Big Brother Brasil 11 was the eleventh season of Big Brother Brasil, which premiered January 11, 2011, with the season finale airing March 29, 2011, on the Rede Globo television network.
The show is produced by Endemol Globo and presented by news reporter Pedro Bial. The season was officially confirmed since 2008 as part of a millionaire contract between international Endemol and Rede Globo. The prize award will be R$1,500,000 without tax allowances.
Actress Maria Melillo won the competition and the grand prize of R$1,500,000, while runner-up Wesley Schunk and third-place finisher Daniel Rolim walked away with R$150,000 and R$50,000 respectively.
Production
Cast
Applications were due by September 10, 2010 until October 31, 2010. Initially, the process was set to start September 1, 2010 but was postponed to avoid an eventual confusion with the premiere of the second season of Hipertensão, another Rede Globo reality television show.
Semi-finalist interviews were held in November 2010 and the final casting interviews took place in early December 2010. There were nineteen housemates competing for the grand prize: ten women and nine men.
The first housemate, a woman, was officially chosen on October 10, 2010, but did not have their identity revealed. Producers reported that she was chosen in virtual chat, which happened at the show's official website. VH1's alumni Marcia Brazil from Rock of Love Bus with Bret Michaels, Charm School with Ricki Lake and I Love Money has also applied to be on the show.
The House
According to the producers, the Big Brother House passed by the biggest reform in history, with the entire structure being redesigned for the new season.
Big Brother divided the housemates into four teams. Two of them (the Orange team and the Green team) enjoyed the luxury and comfort of the new mansion, which had two floors. The other two teams (the Red team and the Blue team) stayed in the other side, which lack beds, food and structure for any activity.
At the end of the week five, the teams dissolved, and the remaining twelve housemates were divided into two groups, one would live at the Rich House and the other would have to live at the Poor House.
The Game
Saboteur Each week, one of the housemates is chosen by internet poll to be the Big Brother Saboteur. The saboteur had the goal to disrupt life in the House and cause as much havoc as possible. The production crew chooses the mission, and if the saboteur does it successfully, he/she would win R$10,000.

This time, the house confined the first five evicted housemates (Ariadna, Mauricio, Rodrigo, Michelly and Igor) for a new shot to win the game. The public had to choose just one of the contestant to return to the program. Mauricio was elected and returned to the game on day 27.

Horror Room
On day 42, as common on Monday nights, there was a joke. The consequence for the most voted housemates in it (Diana, Paula) was to face the Horror room. In this room, they should find two keys, among two thousands scattered in the floor, that would open the two existing locks. Diana and Paula should compete that mission in 10 hours. If they could not perform it, they should decide which of the two would be the first nominated. If they did not, this week's HoH (in this case, Maria) would decide which of them would be nominated. For the housemates in the house, host Pedro Bial said that each side of the house (main house and poor house) should come to a consensus and choose which ones would offer to be nominated. Talula volunteered to be the choice from main house and Janaina volunteered to be from the poor house. If girls in the Horror room concluded the task, they should choose either Janaina and Talula to be nominated. After about an hour and a half, Diana and Paula were able to complete the mission and were released from the room. Later, they decided to nominate Janaina.
Double Eviction Night
The first round of nominations in the third week featured the second double eviction in Big Brother Brasil history, with a female and a male evictees leaving the House on day 20. Housemates Michelly and Rodrigo were both eliminated in a surprise eviction, after losing individual mas first implemented on the third season of the show.
On day 43, Big Brother bosses have revealed that two of week 7's three nominated housemates would leave the house in another double eviction, which took place on day 50 in a regular eviction night. Diogo and Janaina, who received the highest percentages of the public vote (44% and 33% respectively) were both eliminated in a match against Paula. This concept is a first in the Brazilian series.
Housemates The cast list was unveiled on January 4, 2011.
