Big Brother Brasil is a Brazilian television show in which contestants (also called housemates) compete against each other to be the last Big Brother house resident and win the grand prize. The series first aired in 2002, and 11 seasons have been filmed as of April 2011. Season 12 premieres on January 10, 2012.[1]
Big Brother contestants are chosen by the show's producers through an application process that includes a videotape submission, semi-final interviews at select cities, and a final interview in Rio de Janeiro.
A total of 180 participants have competed, and 2 of them have competed in multiple seasons; Joseane Oliveira (from Season 3) and Marcelo Dourado (from Season 4) returned to participate in Season 10. The youngest housemate was Elane Silva from Season 3, who entered the house at age 18. The oldest housemate was Norberto Santos from Season 9, who entered the house at age 63.
