Big Brother Brasil 11 is 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
