And the winner is… Posted by on Mar 25, 2008 in Entertainment

The votes are in and the winner of Big Brother Brasil 8 is… Rafinha.

 

Rafinha is 26 year-old musician from Campinas in the state of São Paulo.

Rafinha beat his competitor, Gyselle, by a hair–with only 50.15% of the votes.

This year’s Big Brother beat all voting records, with a whopping 75 million votes. For reference, Brazil’s population is 190 million, so if each vote was cast by a different person, nearly 40% of the Brazilian population voted in the competition.

Rafinha is now the proud owner of R$1 million.

Big Brother is one of the most popular TV shows in Brazil.
