Tamires Assis, the former cowgirl who stirred up A Fazenda 17 on Record, decided to face the confinement this year of 2026 with a clear goal: to rewrite her own narrative. For a long time seen only as the ex-girlfriend of Davi Brito, champion of BBB 24, the woman from Manaus accepted the challenge of the rural reality show so the public could get to know her for real, and not for a past relationship. The experience, which peaked in recent months, was worth every moment of tension, even without winning the R$ 2 million prize.
In an exclusive interview, Tamires details what it was like to accept the invitation, which even caused hesitation. She says the opportunity arose as a unique chance to break free from a stereotype and show her intense personality to Brazilians. Her participation, therefore, was a strategic image move, but also a journey of self-discovery full of ups and downs inside the farm.
The Backstage of the Decision and the Challenges Within the Game
Despite the strong motivation, Tamires admits she even thought about turning down the show’s direction. The fear of exposure and doubts about the right timing weighed on her, but the regret of missing the chance spoke louder. “I think worse than entering a reality show is entering and not allowing yourself to live the experience,” she reflects, emphasizing that she gave herself completely. However, this total surrender came at an emotional price inside the confinement, where some fellow players noticed her vulnerability and used it against her in clear attempts to destabilize her.
Even with accumulated exhaustion and daily pressure, the woman from Manaus makes it clear that giving up was never a seriously considered option. She faced the conflicts, rewatched the scenes with different eyes, and now analyzes everything with more clarity. The big question that remains is: would she do it all again? The answer is not a simple yes or no. Tamires says it depends on the moment in life, but leaves the door open, showing that the experience, although intense, was transformative. Thus, her time on A Fazenda goes far beyond a mere reality show; it was a personal battle for identity and recognition.
