Álex Ghita was the first contestant evicted by the audience in the reality show Supervivientes 2026 during the live gala broadcast on March 12, 2026. The audience voted to save Marisa Jara, resulting in the departure of Álex Ghita from the main group of survivors. However, the expulsion was revealed to be a fake departure designed by the production team. Instead of being sent back to Spain, the contestant was transported to a secondary location known as Isla Destino or Destination Island. This twist ensures that the first person voted out remains in the competition under isolated conditions. The event took place during the second gala of the season, which was hosted by Jorge Javier Vázquez and María Lamela.
Upon discovering that he was not returning to Spain, Álex Ghita reacted with visible anger and directed threats toward the show's organization. He reportedly lost his temper and demanded to be allowed to leave the island immediately rather than staying at the new secret location. The contestant expressed his frustration to the production team, questioning the validity of the twist and pleading for his release from the program. This outburst followed a week where he was described by some sources as a highly controversial figure among his peers. The tension escalated as he realized his time in Honduras was not yet over despite the public vote. „Get me out of here, please!” — Álex Ghita via 20 minutos
The gala also featured significant developments for the remaining contestants, including the crowning of a new leader. Ivonne Reyes earned the title of leader, granting her specific powers and immunity within the game. Meanwhile, former rhythmic gymnast Almudena Cid was officially assigned to a team during the episode. The group as a whole faced a collective punishment for breaking established rules on the island. As a result of their infractions, the contestants were stripped of their fire, significantly increasing the difficulty of their survival conditions in the Honduran wilderness.
The 2026 edition of the show continues the long-standing tradition of the Spanish survival format. Supervivientes is the Spanish version of the global survival reality franchise where contestants are abandoned in remote locations with minimal resources. The participants must compete in challenges to win rewards and immunity while facing periodic eliminations determined by public voting. The program has been a staple of Spanish television for decades, often featuring a mix of celebrities and public figures. The 2026 season is produced for Telecinco and maintains the format of live weekly galas and daily updates. The current season features a diverse roster of participants competing for a final cash prize through physical and mental endurance. Following the latest nominations, the competition enters a new phase with fresh alliances and rivalries forming among the survivors.
