hungry and going through difficult times, she had a “scheduled departure” from the program, generating speculation about the planning of certain aspects of the show and the degree of authenticity of the contestants’ experiences.
Another revealing detail was the context in which his fainting occurred. According to his story, he was with fellow contestant Yurena and fainted while he was climbing a tree. “They should have heard how I fell because I was alone. And I see Yurena with her face like that, surprised, telling me that I fell. And the team tells me, “this has to be recorded” and I tell them “record what if I’ve already fallen,” he says, laughing.
The anecdote about Sandoval’s fainting, which took place without the presence of cameras, raises interesting questions about the transparency and veracity of what is shown in this type of reality show, and also puts the spotlight on some of the challenges and dangers. that participants face behind the scenes, which often go unnoticed by the public.
