This season was the third to be filmed in Ceará, Brazil, following the first and fourth seasons, which were filmed in a different location. The grand prize is R$500.000 with tax allowances, plus a R$100.000 prize offered to the runner-up and a R$50.000 prize offered to the contestant in third place.
On July 20, 2021, Paula Amorim won the competition with 66.77% of the public vote over Viegas de Carvalho. André Martinelli finished in third place by a 5–4–3–0 live jury vote over fellow semifinalists Elana Valenária, Marcelo Zulu and Jéssica Mueller, respectively.
