In March 1998, Valéria Balbi left the program and the former dancers Amanda Françozo and Tânia Mara became hosts. The first season of the program ended on 15 August 1998. The official announcement of the cancellation of the program happened one day before its end. The reason why the program was canceled was that, since the month of April, the audience rate had been decreasing. Second season (1998–1999) On 1 November 1998, the program was back on Sundays, at 12:00 PM, and it was hosted by Carla Perez. The program had some changes. The main change was the inclusion of musical attractions in addition to the games. Carla Perez also used to dance with her guests. The program was canceled again in 25 July 1999, due to low ratings, the program usually lose audiences to Planeta Xuxa and has low financial returns. Third season (2000) On 8 January 2000, the program is back on the schedule of SBT, on Saturdays, from 2:15 pm to 7:20 pm. It was hosted by Celso Portiolli, Márcia Goldschmidt, Christina Rocha, Otávio Mesquita and Lu Barsoti. The program kept the same background and some of the dancers. It was canceled on 10 June 2000. Fourth season (2007–2008) On Tuesday, 30 October 2007, the program is back from 1:00 am to 3:00 am, being hosted by Helen Ganzarolli, Caco Rodrigues and Luiz Bacci. On the second day, Bacci had already left the program, which was then hosted only by Helen and Caco. In the fourth season, the format remained similar to that of the previous seasons. The main changes were the reduction of the quantity of dancers (the number was reduced from 75 to 35 girls) and their clothes (in the three previous seasons, they wore shorts and colored shirts; in the fourth season, they wore bikinis). Between 24 December and 12 January, due to Christmas and New Year seasons, the program ran in the afternoon, at 3:00 pm, and the length of the program was reduced to one hour. On 14 January the program started to run during the early hours of the day again, with its normal length of two hours.
