La casa de los famosos sin censura (English: The Celebrity House Uncensored) is the companion program of the series where events of the game are discussed and former houseguests are interviewed. During the first two seasons, the program aired weekday mornings and was hosted by Jorge Bernal and Verónica Bastos.[18] For the show's third season, Sin censura was moved to a segment of Hoy Día, with Bernal not returning as host.[19] [20]
Each season revolves around a group of celebrities living in a house together with no communication with the outside world as they compete for a $200,000 prize. They are constantly filmed during their time in the house and are not permitted to communicate with those filming them. Every week, viewers are able to vote on which participant to evict via the show's main website.[21] Viewers can view inside the house at any time with the live feeds.[22]
