In a dramatic turn of events during the latest episode of Big Brother Brasil 25, João Pedro Siqueira became the second contestant to withdraw from the highly anticipated Prova do Líder on Friday, April 18, 2025. This challenge, which is crucial for contestants aiming for a spot in the final, saw João Pedro struggling with severe leg pain, prompting him to seek pain medication from the show's production team.
After his withdrawal, João Pedro shared his discomfort with fellow contestant Vitória Strada, who also exited the competition due to similar issues. "My legs are all hurting," he told Vitória, who asked if he had requested anything from the production. "I asked for pain medication," he replied, highlighting the physical toll the competition had taken on the participants.
As João Pedro and Vitória stepped down, Guilherme Albuquerque emerged victorious in the Prova do Líder, securing his place in the final. Alongside him, Renata Saldanha also remained in the competition until she ultimately succumbed to exhaustion and withdrew around 11 AM. The results of the challenge have sparked significant reactions online, with many fans calling for Guilherme to be disqualified amid allegations of unfair advantage.
Just moments before the challenge began, viewers noticed Guilherme putting on a thermal shirt, raising suspicions that he had prepared for the grueling task. This has led to a wave of criticism on social media, with users labeling him a "cheater" and demanding a review of the results. One user tweeted, "Not just Renata's fans are upset; all fans are outraged by the advantage Guilherme has taken. It's disrespectful to the other contestants and the audience!" Another chimed in, stating, "I found the video where he puts on the thermal shirt! That's why he never went to the car, while Renata struggled with her mouth all bruised; it's so unfair!"
The Prova do Líder consisted of a resistance test where contestants had to stand on a rotating platform, with the opportunity to rest in a car for five minutes when the platform stopped at a specific totem. The challenge lasted an impressive 12 hours, ending at approximately 11 AM. Despite the physical demands, Guilherme's performance has been met with scrutiny and accusations of manipulation.
Diego Hypolito was eliminated from the competition the previous evening, on April 17, 2025, after receiving 59.77% of the votes against Renata Saldanha's 39.26% and Vitória Strada's 0.97%. His departure marked a significant moment in the competition as the remaining contestants prepared for the final voting, set to open on Sunday, April 20, 2025.
As the drama unfolded, Tadeu Schmidt, the show's host, addressed the contestants and the audience, emphasizing the challenge's difficulty and the emotional weight of the eliminations. He stated, "When I finish, we will be four. It’s almost cruel to realize that one of you will not be among the four." His poignant remarks resonated with viewers, highlighting the intense competition and emotional stakes involved.
With Guilherme now positioned as a frontrunner for the final, the remaining contestants, João Pedro, Renata, and Vitória, will face off in the last Paredão before the grand finale. The final decision regarding who will win Big Brother Brasil 25 will be announced live on April 22, 2025, as the audience eagerly awaits the outcome.
As the competition heats up, fans are left to speculate about the implications of Guilherme's alleged actions and the potential fallout from the accusations of cheating. The social media buzz continues to grow, with many calling for accountability and fairness in the game. Whether Guilherme's victory will stand remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the drama of Big Brother Brasil never fails to captivate its audience.
