This season's host was television presenter Bárbara Guimarães, who replaced Júlia Pinheiro.^[3] Returning from the first season were personal trainer Rui Barros,^[4] nutritionist Teresa Branco,^[5] and the Commando.

Footnotes

1. Marco, Marta, and Vera were not admitted to the ranch by the personal trainers, after the first day selection training.^[8] However, after the second weigh-in, it was revealed that they had always been training secretly with the Commando, outside of the ranch.^[9]
2. Vera was eliminated as she had the lowest weight loss percentage among the three contestants secretly training outside of the ranch.^[10]
3. Helena and João were originally assigned to the Red Team, while José and Carlos were originally allocated to the Blue Team. However, during Week 2, Andreia's immunity gave her the power to switch these contestants from one team to the other.^[11]
4. José had to withdraw from the competition due to a serious ankle injury, which had to undergo surgical intervention.^[12]
5. Alexandre was picked by Margarida to leave the show as a result of her immunity-granted power to eliminate a Red Team male member.^[13]
6. Ana was eliminated directly as a result of finishing last in the Week 11 challenge.^[14]
7. Marta tied with Sara in the elimination voting, but was eliminated as a result of a lower weekly weight loss percentage.^[15]
8. Ivo was disqualified in the week before the finale for breaking a competition rule regarding the consumption of weight loss-promoting substances.^[16]
9. Alexandre was brought back to the competition for a third time, replacing Ivo in Portugal's vote to select the third finalist, following his disqualification.^[16]
10. Marco and Margarida (Yellow Team) were unanimously voted to leave the contest. However, they were handed a lifeline: on the following weigh-in, if their weight loss percentage was above the average weight loss percentage of all the other teams, they would be given the power to eliminate one opponent team; otherwise, they would be immediately eliminated.^[17]
