The Cuban Bryan, known as El Vaquero, broke his silence following his surprising departure from El Rancho de Destino. The contestant was expelled from the reality show alongside the Dominican Atuedad, after both faced off again in a heated confrontation, the second in which they nearly came to blows. The incident triggered one of the most tense and controversial weeks in the program's history.
In several videos shared after his removal, El Vaquero appeared calm, although visibly disappointed by how things unfolded. “Beyond feeling let down by the exit, I feel let down by some on the inside,” he said. “I know the support you were giving me and how difficult it is to earn money in this country. Seeing how you were giving points for me really moved me a lot.”
Bryan also reflected on the friendships formed during the competition and took the opportunity to thank those who genuinely supported him. “Another thing I take away is that the people I considered real were not as much. The only real person in there is Gino Montalvo —Oyacito—. He always spoke honestly to me, both inside and outside the game. If anyone deserves to win, it’s him,” he stated.
Social media was flooded with messages of support for the Cuban, with hundreds of followers describing his departure as "a great injustice." Many highlighted his authenticity and the loyalty he showed throughout the competition. "The ranch isn't the same without you," "You were the soul of the show," and "Gino defended you until the end," were some of the most frequently repeated comments.
"I had a moment of emotional imbalance; I just needed to think about how to move forward, but God knows what He’s doing," concluded El Vaquero, making it clear that his story does not end here. With his charisma and openness, the Cuban earned the affection of the audience, who are already calling for his return to the reality show or, at the very least, to see him shine outside the ranch.
