Two BBB 26 contestants were released by Globo to attend the Rio Carnival parades on Sunday night. Gabi and Chaiany, selected by the angel proof winner, will be in an isolated structure at Sapucaí. The initiative is part of a partnership with sponsor Mercado Pago.
Two BBB 26 participants will temporarily swap confinement for Rio de Janeiro's Carnival. According to Lucas Pasin's column in Metrópoles, the reality show's production allowed Gabi and Chaiany to attend the Marquês de Sapucaí during the first night of Grupo Especial parades on Sunday (15/2).
Gabi, the week's angel proof winner, chose Chaiany to join her. They will leave the house directly for the Sambódromo, with arrival expected between 1 a.m. and 1:30 a.m. The visit is part of a commercial action tied to Mercado Pago, a Grupo Mercado Livre company sponsoring both the reality and the Sapucaí parades.
To ensure isolation, an unprecedented structure was set up: a suspended platform in sector 9, 25 meters high, lifted by a crane. This setup allows the participants to watch the parades without public contact or external spoiler risks, providing a different view of the Samba Runway.
