About BBB 26
BBB 26 debuted this Monday (12). The public, already accustomed to the presence of Pipocas (anonymous) and Camarotes (famous), this time was introduced to a new group: Veterans, who have already participated in previous editions.
The members of the Pipoca group were chosen by public vote. In total, there were five Glass Houses, which had four participants each, two men and two women.
From this, a vote was started to define which candidates should officially enter BBB 26. In the end, one man and one woman were chosen from each Casa de Vidro, resulting in ten participants in the group. Find out who all the members of the Pipoca group are.
Subscribers to Globoplay will have access to 12 signals with simultaneous transmission — Mosaico BBB gains a new functionality. In addition to registering participants in each room, it will also be possible to select the camera audio that the viewer wants to follow.
Responsible for delivering memorable moments throughout confinement, the house will, in 2026, have three Big Fones spread across the area. The public will even be able to choose which one will play.
