[edit] Competition and prizes

Much like other Big Brother TV shows, Big Brother Brasil features 14 (usually) 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") for one week. The Líder cannot be nominated for elimination (Paredão, "Brick wall") that week, and must pick another contestant to face the elimination 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).

As well as a Líder, a weekly Anjo (Angel) is 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 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 3

The third season of BBB began on January 14, 2003, and caused controversy. Among the participants was the Miss Brazil 2002, Joseane. Rules of the Miss Brazil contest forbid participation of married women, and when Joseane participated, she stated she was single. Due to the overexposition in the BBB, some magazines discovered she was married since before winning the beauty contest. The marriage being proved, 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 voluntairly. Participant Harry replaced him at January 26, and became the first participant not to enter the show at the first day.

The participant Juliana Alves starred in a Rede Globo's prime-time soap opera in 2007 entitled "Duas Caras".

The season lasted 78 days and ended on April 1, 2003.

[edit] Big Brother 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).

[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 and Grazielli Massafera 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 Panico, 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 commercialsand winning an important role on Rede Globo's popular soap opera "Páginas da Vida" (Pages of the Life), where she received good critics. Grazi is now a respected 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.

Iris 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 Iris, would follow BBB5 housemate Grazi footsteps, by becoming celebrities.

Iris 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, which, according to her, was a move instigated by Grazi's management team. Instead, she was contracted by RedeTV! to co-host popular gossip show TV Fama. Her lucrative deal was highlighted by the media. Iris is still a host on the show but after the huge buzz that ensued her participation on the house, when many people billed her as "the next Grazi", she was mostly forgotten by the media.

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.

[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 should not move even a little inside a glass chamber. The newspapers and websites started saying Big Brother was inhuman and torturer. Nothing occurred with the show, which kept running normally.
