History

2017: Pre-debut

The show selected 14 people of different nationalities, counting on a different selection system, since it would not use TV programs. Around the world, the selection took place through digital platforms like Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and also watchers. Just in Brazil, the reality show also counted on the platform Queremos! (We want!) as one of the channels to integrate the selection.
