Rescuing good formulas
Back in the early 2000s, Brazil was introduced to "No Limite," a reality show with a focus on survival and competition. You probably remember the challenges where participants had to eat goat eyes and even brains.
Hosted by Zeca Camargo, the program awarded all participants with a brand new car and guaranteed cash prizes for the top three finishers. It ran for four seasons between 2000 and 2009, and after much nostalgia, Globo has announced a new season of the reality show.
The announcement came with two new developments: the first is the presenter, Marcos Mion, who, after announcing Jojo Toddynho's victory in the last edition of A Fazenda, will accompany former BBB contestants experiencing the challenges we know and love from No Limite! The internet is already buzzing with this announcement from Globo, making bets on which participants might be on the reality show and making some jokes about famous names from Big Brother Brasil.
This season promises to be interesting! Let's keep an eye out to see if everything will be delivered. Have you made your list of potential participants yet? And what's your list of the best reality shows ever made?
