Overview

  • The season’s first Prova do Líder ran through the night in a multi‑round resistance format, and the winner was still undecided by early Wednesday morning.
  • Veteran Ana Paula Renault was eliminated in the opening eliminatory round after Brígido won the first stage and chose her to leave the test.
  • Solange Couto received medical attention for a leg injury during the challenge and later exited the competition.
  • The White Room returned as an eliminatory phase for Casa de Vidro finalists, and Ricardinho pressed the red button to quit, leaving eight candidates competing for two house spots.
  • Production outlined the week: Big Fone on Jan 15, Na Mira do Líder on Jan 16, Prova do Anjo on Jan 17, Paredão formation on Jan 18, and the first elimination on Jan 20; the premiere posted 21 points in Rio (down three year over year) and 18 in São Paulo (up one) with strong online engagement.
