# Solange Abraham wins Gran Hermano amid format controversy > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/gran-hermano-argentina-encounters-scandal-and-contestant-withdrawal > Updated: 2026-09-20T00:37:31.000Z. Sources: 120. Developments: 51. The 2026 season of Gran Hermano Argentina, titled “Generación Dorada,” concluded on September 16 with Solange “Sol” Abraham crowned the winner. Abraham defeated runner-up Yisela “Yipio” Pintos, who secured $20 million and a house, by receiving 51.8% of the public vote. For her victory, Abraham received $70 million pesos, a prefabricated house, and a trophy. Abraham’s win has been marked by significant controversy. Some viewers questioned the transparency of the voting process and her path to the final, which included an expulsion and a subsequent return via a “Golden Ticket.” Furthermore, leaked audio allegedly showing Abraham discussing potential outcomes with production has fueled accusations of favoritism. Upon exiting the house, Abraham also faced boos from certain fans. During her post-game commentary, Abraham addressed her relationship with actress Andrea del Boca, claiming that Del Boca orchestrated emotional conversations regarding motherhood to “impact her psychologically during the game.” Media analysts have also criticized the season’s format. Ceferino Reato described the edition as “very tiring, very long, and very irregular,” expressing a preference for the traditional format featuring anonymous contestants over the celebrity-based structure. Additionally, Paraguayan presenter Carmiña Masi accused the production of committing “a fraud to the public” regarding voting mechanisms that prevented her return to the house. Masi also indicated that her lawyers are reviewing her contract due to alleged delays in compensation payments. As the season ends, host Santiago del Moro has announced that casting is open for a fifth edition. However, production will enter a hiatus as the Argentine technical crew is scheduled to host international editions of the franchise for neighboring countries. ## Claims - Jennifer “Pincoya” Galvarini was eliminated from Gran Hermano: Generación Dorada.
