The excitement and tension ramped up again at the Big Brother Brasil 25 house as the infamous Big Fone rang late at night on September 22. Diogo Almeida, one of the more noticeable figures this season, was quick on the draw, answering the call and immediately landing himself on the Paredão, the show’s notorious elimination list, alongside Thamiris, the contestant he chose to nominate.
The ramifications of this momentous decision sparked extensive discussion among the housemates. Shortly after the event, Diego Hypolito and Guilherme voiced their disbelief over Diogo's strategy during the early hours of September 23. Guilherme expressed confusion over Diogo's choice, stating, "Não deixa de ser uma das pessoas dos embates dele, mas, eu imaginava, posso estar imaginando errado, que a Thamiris estava entre os três... embates que ele têm com Gra, Camilla e Thamiris, mas a Thamiris estava em último." This comment encapsulated the uncertainty and frustration surrounding Diogo’s choice, as both friends questioned his judgement and strategy.
While multiple housemates gathered to hear Diogo's announcement of his decision, it became apparent there were mixed feelings. Diego suggested Diogo might be taking many risks with his vote. “Acho que um grande perigo. Por exemplo, se Camilla for para o Paredão, acho que ele sai,” he warned, highlighting the balancing act of alliances and rivalries innate to the game.
Answering the call of the Big Fone, Diogo had made his choice, but his explanation about why he didn’t nominate the strong player Camilla raised eyebrows. When pressed by fellow contestant Vilma, he justified his decision citing Camilla's unique position as she had the "Poder do Sim ou Não" (Power of Yes or No). "Ela tem o Poder do Sim ou Não, não sei se eu ia jogar fora, vai que eu falo ela, ela fala: 'Não aceito', e ela continua com poder de colocar pela casa," Diogo explained. Clearly, there was more at stake than mere nominations; players had to evaluate not just their personal strategies but also the underlying powers and alliances at work.
Following Diogo’s announcement, Thamiris had her own thoughts to share about being pulled onto the Paredão alongside him. She flatly stated her intentions, saying, "Quero mais é que saia, papo reto. Tomara que nesse Bate-Volta não tenha sorte e que saia." This blunt remark showed she was not planning on sugar-coasting her feelings about their situation. Her displeasure suggested there might be underlying tensions brewing between her and Diogo, possibly influencing how future evictions might pan out.
The chatter continued throughout the night as the housemates positioned themselves for what could be either explosive or collaborative dynamics moving forward. Camilla was seen emotionally confiding to Aline about feeling out of her depth, saying, "Acho você muito inteligente, acho vocês muito preparados. Eu me sinto despreparada porque aqui, eu só sou eu.” It was clear the pressure was weighing on everyone, and tensions may spike as each contestant learned how to play this multifaceted game of alliances, betrayals, and unexpected twists.
With the Paredão set to finalize on September 23, the housemates will soon have their success dependent upon unique strategies and collaboration. Diogo’s bold move sets the tone for potential shifts and surprises as alliances may need to adapt quickly to rolling changes within the house.
Regardless of how this year's season of BBB 25 progresses, incidents like the Big Fone nomination reshuffle alliances and friendships daily. The dynamics of the game shift constantly, fostering friendships and rivalries alike. Who will rise above the chaos, and who will fall prey to the unforeseen twists of Big Brother? The answer, as always, lies within the walls of the house, where everyday social interactions take on heightened significance.
