A Fazenda 18: kept on by Record after controversy, Serginho becomes Farmer and escapes elimination

Sérgio Hondjakoff, forever known as Cabeção from 'Malhação', had a roller-coaster week on 'A Fazenda 18'. After getting 16 votes from his housemates and landing in the second elimination round, the actor won the Farmer Challenge on Wednesday night (Sept. 30), assembling a goose, a dog and a horse from Tangram-style pieces with the fastest times in all three rounds.

The win came right after Record decided to keep him in the game. Contestant Ana Bruna accused Serginho of touching her inappropriately during a hug; the network aired the footage of the moment, presented by host Adriane Galisteu, and concluded the images were not enough to justify an expulsion, despite calls from viewers on social media.

With Serginho safe, Adryana Ribeiro, Daniel Erthal and Maíra Charken are fighting to stay. In Metrópoles' poll early Thursday, country singer Adryana led with 48.72% of votes to stay, versus 31.49% for Daniel and 19.79% for Maíra. The eviction airs live on Thursday (Oct. 1) starting at 10:45 p.m. Brasília time.
