Alex Ghita became the third contestant eliminated from the Telemundo reality series Juego de Villanos. The Spanish participant left the competition following a strategic maneuver executed by fellow housemate Sergio Mayer. The departure occurred on the episode aired this week, shifting the power dynamics within the villa.

Lis Vega originated the nomination plan, which Mayer executed to remove Ghita without directly incriminating himself. Mayer sent Alex Caniggia to win the physical immunity challenge. This victory stripped Ghita of protection and set the stage for his eviction. Prior to this move, Plutarco Haza had transferred a double power to Mayer, which the Mexican contestant used to solidify his position.

Online analysts observed that Ghita failed to build a strong enough game to survive. Social media comments noted that Ghita frequently lied to Mayer, underestimating the Mexican's influence. The Spanish contestant had also been involved in the removals of Sandra Itzel and Yina Calderon, actions that weakened the team led by Aleska Genesis. Calderon had previously been the second person eliminated from the show.

After leaving the competition, Ghita took to social media to respond to the outcome. He directed his comments at Aleska Genesis, a move that drew criticism from followers who felt he was seeking attention. Telemundo reported that the participants were not surprised by Ghita's departure from the villa.

The show is the first Spanish adaptation of House of Villains, produced by Banijay Colombia for Telemundo. Facundo hosts the program, which airs Monday through Friday and on Sundays at 7 p.m. ET. Episodes are available on Peacock the following day. The competition offers a prize of $200,000 in cash and the title of Emperador Villano.

With three contestants eliminated, the remaining housemates are realigning their alliances. Mayer continues to operate as a central strategic figure. The elimination of Ghita leaves the villa with a reduced group of personalities competing for the final title.
