The anticipation for the next season of Brazil's most-watched reality show, Big Brother Brasil (BBB), is heating up as the current season approaches its finale. Tadeu Schmidt, the host of BBB 25, announced on April 17, 2025, that registrations for BBB 26 are officially open, sparking excitement among fans and potential contestants alike.
As the curtain draws near on the current season, which concludes on April 22, 2025, the network is already gearing up for the next installment. According to columnist Carla Bittencourt, there are discussions about potentially phasing out the 'Camarote' group, which typically includes celebrities, in favor of a fresh approach that may see ex-BBBs competing alongside new, unknown participants.
"Big Brother Brasil operates in cycles, and the celebrity format may have run its course," Bittencourt noted. She emphasized that these conversations are still in the early stages and no final decisions have been made.
The current season, which has captivated audiences for 100 days, will crown its winner on April 22, who will walk away with a prize of R$ 2,720,000. The final four contestants are set to compete in the Finalist Test, a challenge designed to test their endurance, before the remaining three face one last elimination on April 20.
In a lighter moment during the show, Schmidt welcomed Daniele Hypolito to the stage, highlighting the significant height difference between the host, who stands at 1.92 m, and the gymnast, who measures just 1.47 m. This moment quickly became a topic of conversation on social media, with viewers commenting on the duo's contrasting heights.
As for those eager to join the next season, the registration process involves a few straightforward steps. Interested applicants must visit the official Gshow website, where they will need to select their region and fill out a detailed questionnaire about themselves. It’s crucial for participants to submit high-quality photos and videos to make a strong impression.
After submitting their applications, candidates will undergo a selection process that includes both virtual and in-person interviews. The production team will reach out to applicants via their provided contact information, so it’s essential to keep an eye on emails, particularly those from the official domain @castitreach.com.
With the excitement building around the upcoming season, potential contestants are encouraged to act quickly, as spots tend to fill up rapidly. As Schmidt playfully urged viewers, "If you want to enter the most watched house in Brazil and are ready to play for a million-dollar prize, don’t waste any time!"
As the current season wraps up, fans are left wondering what changes await in BBB 26. Will the show return to its roots with a fresh cast of ordinary people, or will it continue to feature the celebrity-driven format that has defined recent seasons? Only time will tell.
In the meantime, the final days of BBB 25 promise to deliver plenty of drama and excitement, culminating in a grand finale that fans won’t want to miss. With the stakes higher than ever, viewers are eagerly awaiting to see who will take home the coveted prize and how the next season will unfold.
