Beija Sapo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Beija Sapo is a Brazilian blind-date TV show produced and broadcast by MTV Brazil and hosted by the Brazilian model Daniella Cicarelli.

The title means "kissing frogs" in Portuguese.

In the show, a participant called the prince or princess must choose one out of three contestants, completely dressed up as toads, to kiss them at the end of the program. The program's scenario resembles a medieval castle, in order to give a fairytale atmosphere to it.

The whole choosing process includes getting to know the "toads"' bedrooms, presented by close friends of theirs, asking the "toads" several questions, and even getting them to sing the "prince" or "princess" a song, with new lyrics written by themselves, often begging them a chance.

Interestingly, the dismissed contestants still have the opportunity of kissing someone else. Right after their dismissal, Daniella Cicarelli picks out some people from the audience, so that the one who screams the sentense "Help me out, Cicarelli!!" louder will be able to kiss the eliminated "frog".

There was also several lesbians and gay special editions.

Beija Sapo airs every Fridays, at 7:00pm, on MTV Brazil. It's the highest-rated show on the channel and was made to replace Fica Comigo (which was the highest-rated show on the channel before Beija Sapo).
