Anamara
A request for exemption was made on January 29, 2010 from housemate Anamara Barreira to the State Military Police was accepted and the decision was published on February 23, 2010 in the Official Gazette of Bahia. Anamara should have returned from her vacation earlier this month. Without the exemption, she would be considered a deserter and could be imprisoned for up to two years. The application was lodged by the procurator of Anamara, Amanda Miller. According to Amanda, Anamara left an attorney before entering the house to the application for exemption from the corporation could be done. With the letter of resignation Anamara could not be considered a defector.Dourado
Dourado caused disagreements and controversies by displaying manjis in a tattoo on his left arm, which were taken to be swastikas. He was also accused of homophobic behavior by some LGBT organizations. Dourado's adviser, Aline Antonoff, issued a press release, in which she stated that the tattoo differs from the Nazi swastika, because it is reversed, and has no connection with it, since the symbol belongs to several cultures. She also denied that the fighter is homophobic.Elenita
After recording a post-elimination interview with Elenita for a spin-off show broadcast by cable channel Multishow, Season 7 winner and main host Diego Gasques criticized the former housemate on his Twitter account, commenting that the two had a fight and she was a disgusting and low level woman. Later, he deleted the post, but kept posting sarcastic comments about her.A week after the incident, Season 9 runner-up Priscila Pires took over hosting duties from him to interview the last evicted housemate at the time, Angélica Marques.
