The season is officially confirmed since March 2012 as part of a millionaire contract between international Endemol and Rede Globo, which guaranteed the show's rights until 2016.

Fitness model Vanessa Mesquita won the competition over lawyer Angela Munhoz and cam-girl Clara Aguilar with 53% of the final vote.

[5] A plot line on Rede Globo's primetime telenovela Amor à Vida, involved the character of Valdirene (Tatá Werneck) becoming a Big Brother Brasil housemate.

In the series, having dreamed of competing on the show, Valdirene ends up in a fake Glass house with Murilo (Emílio Orciollo Neto) and Jefferson (Celso Bernini).

[6] The trio was joined by blonde bombshell Ellen (Dani Vieira), who instantly became Val's greatest enemy.

[8] Valdirene entered the actual Big Brother house on January 15, 2014, and her journey can be described as an emotional rollercoaster.

Real footage of Valdirene in the house aired on the same day during episode 208 of Amor à Vida, with Tatá Werneck's improvisation acting skills being heavily praised by the critics and the public.

On day 57, due to Aline's eviction, her mother Ledi, who was the relative most popular among viewers, had to leave the house too.
