[edit] Competition and prizes
Much like other Big Brother TV shows, Big Brother Brasil features 16 housemates who are isolated from the rest of the world (primarily from mass media, such as newspapers, telephones, television and the internet) to live together in a "Big Brother" house while having all their steps followed by cameras around-the-clock. Their only regular contact with the outside world is the television's studio host, Pedro Bial, but celebrity guest stars have also been introduced into the house
Contestants are evicted out of the show weekly through popular audience vote, with the winner receiving a grand prize of R$ 1,000,000. Aside the main prize there are also prizes for second and third place. Other prizes are also awarded to housemates who complete certain tasks throughout the contest.
[edit] Weekly "Líder" and "Anjo"
By winning a Líder task, a contestant (or contestants) may be named the Líder (Leader) for that week. The Líder cannot be nominated for elimination (Paredão, "Brick wall") that week, and must pick another contestant to face the elimination match.
It is common that the Leader of the week of Carnaval is allowed to go to the Desfiles of Escolas de Samba with another contestant of their choice.
Líder tasks vary each week and may be based on luck, endurance or other skills the housemates may possess.
As well as a Líder, an Anjo (Angel) is determined. This housemate can protect any housemate, other than the Anjo themself, from facing the Paredão.
In 2007, another selected house mate is given the power to nullify the Anjo's saving power. If they elect to use their ability, the Anjo's choice is ignored.
[edit] Estaleca (currency)
Introduced at Big Brother Brasil 5, the Estaleca (Z$) is currency of the house. Each contestant has their own credit card with an amount of "Estalecas". Contestants may use their currency to purchase needs for the house, such as food, rent items for personal use, such as hairdryer, or even purchase an event outside of the house, such a helicopter ride.
The winners of the Estaleca's task win each week the right to do all the shopping. They can choose what the others housemates are going to eat in the following week. As in the real stock market, the Estalecas can suffer some speculative attacks and it can make the value of the groceries rise or lower.
[edit] The house
The Big Brother Brasil house is located inside Globo's production center in Rio de Janeiro, "Projac". The house is considered by most Big Brother Specialists as the biggest and most extravagant house of all Big Brothers[citation needed].
The external area of the house is approximately 700 square meters (m²) while the internal areas is about 200 m². The house has 4 bedrooms (3 for the normal contestants and one for the Leader), a living room, one bathroom, a big garden, one kitchen, a gym, a jacuzzi, a pool, and a special room called Confessionário (Confessionary).
[edit] Weekly broadcast
On Sunday nights, the weekly Paredão process is initiated. First the Anglo and Líder nominate their choices for their respective abilities. Then, each one of the remaining contestants go into the Confessionário (Confessionary), and vote on the other contestant they with to face an elimination match. The highest voted contestant is sent to the elimination match to face the person nominated by the Líder and an audience poll starts (either by phone, SMS or Internet) to pick which of the two contestants shall be eliminated.
On Tuesday the poll result is shown and the highest voted contestant is eliminated and removed from the house.

[edit] Big Brother Brasil 7
This season premiered on January 9, 2007, with some controversy. Before the beginning of the show, the announced contestant Yumi Ouchi was replaced by Flávia Viana, as Rede Globo claimed that Yumi had a contract with SBT, another Brazilian television channel, although she denied that.
Another replacement happened on the premiere of the season, when Fernando Orozco was eliminated for having a friend who works as a director in the channel, which is against the rules of the show, as anyone who has any type of relationship with a Globo's employee is not allowed to be contestant in the program. He was replaced by Felipe Cobra. This was the first Big Brother Brasil to allow other contestant of other Big Brother to stay in the house (he was Pablo Espósito, from Gran Hermano Argentina 4)
The Canadian Pop-punk band Simple Plan and Fatboy Slim were guest stars.
Every year, a very popular act is chosen by Globo to play during the finale. For the 7th season, the chosen band was Babado Novo.

[edit] Celebrities
Usually Big Brother contestants are already forgotten by the time of the next season but there are a few exceptions of contestants who became national stars. Grazielli Massafera is probably the biggest celebrity coming out of the reality show. After her participation on the 5th edition, she became a huge celebrity appearing in over 130 magazine covers, starring in over 13 commercials and winning an important role on Brazil's most-watched soap.
Sabrina Sato also became a personality on the country after appearing on the 5th edition of the show. She posed naked twice for Playboy magazine and is one of the hosts of Panico, a show very popular among teenagers and Rede TV most-watched show. She has one of Rede TV's biggest contracts and is also the spokesperson for several companies.
Diego "Alemão", Big Brother 7 winner (with 91% of the votes) and Iris also became huge celebrities after appearing on the show, possibly the two most popular Big Brother contestants. But it's still very early to determine if their popularity will continue until the show next season. Alemão received a big paycheck to star in Brazil's big store Casa & Video campaign.
Diego "Alemão" also appeared on over 40 magazine covers, from gossip weeklies to teenage magazines. When he appeared with an Armani A;X coat in Globo's 'Mais Você', the coat sold out in a few hours. He presents a segment on Sunday magazine show Fantastico and, according to O Globo's Controle Remoto, his segment is the show most-watched part. He is dating Iris.
Iris is also very popular. She posed naked on Playboy magazine. Now she presents TV Fama in REDETV Channel.
[edit] Game
A mobile version of Big Brother was released in 2005, called My Big Brother, and reproduced the entire show, in real-time, inside mobile phones. Big Brother Brasil is also on software and is manufactured by Continuum and Brasoft Studios ([1])
