Twelve contestants were chosen by the producers to participate on the show between October and November 2001.
The two initial tribes were Água (Water) and Fogo (Fire).
On the season finale, the second-to-last immunity challenge divided the players in two teams.
However, the last six eliminated players before the final two (Cláudia, Diuare, Fábio, Rodrigo, Peterson and Adriana) returned to compete in a special challenge.
Weeks later, on 23 December 2001, live from Rio de Janeiro, police officer Rodrigo Trigueiro was announced as the winner of the competition, winning R$300,000 and a brand new car.
