Tadeu Schmidt entered the Huge Brother Brasil 26 house on the night of April 20, 2026, to personally meet the three finalists before the season’s finale. The Globo host arrived via the confession room and was greeted with emotional hugs from Ana Paula Renault, Juliano Floss, and Milena.
“Gente, como é bom estar com vocês. Vocês nem imaginam,” Tadeu said upon entering, followed by a heartfelt declaration: “Eu só quero dizer uma coisa, para começar: eu amo vocês.”
During the visit, the finalists reflected on their journeys. Juliano shared that Tadeu was the first famous person he ever saw in person as a child, although Ana Paula recalled asking for a song on Fantástico after surviving three consecutive evictions in BBB 16 — a segment Tadeu once hosted.
The group then toured the house together, with Tadeu visiting the “Eternos” room before sitting down to watch a video montage of each finalist’s season highlights. As he prepared to leave, he gave a triple hug and said, “Adorei estar aqui com vocês. Amanhã vamos estar juntos nessa final histórica e inesquecível. Obrigado.”
The following day, April 21, 2026, Tadeu shared details of his routine ahead of hosting the BBB 26 final. He began with a workout at the gym, where he interacted with fans, then spent time playing with his dog at home. He enjoyed a hearty lunch, praising the eggplant dish as “the most delicious in the world.”
On his way to the Globo studios, Tadeu listened to BBB 26 coverage on Globoplay, saying, “Vou ligar no Globoplay e fazer a última viagem ouvindo BBB 26.” He also rehearsed his final speech while getting his hair and makeup done.
After arriving at the studios and touring the set, Tadeu proceeded to the house to host the live finale, which crowned Ana Paula Renault as the season’s winner.
