In life, you have to dare.
The judging panel will feature Maru Botana, Germรกn Martitegui and Damiรกn Betular. Botana replaces Donato de Santis, who announced at the end of the previous edition that he would step away from the programme. Ian Lucas won that season.
Among the contestants are actor and presenter Diego Ramos, musician Alejandro Lerner, journalists Luciana Geuna and Paula Trรกpani, and Hernรกn Coronel, singer of the cumbia villera group Mala Fama. RKT singer L-Gante will also take on the kitchen challenge.
Iโm horrible in the kitchen, I donโt know how to make scrambled eggs, but I study every day.
The cast includes several figures with reality television connections. Luck Ra previously appeared as a guest to help his then-partner, La Joaqui, in the last edition. Julieta Poggio, a former Gran Hermano contestant, will join as an influencer, dancer, actor and model. Grego Rossello, who accompanied the programme through Telefeโs streaming channel last year, will now compete.
Iโm very, very happy to be taking part. I donโt know how to cook much, only the basics: stews, buttered noodles and sausages. But Iโm going to learn.
Lizy Tagliani, China Ansa and Edith Hermida are also confirmed. Some contestants have already joked about their limited experience. Lerner said, โIn life, you have to dare,โ while Grego Rossello admitted, โIโm horrible in the kitchen, I donโt know how to make scrambled eggs, but I study every day.โ Tagliani said she could cook only basic dishes, but was โvery, very happyโ to be taking part.
Will I finally learn how to cook?
