Rules

The R$ 1 million prize (about 500,000 USD), is disputed by 16 contestants (8 boys and 8 girls) who are completely isolated from the world and have all their steps followed by cameras in a round-the-clock coverage. In this 7th edition, they'll be facing 78 days of Big Brother (finishing at March 27, 2007). During this time, the housemates can't watch TV, listen to radio, make phone calls, send mail (letters or e-mail) or read magazines/newspapers. Housemates are only allowed to make contact with the host Pedro Bial by the television installed on the living room. They can be visited by some guests as TV hosts and some artists (like the canadian band Simple Plan and Fatboy Slim). Simple Plan is a pop-punk band from Montreal, Quebec, Canada—all five members are French-Canadians who were born in the province of Quebec. ... Fatboy Slim (born Quentin Leo Cook on July 31, 1963, also known as Norman Cook) is an English musician in the dance music genre. ...


The House

The house is located inside Projac, Globo's production center, in Rio de Janeiro. The house is considered by most Big Brother Specialists as the biggest and most extravagant house of all Big Brothers. The external area of the house has 700 square meters (m²) and the internal areas are about 200m². It has 4 bedrooms (3 for the normal contestants and one for the Leader), a living room, one bathroom, a big garden, one kitchen, a gym, a jacuzzi, a pool, and a special room called Confessionário (Confessionary).

Prizes

Aside the main prize, the second and third places are also awarded. Other prizes (as brand new cars, computers and printers, refrigerators, televisions and even money) can be given as the housemates accomplish some tasks.


Estalecas (Z$) and Groceries

The Estaleca (Z$) is the house currency and it was introduced at Big Brother Brasil 5. Each contestant has it own credit card with an amount of "Estalecas", that allows them to buy things for the house, like food, or personal items (rent a hair dryer, a barbecue or other pleasures they are commonly denied inside and outside the house, such as hang-gliding, bungee-jump or a helicopter ride). The winners of the Estalecas' task win also the right to do all the shopping. They can choose what the others housemates are going to eat in the following week. As in the real stock market, the Estalecas can suffer some speculative attacks and it can make the value of the groceries rise or lower. Credit cards A credit card is a system of payment named after the small plastic card issued to users of the system. ...


Leader and Angel

The Leader (Líder) is the contestant (sometimes contestants) that cannot be eliminated that week and must pick one other contestant to face the elimination match (commonly named Paredão, or Brick Wall in English). The housemate achieve this function by winning the Leader task, that can be a luck task (their luck will define the Leader), a normal task (the winner of a task is the Leader) or a endurance task (when all the housemates are submitted to a stressful situation and the last man to stand is the Leader). The Angel (Anjo) is a housemate that can protect any other housemate from being voted, but he (or she) can't protect himself. Another selected house mate is given the power to nullify this action (this rule was only recently added to the 2007 edition), if they choose to nullify, the Angel is worthless.


Eliminations

  • On Sunday nights, Angel and Leader contestants, respectively appoint one participant to be preserved and another to be added to Paredão. Then, each one of the remaining contestants go into the Confessionary (Confessionário), and vote on the other contestant they with to face an elimination match. After that, the highest voted contestant is sent to the elimination match and an audience poll starts (either by phone, SMS or Internet) to pick which of the two contestants shall be eliminated.
  • On Tuesdays (except in the case of the final), the poll result is shown and the highest voted contestant is eliminated.
  • It is also common that the Leader of the week of Carnaval is allowed to go to the Desfiles of Escolas de Samba with another contestant of their choice.
