Listen to the story

The Spanish TV show 'Supervivientes: All Stars' is preparing for its third edition. The show sends famous people to live on an island together.

Recently, the show revealed part of the new casting, meaning the list of people who will take part this season.

Many viewers have reacted online, and a lot of them are not happy with the choice of names.

Alba Carrillo, a well-known Spanish TV personality, also gave her opinion about the new season. She said: "Honestly, with these characters, I don't feel like watching it."

Her comment matches what many other people in the audience have said. Several fans feel the show needs new and more interesting faces.

Despite the criticism, the program has confirmed its first official contestant: Rosa Benito.

Rosa Benito already has experience in this type of reality show. She has won a similar competition before and made television history by doing so.

Speaking about her return, she said: "I want to be...", though the full quote was not completed in the report.

It is common for reality shows like this one to reveal contestants slowly, over several weeks, to keep public interest high.

The producers have not yet confirmed the complete list of participants for this new edition.

More names are expected to be announced soon, and it is likely that public reaction will continue, especially given the mixed response so far.

Fans of the format will now wait to see whether new additions can change the negative first impression shared by part of the audience.
