The on-air gaffe went viral on Brazilian social platforms, prompting criticism of so-called nepo babies.

Overview

  • During SBT’s Passa ou Repassa on Sept. 28, Laura Portiolli, João Augusto Liberato and Mayara Mattar chose to pass on a question about which city hosts the Praça dos Três Poderes.
  • Host Celso Portiolli reacted with a joking rebuke about “wasted” schooling, echoing disappointment on air.
  • The opposing team—Léo Picon, Diana Oliveira and Gaby Cabrini—answered correctly, identifying Brasília.
  • Mayara said they had been out of school for a while, and João Augusto cited having lived in the United States for ten years.
