Singer María Karunna became the second contestant eliminated from the second season of the reality show La Granja VIP, according to broadcast details from TV Azteca and reporting by El Financiero. Her departure followed a public vote during the elimination gala, bringing an end to a week in which the former Caló member experienced personal strain inside the compound.
Elimination Gala Results and Public Vote
The public saved reality television personality Niurka Marcos first, followed by comedian Mónica Escobedo, who secured her place in the competition. Kevin Contreras, known as “Bicolor,” was the third contestant saved by viewers, receiving enough votes to continue in the house after watching a clip of his housemates discussing him.
The final two nominees remaining in the elimination room were María Karunna and media personality Carlos Trejo. Viewers ultimately cast more votes to keep Trejo in the house, resulting in Karunna’s exit from the program. Coverage from El Financiero noted that Karunna welcomed the outcome, as she had expressed a desire to leave the show after finding the experience overly difficult. “Me voy con mi familia, con mi grupo, soy un ser de luz, soy cristiana, tengo valores y esto está muy lejos, gracias por toda la gente que me quiere, pero estoy feliz de salir de aquí,” Karunna stated in the studio, as reported by El Financiero.
Background of the Eliminated Contestant
Before her time on the reality series, María Karunna built a career in the Mexican music industry as a member of the 1990s group Caló. Alongside group members including her sister Maya Karunna and Claudio Yarto, she performed on tracks that blended rap, hip-hop, and electronic music, such as “Capitán,” “Formas de amor,” “No puedo más,” and “Ponte atento,” according to production notes provided by TV Azteca.
New Addition to the Cast
Alongside the elimination results, the program introduced singer and actor Pablo Montero as the twentieth official participant of the season, according to El Financiero. Montero, whose birth name is Óscar Daniel Hernández Rodríguez, has a television career spanning back to the 1990s with appearances in telenovelas including Lazos de amor, Abrázame muy fuerte, and Fuego en la sangre, alongside a career in regional Mexican music and a starring role in the biographical television series El último rey.
