Chuy Almada
Jesús "Chuy" Almada is back thanks to the public who voted for him and is the only participant in the history of this competition that has a third chance.
In the first season he was a favorite, especially for his rivalry with Tommy Ramos, but he injured his ankle and had to leave the competition. In that season he had a second chance and returned, although he was not in his best physical form and said goodbye once again.
He decided to accept the invitation to return because he feels he can give much more. When he was injured it was his best moment in the competition and he feels he could be the "Mack" of the fourth season.
