Gran Hermano Generación Dorada tops Argentine ratings and ignites viral dance controversy

The nomination gala of Gran Hermano Generación Dorada aired on June 3 on Telefe and became the most‑watched program of the day, achieving a 13.5 rating and occupying two of the top five slots in the national audience ranking.

A separate episode on June 5 showed a hot dance between contestant Brian Sarmiento and newcomer Mariela Prieto at a house party. A video of the performance quickly went viral on social media, prompting speculation about a possible reaction from the show’s mentor known as “Turco García.” The same night the host, Santiago del Moro, announced the eight nominated participants—Matías Hanssen, Brian Sarmiento, Franco Zunino, Emanuel Di Gioia, Juan "Juanicar" Caruso, Sol Abraham, Yisela "Yipio" Pintos, and Andrea del Boca—and later confirmed the first three to leave the risk zone.
