As the final of BBB 25 approaches, the competition has intensified with the announcement of the last elimination round. Juliette Freire, the champion of BBB 21, stirred up the social media landscape by expressing her support for actress Vitória Strada, who is facing off against João Pedro and Renata Saldanha in this critical phase of the reality show. The stakes are high as Guilherme secured his place in the top three by winning the final resistance challenge, setting the stage for an electrifying finale on Tuesday, April 23, 2025.
Juliette took to her X profile, stating, "Vitória Strada deserves this final a lot," which ignited a flurry of reactions from fans and followers. While many celebrated her endorsement, others criticized her for backing a contestant from the Camarote group—composed of celebrities—when she herself started as a Pipoca, or anonymous contestant. One user remarked, "Juliette forgot she was a Pipoca and is now fawning over Camarote," while another echoed the sentiment, questioning her loyalty to the show's original format.
The conversation surrounding Juliette's support reflects the ongoing debate among fans about the fairness of the competition. Many are calling for a "raiz" final, advocating for a showdown exclusively between anonymous contestants. Comments such as "If it's based on merit, João and Renata should go to the final. Vitória is a Globo actress!" highlight the division among viewers.
Meanwhile, João Pedro finds himself in a precarious position as he faces elimination just days before the grand finale. According to the latest poll from Ibahia, he is neck and neck with Vitória Strada, and one of them is likely to be voted out on Sunday, April 20, 2025. At just 22 years old, João Pedro has made a significant impact during his time on the show, having been a leader four times, just shy of Maike, who held the title five times.
João Pedro's journey on BBB 25 has been characterized by his strategic gameplay. He has managed to avoid the notorious "Castigo do Monstro" throughout the season, securing immunity for three weeks and demonstrating his ability to navigate the complexities of the game. His humble beginnings as a rodeo lifeguard from Goiás resonate with many viewers, and his heartfelt plea during the show, where he shared his aspirations and background, has endeared him to the audience. "I never imagined I would get this far. I came from a humble family," he said, reflecting on his journey.
As the competition heats up, support for both contestants has been vocal. On Saturday, April 19, 2025, actor Daniel Rocha launched a campaign to keep his girlfriend, Vitória Strada, in the game. He praised her journey, stating, "She has a beautiful trajectory in the program, always respecting everyone with wisdom and bringing lightness, creativity, and joy." Daniel's words echo the sentiments of many fans who have rallied behind Vitória, urging others to vote for her.
In a heartfelt video, Daniel highlighted Vitória's ability to connect with the audience, recalling her iconic moments that have gone viral and her unique fashion choices, like her signature red coat. He emphasized her authenticity, stating, "She lived each second of this program intensely and touched us in a very true and special way. If anyone deserves to be in this final and win this program, it's her." His passionate defense has only added to the growing support for Vitória.
Despite the challenges, Vitória has garnered support from other notable figures, including Juliette and actress Larissa Manoela, both of whom have publicly declared their backing for her. The camaraderie among these contestants has sparked discussions about the dynamics within the house and how they influence public perception.
As the final approaches, Renata Saldanha, another finalist, has also weighed in on Vitória's performance. In a recent conversation, Renata remarked that she has noticed a shift in Vitória's demeanor during the final days of the competition, noting that she seems more spontaneous now than ever before. "I feel you are more spontaneous now, in this final," Renata said, reflecting on their shared experiences in the house.
The upcoming final promises to be an emotional rollercoaster, with fans mobilizing to support their favorites. The tension is palpable as the final elimination looms, and the anticipation builds for the announcement of the winner on April 22, 2025. As viewers prepare for the conclusion of this season's drama, the ultimate question remains: who will claim the title in the grand finale of BBB 25?
