Viewers of La Granja VIP can now cast their votes to determine who receives the title of El Más Gallito for Week 8. This decision grants the selected contestant specific privileges that change based on the show’s current dynamics. The voting window opened to allow the audience to select the participant who delivered the most compelling commentary during the recent Assembly.

The prize for this weekly title varies. In previous weeks, winners have received visits from family members or strategic advantages within the house. For example, Rafael Mercadante won twice in the second season. The first time, his mother visited him. The second time, his girlfriend arrived. These personal visits often serve as emotional rewards for the contestants.

Other winners have gained tactical edges. Manelyk received help from Adal Ramones and Kristal Silva to locate special horseshoes. Niurka won twice as well. Her first reward was a visit from her boyfriend. Her second reward included visits from her children, Romina and Kiko, and a chance to play the Juego del Capataz. Ivonne Montero also won the title, which allowed her to video call her daughter, Antonella. Montero cried during that private moment.

The title is awarded based on performance in the Assembly, a segment where contestants discuss and debate their fellow housemates. The audience judges who makes the strongest or most entertaining points. The winner is announced at the end of the broadcast. The prize is determined by the show’s producers before the voting begins, so contestants do not know exactly what they are aiming for until the result is revealed.

The voting process allows fans to influence the immediate trajectory of the season. By choosing a favorite, the public dictates who gets a break or a power boost. This mechanism keeps the audience engaged between the main events of the show. The decision is final once the voting period closes and the gala airs.
