Andorran content creator and entertainer Héctor Quintana, known as 'Morritos', has been selected as one of 12 contestants for the upcoming YouTube reality show *La Cárcel de los Gemelos*, set to launch on 15 March.
Quintana earned his spot after a strong performance in *La Isla del Pecado*, another YouTube production, where he finished second despite early struggles. He described the initial experience as challenging, with many participants judging him and questioning his fit. The trial episode lasted just five days, but public perception shifted in his favour, leading to widespread support for his energetic participation.
The success caught the attention of the producers behind *La Casa de los Gemelos*, a popular reality format. Shortly after exiting *La Isla del Pecado*, Quintana received a call from the team, who described him as a "monster" in the genre. He travelled to Madrid for a meeting and accepted their invitation to join the new spin-off, keeping quiet for a week and a half until the announcement on Sunday.
*La Cárcel de los Gemelos* promises an intense prison-themed competition, with the winner taking home €250,000. Contestants will share cells in pairs, face daily prison-like routines, complete challenges to earn food, have their heads shaved (for men), and wear orange jumpsuits. The show is expected to run until 5 April, though the contract allows for possible extensions, and producers anticipate daily viewership of around two million.
Quintana will compete alongside familiar faces including Fran de la Jungla, Aída Nízar, Ylenia Padilla, Dakota Tàrrega, and Labrador. The Andorran, whose career spans reality TV like *Mujeres y Hombres y Viceversa*, music, influencing, local politics, and even technical roles in national institutions, views the opportunity as a major test.
"I've faced criticism and haters, but they don't affect me anymore," he said. "I know my worth and what I can deliver, and I'm ready to prove it." Enthusiastic about returning to audiovisual content, Quintana embraces the spotlight, having grown accustomed to the controversy it brings.
