After 71 days of intense drama, non-stop 24/7 live streams, and passionate fan engagement, La Casa de los Famosos México Season 2 has concluded, crowning Mario Bezares as its winner. The TelevisaUnivision reality show, streamed on Vix, captivated audiences and dominated social media throughout its ten-week run.
The finale saw Arath de la Torre, Gala Montes, Karime Pindter, and ultimately Mario Bezares, as the last four housemates standing. Each week, viewers tuned in and passionately cast their votes to decide who would stay and who would be evicted, turning eviction night into a major television event. The audience’s fervent participation underscored the show’s immense popularity and cultural impact in Mexico.
However, the season wasn’t without its controversies. Advertisers briefly withdrew their sponsorships due to the behavior of contestant Adrián Marcelo. Marcelo, part of “Team Mar” (Sea Team), faced backlash for his psychological tactics against other contestants, leading to his eventual departure from the show amidst the uproar. Despite this controversy, “Team Mar” resonated strongly with viewers, with all five members reaching the season finale, demonstrating their popularity even amidst the surrounding drama. Brigitte Bozzo, also from Team Mar, secured fifth place, narrowly missing out on the final showdown.
La Casa de los Famosos México is the Mexican adaptation of the Big Brother format, created by John de Mol and produced by Endemol Shine Boomdog. The show’s format, featuring celebrity contestants living together in a house, constantly monitored by cameras, and facing weekly eliminations, has proven to be a winning formula with audiences worldwide, and especially in Mexico. Fans in Mexico were able to immerse themselves in the drama and excitement by streaming La Casa de los Famosos México 24/7 through Vix Premium, highlighting the importance of streaming platforms in the consumption of reality television.

Ultimately, with a staggering 39 million votes cast by viewers across Mexico, Mario Bezares was declared the winner of La Casa de los Famosos México Season 2. Bezares’ victory is particularly noteworthy as he becomes the first male winner in the history of the La Casa de los Famosos format across its various adaptations in the US (Telemundo), Colombia, and Mexico. Previously, all seasons in these regions had crowned female winners.
Adding another layer of historical significance to the franchise, the first season of La Casa de los Famosos México saw Wendy Guevara take home the top prize in 2023. Guevara’s win was groundbreaking as she became the first transgender woman to win the competition in Mexico, marking a significant moment for representation and inclusivity in Mexican reality television.
