The sixth season of Bake Off Brasil premiered on August 15, 2020 at 10:30 p.m. on SBT.
After Nadja Haddad having tested positive for coronavirus during filming, Chris Flores originally filled in as host, but was replaced by former main host Ticiana Villas Boas, who returned to the show (and Brazilian television) for the first time since the season 2 finale in 2016, which was followed by the bribery scandal between her husband Joesley Batista and former president Michel Temer in 2017.[1]
Ticiana's unexpected return led to speculation that she would replace Nadja permanently due to her influence in bringing sponsors from her husband's corporates back to the show. However, when one of the current sponsors, textile company Döhler, learned from the press that SBT had replaced Nadja with Ticiana, they demanded her return as they already had hired her to be their poster girl.[2]
Nadja Haddad finally returned to host the show after being away from filming for three weeks during her recovery, while Ticiana was announced as the new host of the spin-off show Bake Off Brasil: A Cereja do Bolo.[3]
