Critical response
The season was noted for increasing the representation of Black contestants and people with larger bodies. Reviews also criticized parts of the cast and its romantic storylines while highlighting the season's entertainment value and social discussions surrounding body image, sexism and relationships.[4][5][6]
Production
Filming
Filming began in São Paulo in March 2022, and lasted 39 days up until the weddings. After the five newly engaged couples left the pods, filming took place at the Mirante do Gavião Amazon Lodge in Novo Airão, about 180 km upstream of Manaus, Amazonas, when all the couples went on a retreat. Then, the relationships that made it through the retreat moved in together in an apartment complex in São Paulo, where they spent the rest of the time filming up until the weddings in May 2022.[7][8]
Fatphobia Controversy
Amanda Souza faced fatphobia during her participation in the show. She became engaged to Paulo Simi, but he chose not to continue the relationship after meeting her in person for the first time, an incident that was criticized as fatphobic.[9] In 2024, following a separate incident involving a participant in the fourth season, Amanda launched the social media trend #EuTenhoVozDeGorda, calling attention to fatphobia and advocating for greater representation of fat people.[10]
