[edit] Competition and prizes

Much like other Big Brother TV shows, Big Brother Brasil features (usually) 14 housemates who are isolated from the rest of the world (primarily from mass media, such as newspapers, telephones, television and the internet) to live together in a "Big Brother" house while having all their steps followed by cameras around-the-clock. Their only regular contact with the outside world is the television's studio host, Pedro Bial, but celebrity guest stars have also been introduced into the house

Contestants are evicted out of the show weekly through popular audience vote, with the winner receiving a grand prize of R$ 1,000,000. Aside the main prize there are also prizes for second and third place. Other prizes are also awarded to housemates who complete certain tasks throughout the contest.

[edit] Weekly Líder and Anjo

By winning a weekly physical endurance task, one based on a specific skill, a general knowledge quiz, or even sometimes through a luck event, one of the contestants may be named the Líder ("Leader", "Head of Household") for one week. The Líder cannot be nominated for eviction (Paredão, "Brick wall", "Block") that week, and must pick another contestant to face eviction match.

It is common that the Líder during the week of Carnaval is allowed to go to the Samba school parades (sometimes with another contestant of their choice).

In the 2003 season, a weekly Anjo (Angel) is introduced and determined. This housemate may choose any other housemate to protect from facing the Paredão.

In the 2007 season, another selected house mate was given the Poder de Veto ("Power of veto") to nullify the Anjo's saving power.

In the 2008 season, the Anjo was also given a Monstro (Monster) side, where that housemate, besides protecting someone from elimination, must "punish" one or more contestants, obliging them to do an unpleasing task or forbidding them to go to the party.

[edit] Estaleca (currency)

Introduced at Big Brother Brasil 5, the Estaleca (Z$) is currency of the house. Each contestant has their own credit card with an amount of "Estalecas". Contestants may use their currency to purchase needs for the house, such as food, rent items for personal use, such as hairdryer, or even purchase an event outside of the house, such a helicopter ride.

The winners of the Estaleca's task win each week the right to do all the shopping. They can choose what the others housemates are going to eat in the following week. As in the real stock market, the Estalecas can suffer some speculative attacks and it can make the value of the groceries rise or lower.

[edit] The house

The Big Brother Brasil house is located inside Globo's production center in Rio de Janeiro, "Projac". The house is considered by most Big Brother Specialists as the biggest and most extravagant house of all Big Brothers[citation needed].

The external area of the house is approximately 700 square meters (m²) while the internal areas is about 200 m². The house has 4 bedrooms (3 for the normal contestants and one for the Leader), a living room, one bathroom, a big garden, one kitchen, a gym, a jacuzzi, a pool, and a special room called Confessionário (Confessionary).

[edit] Weekly broadcast

On Sunday nights, the weekly Paredão process is initiated. First the Anjo and Líder nominate their choices for their respective abilities. Then, each one of the remaining contestants go into the Confessionário (Confessionary), and vote on the contestant they wish to face an elimination match. The highest voted contestant is sent to the elimination match to face the person nominated by the Líder and an audience poll starts (either by phone, SMS or Internet) to pick which of the two or three contestants shall be eliminated.

On Tuesday the poll result is shown and the highest voted contestant is eliminated and removed from the house.

[edit] Big Brother Brasil 1

The first season started airing on January 29, 2002. It was hosted by Pedro Bial and Marisa Orth who later quit and did not host the second season. The show lasted 64 days and ended on April 2, 2002, and brought in record ratings.

[edit] Big Brother Brasil 7

This season premiered on January 9, 2007, with some controversy. Before the beginning of the show, the announced contestant Yumi Ouchi was replaced by Flávia Viana, as Rede Globo claimed that Yumi had a contract with SBT, another Brazilian television channel, although she denied that.

Another replacement happened on the premiere of the season, when Fernando Orozco was eliminated for having a friend who works as a director in the channel, which is against the rules of the show, as anyone who has any type of relationship with a Globo's employee is not allowed to be contestant in the program. He was replaced by Felipe Cobra. This was the first Big Brother Brasil to allow other contestant of other Big Brother to stay in the house (he was Pablo Espósito "Pablito", from Gran Hermano Argentina 4).

