Myrka Dellanos is no longer part of “La Mesa Caliente“. Telemundo confirmed the news the same day that the rumor broke on digital platforms. A day later, the program welcomed Cristina Porta as a panelist, and speculation once again soared.

For now, we understand that the winner of "Top Chef VIP 4" is set to host the show as a guest. It's a shrewd move on the network's part. After Myrka's departure, with Cristina there, they're making sure that both fans and detractors of the Spaniard are waiting to see whether her arrival on the show will be permanent or temporary.

Comments about Dellanos' departure have been swift. Some believe it's all due to the Cuban's political comments, while others believe she wasn't the right person to leave, considering her profile and experience in the news world.

Be that as it may, the decision has been made and the changes have already been made. Now it only remains to be seen whether the program will continue to add a seat full of guest hosts to "La Mesa Caliente" or if next year, someone like Cristina Porta could take that spot.

Remember that Porta, in addition to being an expert on reality shows, is also a journalist and also has the skills to communicate within the program.
