Glitchy Premiere of Casa do Patrão Draws Swift Viewer Backlash

Overview

• The Record–Disney+ reality, which premiered Monday, drew complaints about blurry cameras, audio dropouts, and a cut that ended the TV broadcast before viewers saw the finish of the first challenge.
• Host Leandro Hassum stumbled on his live debut, misannouncing the next program and appearing unsure during the game explanation, in moments that spread quickly on social media.
• Luis Fellipe Alvim became the first weekly leader, or Patrão, after a simple toss game seen as underwhelming by many viewers, then assigned house tasks to fellow contestants.
• The format features 18 anonymous players split across three spaces — a luxury Patrão house, a work-focused Casa do Trampo, and a shared convivência area — with a rotating leader, a 24-hour live feed on Disney+, daily highlights on Record, and a top prize that can reach R$ 2 million.
• Early numbers in Greater São Paulo averaged 4.7 points for the debut, below recent Record reality launches, and Boninho has barred contestants from using social‑media managers and says he will make rapid adjustments based on feedback.
