Production
[edit]Cast
[edit]Casting and production started in March 2010. Applications were due by May 3, 2010, until June 3, 2010. Ultimately, twelve contestants were chosen by the producers to participate the show between July and October 2010.[2]
The bus
[edit]During three months, the bus traveled for 11 different Brazilian states, covering about 4,000 miles and stopping in 14 cities.[3]
Format
[edit]Busão do Brasil is a reality television show created by Endemol, in which a group of people live together in a large and luxury bus, isolated from the outside world but continuously watched by television cameras.
The series lasted for around three months, where the contestants tried to win a cash prize by avoiding periodic evictions from the bus.
Voting format
[edit]Each week the public makes the nominations. On Friday night, the lines are temporarily frozen and the three highest rated contestants are revealed to the public, while only clues to the nominated candidates are given to contestants. Then, the lines are re-opened until Tuesday night, where the three contestants who received the most votes throughout the week face the elimination.
Contestants
[edit]On Day 1, twenty-four hopefuls arrived at the entrance of the bus. Only eleven contestants were selected to enter out of all candidates. The twelfth contestant was selected by a special vote, in which the eleven contestants vote for one of the thirteen that were not originally chosen. A new contestant, Teca, entered the bus on Day 47.
