- Host Tadeu Schmidt announced the 10 Pipoca entrants on January 11 during the Seleção BBB special.
- The chosen contestants are: North — Marciele and Brigido; Northeast — Maxiane and Marcelo; Center-West — Jordana and Paulo Augusto; Southeast — Milena and Marcel; South — Samira and Pedro.
- TV Globo’s premiere on January 12 will introduce the Camarote cast and returning Veterans during the opening night.
