Big Brother Brasil 24

Big Brother Brasil 24 was the twenty-fourth season of Big Brother Brasil, which premiered on Monday, January 8, 2024 on TV Globo. The show was produced by Globo and hosted by Tadeu Schmidt, who returned for his third season as the host.

This season had 100 days of confinement, tied with the 21st, 22nd and 23rd as the longest seasons of the reality show ever shown.

For the first time, the grand prize is R$ 2.92 million without tax allowances, the biggest prize in the history of the series, and a 2025 Chevrolet Trailblazer car, plus a R$150,000 prize offered to the runner-up and a R$50,000 prize offered to the housemate in third place.

Like the previous seasons, the show features housemates divided into two groups: "Celebrities", composed of actors, singers, athletes and social media personalities, and "Civilians", composed of everyday Brazilians. A third group consisting of a second batch of civilians called the "Annexes" was introduced as part of the season's opening twist where only 8 of the 13 hopefuls enter the main cast, bringing the total number of housemates to a record breaking number of 26 contestants.

On April 16, 2024, 21 year-old app driver Davi Brito won the competition with 60.52% of the public vote over agricultural engineering student Matteus Amaral and dancer & digital influencer Isabelle Nogueira. In addition, the winner received a documentary about his life, produced by Globoplay.

The house
The twenty-fourth season of Big Brother Brasil presents a remodeled house inspired by fairy tales and fiction stories. The rooms incorporate magical elements, such as a clock that serves as a withdrawn button, a bathroom themed after a wishing well, and a Diary Room that transforms into a magical winter garden. The Have-Not and Have kitchens have distinct decorations, reminiscent of a medieval tavern and combining modernity with optical illusions, respectively. In addition to the traditional three bedrooms, the house also has an extra room on the second floor, with magical and astronomical decor. The outdoor area simulates an enchanted forest divided between day and night. The gym features stone decorations, torches, and war trophies. The house aims to create a fantastic atmosphere, incorporating elements from various imaginary universes.

Mesacast BBB
The twenty-fourth season of the show features a videocast as a new addition Every day of the week, Mesacast BBB will bring together a team of influencers and TV hosts to discuss the happenings in the most watched house in Brazil Simultaneously aired on Globoplay and Multishow, the show is hosted by Ana Clara, Nany People, Vitor DiCastro, Jojo Todynho, Ed Gama, Mari Gonzalez, Henrique Lopes, Thamirys Borsan, Guto TV, and Pequena Lo.

Final prize change throughout the season
Just like the previous season, the grand prize will be undetermined until the end of the season but this time, the prize starts at R$0 and increases over the weeks through the evicted housemates spinning a roulette wheel with different values.

Revised voting system
Starting this season, several changes were made regarding the public vote. In addition to having unlimited votes online, named "Fan Vote", the viewers would have the option to vote only once on a separate platform, using their CPF, where they would only be allowed to cast one vote per round. Each of these systems would have a weighted average of 50% in the final result of the vote.

During the first portion of the game, viewers would vote to save nominees from eviction, where the housemate receiving the fewest votes to save would be evicted each round. However, in the second phase of the show, the "vote to evict" voting system would be brought back like the previous seasons.

Three groups
The dynamics of the season followed the model introduced in Big Brother Brasil 20, mixing housemates into two groups. In addition to the camarote (celebrity) and pipoca (civilian) groups, the puxadinho (annex) also entered as part of the cast.

Expanded HoH privileges
Along with the typical duties of the Head of Household, the HoH will allow in "Control Center" extra Monster Punishment taps to be triggered, albeit in a limited way.

Through the "HoH Pursuer" function, he will be able to find out who was the participant who most tried to put him on the block. Finally, every week, the public will choose an emoji in the "HoH Poll" to define leadership performance: doubtful, hidden, alert, difficult, lucky, bold or ninja.

Larger cast
In addition to the 18 housemates selected by production, an additional 14 (later 13) potential housemates were revealed a day before the show's premiere. Viewers were asked to vote two of them (1 man and 1 woman) into the game, while another 6 would be selected by the contestants already in the House during premiere night. As a result, 26 housemates would participate in the season.

Expanded Power of Immunity powers
In addition to the winner of the Power of Immunity competition having the power to grant one housemate safety for the week, they would also be immune from eviction.

Big Sincere
In the season, the "Discord Game" gave way to a new note-taking activity: Big Sincere. Shown live every Monday, the dynamic will be carried out only by the protagonists of the week: the HoH, the PoI holder and those nominated for eviction.

