Rating: How the 'planta' elimination gala of Gran Hermano performed

Despite the significant attention on the FIFA World Cup 2026, regular programming in Argentina is striving to maintain audience engagement, with channels like Telefe and Televisión Pública seeing increased average ratings since the tournament began. Telefe, which is broadcasting more matches, recorded an average of 34.9 rating points for Argentina's 3-2 victory over Cape Verde last Friday, while the state channel garnered 4.5 points.

"Pasapalabra," hosted by Iván de Pineda, marked its return to television on Monday after a hiatus due to World Cup matches. The show immediately captured viewers, leading its time slot with a peak of 7.9 rating points. The episode featured a competition between Mihanovich, Minerva Casero, and Kevsho against Cae, Luchi Patrone, and El Peipper.

Meanwhile, Guido Kaczka's new talent show continues to captivate audiences with inspiring participant stories. In its third stage, contestants are tasked with surpassing previous performances to earn points and advance towards "El Palco del Ópera." Over 200 performers nationwide have been evaluated by judges Abel Pintos, Jimena Barón, "la Mona" Jiménez, and Joaquín Levinton. Micaela Barreto stood out with her rendition of "Aprendiz," earning praise from the judges. The show reached a maximum of 5.6 rating points. Other programs included LAM, which held third place with 2.8 points, followed by Bendita with 1.6 points.

The elimination gala for "Gran Hermano" also drew considerable attention, despite the World Cup's dominance. The departure of Nenu López and the "placa planta" (a specific elimination round) put several participants under scrutiny. Seven contestants were at risk of elimination after viewers voted positively for several participants to be saved. Sebastián Cola, Matías Hanssen, Juan Carlos “JC” López, Luana Fernández, Alejandra Majluf, Mariela Prieto, and Leandro Nigro were on the chopping block. The gala commenced with a baseline of 7.1 rating points, leading its time slot. Santiago del Moro announced Hanssen as the first saved contestant with 1.6% of the votes, followed by Cola (2.4%), Mariela (3.4%), JC (5.3%), and Majluf. Ultimately, Luana and Nigro remained, with Nigro being eliminated by 60.1% of the votes. "Gran Hermano" peaked at 10.5 rating points, demonstrating its continued popularity.
