Big Brother Brasil 26 placed nine participants in one of the most anticipated dynamics by the Brazilian public: the White Room. The challenge, which began on the night of Monday, January 12, 2026, aims to select the last two members who will enter the main house of the TV Globo reality show. The relevance of the moment is high, as the extreme confinement tests the psychological resilience of the candidates and defines the complete cast of the season, which promises to stir up social media and fan bets.
The confined participants are all those who went through the Glass Houses but were not directly chosen for the main house. However, the competition has already had its first casualty: Ricardinho, representing the North region, abandoned the challenge after just 12 hours. His exit happened due to a series of controversial attitudes, such as preventing other brothers from sleeping, wasting the water supply, and making comments considered unpleasant. As a result, eight people remain in the competition for two spots, in an endurance test that has already surpassed 40 hours.
What to expect from the upcoming moments in the White Room
The White Room dynamic functions as an elimination marathon. Participants remain confined in a white, minimalist environment, without distractions, until only two remain. The psychological pressure is intense, and each person’s strategy becomes crucial. Meanwhile, the public follows everything live on BBB 26 on Globoplay and social media, where the brothers’ names spark heated debates. The expectation is that the next few hours will be decisive, with more dropouts likely due to extreme tiredness and mental fatigue.
The winner of this stage not only secures their spot in the main house but also gains immediate prominence with the public. Thus, the White Room competition is already proving to be a barometer for the alliances and conflicts that are set to define BBB 26. With the full cast soon to be complete, the 2026 edition promises to bring all the emotions and twists that have established the show as a cultural phenomenon in Brazil.