The host will ask questions based on the themes drawn by the housemates during the panel. The other housemates remain inside the house and watch on the living room screen. If the named participant is among the protagonists of the week, there is the right to reply.

The HoH's Crosshairs
After the result of the HoH's competition, the winner of the competition will perform the "The HoH's Crosshairs" twist, handing out a number of wristbands to housemates in the house. The HoH will be required to choose his nomination for eviction among the housemates who received the bracelet.

Joker Power
Each week, before the house groceries purchases, an advantage or twist of some kind will be offered to all housemates, who can then bid for it in the Diary Room using their in-game currencies, if they wish so. The results will then be displayed to the whole House, with the housemate who entered the Diary Room and bid for the advantage first being the winner, in the event of a tie. The housemates are allowed to share, omit or lie regarding any details related to the bid.

Starting this season, through the "Lose and Win" twist, the housemates will enter the Diary Room with the amount of bids they have accumulated, but the value will change unpredictably. Initially, there will be a quick game of luck, the result of which may be the addition or loss of stakes. After that, knowing the new balance, they can decide if they want to participate in the auction.

Power of No
At the beginning of each week, the previous Head of Household may or may not be given the opportunity to disqualify some housemates from competing in the upcoming HoH competition. Housemates might also be vetoed from competing in HoH by punishments from other competitions or twists.

Big Phone
Once in a while, the Big Phone rings, unleashing good or bad consequences on the nomination process for those who decide to answer it.

The Counterattack
The counterattack is a surprise power given to either the HoH's nominee and/or the House's nominee, in which they have the opportunity to automatically nominate an additional housemate for eviction. While viewers are informed when the power will be featured in advance (on Thursdays before the Head of Household competition even takes place), the housemates are only informed about the twist on the spot, during Sunday's live nominations.

Housemates
On April 21, 2023, TV Globo announced that applications for the twenty-fourth season of the show were open, during the broadcast of Big Brother Brasil 23, with spots divided by regions of Brazil. On July 10, there was a specific reopening for the Southeast region, ending on the same day.

The cast of 18 official housemates was unveiled on January 5, 2024, during breaks in TV Globo programming and on Gshow.

Rebeca Mota, a 27 year-old dentist from São Paulo, was scheduled to be announced as one of the 14 potential housemates, however, she voluntarily left during the sequester period on January 6 and was not replaced.

On January 7, during the Fantástico show, 13 more candidates were revealed. Among them, the public chose one man and one woman (Davi Brito and Isabelle Nogueira) to officially enter the game, while the house chose another six, three men (Juninho Silva, Lucas Henrique Ferreira and Michel Nogueira) and three women (Raquele Cardozo, Giovanna Lima and Thalyta Alves), to make up the cast of 26 housemates.

Accusation of ableism
On January 9, 2024, during the first HoH's endurance competition, Maycon Cosmer made controversial comments and jokes towards Vinícius Rodrigues, an amputee Paralympic athlete. Maycon's attitudes were criticized by viewers on social media, being considered ableist and insensitive.

Accusation of racism
On January 9, 2024, during a bathroom conversation about makeup, Lucas Luigi made a racist comment when he, in an attempt to joke, called Leidy Elin Alvarenga a monkey. Later in the afternoon, Leidy Elin called Luigi out saying that them, as both Afro-Brazilians, cannot joke about these things because it's a very heavy word and is used a lot in the outside world. Luigi apologized.

Nizam Hayek, Vinícius Rodrigues and Rodriguinho
In a conversation in the HoH's room, on January 13, 2024, sexist speeches by Rodriguinho and Nizam Hayek caused outrage on social media. They criticized Yasmin Brunet's body. To many, the comments came across as rude.

Later, in another conversation, Vinícius Rodrigues and Rodriguinho talked about the other women in the House.

Lucas Luigi
On January 19, 2024, Lucas Luigi, during a conversation with Giovanna Lima and Raquele Cardozo, the flooring installer commented on Alane Dias's body: "Come on, body comparison, you have the beauty that a man really likes. Alane She has a saggy, soft ass".

On January 22, 2024, during a conversation with Rodriguinho, Juninho Silva, Vinícius Rodrigues and MC Bin Laden at the gym, Luigi shot at Matteus Amaral about Deniziane Ferreira: "Play with her pussy [Deniziane], where she tells him he goes".

Fernanda Bande
On January 31, 2024, during a conversation at the gym, Fernanda Bande said to Alane Dias, suggesting she needs to exercise more to avoid sagging: "Carry more weight there, you're a little soft. You need to do more exercise than working your tongue", said the baker.

