He made himself known on 'GH Vip', he sank his public image on 'The Island of Temptations' and it seems that now 'Survivors' has reconciled him with the audience. And it is that the popular vote has given Alejandro Nieto absolute glory by proclaiming him this Thursday, July 28, the winner of Telecinco's reality show.
No one was dabbed hard by the man from Cádiz, who has carried a heavy 'macho' attitude since his time on the last installment of the couples show. And although the stigma of his television past has also haunted him in 'Survivors', viewers have forgiven him once they have been able to appreciate the other side of the controversial contestant, that of his noble and warrior nature.
And the winner is…. ALEXANDER 👏🥳

The former big brother has earned the nickname 'wild' that his teammates have given him. In addition to having proven to be outstanding in survival and in tests, if a behavior especially honored to Alejandro is precisely not having skimped when it comes to sharing the coveted rewards with his companions. In an extreme habitat where every gram of food is a treasure, the group restaurant has named it the most generous.
Nieto beat another contestant who would have been a fair winner in a heart-stopping final: Marta Peñate. Intense, charismatic and even a little unbearable on some occasions, the Canarian hurricane took 42 days that remained banished to live with itself, a loneliness with which it was not able to deal when it landed on Playa Parasito.

Without detracting from her incredible effort as a survivor (which led her, for example, to break an impression record on the 'Infernal Ferris Wheel'), personally, Marta has represented the paradigm of evolution. Thanks to her, she knew how to spark, she knew how to feel humor and a trainable spontaneity, she also positioned herself as a firm candidate for victory.
Ignacio de Borbón, expelled at the gates
Of course, as Lara Álvarez highlighted at the beginning of the final gala, the involvement has been exceptional on the part of almost all the contestants. Any of the four 'robinsons' who landed on the set of Telecinco aboard the helicopter would have been a worthy winner. However, the decision of the public left Ignacio de Borbón unable to dispute the victory. Whoever held the leadership a whopping seven times would lose the confrontation against Nacho Palau, becoming the last expulsion.
Thus, as soon as he got off the aircraft, Miguel Bosé's ex went to part of the shortlist of finalists along with Marta and Alejandro.
Ignacio has been a great survivor and a great contestant 🙌

As a continuation, the three were measured in a first challenging and 'high' game developed outside the set. In eight minutes they can build towers with pedestals; a challenge of balance, dexterity and speed that would be won by two who managed to have more blocks under their feet. Climbed to a height of four meters, and light years from his two companions, the man from Cadiz remained.
The second winner was Palau, despite having fewer pedestals than Marta. According to Lara Álvarez, the reason is that the survivor stood on top of the structure, a requirement that the presenter did not comment until that moment and unleashed, once again, the "tongo" complaints on social networks.
All the concentration of the world in this penultimate game of the edition 😯

The final face to face: Marta vs. Alexander
But the die was already cast, so the first and second places classified the two male contestants to star in the emblematic apnea test. At the same time that the Canarian was left, she has expenses from the public's televote together with the contestant who spent the least time under the water.
The nerves played a trick on the Italian, who barely lasted 30 seconds. With a direct passport to the final duel, the Cadiz player took just over 200.000 euros. Later, in an "amazing" vote marked by the technical problems of the application due to the avalanche of viewers willing to be chosen as his favorite, Nacho was eliminated against Marta.
Martha made it to the final. !! Congratulations!! 👏🥰

“I am very calm, because whoever wins will be an excellent winner. Both of them are real beasts. It is one of the final betters”, Jorge Javier Vázquez referred to the last classified in the live connection prior to entering the plate.
Giving way to the exciting final stretch of the gala, both were reunited with former colleagues and family members. “And what do I do if I come second? Do I keep clapping and smiling? If that happens, tell Alejandro that I will not congratulate him until 20 minutes have passed because I will be exhausted, ”commented the Canary Islander with her characteristic verbiage when meeting her sister again. The endearing moment helped them calm their nerves before receiving the verdict that would raise one of them with the title of winner of 'Survivors 2022' and with the prize of 200.000 euros.

Until the final decisive touch to the edition finally arrived. After confirming the sit-in of the last winner of the reality show, Olga Moreno, Jorge Javier announced the public's decision. "The viewers have decided that the winner of 'Survivors 2022' is... Alejandro!", the presenter communicated. Still in 'shock', the brand new vendor received the juicy check from Lara Álvarez.
