Carina Ribeiro criticises TVI over entry of Angolan contestant Tatiana in Big Brother Summer 2026

Former Secret Story 9 participant Carina Ribeiro publicly attacked TVI’s production choices after the launch of Big Brother Summer 2026 on 27 June. She objected to the inclusion of Tatiana, a 45‑year‑old Angolan entrepreneur who previously finished second in Big Brother Africa 2007, arguing that the season was promoted as an anonymous format and that Tatiana’s prior reality‑show experience undermines that premise. Ribeiro posted on social media questioning the fairness of the decision, saying, “It’s not very fair to let Tatiana, who has already been on reality shows in other countries, enter this supposedly anonymous version.” The criticism highlights tension over casting decisions for the Portuguese reality‑TV franchise.
