- After briefly returning to the house, he suffered a second convulsive episode and was hospitalized for observation, prompting Tadeu Schmidt to announce his exit on air by medical recommendation.
- TV Globo’s official note detailed the sequence of care and confirmed that the actor will not continue in the program.
- The Prova do Líder concluded after roughly 26 to 27 hours, with Alberto Cowboy becoming the season’s first leader when Jonas Sulzbach withdrew.
