Big Brother Brazil


Big Brother Brasil (BBB) is the Brazilian version of the Big Brother reality franchised television show based on the original Dutch television series of the same name, that was created in 1999 by John de Mol. It is the third one with more finished seasons (only after the American and Spanish versions) and the only one with 15 years of uninterrupted annual transmission in the same channels and by the same presenter.

The show is based on a group of strangers, known as housemates, living together twenty-four hours a day in the "Big Brother" house, 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.

The housemates compete for the chance to win the grand prize by avoiding weekly eviction, until the last housemate remains at the end of the season that can claim the grand prize. The show's host is journalist Pedro Bial.

Rede Globo's website and a Globo-owned pay-per-view channel offer round-the-clock coverage. The Seasons 5 and 7 were the most popular seasons. Sabrina Sato (Season 3) used to be one of the hosts of Panico na TV and now hosts her own TV program, Juliana Alves (Season 3), Grazi Massafera (Season 5) and Munik Nunes (Season 16) are soap opera actresses at Rede Globo and Íris Stefanelli (Season 7) is a reporter for TV Fama. The five can be considered the most successful contestants of the show, although none of them, but Munik, have won the show. The only other successful show winner is Jean Wyllys, who has been pursuing a quite successful political career since having won the 5th Season.
