Big Brother Brasil 20
Big Brother Brasil 20 is the twentieth season of "Big Brother Brasil" which premiered on January 21, 2020 on the Rede Globo.
The show is produced by Endemol Shine and presented by Tiago Leifert.
The grand prize is R$1.5 million with tax allowances, plus a R$150.000 prize offered to the runner-up and a R$50.000 prize offered to the housemate in third place.
The season originally featured 18 housemates divided into two groups of 9: "Celebrities", composed of actors, singers, professional athletes and social media personalities, and "Civilians", composed of everyday Brazilians.
On week 2, 4 new housemates entered the game as part of a twist, bringing the number of housemates up to 22.
In order to celebrate the show's 20th season anniversary, competitions and twists from previous seasons will be revived and scattered again this year.
This is going to be the longest season of the franchise ever.
This season, each housemate will be able to use a cellphone to capture moments in the house during a time determined by production.
The cell phone will only allow them to post photos and videos to #FeedBBB and see what other housemates are saying about each other.
It will not allow contact with the outside world.
Along with it's regular powers, this season the HoH will also be tasked with splitting their housemates into haves and have-nots as well as choosing what and how much each group will be eating.
This HoH will also be awarded their own private party at the end of their HoH reign.
On day 1, 18 housemates entered the Big Brother house, divided by a wall with Celebrities on one side and Civilians on the other.
The two groups were not able to see each other until the end of night 2, after the wall fell.
Twist introduced in "Big Brother Brasil 9".
Each week, two nominated housemates (either by a House vote or a voting twist) compete against each other for one last chance to save themselves from the block.
Housemates nominated by the HoH are not eligible to compete and are sent straight to the public vote.
A re-worked version of a twist featured in the first week of "Big Brother Brasil 18".
On day 12, four additional housemates entered the Glass house where the public voted for two of them (one man and one woman) to move into the main House.
Twist introduced in "Big Brother Brasil 9", re-used in "Big Brother Brasil 11" (featuring the first five evicted housemates from that season) and "Big Brother Brasil 13".
Once in a while, the Big Phone rings, unleashing good or bad consequences on the nomination process for those who decide to answer it.
Twist introduced in "Big Brother Brasil 8", permanent from then onwards.
At the beggining of each week, the previous Head of Household is given the opportunity to disqualify some housemates from competing in the upcoming HoH competition.

A Show of Hands (TV series)
A Show of Hands is a series of short films created by puppeteer Tim Lagasse for Nickelodeon.
It was a predecessor to the television program "Oobi".
Each film is about one minute long and follows personified hands as they perform a small skit or a visual illusion.
The series started airing on Nickelodeon as an interstitial program in 1992, and reruns were shown through 1997.
The title is a reference to the phrase "show of hands," used literally to refer to a television show about hands.
Lagasse wrote, directed, and performed "A Show of Hands" at the University of Connecticut while earning his BFA in Puppet Arts.
The series was shot in black and white, with the exception of the vanity card that appears at the end of each film.
After the conclusion of the series, Lagasse went to work as a director and performer on Nickelodeon's "Oobi", which features similar bare hand puppets as characters.
His work on "A Show of Hands" was what led to him being cast on "Oobi".
The films were positively received and won awards from UNIMA and Broadcast Design International.
In 2001, Lagasse began performing an extended live version of the "Show of Hands" skits at the HERE Arts Center in New York.
The films follow a similar format and include recurring elements.
Each film opens with seven white-gloved hands forming a cartoonish face that announces, "And now, Nickelodeon presents "A Show of Hands"."
The hands disperse and present the main part of the short.
It involves individual hands silently acting out skits.
Once the short finishes, an audience of hands gives a big round of applause.
The films close with a shot of the Nickelodeon logo on a hand painted orange.
The films were produced and shot at the University of Connecticut.
They were made in 1991.
The series' opening sequence was filmed entirely under blacklight; the performers wore blacklight-reactive white gloves and dark clothing to create the illusion of hands floating through space.
In the shorts proper, the background was also entirely black, but the puppeteers' hands were bare and certain set pieces were made visible through the use of followspots on particular stage areas.
According to Lagasse, the films were "based on earlier work."
In 1992, "The New York Times" reported that MTV had expressed interest in airing the series.
MTV's parent company, Viacom, acquired the films but aired them on its children's network Nickelodeon instead.
A Nickelodeon vanity card (shot in color, unlike the rest of the segments) was created for the films after Nick acquired them.
They premiered as an interstitial program in 1992, and reruns were shown through 1997.
They were also aired internationally, including on the Australian branch of Nickelodeon in 2000.
On November 16, 2001, Lagasse debuted an extended live version of "A Show of Hands" at the HERE Arts Center in New York City.
Unlike in the television version, Lagasse was the sole performer and did not use gloves.
Each performance lasted one hour and incorporated a blend of new material and techniques from the original films.