Davi Brito
Davi Brito was involved in some speeches considered sexist by the public at times, such as when he said that women must put themselves in their place to be respected by men. "A woman, because she is a woman, has to put herself in her place to have the man's respect.", he declared while talking to other housemates about the discussion he had with Leidy Elin Alvarenga days before.

Accusation of xenophobia
Still in the HoH's room, on January 13, viewers accused Rodriguinho of xenophobia after he mocked Isabelle Nogueira's Amazonian background in a conversation with Lucas Pizane and Vinícius Rodrigues after the later talked about his connection with her. "What? Do you like Boi-Bumbá too? That's all she talks about. She only sings Boi-Bumbá music", he said. Pizane countered his comment: "But you don't even talk to her, how do you know what she's talking about?", which Rodriguinho replied: "But that's what I see".

The night before, Rodriguinho had already caused controversy by referring to Isabelle as "índia" while placing her as his target during the live HoH's Crosshairs ceremony. After being warned by Wanessa Camargo about his comment, Rodriguinho went to talk to Isabelle who explained to him that the term "índio/índia" is no longer used: "It's kind of derogatory. But the world is understanding that now. It's indigenous or native people".

Accusation of homophobia
On January 14, 2024, Davi Brito used a homophobic slur during an argument with Nizam Hayek, when he accused him of being "fake" and "manipulative", while stating that: "I'm a man, I'm not a f**got". Later in the night, Michel Nogueira confronted Davi about his comments and advised him to be careful with his words when referring to social minorities and that he, as an openly gay man, is also in the House because of the struggle of an entire community. Davi apologized to Michel, claiming that he was in the heat of the moment and that it was not his intention to offend him.

After Michel left the room, Isabelle Nogueira, who was also present and heard the conversation, added that when you use a derogatory term like that, you are violating an entire group of people.

He later said that he would prefer to have a son instead of a daughter, with the reasoning: "I want to have a boy, teach the kid to be a man".

Vanessa's withdrawal
On January 19, 2024, Vanessa Lopes pressed the Withdrawn Button and walked from the game. In previous moments, Vanessa's mental health was questioned by both housemates and the public, as the housemate had several crying spells and controversial speeches at some points in the show.

Some celebrities spoke out on the matter, showing concern for the digital influencer.

On February 18, 2024, Vanessa said, in an interview with Fantástico, that she had an acute psychotic condition. The reason she withdrew from participating in the reality show was to take care of hers health.

Accusation of harassment
In the early hours of February 5, during a party, Alane Dias accused Juninho Silva of harassment. As soon as the live show on TV Globo ended, Alane called Juninho in front of all the housemates to express satisfaction about him hitting on her during the party on February 3, 2024.

On February 6, during Juninho's eviction speech, the host Tadeu Schmidt clarified the situation and drew Alane's attention indirectly: "How many times in your life have you argued, fought with someone and thought, if everyone saw this, everyone I'd be right. Have you ever thought if every discussion in life was like this? It's all recorded, let's review the images, show them to people, and people will say who's right." Tadeu then questioned the accusations made by Alane: "Did you use the correct words? Are you sure of what you are talking about? Are you sure of what you are defending? If you bet all your chips, it is essential not to have any doubts [...] Let's make one thing very clear. If someone had played outside the rules, this eviction wouldn't even be happening. We would have already taken action.", clarified the host. He ends by clarifying that the production analyzed all the images and did not identify any crime on the part of Juninho.

Wanessa's ejection
In the early hours of March 2, Wanessa Camargo was dancing drunk in the magic room, when she ended up slapping Davi Brito on the leg, who was sleeping. Shortly after the act, the singer apologized to the housemate and claimed that she was "very crazy". However, Davi didn't like Wanessa's attitude and complained when he was talking to Matteus Amaral, "She [Wanessa] saw that I was lying down. There are four beds in that room, did she come and hit my bed right away? Besides being a provocation, it's a lack of respect I was sleeping, man. I even lost sleep.".

In the morning the singer was called to the Diary Room and was ejected from the game, after more complaints from Davi and the public.

Davi and MC Bin Laden
On March 25, 2024, after Big Sincere, Davi Brito and MC Bin Laden were involved in a widespread fight that spread throughout the house and caused controversy. The moment happened when Bin Laden and Matteus Amaral were talking about the events of the dynamic, when Davi ended up entering and a big argument started between the two.

