In the series, Valdirene ended up locked in a fake Glass house with Murilo () and Jefferson (Celso Bernini). The trio was joined by blonde bomshell Ellen (Dani Vieira), who instantly became Val's greatest enemy. Ultimately, Valdirene "received" the most votes from the public (who didn't actually vote) and secured a place in the Big Brother house.

During a 12 hour-stay, Valdirene kissed, celebrated and got involved in arguments with her fellow housemates (the actual Big Brother housemates who were instructed by the producers to play along with her).

In the morning of January 16, 2014, Valdirene was "evicted" after came in last in a fictional elimination challenge. She refused to leave and had to be carried by security on her way out of the house. Real footage of Valdirene in the house aired on the same day during episode 208 of Amor à Vida, with 's improvisation acting skills being heavily praised by the critics and the public.
