Mariana Ochoa Wins 4 Million Pesos
The production confirmed that Mariana Ochoa took first place, followed by Memo Schutz in second and Karina Torres in third. Milenio reported that Gema Garoa finished in fifth place and Ese Pérez finished fourth. The winner’s prize was housed in an iconic briefcase containing a base amount of 4 million pesos.

Karina Torres Secures Third Place
Karina Torres, a content creator and influencer known as “La Licenciada,” finished the competition in third place. Telediario reported that Torres spent over 60 days in the house, where she survived multiple nomination galas and built a significant follower base that supported her through the voting process. Upon her elimination during the final gala, she was greeted by family, former participants, and hosts in the television forum.
Path to the Final and Participant Backgrounds
The road to the finale included several unexpected turns, most notably for the winner. Milenio noted that Mariana Ochoa was the first inhabitant eliminated from the season but returned to the competition through a dynamic called “El Exilio,” eventually becoming the first finalist to secure her spot.
The finalists brought diverse professional backgrounds to the house:
- Mariana Ochoa: A member of the group OV7 with experience in television and musical theater.

- Karina Torres: A digital influencer who expanded her audience via the reality show.
- Ese Pérez: A musician and content creator known for comedy videos.
- Gema Garoa: An actress trained at Televisa’s CEA who entered the competition as a surprise inhabitant.
Public Vote Determines Elimination Order
The competition lasted 68 days, with participants eliminated through public vote. Milenio provided a detailed breakdown of the exits leading up to the finale. Ernesto Laguardia finished seventh, exiting on Sept. 30, while Yahir finished sixth, a result that Milenio reported sparked accusations of fraud among some viewers.
