A Fazenda (English: The Farm) is the current Brazilian version of the The Farm reality television show based on the Swedish television series of the same name that was originally created in 2001 by Strix and produced in association with Sony Entertainment and Endemol.
The show is based on a group of celebrities living together twenty-four hours a day in a Farm (located in Itu, São Paulo), isolated from the outside world (primarily from mass media, such as newspapers, telephones, television and the internet) while having all their steps followed by cameras around-the-clock, with no privacy for three months.[1]
The contestants compete for the chance to win the grand prize by avoiding weekly eviction, until the last celebrity remains at the end of the season that can claim the grand prize. The show was presented by news reporter Britto Junior alongside with actress Chris Couto and directed by Rodrigo Carelli.[2] Record's website and a Record-owned pay-per-view channel offer round-the-clock coverage.[3]

The show features 14–18 celebrities who are are sequestered in the Farm with no contact to or from the outside world. while having all their steps followed by cameras around-the-clock. Each week, the contestants take part in several compulsory challenges that determine who will win the power in the Farm.
The winner of the Farmer of the Week competition is immune from nominations. After a contestant becomes Farmer, he or she is ineligible to take part in the next Farmer of the Week competition.
All contestants except for the Farmer of the Week compete (as a teams or individuals) in the two-part Weekly Nomination Challenge on the pre-taped Sunday broadcast. The overall dead last loser will become the first nominee of the week.
On Nomination Night, all contestants except for the Farmer of the Week vote to nominate one of the fellow contestants on the live Tuesday broadcast. This vote is conducted by the host Britto Junior. In the event of a tie, the first nominee (the weekly challenge loser) must cast the deciding vote. Then, the Farmer of the Week must automatically nominate one more fellow contestant for eviction.
On Eviction Night, the nominee with the greater percentage of the public votes will be evicted from the Farm on the live Thursday broadcast, exiting to an adjacent studio to be interviewed by Britto Junior.
