Controversy and criticism


The show has caused controversy due to the limits crossed by its protagonists, shown with little censorship.
The Veracruz newspaper wrote a story about the program. “Leaving aside the type of values that the reality show transmits, what ends up being a problem for the cities where it is recorded is its reputation.” “Although, at first they see it as an opportunity to promote themselves, the reality is that Jersey, Geordie and Gandía have become preferred destinations for tourism focused on unbridled partying, which causes their traditional tourists to flee the chaos of the young coasts.”
The reality of the program and the naturalness of the cast has been questioned, this after several participants admitted on different occasions to simulating situations to generate content.
On June 2, 2020, after the premiere of the seventh season, a large number of criticisms and complaints began (both to the program and to MTV Latin America) through social networks, all this after Dania Méndez was attacked by Luis Méndez. On June 5, 2020, MTV Spain aired the edition of the chapter and removed this scene, since the violent and explicit content is far from the editorial line of the channel. On June 8, after the broadcast of the second episode of the seventh season, criticism continues now for censorship. MTV Latin America decides to cut an altercation between Dania Méndez and Ignacia Michelson, in which the male participants again intervene against a woman. Part of the censored scene could be seen at the end of the first episode as a trailer for “Next Week”. On July 21, during the eighth episode of the seventh season, after a heated argument, Dania Méndez threw a glass and a bottle at Manelyk González, an action that was considered dangerous by both the production and the housemates. The audience's reactions were divided in favor and against.
After what happened, since the eighth season the production has had a security team to avoid physical altercations. However, it is from the tenth edition that these scenes of violence are mostly censored, this due to Paramount's policies. In addition, the censorship since the tenth season has been harshly questioned by the public.




Reception


The program has been MTV Latin America greatest continuous success. It has also served to promote destinations and tourist clubs in Northern Mexico.
The seventh season has a viewership rating of an average of 7,000,000,000 minutes watched. While the episode aired on July 21, 2020 (Season 7, Episode 8) is currently the episode with the most views.
Despite being Viacom International's most watched program, audience ratings have never been published during the seasons' broadcasts.
