Overview

  • Pre-confinement is reported to begin Saturday, January 3, with participants isolated in a Barra da Tijuca hotel ahead of the January 12 premiere.
  • A new 'Veteranos' group will bring back former contestants, with specific names widely speculated but not confirmed by the broadcaster.
  • Anonymous entrants will be chosen by the public through simultaneous Casas de Vidro in multiple cities, though reports differ on whether there will be five regional installations or six total.
  • Coverage reports an expanded audience role that could include viewers selecting up to half the cast and a 'tolerance zero' rule allowing replacement of low-impact players.
  • Interactive features are set to include Globoplay-integrated voting, multiple Big Fone variants chosen by viewers, and a Cartola BBB game that scores user-assembled teams.
