 (dated January 19, 2026) went massively viral in Brazil, racking up over 90K likes, 5K+ reposts, and 1M+ views in just hours. It features a short clip of the legendary TV host Ana Maria Braga (from Mais Você on Globo) saying:
"Começo essa semana de alma lavada em saber que não terei o DESPRAZER de entrevistar o Pedro..."
(Translation: "I start this week with a clean soul knowing that I won't have the DISPLEASURE of interviewing Pedro...")This sarcastic, relieved comment instantly became a national mood.Context: Who is "Pedro" and why the hate?Pedro is a contestant (likely from a recent season of Big Brother Brasil — BBB — or a very similar reality show on Globo). In an extremely short time (apparently less than one week), he managed to become one of the most hated participants in recent Brazilian television history. The main accusations and incidents mentioned across hundreds of replies include:
  • Sabotaging a teammate's proof/challenge
  • Getting naked / exposing himself inappropriately
  • Repeatedly (30× according to one viral reply) admitting to cheating on his wife
  • Sexually harassing/assaulting a female contestant (Jordana) — described as trying to force a kiss without consent
The combination of betrayal + misogynistic behavior + zero self-awareness turned public opinion against him at lightning speed. Many people are saying he achieved "national villain" status faster than almost anyone in BBB history.Ana Maria's comment — savage level: expertAna Maria Braga is known for being extremely polite and professional on air, even with controversial guests. When she openly says she's relieved and finds it a "displeasure" to interview someone, that's basically the Brazilian TV equivalent of a nuclear-level burn. The public read it as:
  • "Even the most wholesome presenter in the country can't stand him"
  • "If Ana doesn't want him, nobody wants him"
The replies exploded with memes, jokes about her "roasting a whole pig" (leitão = suckling pig) live on air if he ever showed up, and people saying she was probably already planning to call in sick (the famous "atestado médico") just to avoid him.Overall public sentiment (from top/latest replies)
  • Overwhelmingly negative towards Pedro → phrases like "worst participant ever", "shameful", "his mother must be dying of embarrassment"
  • Very few defenders (mostly arguing "it was just a kiss attempt", "he left voluntarily, not expelled", or "cancel culture gone too far") — they get heavily ratio'd
  • Lots of humor: people laughing at how fast he became universally despised, jokes about Ana's voice sounding "grave" (some thought she had anesthesia or was sick, but it's probably just the tone of pure relief 😂)
  • Classic Brazilian internet reaction: maximum mockery + zero mercy
In short: Pedro became the perfect storm of hated reality TV villain in record time, and Ana Maria Braga delivered the final, iconic, extremely shade-throwing nail in the coffin. The clip + her line perfectly captured the collective Brazilian feeling of "good riddance".Pure reality TV drama gold. 🍿🇧🇷
