Casting

For the VIP season, the contestants—primarily public figures—were announced during weekday broadcasts in the two weeks leading up to the program’s premiere. During these appearances, participants signed their contracts live on air before being formally introduced as part of the competition.

Format

The program is structured around a series of challenges that test participants’ abilities in singing, dancing, and acting. Contestants are divided into four teams, each identified by a name and color, and compete throughout the week to prevent one of their nominated members from entering the “danger zone,” where elimination from the competition becomes possible. During the VIP season, the format differs by featuring only the two most popular teams. This version places greater emphasis on the judges’ evaluations, particularly regarding participants’ dance performance and overall talent.
