Edílson Capetinha, a former football player, has been expelled from the reality show BBB 26 after being involved in an altercation with another contestant, Leandro Boneco. Despite this incident, Globo has announced that he will continue to receive his planned payments as part of his contract with the program. This decision has raised eyebrows given the nature of his expulsion, which involved two aggressive acts against Boneco during an argument.

The situation has drawn comparisons to another recent expulsion from the show, that of Sol Vega, who was also disqualified but under different circumstances. The broadcasting network's choice to uphold Capetinha’s contract may spotlight its approach to handling on-screen behavior and conflicts, particularly in a reality TV setting where such incidents can influence viewer perceptions and the program's integrity.

There are implications for how network policies are perceived in terms of accountability and the message sent to audiences regarding unacceptable behavior. Maintaining Capetinha's contract could set a precedent that aggressive actions do not necessarily lead to the loss of contractual obligations, which might affect future casting decisions and audience trust in the competition’s fairness and safety protocols.
