Poll Shows Who Fans Want Out of Brazilian Reality Show "A Fazenda 18"
Listen to the story
A Fazenda 18 is a well-known Brazilian reality show where contestants live together on a farm and compete to avoid being voted out.
Each week, the public votes to decide which contestant must leave. This process is called an elimination.
The entertainment website F5 has created a poll that tracks public opinion about who should be eliminated next.
According to an updated version of the poll, there has been a reviravolta, or sudden change, in the results for the elimination round known as the roça.
The roça is the name given to the group of contestants who are at risk of being voted off the show.
Renê Thristan, who became the third contestant eliminated from this season, has spoken about his experience on the program.
He faced a challenge known as the Celeiro da Verdade, which translates to "Barn of Truth."
This part of the show is known for being emotionally difficult, as it often involves contestants confronting hard truths or disagreements with each other.
The poll's changing numbers suggest that viewers may be shifting their opinion about who deserves to stay on the show.
As the elimination night approaches, fans are closely following the F5 poll to guess who will be the next person sent home.
A Fazenda is one of Brazil's most-watched reality competitions, and public polls like this one often generate significant discussion on social media.