The fight started during the dynamic. Davi stated that Bin Laden betrayed his allies on the show, while the funk singer pointed out that the Bahian played the victim. During the fight, the housemates exchanged insults and even fought each other. Internet users pointed out that the housemates should be ejected for excessive physical touching during the discussion. The dummies tried to intervene, but the insults continued. Until the show's production team put an end to the fight: "This is a conversation game. If it were a fight, it would be UFC. We have limits and they have to be respected. Respect that limit.", said the voice.

On social media, part of the public called for the Davi and Bin Laden's ejection. Attacks allegedly occurred when the app driver "headbutted" the singer and when Lucas Henrique Ferreira fell to the ground, while trying to restrain Bin Laden.

Breaking the rules by Beatriz Reis
During Sabrina Sato's visit to the house on March 20, 2024, Beatriz Reis ended up knocking the guest to the floor when trying to hug her when entering the house. The scene happened when the housemates, who were returning from the outside area, came across a strange movement on the other side of the door. When they returned to the show room they met with the presenter and Beatriz went too far and in a whirl hugging the guest, ended up falling to the floor with the presenter who almost hit her back on the table in the center of the room. The impact of the fall was not greater because it was cushioned by the housemates who held her body.

On social media, internet users called for Beatriz's ejection and emphasized that the production should stop "cutting the corner" on the housemate's attitudes towards the presence of celebrities on the show. The hashtag #BeatrizEjected ended up trending on Twitter. Hours after the incident, the production of the reality show caught Beatriz's attention through the voice speaking to the house, announcing that she would lose 500 stakes as punishment, and Alane, who also participated in the incident, would lose 200. "Attention gentlemen! Attention, Mrs. Beatriz, especially Mrs. Beatriz for her attitudes when we have a guest in the house, when we have an artist. You committed a very serious act. You have already been warned several times and you have to control yourself in front of the other people.".

It was not the first time that Beatriz was criticized by the public and participants for her exaggerated reactions towards guests in the house. During the weekly party on February 24, she ended up hugging singer Xande de Pilares several times, in addition to staying on the steps of the stage that the singers use, which is prohibited in the show's rules, with her ignoring all warnings from others housemates for her to come down from the stairs. Later, the production called Beatriz to the Diary Room and drew the housemate's attention, saying that if she exceeded the show's rules again, she could be ejected.

Accusations of partiality in production
This season has faced several accusations from the public, allegedly not applying the principle of equality and treating housemates unequally, which would demonstrate injustice. Some examples illustrate this situation. When Davi Brito expressed his desire to give up the show, the production did not allow it and called him to the Diary Room, something that did not happen with other housemates who walked from the game, such as Vanessa Lopes, a housemate in the same season as Davi. Subsequently, the conversation between the housemate and director Boninho was leaked, in which the director convinced Davi to remain in the show and reinforced that he would lose the benefits accumulated throughout the game, such as the scholarship for a university course at Estácio.

A similar case occurred when Leidy Elin Alvarenga requested permission from the production to provoke Davi. The production authorized, except physical contact, and after obtaining approval, Leidy Elin provoked Davi by throwing his clothes into the pool. After the event, Davi, being angry, planned to throw a bucket of water on Leidy Elin while she was sleeping, which could result in his ejection from the show for putting the physical integrity of a fellow prisoner at risk. However, management intervened and prevented Davi from making this decision. The following day, the host Tadeu Schmidt reprimanded Leidy Elin, stating that her attitude had gone beyond the limits, even though she had received prior authorization from the production. In the same intervention, Tadeu pointed out that Davi's ideas of revenge against the participant also went beyond the limit.

Another situation that demonstrated partiality on the part of director Boninho was when he liked a post on Twitter attacking housemates Leidy Elin and Yasmin Brunet, while praising Davi.

Another controversial episode occurred when Sabrina Sato visited the housemates in the house and did not treat everyone equally, being accused of partiality with the "Fairies" group, composed of Davi Brito, Beatriz Reis, Matteus Amaral, Isabelle Nogueira and Alane Dias, leaving the other housemates in the house uncomfortable. with production. On the same day, Fernanda Bande admitted to being upset at not having been noticed by Sabrina Sato, and also reported that Sabrina gave spoilers about what the repercussions of the game outside the house would be like due to the treatment she received. During her visit to the most watched venue in Brazil, Sato was knocked to the ground by Beatriz — who had already attracted attention for going on stage during the Xande de Pilares show — and lost 500 stakes. Alane, for having participated in the moment, lost 200 stakes. The fact outraged internet users, since Beatriz had been informed weeks ago that, if her attitude of disrespecting the space of artists and guests were to be repeated, there would be a risk of ejection.
