The eleventh season of the Argentine version of the television reality show Gran Hermano was announced on 26 March 2023, by Telefe. It is the second continuous season to air on Telefe after previously airing on América TV in 2016, as the show made its return to the original network Telefe in 2022.
Santiago del Moro continues as the show's host. The show follows a group of contestants (known as HouseGuests), who live in a house together while being constantly filmed and having no communication with the outside world as they compete to win a grand prize. Each week, the HouseGuests compete in a Head of Household (HoH) competition which gives them immunity from nominations and the power to save one of the nominees up for eviction. On eviction night, the audience votes to evict one of the nominees.
The season premiered on 11 December 2023, and ran for 210 days, with the season ending on 7 July 2024, becoming the longest edition to date.
Bautista Mascia was crowned the winner of the season, with Emmanuel Vich finishing as runner-up and Nicolás Grosman in third place.
On 3 July 2024, Gran Hermano was renewed by Telefe for a twelfth season.
Format The show follows a group of contestants, known as HouseGuests, who live inside a custom-built house outfitted with cameras and microphones recording their every move 24 hours a day. The HouseGuests are sequestered with no contact with the outside world. During their stay, the HouseGuests share their thoughts on their day-to-day lives inside the house in a private room known as the Diary Room. Each week, the HouseGuests compete in competitions to win power and safety inside the house. At the start of each week, the HouseGuests compete in a Head of Household (abbreviated as "HOH") competition. The winner of the HoH competition is immune from eviction and selects another HouseGuest to be saved for eviction. On eviction night, the audience vote to evict one of the nominees, and the nominee with the most votes is evicted from the house.

The Final Vote
From week 2 onwards, the Final Vote (voto final in Spanish) was enabled by Gran Hermano, which gives the last evicted HouseGuest the power to nominate another HouseGuest with two points.
Red Phone During Week 5, Gran Hermano installed a red phone in the house. Whoever answered the phone would receive positive or negative information. The HouseGuests must answer the phone without being able to repeat it during the day and if the phone is not answered before five rings the whole house would be punished.

Positive nominations In Week 7, it was announced that all HouseGuests were nominated for eviction, with HouseGuests voting on who they wanted to save rather than face eviction. The three HouseGuests who would receive the most votes would be saved along with the Head of Household.
Repechage During Week 12, all HouseGuests who were previously evicted from the house participated in a repechage, with only three returning to the house. As Carla walked from the house she was the only ineligible to participate. On Day 77, it was announced that Catalina, Isabel and Joel were voted by the public to return.
Relatives In Week 23, family and friends from the remaining nine HouseGuests moved into the house to participate for a prize. During that week, all HouseGuests and their relatives nominated, with only the HouseGuests's relatives being eligible to be nominated. The relative who received the fewest votes to save on eviction night, would be evicted, along with the HouseGuest they represented. In Week 24, the public voted for their favorite relative, with two of them being evicted on Day 164 and another two on Day 168. On two occasions relatives were evicted via twist, with one being evicted due to an envelope that was delivered by evictee Catalina, and another one being evicted by the Head of Household.
HouseGuests A total of 20 HouseGuests moved into the house on Day 1 (11 December 2023), while the last two moved into on Day 2 (12 December 2023). A new HouseGuest, Virginia Demo, entered the house on Day 39 (18 January 2024). Former evicted HouseGuests Catalina Gorostidi, Isabel Denegri and Joel Ojeda returned to the house on Day 77 (25 February 2024). Another five new HouseGuests (Damián Moya, Darío Martínez, Florencia Regidor, Mauro D'Alessio and Paloma Méndez) entered the house on Day 85 (4 March 2024), in addition to the returns of former evicted HouseGuests Sabrina Cortez and Denisse González. On Day 121 (9 April 2024), it was announced that former season 10 HouseGuest Constanza Romero would enter the house as a replacement via the Golden Ticket.

Voting history
HouseGuests nominate for two and one points, shown in descending order in the nomination box. The four or more HouseGuests with the most nomination points face the public vote.
HouseGuests can also use the Diary Room's Special Nomination, which gives three and two points instead. From week 2 onwards, the Final Vote (voto final in Spanish) was enabled by Gran Hermano, which gives the last evicted HouseGuest the power to nominate another HouseGuest with two points.
Starting in Week 14, the Power Nomination (fulminante in Spanish) was enabled by Gran Hermano, which consists of the automatic nomination of a HouseGuest, without the ability to be saved by the Head of Household. It could only be used once by each HouseGuest throughout those weeks. HouseGuests that use the Power Nomination are marked in bold.
