Makoke Faces Challenges In Supervivientes 2025

Despite tensions and confrontations, Makoke triumphs in apnea test and defends her journey.

In the latest developments from the reality show 'Supervivientes 2025', participant Makoke, aged 55, has faced a tumultuous journey filled with challenges and confrontations. Despite her long-standing dream of participating in the show, she has struggled to gain the support of her fellow contestants, particularly with Laura Cuevas and Joshua Velázquez, leading to some notably tense moments.

Initially expelled by the audience, Makoke was later moved to 'Playa Misterio', where she experienced a much more peaceful coexistence. This change allowed her to return as a full contestant in 'Playa Furia', where she now shares space with Pelayo Díaz, Manuel González, Damián Quintero, Montoya, and Carmen Alcayde. Amidst the chaos, her daughter, Anita Matamoros, has stepped up to defend her mother, rallying support from fans to ensure Makoke's continued presence on the show.

On Thursday, April 24, 2025, the program introduced a twist in the nomination process, which saw Damián Quintero nominating Koldo while Anita Williams nominated Makoke. This led to Anita using her social media platforms to urge her followers to save her mother from elimination, emphasizing that she does not want Makoke's adventure to end prematurely. In her posts, Anita vehemently denied claims that her mother had betrayed Anita Williams, stating, "'Makoke sold out Anita': excuse me? Makoke told Anita she would take care of Montoya. Carmen and Montoya laugh at Makoke. Makoke ignores them, and they get angry. Is that selling out Anita? I ask."

As the competition heats up, it appears that Joshua, Koldo, Manuel, and Makoke are at risk of being eliminated in the coming days. Tensions escalated further when Makoke had a heated confrontation with Carmen Alcayde, who accused her of nominating her. In a moment of reflection, Makoke explained her decision to nominate Carmen, saying, "I see that there are two distinct groups, and I feel much more welcomed by Damián and Pelayo. Of course, I’m not going to count Manuel." She expressed her belief that her nomination was justified given the dynamics at play.

In a dramatic exchange, Carmen responded to Makoke's comments, saying, "But what are you saying, Makoke? That’s what you and Pelayo say because you’re friends." This back-and-forth highlighted the ongoing rivalries within the group, as Makoke continued to assert her stance regarding Carmen's behavior during the competition.

Meanwhile, the contestants participated in the classic apnea test during the gala held on Sunday, April 27, 2025. Hosted by Laura Madrueño, the test required contestants to hold their breath underwater for as long as possible, testing both their breathing and endurance. The event took place in the calm waters of Honduras, offering a favorable environment for the contestants.

The first contestant eliminated from 'Playa Calma' was Álvaro Escassi, followed by Nieves Bolós and Borja González. Álex Adrover emerged victorious in this group with an impressive time of 3 minutes and 21 seconds, securing his spot in the final of the 'Liga de los Dioses'.

In 'Playa Furia', Pelayo was the first to be eliminated, and shortly thereafter, Damián Quintero also exited the water. Manuel missed out on victory, leaving Montoya and Makoke still submerged. After a tense and suspenseful duration, Makoke managed to outlast everyone in her group, claiming victory in the test and earning a direct pass to the final.

Overjoyed by her win, Makoke dedicated her achievement to her grandson and father, looking skyward and blowing a kiss in their honor. Her victory not only marks a significant moment in her journey but also serves as a testament to her resilience amidst the challenges she has faced in the competition.

As the competition continues, fans are left wondering how the dynamics will shift in the coming days, especially with the ongoing rivalries and alliances forming among the contestants. With the audience's support playing a crucial role in determining who stays and who goes, the stakes are higher than ever in 'Supervivientes 2025'.
