On the way to the third week of broadcasting the first edition of The house of the famous Mexico It has positioned itself as one of the most watched reality shows on national open television. At the first gala alone, 12.7 million people became aware of the first 13 celebrities who took up the challenge of a voluntary prison sentence for a little over two months.
However, the conversation is focused on the social networks about what do Wendy Guevara, Poncho de Nigris, Paul Stanley, Raquel Bigorra, Emilo Osorio, Sofía Rivera Torres (already eliminated), Sergio Mayer, Nicola Porcella, Apio Quijano, Marie Claire Harp (already eliminated), Jorge Losa, Bárbara or say Torres, Ferka and Barby Juárez (the last one to enter).
The hashtags #lacasadelosfamososmx and #lcdlfmx, the same ones used in the program’s official account, accumulate more than 5,000 million views with countless videos of the stars being watched 24 hours a day since June 4th.
Although the attraction is 14 entertainment stars, many doubted whether the show would be successful, since according to some former contestants of other reality shows, only a few in this group could (or were) considered famous. And there was the first mistake of these critics: the show isn’t the same as it was 20 years ago when Big Brother Mexico VIP took place, where many of the stars were made thanks to television.
Famous… according to who?
Yordi Rosado (now a Grupo Imagen talent) was one of those who rebelled against reality show Televisa from his radio show in Exa. According to the rider – who attended the second VIP edition of this Endemol program – Stanley (former partner at Members on the Air), Bigorra, Osorio, De Nigris, Quijano, Mayer and Torres make up the celebrity scale. The rest “I didn’t even know.”
To add to the controversy from his microphone, he regretted that in his opinion there was no one “prettier and more beautiful (…) than he could have imagined a Juan Soler and a super gallant José Ron Sebastián.” Rulli, Ferdinando Valencia , friends who are considered very handsome and who are very current, but well, it wasn’t like that.”

Phabs, content creator, journalist and current moderator on a section of “The Saga of Adela Micha” on YouTube, has also echoed criticism from LCDLF members, albeit with a sharper tone. “It seems to me that La casa de Wendy has the same sponsors as En familia con Chabelo, because it’s actually La casa de Wendy with pure Mueble Troncoso.” According to Tiktokera, “Only the elderly will understand that hint.”
His opinion has several certainties: Both En familia… and Muebles Troncoso belonged to a generation that was born almost at the same time as the legendary Chabelo program and the extinct furniture store more than five decades ago. Sergio, for example, is 57 years old and in the reality He is named Tata by Guevara, who at 29 is the second youngest in the house. A generation gap of almost three decades.
In addition to the former Garibaldi, Bárbara (50), Raquel (48), Poncho (47), Apio (46) and Barby (43) make up the group of “elderly” 40-year-olds; The rest are listed below, starting with Emilio (20), Sofía (30), Marie Claire (30), Jorge (33), Nicola (35), Ferka (36) and Paul (37).
While age isn’t an issue when it comes to celebrities, the egos — that shine in every celebrity — have so far come out in a healthy way.
During a conversation between Wendy, Sergio, Paul, Emilio, Apio and Nicola about the connections, friendships and acquaintances they have outside of confinement, it was the member of Kabah who confessed that many of his relatives were also surprised, some by ignoring them They would accompany him on the adventure.
Of the 14 celebrities, 10 had their leading man on screen, either as an actor, driver, model or in other reality shows (not to mention their personal controversies, which were picked up in various media). The rest excelled in sports (Barby Juárez), music (Apio Quijano) or content creators (Wendy Guevara and Poncho de Nigris).
And it’s like Rosado Many have forgotten that many celebrities have also appeared in the network universe, and there is the member of Las Perdidas and the former candidate of master chef (He reality on TV Azteca) are kings.
Mauricio Cabrera, one of the most experienced strategists in the digital industry, was one of the first to ensure that the success of La casa de los famosos was largely due to the presence of the influencer. Her prognosis goes even further and states that she will be the winner.
“If the people’s voices are truly respected, there’s no way she’ll end up being disfellowshipped (…), Wendy’s hashtag has 8.100 million views, she’s also dominating conversations on Twitter. To TV celebrities, they are followed and sometimes they are idolized, but very rarely loved, and Wendy is loved by her community, she represents a minority, but her transparent language puts her in contact with many people,” analyzed Cabrera.
Not only that, but the aspiring actress (she’s set to star in the bioseries Gloria Trevi and has already landed a role in a Juan Osorio production). There was a bridge between generations and celebrities in the house.
More than once he has surprised his partner Bárbara Torres by portraying almost perfectly every episode of La familia P. Luche in which the actress brought “Excelsa” to life. In fact, the show written by Eugenio Derbez is his favorite and he watches it every time he’s sad.
And it is that Wendy seems like a library of show business: from Mayer’s connections to his wife Isabella Camil’s ex-boyfriend, the catchphrase of the controversial Niurka (Emilio Osorio’s mother) or the chapter of Paul as a driver, in which he sees a young man presented Even as a baby, the YouTuber, who is also a YouTuber, showed that she could very well become the next headline of any entertainment show.
