Gran Hermano (Argentine TV series) season 13

The thirteenth season of the Argentine version of the television reality show Gran Hermano, subtitled as Gran Hermano: Golden Generation (Generación Dorada in Spanish), was announced on 22 June 2025 by Telefe, with Santiago del Moro continuing as the show's host.^[1][2]

The show follows a group of contestants (known as HouseGuests), who live in a house together while being constantly filmed and having no communication with the outside world as they compete to win a grand prize. Each week, the HouseGuests compete in a Head of Household (HoH) competition which gives them immunity from nominations and the power to save one of the nominees up for eviction. On eviction night, the audience votes to evict one of the nominees.^[3]

The season premiered on 23 February 2026 on Telefe. This season features a mix of celebrities, former HouseGuests and new contestants and marks the 25th anniversary from the show's premiere back in 2001.^[1]

The show follows a group of contestants, known as HouseGuests, who live inside a custom-built house outfitted with cameras and microphones recording their every move 24 hours a day.^[4] The HouseGuests are sequestered with no contact with the outside world. During their stay, the HouseGuests share their thoughts on their day-to-day lives inside the house in a private room known as the Diary Room. Each week, the HouseGuests compete in competitions to win power and safety inside the house. At the start of each week, the HouseGuests compete in a Head of Household (abbreviated as "HOH") competition. The winner of the HoH competition is immune from eviction and selects another HouseGuest to be saved for eviction. On eviction night, the audience vote to evict one of the nominees, and the nominee with the most votes is evicted from the house.^[3]

Across the season, some of the nomination rounds would take place to eliminate those HouseGuests that the public considers are not "playing the game".^[2]

This season, evicted Houseguests are given the power to give one HouseGuest three votes to use during nominations. The person who received this power will nominate with three, two and one points instead of the usual two and one points.^[2]

Just like last season, the HouseGuest that wins the HoH competition, gets series of Super Powers to use during the week.

A total of 18 HouseGuests moved into the house on Day 1 (23 February 2026).^[5] An additional 10 new HouseGuests moved into the house on Day 2 (24 February 2026).^[6] After Daniela de Lucía and Divina Gloria had to leave the house on Day 3, on Day 7 (1 March 2026) Daniela re-entered the house and Carla Bigliani entered to replace Divina.^[7] Due to the ejection of Carmiña on Day 17 (11 March 2026), another new HouseGuest (Jessica Maciel) entered the house on Day 21 (15 March 2026) to replace the former.^[8]

Four of the HouseGuests previously participated in other editions of the show: Eduardo Carrera was a HouseGuest during season 3, Emanuel Di Gioia and Solange Abraham during season 6, and Jennifer Torres finished in third place on season 1 of Gran Hermano Chile.^[5]

HouseGuests nominate for two and one points, shown in descending order in the nomination box. The four or more HouseGuests with the most nomination points face the public vote.

HouseGuests can also use the Diary Room's Special Nomination, which gives three and two points instead.

Starting in Week 2, the last evicted HouseGuest is given the power to give another one three votes to use during nominations. The person who received this power will nominate with three, two and one points instead of the usual two and one points.

Starting in Week 2, The Power Nomination (fulminante in Spanish) was also enabled by Gran Hermano, which consists of the automatic nomination of a HouseGuest, without the ability to be saved by the Head of Household. It could only be used once by each HouseGuest throughout those weeks. HouseGuests that use the Power Nomination are marked in bold.
