Two contestants returned to ‘Top Chef VIP 3’ this Friday. They were Mariana Botas and Natalia Juárez, who won the elimination challenge in previous weeks and therefore now have the chance to return to the game.

Carmen Villalobos, the TV presenter, was in charge of sharing the news with the audience and the competitors: “I just want to tell you that tonight the protagonists are not going to be you, no, no, no, but you are going to help rewrite this story, because I tell you, we have opened a door that seemed closed forever, only for tonight a unique opportunity will be available. We are going to welcome some well-known guests into the kitchen who are here to stay.”

There was much excitement about the reunions that took place, but there was also anger because some felt that they should not have given this new opportunity, especially because those who remain have passed several tests.

Alicia Machado was one of those who was not so happy about this news, although she shared with some contestants like Ivana, a moment that added a lot to her, especially because of the tension they have experienced in recent days.

Gary Centeno, for his part, spoke of a very heavy energy that he did not feel comfortable with.

And what did the public say about these re-entries to ‘Top Chef VIP 3’?

In the comments on the Telemundo Realities Instagram account there were several reactions, most of them celebrating this decision. “Now who can stand Galeano crying over Pancho for the rest of the show?” “I’m not watching that anymore, I’m sticking with my soap operas,” “Congratulations to those two beauties.”

Others wrote: “Thank goodness a musketeer didn’t come back, so Galeano can go with them,” “Poor things, they entered that shark pit. I’ve never seen so much envy and evil in the two previous seasons. Well, that’s how it is.”

The news comes just before the grand finale is held and the winner of the $200,000 prize is announced.
