Ximena Herrera faces the highest risk of elimination ahead of the second Sunday gala of La Casa de los Famosos México 2026, according to unofficial audience polls circulating across social media platforms. The popular reality television competition continues its second week with tension mounting among the remaining housemates as public voting windows dictate who stays and who goes.
The upcoming broadcast airs this Sunday, August 9, at 20:30 central time on Las Estrellas and streaming service ViX, preceded by a pregala show starting at 20:00. Host Galilea Montijo leads the broadcast and announces the official voting results.
Who is nominated for the second elimination?
The final nomination plaque features four contestants: Ximena Herrera, Memo Schutz, Ernesto Laguardia, and Masad Altamimi, according to production details for the reality series. Gema Garoa was originally included in the danger zone this week, but fellow competitor Moisés Peñaloza exercised his right of salvation. Peñaloza chose to remove Garoa from the nomination block, securing her safety in the house and leaving the remaining four dependent on positive audience votes.
External tracking surveys published throughout the weekend indicate that Herrera currently registers the lowest voter intent among the four nominees. Her fellow nominees—Schutz, Laguardia, and Altamimi—occupy more favorable positions in those preliminary tallies, though production emphasizes that external polling does not guarantee official outcomes.
How voting and broadcasts shape the competition
The survival of each nominee rests entirely on audience participation through official voting channels provided by Televisa and ViX. Unofficial social media metrics serve only as spectator barometers rather than definitive results. House dynamics have shifted rapidly following the first week of competition, as alliances form and viewing publics mobilize behind their preferred personalities.
Sunday night’s live gala marks a crucial turning point for the remaining cast members as the season establishes its competitive rhythm. Viewers can access comprehensive coverage and live voting updates directly through the official ViX platform and broadcast network programming.
