Big Brother Verão 2026 eliminations

Entities: TVI · Big Brother Verão · Raquel · Portugal · Íris

Overview

The 2026 season of Portugal’s “Big Brother Verão” on TVI began with a surprise gala on 7 July. Contestants selected four “invisible” housemates—Íris, Pedro, Vanessa and João Gomes—for a public vote. Vanessa was saved, followed by Íris, and the audience chose to eliminate João Gomes, whose mother was shown in tears. João later discussed his exit on the talk‑show “Dois às 10”.

The season’s elimination pattern continued, and on 26 July contestant Íris was the sixth participant to leave after receiving only 13 % of the vote. She thanked viewers and expressed disappointment at departing early. Commentary following her exit highlighted the week’s house dynamics, alliances and rivalries among the remaining contestants.
