The departure of Benjamín Lagos, the first eliminated from “Big Brother” Chile, not only caused a stir in the program, but also on social networks, where memes they were present. Benjamin has been criticized for his comments, attitude and personality, which has led to his participation in the reality show being very controversial.
One of the most controversial moments starring Benjamin in Big Brother Chile it was when he questioned the name of feminism and suggested that it should be called “equalism” if it sought equality. Another episode that generated rejection was when he admitted to being a fan of Andrew Tate, a man arrested for rape and human trafficking. These comments have been widely discussed and shared on social media.
However, the moment that generated the greatest repudiation before the memes it was a conversation with Rubén, where he equated the pain of a bad haircut with the loss of a family in a fire, and he did not allow Rubén to express his point of view. These attitudes earned him criticism of arrogance and indolence on social networks.
During the elimination, four participants were at risk: Francisca, Estefanía, Jennifer and Benjamín. Finally, Francisca and Estefanía were saved, leaving only Jennifer and Benjamín as the final nominees. With 56.79% of the votes against him, Benjamín Lagos became the first eliminated from Big Brother Chile.
The news shocked his colleagues, especially Fernando, who cried when saying goodbye to Benjamín due to the bond they had formed and feeling guilty for having voted against him. The farewell was brief and Benjamin quickly left the house of Big Brother Chilebeing transferred back to a hotel.
