Juan Ignacio “Nacho” Castañares was the first participant to enter the house of Big Brother (Telefe) and over the months has become one of the most beloved players, inside and outside the most famous house.
Here, a roundup of the 19-year-old’s most remembered moments reflecting his long journey to become one of this edition’s grand finalists, alongside Marco Ginocchio AND Juliet Poggio.
1. One of the members of “Los Little Monkeys”
Early in the edition, Nacho became close friends with Tomás Holder, Martina Usher Stewart and Juan Reverdito, and they formed the group Los Monitos.
Between them four have planned strategies to destabilize the rest of their comrades and because of this they became the bad guys. Though the members, including Nachito, believed they entertained fans of the program afterward in elimination galas it became clear that this was not the case.
The first to leave the house was Holder, followed by Martina, and a few weeks later it was Reverdito’s turn. The only one who has been able to readjust to the house and always emerge victorious, right up to the end, was Nacho.
2. His love affair with “La Tora”
At first the participant was linked to Martina and, in fact, both had a very good feeling. But the attendee made it clear at the time that he wasn’t going to be with anyone and that I would not have sex in the house.
Once “Los Little Monkeys” left home, Nacho integrated very well with the rest of his classmates and earned the affections of María Laura, Mora and Lucila “La Tora”. In fact, shortly after he began a love relationship with La Tora. She returned home in the repechage and definitively joined Nacho. And together they put together a very powerful duo, and also an important containment alliance, for most of the game.
Nacho kept his word and was not intimate with his partner inside the house. Once, the voice of Big Brother asked for the couple’s consent, but it was a joke, since both participants were under the covers, but dressed.
3. Nachiago: his ship with Thiago
Nacho, entering the most famous house in the country, said he grew up with two fathers: the biological one, Rodolfo, and Jesús, who was his father’s companion for several years of his childhood. As a result of this life story, the young man grew up in an environment of diversity and acceptance which prompted many internet users to talk or speculate about his sexuality.
And even more so when Nachito approached Thiago, the young cartoonist from La Matanza with whom many tied him or fantasized as a possible love story. Thus it was that social networks began to talk about nachiago shipping.
When not much was known about the history of the participants, the images of them together attracted the attention of many. And this version grew when on New Year’s Eve Nacho grabbed Thiago and kissed him on the mouth.
However, one of the first to clarify that it was a friendship was Rodolfo, Nacho’s father, who assured that his son had no interest in Thiago, but that They had a good bond of friendship.
A few days ago, Mora, who joined Martina and Holder in campaigning for the finalists, told Nacho that “#Nachiago” had been very popular outside. And the young man’s reaction was surprise: “Really? I’m dying, it makes me tender.”
4. The income of his two parents
Nacho was born in 2002 and in 2004 his parents separated. It was then that Rodo, his father, decided to emigrate from the country and went to live in Spain. Although the boy remained to live in Argentina with his mother, he never stopped seeing his father, who soon became a partner of Jesús, a businessman from Madrid.
from the age of five, Nachito began traveling alone in Spain and she spent three to four months a year with Rodolfo and her then husband, of whom Nacho had grown very fond of.
“It was a new world for me and I didn’t want to hurt Nacho, we are talking about the 2000s, they were different times… And the psychologist told me that if I gave my son love everything would flow naturally and so we did. . I had two options: keep it a secret all my life from my son, who wouldn’t love him, or tell him the truth in the most natural way possible. AS We were able to raise Nacho fearlessly and with love,” Rodo recounted how he brought out his homosexuality with his son.
Rodolfo’s entry into the house was a balm of joy for Nacho, who was able to embrace him and express all his emotions after several months of confinement when he found himself again.
Then came the visit of Jesús, Nacho’s “second father”, who traveled specially from Miami to visit him with the participant’s grandmother. Reuniting with Muá (as Nacho calls his father’s former partner) was very emotional. and the participant was very grateful to have experienced GH with whom he considers his two parents.
5. He got the license plate record
Total, Nacho has been nominated 10 times since the reality show started and one of those occasions was saved by Maxi Giudici, who left Thiago on the plate, causing the young man from La Matanza to end up out of contention.
When he had already passed the seventh table, Castañares has become the reality record holder. Santiago del Moro announced at one of the galas that it was a world record. “Nacho is the one who has passed the most plaques in all editions of Big Brother of the world”the driver assured.
