Álvaro Muñoz Escassi, the renowned horse rider and entrepreneur, is gearing up for his return to reality television as one of the contestants on the much-anticipated Supervivientes 2025. With palpable excitement, he shared, "I am Álvaro, horse rider and entrepreneur, new contestant on Supervivientes. I participated 16 years ago, had to leave due to injury, but I'm back and eager to join you all in Honduras," he said in the show's promotional video.
Preparations for the extreme competition have been underway as Escassi has adopted some unconventional methods this time around. At the recent AEVEA awards ceremony held on February 19, 2025, he confirmed with reporters his strategy for the upcoming challenges, saying, "I’m gaining weight like crazy." This choice, he explains, is aimed at boosting his energy levels during the grueling tests of survival.
This is not Escassi's first foray onto the Supervivientes stage. Back in 2009, he had to withdraw from the contest due to a serious incident where he fell from a rotten branch, resulting in a grade two ankle sprain. "I had to be taken to the hospital, and I was casted up so I couldn’t continue the adventure," he recalled, indicating the severity of his previous experience.
The excitement surrounding the show continues to build as its premiere date, March 6, 2025, draws closer. Fans reminisce about the thrill of watching contestants plummet from helicopters, and they eagerly await Escassi’s next jump from the famous filming spot, marking the beginning of this season’s adventures.
Beyond the competitive aspect, viewers are also intrigued by Escassi's personal life, particularly his relationship with content creator Sheila Casas. The romance blossomed around October of last year, and during her recent appearances, Casas has shared insights about their connection. "Álvaro already knows my brothers and was very pleased," she mentioned, showcasing the couple's commitment even with Escassi's busy schedule preparing for Supervivientes.
This upcoming season of Supervivientes promises not only physical challenges but also emotional dynamics, especially with the contestants' backstories, including Escassi’s previous departure and the pressures of reality TV. Will he make it through unscathed this time? Only time will tell as the countdown begins for March 6.
Audiences will surely keep their fingers crossed for him, especially considering the previous mishaps and the infamous twists of reality television where alliances can quickly shift and unexpected challenges arise.
