Big Brother Brasil 7 was the seventh season of Big Brother Brasil which premiered January 9, 2007 with the season finale airing April 3, 2007 on the Rede Globo television network.

The show is produced by Endemol Globo and presented by news reporter Pedro Bial. The season was officially confirmed since 2001 as part of the original contract between international Endemol and Rede Globo that provided seasons until 2008.

The grand prize was R$1 million with tax allowances, with a R$50,000 prize offered to the runner up and a R$30,000 prize offered to the 3rd place.

There were seventeen housemates competing for the grand prize, an increase over the four previous seasons. The season lasted 85 days, an increase of one week over the previous season. For the first time since the fourth season, the finale night featured a final two rather than a final three.

When two seasons in different countries are taking place simultaneously, housemates are sometimes temporarily exchanged between them. This season was the first time that Big Brother Brasil allow other contestant of other Big Brother to stay in the house.

Pablo Espósito, from Gran Hermano Argentina 4 spent four days (March 20 to March 25, 2007) in the Brazilian house, while Big Boss winner Íris Stefanelli spent another four days (March 27 to April 1, 2007) in the Argentinian house.

Before the beginning of the show, the announced contestant Yumi Ouchi was replaced by Flávia Viana, as Rede Globo claimed that Yumi had a contract with SBT, another Brazilian television channel, although she denied that.

Another replacement happened on the premiere of the season, when Fernando Orozco was ejected for having a friend who works as a director in the channel, which is against the rules of the show, as anyone who has any type of relationship with a Globo's employee is not allowed to be contestant in the program. He was replaced by Felipe Cobra.^[1]
