What was your favorite moment from Survivors 2025? do you think Borja Gonzรกlez deserved to win?
Josรฉ Marรญa Almoguera has decided to break his silence on television to speak in It’s Friday! about the delicate relationship he has with his mother, Carmen Borrego. The collaborator’s eldest son has been honest about the current situation between them and about the origin of their estrangement. “I miss my mother from when I was twenty, 24, 26… I can’t miss this last mother I had, because they weren’t good things,” he confessed. During his appearance, Josรฉ Marรญa honestly clarified that he feels humiliated and doesn’t believe there is a possibility of a reconciliation with his mother. “They’ve called me a bad person,” he explained. At this moment, the discomfort that separates them seems insurmountable, and he is clear about it: “Not right now.”

After months of estrangement, Carmen’s current role in his life is unrecognizable to him. Almoguera explained that the recent disagreements made any rapprochement impossible: “It’s not comfortable.” He also admitted that working together on the program ‘Asรญ es la vida’ was uncomfortable for both of them, “I ran into her, but I avoided her,” he admitted. Although his mother has tried to get closer on several occasions, he confessed that he prefers not to respond rather than have a confrontation: “Depending on the type of message, I answer or not.”

During the interview, Josรฉ Marรญa was also very critical of certain aspects of his mother’s professional life. Although he acknowledged that Carmen was always a “wonderful” mother, he also expressed his pain at what he perceives as humiliations that she has allowed on television: “A slap in the face after surgery, I wouldn’t have put up with it but it happened. Certain things that aren’t fair, in your workplace they are humiliating you. They are humiliating you, I don’t think it’s right that she allowed it. Whether she enters the game depends, if it’s fun, but there are others who go over the line.” “That’s the moment when the character wins and eats the mother,” he commented, alluding to how Borrego’s public figure has eclipsed the personal and family relationship they shared. “She’s my mother, I will always recognize her, but I don’t like the path she’s taking,” he admitted. “I would not allow certain types of humiliation and harassment, with regard to his career… that has clouded my life, seeing certain false forms of respect that go unpunished and that nobody does anything about,” explained Josรฉ Marรญa.

Despite his mother’s efforts to reconnect, especially at times like the tribute to his grandmother, Marรญa Teresa Campos, the relationship has not improved. Josรฉ Marรญa recalled one of the most delicate moments: the anniversary of the death of the matriarch. During the program ‘ยกDe viernes!’, he made a telephone intervention while his mother was on the set, but chose not to greet her publicly. “It was not the time to muddy things up,” he explained. Seeing how the situation affected Carmen, he decided to send her a private message to apologize. “On other occasions I prefer not to answer than to give a bad answer,” he confessed. However, this gesture was not enough to close these wounds that now seem insurmountable.
Josรฉ Marรญa Almoguera also addressed one of the main triggers of the conflict: the relationship between Carmen Borrego and his ex-wife, Paola Olmedo. As he explained, everything began to deteriorate when his mother made comments that were not well received by Paola, especially one that suggested that Josรฉ Marรญa should have gone to ‘Supervivientes’ to be able to buy a house. This comment was the beginning of a series of tensions that culminated in the final confrontation between mother and son.
Another reason why the relationship between mother and son worsened was the differences regarding her role as grandmother. Josรฉ Marรญa revealed that he had to insist that Carmen meet her grandson, since she initially did not want to due to media pressure. In response, Carmen said, hurt, “Don’t judge me as a grandmother, they don’t let me act as one.”

At the end of the show, Carmen Borrego could not hold back her tears and burst into tears. โI am leaving with the same pain that I came with,โ she confessed. Carmen, visibly affected, reflected on her sonโs need to see her and talk to her, lamenting how heartbreaking it is not to be able to understand each other. She admitted that when she returned from โSupervivientesโ, she found a reality that left her perplexed, while reaffirming her love for Josรฉ Marรญa: โI have never doubted that my son loved me. The damage is tremendous.โ
To start with, I would love for a newscast on any television channel to start like this one day: “Greetings and good afternoon. We begin our newscast with these images that show us the centre of the city of Madrid. There you have it: the citizens are strolling calmly through the centre of the city, with a smile on their faces and an optimistic tone. And… pay attention! Look how they are not fighting amongst themselves! To the right of your screens you can see how no one is brandishing a knife.” That’s what I said. I would like that. But I suspect that will never happen. We also live on illusions, although this was my first existential doubt.
Meanwhile, Telecinco’s nights have been left without a late-night show and are currently in intensive care. Who is keeping them alive? Well, it’s very easy. Neither celebrities nor renowned journalists, none of that. They are keeping them alive. anonymous people: the contestants of ‘Big Brother‘. Let me know when you see the image of a contestant reading a book. It will be for a ‘zapping’. Yes: anonymous people under the baton of Jorge Javier Vazquez and Ion Aramendia splendid discovery for television.
The second doubt is clear, because it is always very advantageous to give an opinion on accomplished facts, since in results-oriented readings you have the upper hand. But I wonder if it would have been a smartest maneuver send to the team of ‘Babylon Show’ to the ‘post-late’ slot, starting at 11 o’clock at night, instead of sending them to the lions with a knife in their mouth to fight Broncano and Motos. I’ll answer you: the answer is yes. Could it have been tried? Yes. And I won’t ask or answer other questions, because I don’t have any solution. The Babylonians would have been alone against no one or facing series from other channels that had already started, in the style of ‘Martian Chronicles’. Just to warn you that in this great television business there are good programs, but they are poorly programmed. Think about it.
I end with a phrase that he mentioned in the first program of the second season of “yourselves” (3Cat) a certain Jordi, grandmother Angeleta’s ‘nephew’: “We are a society that is not fair to grandparents. We should pay much more attention to them”. I stood up and applauded. We will find out when those of us who are not grandparents reach that wonderful status of grandparents.
The Babylon Show, by comedian Carlos Latre, ends its broadcast today on Telecinco, as confirmed by the official account of the television program on the social network X.
“Yes, today will be THE LAST SHOW of BabylonShow,” the official account of the program posted tonight, after the cancellation was announced as of tomorrow.
The cancellation of the programme comes after the premiere of ‘La Revuelta’, TVE’s bet on David Broncano, which last night was the most watched programme on television, after ‘El hormiguero’, by Pablo Motos.
Telecinco’s bet to compete in this time slot on television was Babylon Show, hosted by comedian, actor and impersonator Carlos Latre (Castellรณn de la Plana, 1979).
According to data from the Barlovento consultancy, the audience share for ‘La Revuelta’ and ‘El hormiguero’ exceeded 17 percent last night, while Latre’s programme remained at 4.4 percent.
Laura Madrueรฑo has a new project at Mediaset. After her participation in ‘Supervivientes’ in the last two editions, the meteorologist continues her love affair with reality shows by becoming the presenter of ‘GH รบltima hora’. In this way, the communicator adds a new path to her role within reality television.
With this change, Laura Madrueรฑo takes over Telecinco’s programming starting next September 16. Prime time access will be infected with the ‘Big Brother’ fever with the broadcast of summaries in prime time access on Mondays and Wednesdays. On the other hand, ‘GH Lรญmite 48h’ and the main gala will begin at 10:00 p.m. in their broadcasts on Tuesday and Thursday, respectively.
