In 2024, BBB24 stirred Brazil with conflicts that went viral and dominated social media. Participants like Davi, Fernanda, Alane, and Wanessa Camargo starred in memorable clashes, turning phrases like “cry, little doll” and “calm down, calabreso” into true cultural phenomena. These fights, which happened over the more than three months of confinement, not only defined the house’s dynamics but also generated massive audience engagement, cementing the season as one of the most talked-about in the reality show’s history.
Therefore, in January 2026, these moments remain vivid in fans’ memories, serving as a true portrait of the highs and lows of a reality show. The relevance of these clashes goes beyond entertainment, as they catalyzed discussions about behavior, respect, and interpersonal relationships, reflecting, in a way, social dynamics observed outside of TV. Thus, the fights became the narrative fuel that kept millions of Brazilians glued to the screen, episode after episode.
The Clashes That Defined a Season
Among the many conflicts, some stand out for their intensity and consequences. Right at the beginning, the argument between Nizam and Vanessa Lopes, which culminated in Alane fainting, already signaled the electrifying atmosphere in the house. However, it was the confrontation between Fernanda and Alane in the gym that gave one of the biggest catchphrases of the year. While Alane criticized Fernanda’s character, the response came in the form of mockery: “Are you going to cry? Cry, little doll!”. This heated exchange not only divided the house but also exploded on Twitter timelines.
Furthermore, the feud between Davi and Lucas, which popularized the term “calabreso,” showed how a simple misunderstanding can become a national case. Davi had to explain that the word was a “joke,” inherited from comedian Toninho Tornado, but the confusion was already made. On the other hand, the conflict that led to Wanessa Camargo’s disqualification had greater weight. After a series of disagreements, the singer called Davi a “brat” and, in a subsequent act, tried to wake him up by hitting his foot, which resulted in her expulsion from the show. This episode generated heated debates about the limits of conflict within a reality show.
The final moments of the show were also marked by heated discussions. The fight between Davi and MC Bin Laden, which almost came to blows and required production intervention, and the misunderstanding between Davi and Beatriz, then allies, in the final stretch, proved that even the most solid friendships were tested in the heat of competition. Therefore, even two years later, BBB24 remains an example of how conflicts, when authentic, can shape a reality show’s narrative and create a legacy of memes and discussions that go beyond the television screen.
