Table of Contents
A wave of outrage swept across social media on Saturday, February 10, as viewers of “Big Brother Brasil 26” demanded the disqualification of contestant Jordana following a physical altercation with fellow housemates Milena and Samira. The hashtag “Jordana expels” quickly became a top trending topic on X, formerly Twitter, reflecting the intensity of the public’s reaction.
The Incident and Immediate Aftermath
The controversy erupted during a heated argument between Jordana and Samira, which escalated to a physical confrontation. According to reports, Jordana pushed both Milena and Samira, prompting accusations that she endangered their physical safety. “He pushed Aunt Milena, he put her integrity at risk, we want expulsion now, Jordana expelled,” one user wrote on X. Another stated, “Jordana is kicked out. She pushes Samira by the hand before pushing Aunt Milena.”
The incident occurred shortly after the preview of a new game dynamic called “Risk Duel,” where contestants identify their preferred opponents for a competitive challenge. The ensuing dispute quickly overshadowed the game itself, focusing instead on Jordana’s actions.
Precedent of Expulsion Fuels Demands
Many viewers pointed to a previous expulsion from the current season as justification for Jordana’s removal. On January 30th, Paulo Augusto was disqualified for endangering the physical integrity of Jonas Sulzbach during a competition for the “Big Fone.” As Tadeu Schmidt, the show’s host, explained at the time, “Today, when Big Fone rang, you ran to answer it and there was physical contact with Jonas. You put his physical integrity at risk. The program’s decision is to disqualify you from Big Brother Brasil. You can leave now.”
This precedent has led many to argue for consistent application of the rules. “Tadeu was very clear when he expelled Paulo Augusto… What if Milena fell and hit her head after that push from Jordana? Absurd!” one commenter exclaimed. Another user succinctly stated, “They set precedents with the expulsion from the PA. So, let’s take advantage of it. Rules are rules. Jordana is expelled.”
The online backlash has been swift and widespread, with users sharing clips of the altercation and demanding action from the show’s producers. The incident has sparked a broader conversation about acceptable behavior within the “Big Brother Brasil” house and the responsibility of the program to ensure the safety of its contestants.

The situation remains fluid as of Saturday evening, with no official announcement yet made regarding Jordana’s status on the show. The coming days will likely determine whether the pressure from viewers will result in a second expulsion this season, further solidifying the program’s stance on physical altercations.
