The same evening brought bigger surprises. Lolita Cortés, a veteran entertainer and judge, requested immediate departure. She cited serious health and mental health concerns requiring immediate attention. Production approved her exit without delay or public discussion. Her decision surprised everyone since she wasn’t voted out.
“By public vote, Jawy Mendez became the fourth eliminated from The VIP Farm 2025 while Lola Cortes decided abandon the program by their own request.”
The double departure created immediate chaos on social media. Fans debated whether the show’s format was too intense for contestants. Mental health discussions dominated Twitter and Facebook discussions.
Why This Matters for Reality TV
La Granja VIP represents Mexico’s biggest celebrity reality experiment. 16 Mexican celebrities live together performing farm work for 10 weeks. The reality show streams 24/7 on Disney+ allowing viewers to watch constantly. Winners could earn significant prize money.
The double elimination raises real questions about contestant wellbeing. Reality TV often prioritizes ratings over mental health. Lolita Cortés stepping away signals potential burnout risks. Fans now worry about remaining contestants’ physical and emotional states pushing forward.
TV Azteca hasn’t released official statements about the departures. Production silence fuels speculation about behind-the-scenes drama. Some viewers suspect internal conflicts contributed to both exits. The show’s format demands 24/7 participation without normal breaks.
Timeline of Eliminations and Key Events
Here’s what occurred since La Granja VIP premiered:
| Elimination Number | Contestant Eliminated | Date of Exit | Exit Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st Eliminated | Carolina Rosa | October 2025 | Public Vote |
| 2nd Eliminated | Sandra Itzel | October 27 | Public Vote |
| 3rd Eliminated | Eleazar Gómez | October 26 | Public Vote |
| 4th Eliminated | Jawy Méndez | November 9 | Public Vote |
| Voluntary Exit | Lolita Cortés | November 9 | Health-Related |
The pattern shows increased contestant departures after the first month. Early eliminations came slowly. By November, multiple exits happened in single episodes. This suggests the farm’s physical and mental demands intensified over time.
What Happens Next?
The show continues despite the double exit. Remaining competitors must adapt losing two family members from the farm. Alfredo Adame and Alberto El Patrón remain among the strongest contenders. The finale arrives December 21, 2025 on Disney+ Mexico and TV Azteca.
- 12 contestants will continue competing for remaining weeks
- Weekly eliminations continue through viewer voting
- The prize pool attracts remaining celebrities seeking victory
- Fan reactions on social media will likely intensify scrutiny
- TV Azteca may need to address wellness protocols going forward
Viewers are now demanding production transparency. Mental health support availability questions dominate fan pages. La Granja VIP executives must respond thoughtfully moving forward. This double exit changed the show’s narrative permanently.
Could This Happen Again on Reality TV?
The November 9 episode sparked bigger industry discussions. Mexican reality television has always pushed boundaries. But contestant welfare must become priority number one. Jawy and Lolita’s exits suggest the farm lifestyle may be unsustainable.
Streaming 24/7 creates constant pressure invisible to regular TV. Viewers watch intentionally during off-hours seeking drama. This never-rest format wore down even experienced performers. Lolita Cortés likely understood her limits and respected them responsibly.
Future reality shows must learn from La Granja VIP’s unexpected crisis. Mental health resources need strengthening. Contestants require actual rest periods. The competitive element shouldn’t override human wellbeing completely. Mexican audiences deserve entertainment without ethical compromise.
