Facts from the source article.

2nd season (2020)

The second season premiered on March 1 and last aired on July 5, 2020, with filming in Pilar, Buenos Aires. In one episode, no Starbaker was awarded because no contestant passed both challenges. A special episode featured a repechage for the eight eliminated contestants, with only three returning to the tent. Carolina automatically returned after being chosen by the contestants as the best in the technical challenge, while Leandro was automatically eliminated for the worst performance. From that episode onward, there was no second Starbaker. In another episode, seven of nine contestants tied for last place in the technical challenge. Starting with that episode, three challenges were held: two creative and one technical. In one episode, contestants began cooking with a ten-minute difference in the technical challenge because the chocolate volcano eats hot. No one was eliminated in that episode, and there was no enumeration in the technical challenge. Gaston Salas, the first-season winner, served as the fourth judge for the second creative challenge. The judge was in charge of the challenges. Samanta was declared the winner but was dethroned in July 2020 because she was supposedly a professional baker.
