Facts about the BBB

Are you a fan of Big Brother? Well, we have created a gallery with curiosities about reality. You will find out where the name “Paredão” comes from and who created the program. Watch!

Women’s Sequence – Did you know that women have won the BBB 6 consecutive editions?

The victories were: Munik Nunes in 2016, Emilly Araújo in 2017, Gleici Damasceno in 2018, Paula von Sperling in 2019, Thelma Assis in 2020 and Juliette Freire in 2021.

Tied – Another curious fact about the winners is that 11 men won the program and 11 women also managed to take first place.

Soon everything is tied and the 23rd edition of the reality show will break the tie for this statistic.

Historical wall – One of the highlights of the BBB was the wall involving Felipe Prior and Manu Gavassi, in the twentieth edition.

It was impressive because it was the largest vote in history, with more than a billion votes, generating a huge impact in Brazil.

Sabrina Sato on the BBB – One of the main celebrities of the moment is the host Sabrina Sato and not everyone remembers that she participated in the reality show.

He was in Big Brother 3, just 21 years old. At the time, she was in a romance with the program’s winner participant Dhomini.

Several presenters – The program is currently hosted by Tadeu Schmidt. He is in his second year presenting the reality show and is increasingly adapted to the style.

However, it was not he who filled this role before. For a long time this position belonged to Pedro Bial and before Tadeu it was the mission of Tiago Leifert.

Dutch Big Brother – Do you know where Big Brother comes from? Well, it wasn’t Brazil but Holland in 1999.

It was the idea of ​​tycoon John de Mol, owner of Endemol. The interesting point is that the idea for the program came from the book “1984” by George Orwell. In the novel, the Big Brother character is the supreme leader and controls the entire population.

Sad and supernatural story – The program thrives on conversations, daily intrigues and relationships. However, there have already been tense and unprecedented moments in Brazil’s most followed house. One example was in the second edition, when participant Cida swore she heard her name even with no one around her.

The curious and surprising point of the story is that her sister had died of cancer on the same day and practically at the same time that she said she heard the name. It is worth noting that the participant did not know at the time of her death.

How the term “wall” came about – When some participants are in danger in the game and are in danger of being eliminated, it’s because they’re on the wall, isn’t it?

However, this name was not an invention of the production of the program. The term first had to be in Berlinda. The one who started with the idea of ​​going to the Paredão was Adriano, a participant in the first edition. When many started talking like this, it became official.

Viva Carnaval – It seems unimaginable these days, but the truth is that there was a time when it was possible to escape from the most guarded house in Brazil.

But this is changing due to social networks and fan club strategies. That is, these Carnival exits, for example, have become much rarer to prevent them from receiving information from outside the house.

BBB and the program Jô – Nowadays it is common to have a series of interviews with the eliminated participant, immediately after leaving the house or the next day with Ana Maria Braga (before, on Sundays, Faustão also played this role).

But before, who played this role was the presenter Jô Soares. For example, the first winner of the “BBB”, Kléber Bambam, left his house in Rio de Janeiro and went to appear live on the Jô Soares show, immediately after taking a helicopter!
