¿Por qué Mariana Ochoa cree que usan oxígeno en La Casa de los Famosos?

In an interview with Exa FM, the singer explained that she has a theory about how she and her fellow contestants on La Casa de los Famosos México 2026 were able to stay awake until the early hours of the morning.

Ochoa said she suspects the production uses oxygen inside the house, as she asserted that she is not a night person.

"I haven't asked the production about this, but I have the idea that they pump oxygen inside the House, because of the fact that we were awake until four in the morning. I'm not a night person. For starters, you have to connect to the galas every day from 10 p.m. to midnight, and after that, there are activities; the challenges start," she explained.

Mariana Ochoa added that inside La Casa de los Famosos she didn't feel sleepy during the early morning hours and linked this experience to a popular belief about Las Vegas casinos.

"But inside the house, you don't feel sleepy in the early morning. I felt like I was in Las Vegas, where they put, you know, oxygen in."

¿De dónde viene el mito del oxígeno en los casinos de Las Vegas?

Mariana Ochoa was referring to a popular myth that holds that Las Vegas casinos pump oxygen into their gaming floors to keep players alert and ensure they continue playing.

However, this belief has been debunked. According to Casino.org, increasing the oxygen level in a typical Las Vegas casino by even one percent would be a considerable expense. Furthermore, increasing the oxygen concentration could pose a fire hazard.

¿Qué opinan las redes sobre la teoría de Mariana Ochoa?

On social media, users were divided between those who believed Mariana Ochoa's oxygen theory was possible and those who attributed the housemates' lack of sleep to factors such as the lights, the change in routine, and the adrenaline from the games and challenges.

Some users even pointed out that increasing the oxygen level inside the house would be risky and they did not believe the production would expose the housemates to a situation of that kind.

These are some of the highlighted comments:

• “Pues no suena descabellado, tienen que hacer que estén despiertos para que den contenido a todas horas”.
• “No creo oxígeno es muy difícil conseguirlo, es muy caro”.
• “jaja ora que oxígeno xD es por las luces y el cambio de ambiente”.
• “Es que pierden la noción del tiempo, se levantan tarde y cambia su reloj biológico, justo estoy pasando por ese cambio duermo durante el día, horrible”.
• “No creo que expongan a los famosos a que les pase algo poniendo oxígeno adicional... yo creo más bien que es el cambio de rutina, la adrenalina, la emoción y expectativa del reto en general”.
