La Casa de Alofoke is a month-long reality show that streams live, around the clock, on YouTube. Ten social-media creators live together, face daily tasks, and survive weekly cuts. The show is created by Santiago Matías, known as Alofoke, and produced by Alofoke Media Group. It runs entirely online, not on traditional TV, which is a key reason it spread fast across Latin America. Streams Charts calls it a “digital streaming juggernaut,” noting the 24/7 format and broad reach.

Key dates and where to watch

The project launched in mid-August 2025 on the Alofoke Radio Show YouTube channel. Local media promoted an August 11 debut in the Dominican Republic, while industry tracking highlights streams ramping from August 12 as the live feed took off. Both point to a mid-August start, which matches how the stream and daily recap shows rolled out. Watch on the Alofokeradioshow YouTube channel.

Prime time runs 9 to 11 p.m. local time in Santo Domingo, but cameras roll 24 hours. That mix, a nightly “show within the stream” plus nonstop access, is part of the appeal, as entertainment outlets covering the series explain.

The prize and the rules

The winner takes RD$1,000,000 (about USD 16,000) and a new Mercedes-Benz SUV. Fans are not just watching, they are voting. Viewers send YouTube Super Chats with a contestant’s name. Those paid messages count as votes and fuel the show’s economy. Dominican and regional outlets confirm both the prize and the Super Chat mechanic as the core of the format.

Who’s in the house?

The cast blends well-known influencers and rising creators from several countries. Names highlighted by entertainment reporting include Andrea “La Peki PR” Victoria Ojeda, Giuseppe “El Principito” Benignini, Darileidy “Crusita” Concepción, Angélica “La Gigi” Núñez, Sr. Jiménez, Cuban host Vladimir Gómez, and Colombian podcaster Karola Cendra. Local press also lists Crazy Design and Luise Martínez among the 10. This spread of styles and accents keeps conflict, comedy, and alliances in motion.

The numbers so far

Audience spikes arrive during late-evening segments, but the stream holds large daytime crowds too. According to Streams Charts, the channel surpassed 55 million hours watched in August, with a peak of about 1.3 million concurrent viewers in the first week. Hola’s coverage described a “fight night” that drove that peak, showing how live-event beats inside a 24/7 stream can punch above typical TV ratings.

Today’s status

As of September 10, 2025 (Asia/Kolkata), the first season is at the finish line. Local coverage this week framed a tight race among fan blocs, especially Team Crusita and Team Gigi, with endgame pushes happening in the chat. Expect a finale window around day 30, based on the launch timing and daily “Día” streams.

How the format works

Always on. There are no “episodes.” The house feed is continuous for 30 days. Short “prime time” blocks summarize the day and set up eliminations.

Fan-driven voting. Super Chats double as donations and votes. Bigger support can translate to safety, more camera time, and leverage in house politics.

Daily challenges. Tasks, guests, musical moments, and themed events keep the stream dynamic. Producers inject beats, but the best scenes are unplanned.

Monetization in the open. Because votes are paid messages, the financial layer is visible. That transparency changes how viewers attach to players.

What happened this season

Fast start. The first nights delivered record live viewership for a Dominican stream. Data analysts placed the channel at the top of YouTube Live for August.
Cast chemistry. Culture clashes, flirtations, and comedy bits went viral. A boxing-style “fight night” segment drew the season’s biggest peak.
Late-season surge. As eliminations neared, fan campaigns intensified. Leaderboards and “teams” formed around favorites.

Why it matters

La Casa de Alofoke shows what happens when reality TV goes fully native to the internet. The stream strips out TV scheduling, puts revenue and voting in the same tap, and lets viewers act as a live audience, a street team, and a finance arm. For creators and platforms, it points to a model where interaction and monetization are not side features, they are the game.

What to watch next

Finale timing. Expect a winner as the day-30 window closes.
Post-show spinoffs. Given the metrics, expect reunion streams, cast tours, or brand tie-ins.
Copycats. Other creators will test 24/7 formats with fan-funded votes.
Policy questions. Super Chats as votes raise fairness and moderation issues that platforms may need to address.
