A Fazenda 5

A Fazenda 5 was the fifth season of the Brazilian reality television series A Fazenda which premiered May 29, 2012 with the finale airing August 29, 2012 on the Record television network.

The season was officially confirmed since 2011 as part of a millionaire contract between Strix Television and Record, which guaranteed seasons until 2019.

Britto Junior and Chris Couto reprised their hosting stints for the show. Celso Cavallini made his debut as the show's new special correspondent, replacing Tina Roma.

The grand prize was of R$2 million without tax allowances.

Pre-production started on January 2012. At first, the fifth season was scheduled to premiere early April but was posptoned to mid June since the producers believed that launching the new season right after the finale of Big Brother Brasil 12 could hurt the show due to the similarities in both formats.

On May 9, 2012, it was announced that the season would premiere May 30, 2012 in order to make way for the 2012 Summer Olympics and to avoid clashing with Globo's new 11 pm soap opera Gabriela. On 15 May, it was announced that the premiere was anticipated to May 29, 2012.

There are sixteen celebrities new to Farm. The complete cast list was leaked 24 hours before the season premiere.

The format changed from previous seasons. Celebrities contestants were incarcerated in the Farm with no contact to and from the outside world. Each week, the contestants took part in several compulsory challenges that determined who would win power in the Farm. The Farmer of the Week is immune from nominations.

Starting on week 2, the contestants compete to win the Key Power. The Key Power holder is the only contestant who can open the mystery box located at the Farm. However, opening the box will unleash a good consequence or a bad consequence at the nomination process. The Key Holder's choice is in bold.

Results

On day 20, production pitched a catch for the participants with help of Théo Becker, one of the most controversial housemates from A Fazenda seasons. Théo acted as if he was a new contestant, but at the end of day 21, he revealed that it was a joke and left the farm.
