Four Contestants Face Elimination in Brazilian TV Show 'A Fazenda 18'
Listen to the story
Four contestants are facing elimination on the Brazilian reality show "A Fazenda 18." Their names are Darlin, Giovanna, Maíra and Ana Bruna.
The show follows a group of people living together on a farm. Each week, the group votes to send someone to the elimination round, known in Portuguese as "Roça."
This was the sixth "Roça" of the season. It took place on Tuesday, the 28th of October.
Giovanna, one of the nominees, spoke in defence of her alliance, called "Alcateia." She responded after receiving a vote from fellow contestant Maíra.
Giovanna insisted that her group had not been dishonest, saying, "We don't lie." Her comment suggests some tension between the contestants over trust and loyalty.
With four people now facing possible elimination, viewers are waiting to see which contestant will leave the house this week.
The show continues to update fans with daily information, including schedules and details about how each "Roça" is formed.
