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.
