Jorge Javier Vázquez defends his role during heated Supervivientes All Stars gala

Studio confrontation between Jorge Javier and Beatriz Trapote

The broadcast of Supervivientes All Stars: Tierra de nadie on Tuesday, 29 September 2026, centred on the fallout from Belén Esteban's return to Telecinco. During her earlier appearance on ¡De viernes!, Esteban had stated she held the consent of her daughter Andrea to discuss Jesulín de Ubrique. Following contestant Víctor Janeiro's segment on the emotional bridge, his wife, journalist Beatriz Trapote, sat in the Madrid studio and wept while objecting to host Jorge Javier Vázquez directing his first inquiry toward Jesulín and Esteban. Vázquez rejected the complaint on air, defending his professional autonomy across his thirty-year career.

It seems very wrong to come here and correct a presenter. I am not just anyone, and it sounds ugly to say it, but I am Jorge Javier Vázquez.

Vázquez told Trapote that current affairs dictate television coverage and defended her right to decline answering without challenging the host. He subsequently attempted a further question regarding Trapote's relationship with Andrea Janeiro. Studio guest Terelu Campos also discussed Esteban following Esteban's remarks labeling Campos a nepobaby while praising her presenting career. Campos responded that Esteban had acted poorly toward both her and her daughter, setting up their scheduled reunion on the Friday broadcast of ¡De viernes!. The gala also featured a studio reunion between Laura Cuevas and Isa Pantoja.

Island disputes and family history

From Honduras, contestant Rosa Benito addressed her fractured relationship with Esteban during a conversation with castmate Rubén Torres. Benito, who won the 2011 edition of the competition, asserted that their friendship dissolved when Esteban spoke about Benito's daughter, Rosario Mohedano. In the Madrid studio, Mohedano supported her mother's stance, stating she had previously advised her mother to distance herself from Esteban.

We were very close friends, and she hurt me because she touched my daughter. Just as people cannot talk about her daughter, they cannot talk about mine either.

Janeiro reviewed his family background during his emotional bridge challenge in Cayos Cochinos, which included a dedicated step addressing his brother Jesulín and Esteban. Janeiro, unaware of Esteban's recent television return, stated that Esteban built a public career on his brother's profile and estimated she earned millions across twenty years of broadcasting. He stated that his family maintained principles of humility and chose not to respond to media controversies. Elsewhere on the island, contestant Marta Peñate experienced an anxiety attack following a reward challenge involving pasta.

Nomination salvation and upcoming eviction

The broadcast concluded with the weekly salvation ritual conducted by co-host María Lamela, determining which contestant would escape the eviction vote set for Thursday. The decision followed the previous Sunday's outcome, where Yola Berrocal earned immunity through La Liga de Nominados. Four contestants, Arkano, Asraf Beno, Ivana Icardi, and Yulen Pereira, gathered under a giant trident mechanism at dusk.

Arkano learned of his continued nomination first after being covered in black liquid. Icardi was eliminated from consideration next, leaving the final choice between Beno and Pereira. Beno was subsequently drenched in white fluid, securing safety from eviction for the second consecutive week and thanking the voting audience. As a result, Arkano, Icardi, and Pereira remain the three nominees facing the public vote during Thursday's eviction gala.
