Rafael Soriano is again part of Team Contendientes.
The expulsion of Denisse Novoa and Frank Beltre and the temporary suspension of six other athletes from the fifth season of Exatlon USA, was an unprecedented event that marked a before and an after in five installments of the Telemundo competition program.
The reason behind these sudden decisions of Exatlon production in the United States is due to an error committed by athletes, namely a breach of contract, which forced them to take action, according to Telemundo:
“In order to maintain the integrity of the competition, there are strict rules and guidelines that must be followed by all participants in Exatlon USA. Some athletes have broken these rules and are reprimanded. Our highest priority is to encourage a safe and equitable competitive environment for all participants and to ensure that anyone who violates the rules and regulations of the program is reprimanded. “
This statement was read by the presenter of the competition, Frederik Oldenburg, on April 11, during a duel for permanence. Immediately after they continued to be measured in circuits and the issue of suspension and expulsion passed into the background. That’s until Denisse Novoa and Frank Beltre decided to talk on their social networks.
There was silence and ambiguity in both. Denisse Novoa, for her part, said that “everything happened for a reason” and limited herself to not explaining the reasons for her expulsion. On the other hand, Frank Beltre was going to do a live session, but then he assured that he will not do it, because there is “a great possibility to return to the competition”. All this, at the same time, the followers of Exatlon United States demanded the return of the emblematic athletes to the arenas of the Dominican Republic, where they left the unequivocal proof of their sporting spirit.
Since then, the language of both has changed radically, which has generated all sorts of comments, because since the beginning of the season, it is known that the number of audiences in Exatlon USA was not the best and the question appeared on social networks, at Yes, the whole history of the expulsion and sanction of athletes, was it a deliberate strategy to get a rating?
JacoJRx2’s Youtube profile, which specializes in telling all kinds of information about the competition, posted a video that touches on this topic:
In this video, they explain in more detail the reasons that led followers to believe that it could have been a move to increase the program’s audience, but they also make it clear that this strategy would be wrong because it would be left in a very bad position the production of the competition and even Telemundo, the television channel where it is broadcast.
Until now, the veracity of Frank Beltre’s comments is not known and whether the return of both athletes will actually take place. All you have to do is wait for the days to pass inside the competition and continue to enjoy the drama, excitement and adrenaline that Exatlon United States brings.
