In an electrifying twist on Saturday night, March 22, 2025, Vinícius answered the highly anticipated Big Fone in the popular reality show, Big Brother Brasil 25 (BBB 25). With a decisive move, he nominated contestants Maike and Eva for the upcoming 'paredão,' the elimination round that adds intense pressure to the game.
The Big Fone, an iconic feature of the show, rang loudly, prompting a flurry of excitement among the housemates. As the voice on the other end specified, "Atenção, preste bem atenção! Você deve escolher agora duas pessoas para o paredão. Repetindo, escolha imediatamente duas pessoas para serem emparedadas. Vá até a dispensa, pegue dois braceletes vermelhos e coloque nas duas pessoas escolhidas. Comunique sua decisão a todos apenas se você quiser," Vinícius quickly grasped the gravity of the situation. He set off to retrieve the two red bracelets from the pantry and placed them on Maike and Eva without providing any explanation for his choices.
Vinícius’s action sparked immediate reactions. Upon receiving the red wristbands, Maike mentioned dryly, "Nenhuma novidade, né?" showing that the house's tension had been an ever-present factor leading up to this moment. Rival groups had been strategizing for the chance to answer the Big Fone, each hoping to gain control over the nominations.
This week's events have been particularly dramatic, with Renata emerging as the new leader, decisively shifting the power dynamics within the house. She had previously won the Leader's Test, which allowed her to select her targeted players for the competition. Among those are Delma, who recently won the 'Poder Curinga' (Curing Power). This power, referred to this week as 'Poder Marreta,' gives her the ability to save one of the two contestants nominated by the Big Fone, significantly complicating the situation for Vinícius and his selections.
As Delma prepares to wield her newfound power, João Gabriel also stands out this week. He won the Angel Test, granting him the ability to immunize one participant from the impending 'paredão.' This advantage guarantees that tensions among housemates will continue to escalate leading towards the Sunday elimination.
The official structure of the 'paredão' this week will be determined by several factors. Renata’s selections, in addition to the two contestants nominated via the Big Fone (Maike and Eva), and another two contestants voted out by the housemates, set the stage for one of the most critical elimination rounds so far. To add another layer, one housemate will be saved by the 'Prova Bate Volta' (Back and Forth Test), which takes place ahead of the vote on Tuesday, March 26, 2025.
As the competition unfolds, suspense and strategies will continue to affect the dynamics within the house. The ramifications of Renata’s leading position, coupled with the uncertainty surrounding who Delma and João Gabriel will decide to protect or seal fates for, indicates that the upcoming days will be pivotal for all involved.
This weekend's results from the Big Fone episode once more highlight why BBB 25 remains one of Brazil’s most watchable reality shows, drawing viewers into its intricate web of alliances, tactics, and the ever-present threat of elimination.
