What Survivors It is an extreme contest, not only do we know it because of the harshness of the conditions in which the intrepid celebrities who launch themselves into the adventure from the helicopter must live. In addition to sleeping outdoors, having to endure harsh physical tests, putting up with the hostile presence of bugs and wild animals around them or dealing with the bad mood and competitiveness of other rivals, one of the hardest things to deal with It is the lack of food. Not making a fire with which to cook, scarce fishing or losing tests with rewards of delicacies end up wreaking physical havoc on the bodies of the contestants, who say goodbye to the contest with impressive changes on the scale. In the most extreme cases they have lost more than thirty kilos. Here we review the most striking changes:
The record loss occurred in the 2017 edition, when Karina’s hairdresser and ex-husband, Juan Miguel, found in Honduras the best remedy to recover his figure and lower a little the bulging belly with which he entered. The difference in weight that marked the scale between the moment of starting her adventure in Cayos Cochinos and his departure from the reality show was more than surprising, neither more nor less than 35 kilos in weight. Not in vain he lasted 77 days in the contest.
In second place in the “express diet” ranking for suffering hunger and calamities in front of the cameras, is the case of Rafi Camino, who lost a whopping 30 kilos. Jorge Javier, upon his return to Spain, told him that he had arrived on the island “like a Buddha” and he had abandoned her “turned into a George Clooney”.
The singer Francisco He was one of the contestants in the 2018 edition, and when he was expelled – in seventh place – and went back on the scale, he was petrified: he had lost 25 kilos. He entered the island close to one hundred kilos and left with 76. “I look like a 40-year-old kid!”, he said when he saw himself in the mirror. Then he suffered the rebound effect and in just a few days he won 10 again.
In the 2020 edition José Antonio Avilés lost 23. “I’m halfway back to where I was,” she said. Maestro Joao, who lost 22 kilos in twelve weeks, did not recognize himself either. “I don’t recognize myself. I look like a great guy,” he said. And not far behind him in the ranking Carlos Alba, who in Survivors 2021 lost 21 kilos.
Almost 20 kilos, on the other hand, were those that were lost in one fell swoop. Kiko Matamoros y Desiree Rodriguez in the 2022 edition, while Alejandro Nieto, Yulen Pereira, Nyno Vargas, Ginés Corregüela -the King of sandwiches- and Jaime Nava lost around 18 kilos in their respective adventures.
Arrocet Mustache It was in 2017. It participated in the same edition as Alba Carrillo and Lucía Pariente. María Teresa Campos’ ex was the protagonist of a great controversy by going on a “hunger strike.” Kiko Jiménez was the winner of a televote that ended with Bigote Arrocet expelled.
In Survivors 2020, Rocío Flores lost 15.6 kilos, a change in his body that he took advantage of to maintain. The truth is that – with the help of certain touch-ups – her image of her since then took a turn and changed radically. Others like Raquel Mosquera -in 2023- or Isabel Pantoja -in the 2019 edition- left ten kilos in Honduras.
However, there are cases that have attracted attention due to the few havoc that the lack of food has had on the contestants. Thus, we have the example of Adara Molinero, who suffered from stomach problems that made it appear that she had not lost any weight. Or Isa Pi, who participated in 2015, and who will go down in the history of the contest for having lost only 100 grams. Also Raquel Bollo returned home with almost the same size with whom he had gone, like Oriana, who only lasted four days in Cayo Cochinos.
