Fortunately no. We researched the history of dozens of reality shows around the world and, as far as we could find out, the most serious event in this type of program happened right here, in Brazil. Do you remember: in January of this year, participant Marielza de Souza Dantas suffered a stroke during Big Brother Brasil 5, fainted on stage and was rushed to a hospital. She escaped the worst, but was replaced on the show. If nothing so serious happened out there, we discovered some scenes that could put its participants to death with embarrassment. Barraco is not lacking – and when it comes to confusion, the absolute leaders are the international versions of Big Brother. In the table below, we selected the worst moments of these programs. There was everything: tray fight, punch in the face, kicks and other lows. It’s been so bad that, in Mexico, the production of the next version of Big Brother has announced that it will punish the contestants who fight with physical punishment. Between us, some brothers are so bad that they really deserve some ear pulling…
ANYTHING GOES
COUNTRY – Portugal
YEAR – 2001
In the first Portuguese version, one of the competitors kicked and punched another in the face. It took production to invade the set to separate the brothers. As the program rule predicts, the bully who started the fight was “kicked” out at the time
PRIVATE LIFE
COUNTRY – United States
YEAR – 2002
One of the Big Brother 2 contestants took her opponent’s toothbrush, cleaned the house’s toilet and then put it back as if nothing had happened. Worried, the program directors warned the poor guy not to use the brush
PORTUGUESE DEPRÊ
COUNTRY – Portugal
YEAR – 2004
This one happened outside the house: penniless three years after winning the first Big Brother, the bankrupt winner attempted suicide, threatening to jump off a bridge in Lisbon. Two days later, he was arrested for running naked in the city.
FLYING TRAYS
COUNTRY – England
YEAR – 2004
In the fifth edition of the program, a girl and a guy got into a fight, throwing trays at each other. As if the flying tableware wasn’t enough, the madwoman jumped on her enemy’s neck and screamed that she was going to kill him. The “leave it” crowd removed the friction
BRITISH PITI
COUNTRY – England
YEAR – 2004
On Big Brother 5, a participant ripped one of the cameras off the wall and started throwing straw over it, insinuating that he was going to barbecue the very expensive equipment. The production had to enter the scene, avoided the fire and threatened the girl with expulsion
