SofáZenda
The comedian Márvio Lúcio, known as Carioca, hosts "SofáZenda," a segment set in a fixed scenario simulating a TV room. With a good dose of humor and relaxation, Carioca follows everything that happens in the confinement, commenting and cheering like a viewer, occasionally interacting with Adriane Galisteu when appropriate. In "SofáZenda," the comedian plays himself and also his wife in a sketch where the two characters talk about the week's events in the reality show.[5][6]
Cabine de Descompressão
The fifteenth season of A Fazenda features the Cabine de Descompressão (Decompression Booth), exclusively available to PlayPlus subscribers. In this segment, Lucas Maciel interviews the eliminated contestant of the week just minutes after their eviction, questioning them about their actions, showing videos from the confinement, and discussing the public's reaction on social media.[7][8]
Controversies
Accusations of Homophobia
During the formation of the second Roça on 3 October 2023, and the following day, Cariúcha and Yuri Meirelles used homophobic terms to refer to Lucas Souza during arguments.[9][10][11][12] The incident caused outrage on social media, with calls for Yuri's expulsion and the deactivation of Cariúcha's official Instagram profile.[13][14] During the live broadcast of the week's Farmer's Test, Adriane Galisteu condemned homophobia without mentioning the participant, emphasizing the unacceptability of prejudice, with a threat of expulsion for persistent behavior.[15]
Contestants
The celebrities were officially revealed by RecordTV on September 14, 2023.[16][17]
This season, 10 celebrities (7 former reality show contestants and 3 digital influencers from Kwai, one of the sponsors from this season) enter the Warehouse to compete in a public vote for the final 4 spots (2 men and 2 women) in the Farm, bringing the total number of contestants up to 22.[18][19]
Pessoa and Haghbin previously appeared in A Fazenda 10 and A Fazenda 14 respectively. Both were ejected after aggressive behaviours. Nadja finished in 10th place, while Haghbin shared 16th-15th place with Tiago Ramos.[20]
Each week, contestants (determined by a random draw) compete in the Fire challenge to win the Lamp power. The Lamp power entitles the holder two flames (white and orange), which may unleash good or bad consequences on the nomination process, with the orange flame power defined by the public through the show's profile on Kwai among two options.
The winner chooses a flame for itself and delegates which contestant holds the other. The Flame holder's choice is marked in bold.
