Have you ever thought if every discussion in life was like this? It's all recorded, let's review the images, show them to people, and people will say who's right.
" Tadeu then questioned the accusations made by Alane: "Did you use the correct words? Are you sure of what you are talking about? Are you sure of what you are defending? If you bet all your chips, it is essential not to have any doubts [...] Let's make one thing very clear. If someone had played outside the rules, this eviction wouldn't even be happening. We would have already taken action.''", clarified the host. He ends by clarifying that the production analyzed all the images and did not identify any crime on the part of Juninho.

However, Davi didn't like Wanessa's attitude and complained when he was talking to Matteus Amaral, "''She [Wanessa] saw that I was lying down. There are four beds in that room, did she come and hit my bed right away? Besides being a provocation, it's a lack of respect I was sleeping, man. I even lost sleep.''".

Breaking the rules by Beatriz Reis During
Sabrina Sato's visit to the house on March 20, 2024, Beatriz Reis ended up knocking the guest to the floor when trying to hug her when entering the house. The scene happened when the housemates, who were returning from the outside area, came across a strange movement on the other side of the door. When they returned to the show room they met with the presenter and Beatriz went too far and in a whirl hugging the guest, ended up falling to the floor with the presenter who almost hit her back on the table in the center of the room. The impact of the fall was not greater because it was cushioned by the housemates who held her body. On social media, internet users called for Beatriz's ejection and emphasized that the production should stop "cutting the corner" on the housemate's attitudes towards the presence of celebrities on the show. The hashtag #BeatrizEjected ended up trending on
Twitter. Hours after the incident, the production of the reality show caught Beatriz's attention through the voice speaking to the house, announcing that she would lose 500 stakes as punishment, and Alane, who also participated in the incident, would lose 200. "
Attention gentlemen! Attention, Mrs. Beatriz, especially Mrs. Beatriz for her attitudes when we have a guest in the house, when we have an artist. You committed a very serious act. You have already been warned several times and you have to control yourself in front of the other people.". It was not the first time that Beatriz was criticized by the public and participants for her exaggerated reactions towards guests in the house. During the weekly party on February 24, she ended up hugging singer
Xande de Pilares several times, in addition to staying on the steps of the stage that the singers use, which is prohibited in the show's rules, with her ignoring all warnings from others housemates for her to come down from the stairs. Later, the production called Beatriz to the Diary Room and drew the housemate's attention, saying that if she exceeded the show's rules again, she could be ejected.
Accusations of partiality in production This season has faced several accusations from the public, allegedly not applying the
principle of equality and treating housemates unequally, which would demonstrate injustice. Some examples illustrate this situation. When Davi Brito expressed his desire to give up the show, the production did not allow it and called him to the Diary Room, something that did not happen with other housemates who walked from the game, such as
Vanessa Lopes, a housemate in the same season as Davi. Subsequently, the conversation between the housemate and director
Boninho was leaked, in which the director convinced Davi to remain in the show and reinforced that he would lose the benefits accumulated throughout the game, such as the scholarship for a university course at
Estácio. A similar case occurred when Leidy Elin Alvarenga requested permission from the production to provoke Davi. The production authorized, except physical contact, and after obtaining approval, Leidy Elin provoked Davi by throwing his clothes into the pool. After the event, Davi, being angry, planned to throw a bucket of water on Leidy Elin while she was sleeping, which could result in his ejection from the show for putting the physical integrity of a fellow prisoner at risk. However, management intervened and prevented Davi from making this decision. The following day, the host
Tadeu Schmidt reprimanded Leidy Elin, stating that her attitude had gone beyond the limits, even though she had received prior authorization from the production. In the same intervention, Tadeu pointed out that Davi's ideas of revenge against the participant also went beyond the limit. Another situation that demonstrated partiality on the part of director Boninho was when he liked a post on
Twitter attacking housemates Leidy Elin and
Yasmin Brunet, while praising Davi. Another controversial episode occurred when
Sabrina Sato visited the housemates in the house and did not treat everyone equally, being accused of partiality with the "Fairies" group, composed of Davi Brito, Beatriz Reis, Matteus Amaral,
Isabelle Nogueira and Alane Dias, leaving the other housemates in the house uncomfortable. with production. On the same day, Fernanda Bande admitted to being upset at not having been noticed by Sabrina Sato, and also reported that Sabrina gave
spoilers about what the repercussions of the game outside the house would be like due to the treatment she received. During her visit to the most watched venue in Brazil, Sato was knocked to the ground by Beatriz — who had already attracted attention for going on stage during the
Xande de Pilares show — and lost 500 stakes. Alane, for having participated in the moment, lost 200 stakes. The fact outraged internet users, since Beatriz had been informed weeks ago that, if her attitude of disrespecting the space of artists and guests were to be repeated, there would be a risk of ejection. == Ratings and reception ==
