The launch of the new season of the Hungarian talent show Megasztár has been marked by significant interpersonal tension and viewer controversy.

Initial disputes centered on the absence of former judge Tóth Gabi. New judge Puskás-Dallos Bogi faced backlash for jokes regarding Gabi, necessitating a public apology. On-set friction also emerged between judges Marics Peti and Herceg Erika, which included heated verbal exchanges and Marics briefly leaving the studio. During auditions, a group known as the Cretinsek caused chaos by presenting judges with spoiled fruit, forcing several to flee the studio due to the odor.

As the season progressed, tensions continued between judges Erika Herceg and Bogi Puskás-Dallos, with Puskás-Dallos suggesting that Herceg’s dramatic studio exits were insincere. These ongoing conflicts have led to viewer backlash on social media, with critics accusing the program of prioritizing interpersonal drama over musical talent.
