Patricia Donoso she was the first to do so, just 24 hours after jumping from the helicopter. They were trying to convince her to stay until Thursday when, finally, jorge xavier vazquezAfter trying to convince her once again to stay, he kicked her out of the contest and left the palapa for the last time.
But it was not the only one. This Thursday, a new competitor activated the protocol. “I decide to go home. At home in Madrid,” he said. Katerina Safarova to the presenter. And he did it with a smile on his face.
“First, I think I’m not well physically because I’ve been bitten a lot by mosquitoes and sand fleas, we sleep on the floor, and I have more and more bites, that I have full legs. And yesterday I started to feel bad and I said, so far. Mentally I don’t feel so good either, I don’t feel comfortable“, he explained to Jorge Javier about his condition.
The words of Jorge Xavier
He assured that he did not see her as borderline and that coming from Russia and having done rhythmic gymnastics, she was so used to the discipline that she was going to go far.
“When I arrive at the meeting today and they tell me that Katerina wants to leave, my balls are falling to the ground. You can understand that your decision, which comes a week later, causes a lot of headaches for an organization that has to change a lot of things. You still have everything to do in the contest and, if you allow me a single idea to survive, Just think about the day you wake up, not tomorrow Because as your head goes towards what remains of the contest, it will betray you, ”he advised.
Vasily, his father, came on the phone to encourage him. She started by saying she would respect his decision and asked the fighter she knew for a specific reason. “What are we going to tell your children, the fleas that bit you? No, my love, you can’t imagine what’s going on here, I want you to know. Your sister is coming tomorrow. Today, we were invited to a television show to talk about you, because we talk a lot about you,” her father told her, who wanted to show her that there were a lot of people mobilized by her.
“I don’t look. I wake up and I open my eyes and I think I want to die before I continue to live here“, she tried to explain. His father assured him that it had happened to him at one point and that he then felt proud that he had managed to move on. He reminded her that they never give up.
Final decision
Finally, after listening to her father, she made a decision:I will give myself a week. I’ll see how I feel in a week.” Jorge Javier asked her to forget about the past week and start the contest again. But Katerina wasn’t convinced to come back, she didn’t want to become the new Patricia Donoso with his indecision.
“Just thinking about walking on that beach again gives me a panic attack I can’t even breathe“, she assured. But she came back to the palapa where we saw her with more force.
“I still see myself capable of facing problems, of continuing this experience and I think that it was not yet time for me to leave Survivors“, he finally declared. And after getting her to salute like a gymnast, Jorge Javier informed her that she was immune and was heading to No Man’s Land. And far from collapsing, he celebrated it.
We will see if there is a third party to activate the abandonment protocol. It is clear that they are struggling to adapt.
