Aldo was a polarizing character with the public: some celebrated his serious demeanor and his good-natured friendship with Manuel Bortuzzo, with the two of them bonding over the love for sports, while others criticized him for being boring, as he would often intentionally stay out of the main House dynamics in order to avoid drama.
Aldo had a remarkable social game: he was almost always among the Favorites of the House (the contestants made immune by their fellow housemates) and only received one vote against him in over three months of playing, never having to face the public vote.
After the season was extended by three more months and each contestant had to pick whether or not they wanted to continue playing, Aldo decided not to continue, leaving the House on Day 96.
