BBB 26: Sarah Andrade leads as favorite after first elimination

**Sarah Andrade** emerges as the public’s top favorite on **Big Brother Brasil 26**, according to the latest update from the UOL Poll, consulted this Saturday, January 24, 2026. The information gains prominence right after the first elimination of the season, which happened last Tuesday (01/20) and resulted in the departure of Aline Campos, with 61.64% of the votes. This data is relevant because it signals the first trends in fan support and could influence the strategies inside Brazil’s most watched house, which has a record-breaking prize of R$ 3 million at stake.

As a result of the public vote, Aline left the show after an Eviction that also put Milena (32.50%) and Ana Paula (5.86%) at risk. However, the game’s dynamics are already starting to reconfigure. The poll, which serves as a thermometer for external support, shows Sarah Andrade consolidating a significant lead with 26.51% of voting intentions, while Ana Paula appears in second place, with 21.19%. Thus, the first days of the reality show, which premiered on January 12 on TV Globo, are already defining the first names in the public’s sights and hearts.

## Complete ranking and perspectives

Besides the two leaders, third place in the popularity ranking went to Alberto Cowboy, who captured 10.44% of the public’s preference. On the other hand, participants Brigido, Maxiane, and Samira appear at the bottom of the poll, all with less than 0.2% of the votes. This initial disparity, however, can change radically. After all, the upcoming leader competitions, Eviction formations, and conflicts inside the house are factors that traditionally revolutionize fan opinion week by week.

The 2026 season promises to keep the audience on alert with new dynamics and even greater integration with digital platforms. Therefore, while the UOL Poll remains open for new votes, the game inside BBB 26 continues at full steam. The question that remains is: will Sarah be able to maintain the lead, or will we see a new turnaround in the coming weeks? The answer, as always, depends on the housemates and the reactions of the Brazilian public, which dictates the pace of the country’s most talked-about reality show.
