Secret Story 1 (Portugal)

Secret Story - A Casa dos Segredos 1 (2010) was the first season of the Portuguese version of the reality show Secret Story, based on the original French version. The series started on October 3, 2010, and the finale, which took place in Campo Pequeno, Lisbon, was on December 31. The show aired on TVI and was produced by Endemol Portugal. The show lasted three months and was hosted by Júlia Pinheiro, Pedro Granger, and Leonor Poeiras.

The eviction shows (also called Galas) took place on Sundays and a daily diary of what happened in the house was broadcast on the other days of the week. Both were on in prime time. Also, a sister show called Secret Story Extra, airing in a late-night time slot, showed more of the events that took place in the house. On the TVI Direct cable TV channel, the show was broadcast 24/7. Since November 15, another hour of Secret Story began to be broadcast in the late afternoon, therefore making three programmes per day plus a 24/7 channel. In that space, since Week 8, the public could vote for secret missions that housemates would make. On Saturdays only one show aired, a special one with the best moments of the week called "Secret Story Fim-de-Semana" (Secret Story Weekend). A special CD was made with the theme song and housemates' favorite songs.

The format is based on the French one, although the Portuguese version has more secret missions. These missions were imposed by "a Voz" ('The Voice'), which served a similar function to "The Voice" in previous series. If a housemate discovered another housemate's secret, he or she would win that housemate's prize money. The money prizes for each mission were different; only the four finalists received their account money. Nominations followed the standard Big Brother format, although in this series, nominations alternated weekly, boys one week and girls the next. Only two housemates could be up for eviction in each round. If there was a tie in the nominations, a second round was held in which only the tied housemates could be nominated. As the series progressed, housemates developed friendships, dividing into two groups, Boi Marinho and Toupeira, although at the end of Week 8, when Vítor was expelled, all the housemates became closer.