The participant Íris Stefanelli became a very popular celebrity and starred in a Rede TV!'s television program in 2007 entitled TV Fama. She had a special participation in Gran Hermano Argentina 4.

Total number of votes in the final: 26.3 million.

Note 1: A competition was held to find out who would be up for eviction. The eviction will be between 2 pairings of Housemates. Housemates were randomly paired up into pairs. Diego and Liane won the competition and got to award immunity to one couple. This couple would then choose another couple to receive immunity, and so on, until only two pairs remain, who will then face the Public Vote. These couples were Airton & Juliana and Alan Pierre & Flávia
Note 2: Each Week the Power of Immunity holder gets to award Immunity to one Housemate, but the Power of Veto winner also holds the Power to Veto, or nullify, this decision.
Note 3: The Public were allowed to vote one of the original two back into the House. They chose Airton with 68% of the Vote, meaning that Juliana missed out on the chance. Airton was Immune this Week as he was only in the House ten minutes before Nominations began. Felipe won Power of Immunity and Bruno won Power of Veto. Felipe chose to award Immunity to Alberto, and Bruno did not Veto this decision.
Note 4: Íris won the PoI and awarded Diego Immunity, however, this decision was Vetoed by PoV winner Analy, meaning no-one (other than HOH by default) was Immune this Week.

Note 1: Leonardo answered the Hot Phone and was informed that he should get a blackboard in the pantry and write in it the names of three participants, in block letters. Among these three, one should be nominated (Naiá), another should be immunized (Francine) and the third (Ana Carolina) would be neutral.
Note 2: Newton answered the Hot Phone and was informed that he should choose two participants (Leonardo and Ralf) to receive a punishment together with him. After the food competition on Sunday, they should wear a white outfit until vote time, when the punishment (confinement in the White Room) was revealed, which ended with Leonardo walking away from the program and the elimination of the one nominated by the trio (Alexandre).
Note 3: Emanuel answered the Hot Phone and was informed that by accepting not to participate in the next HoH competition, he would win immunity. Emanuel accepted the proposal, therefore becoming immune, but not elegible to compete for the next leadership. As the Hot Fone indicated nobody, on Sunday Live Nominations, before the indication of the leader Priscilla, balls were drawn to define a third indication (whoever drew a red ball would automatically be nominated). Mirla was the second to draw and got the red ball, becoming nominated together with Ana and Newton.
Note 4: Max answered the Hot Phone and was automatically up for eviction. However, there would be a way for him to escape: he should enter the confessional and choose one person to go in his place. If the chosen (Emanuel) received three (or more) votes on Sunday Live Nominations, he would become nominated instead of Max. Max would have to convince the housemates to vote in that person, but without giving any clues that it was an exchange. On Sunday, Emanuel received 5 votes and went to the wall in place of Max. As Emanuel exchanged places with Max, the second most voted (Emanuel was the most voted) in the house, Ana, joined Mirla and Emanuel in nomination.
Note 5: Mirla answered the first call of Hot Phone and indicated Ralf, along with her, watching the parade of Carnival in Salvador. On the second call, Andre answered the Hot Phone and had to choose a Housemate to be automatically up for eviction. He chose to nominate Naiá.

For this, she should go to the pantry, pick up two red collars, put on your options (Mirla and Maíra C) and keep the secret in danger of going to be automatically up for eviction. Mirla was evicted in the same week and Maíra C were nominated by the HoH, so nothing happened about it.
Note 7: Francine answered the Hot Phone and had to choose a Housemate to be automatically up for eviction or choose someone to be immunized. Francine decided to immunize Milena.
Note 8: Francine answered the first call of Hot Phone and was forbidden answered it again for the next 24 hours. In the second call, Priscilla answered the Hot Phone and was informed that should veto three participants to receive the power of immunity. For this, she should go to the pantry, pick up three yellow collars, put on your options (Ana, Josiane and Maíra C) and keep this a secret. Inside the Josiane's collar there was a note which informed that she was immunized.
Note 9: Priscila answered the Hot Phone and was informed that should to vote in two peoples this week. For the first vote, she should go to the pantry, pick up a white collar, put on your option (Naiá) and keep this a secret. Her second vote should to be on Sunday Live Nominations.
Note 10: Milena answered the Hot Phone and was informed that could to immunize someone who were of her same group on the next Food Competition (if the group win only). But, if the other group win, she should to immunize someone of there. She also should to keep this a secret.
Note 11: TBA

