Independent news reports state that the Exilio public vote (opened 11 Aug 2026) decided which eliminated contestant would re-enter and that the audience choice rejoined the main house on the gala of 2026-08-11. Milenio (article datelined 2026-08-11) reports that the vote closed during the Tuesday gala and that Mariana Ochoa obtained the majority and left El Exilio to return to La Casa de los Famosos. El Mercurio (Agencia Reforma, datelined 2026-08-11) likewise reports Mariana Ochoa was chosen by the public (after ~5.5 million votes) to return to the competition. These independent, contemporaneous accounts unambiguously establish that a previously eliminated contestant re-entered the main house as a direct result of the Exilio public voting that began on 2026-08-11.