[edit] Celebrities

Usually Big Brother contestants are already forgotten by the time of the next season, most of the women (and some of the men, as well) posing naked to get some extra cash, but there are a few exceptions of contestants who became national stars. Sabrina Sato, Grazielli Massafera and Íris Stefanelli are probably the biggest celebrities coming out of the reality show.

Sabrina Sato became a personality on the country after appearing on the 3rd edition of the show. She posed naked twice for Playboy magazine and is one of the hosts of Pânico na TV, a very popular TV show among teenagers and Rede TV!'s most-watched show. She has one of Rede TV!'s biggest contracts and is also the spokesperson for several companies.

After her participation on the 5th edition, where she was billed as extremely charismatic and nice, Grazielli Massafera also became a huge celebrity appearing in over 130 magazine covers, starring in over 13 commercials and winning an important role on Rede Globo's popular soap opera "Páginas da Vida" (Pages of the Life), where she received bad critics. Grazi is now a little more respected whit actress, one of the most popular celebrities in the country and is dating Cauã Raymond, one of Brazil's most popular and eligible young actors.

Íris Stefanelli and Diego "Alemão" from BBB 7 attracted huge attention during their time in the house and achieved extreme popularity, thanks to their charisma. Because of the media frenzy they caused, it was expected they, particularly Íris, would follow BBB5 housemate Grazi footsteps, by becoming celebrities.

Íris Stefanelli became a personality on the country after appearing on the 7th edition of the show. She received a big paycheck to pose naked for Playboy. Globo decided not to take into consideration Siri (as she was nicknamed in the house) huge popularity and decided not to give her a long-term contract. She was contracted by RedeTV! to co-host popular gossip show TV Fama. Her lucrative deal was highlighted by the media. Íris is still a host on the show after the huge buzz that ensued her participation on the house.

Diego "Alemão" was the winner of BBB7 and even before he was announced the winner, he appeared on over 20 magazine covers. Following his stint on the house, Globo was fast to sign a long-term deal with him, expecting him to be "the next big thing". After appearing on Patinando com os Famosos (Skating with the Stars), a popular segment in variety show Domingão do Faustão, having role on the comical show Zorra Total and having his own segment on popular magazine TV show Fantástico, Globo's director decided he wasn't good enough to be a TV personality. He is still locked under contract, but doesn't have any project right now.

The most successful ex-BBBs are Grazielli Massafera, who is one of the most popular celebrities in the country; Sabrina Sato, who is one of the members of the Panico troop; Juliana Alves, who is becoming a respected actress and Íris Stefanelli is one of the hosts for Rede TV!'s TV Fama.

[edit] Game

A mobile version of Big Brother was released in 2005, called My Big Brother, and reproduced the entire show, in real-time, inside mobile phones. Big Brother Brasil is also on software and is manufactured by Continuum and Brasoft Studios ([1])

[edit] Criticisms and controversy

Big Brother 3 began on January 14, 2003, and caused controversy. Among the participants was Miss Brazil 2002, Joseane. Rules of the Miss Brazil contest forbid participation of married women, and when Joseane participated, she stated she was single. With her exposure in BBB, some magazines discovered she was married even before winning the beauty contest. Once the marriage was proven, Joseane was stripped of her crown, and Thaisa Tomsem was crowned Miss Brazil 2002. Also, participant Dilson, not knowing Joseane was married, tried to start a romantic relationship with her during the show. Due to her refusals, he felt unmotivated and left the show voluntarily. Participant Harry replaced him at February 26, and became the first participant not to enter the show on its first day.

During Big Brother 8, the contestant Juliana fainted during a Resistance Test where the contestants were to remain perfectly still inside inside a glass chamber. Newspapers and websites proclaimed Big Brother to be inhumane. However, the show was unaffected by the negative press.
