A Fazenda 18: Ariela, Thaíde, Renê face elimination vote after Jottapê wins

The third elimination round of A Fazenda 18 (Record TV) is set after Jottapê won the Prova do Fazendeiro (Farmer's Test) on Wednesday, October 7. Ariela Carasso, Thaíde, and Renê Thristan now compete for public votes to remain in the reality competition, with the elimination result announced on Thursday, October 8 at 22:45.

The Farmer's Test required participants to demonstrate rope-lassoing skills and spatial reasoning. Competitors had to use cowboy lassos to open compartments containing puzzle pieces, then assemble the pieces into a path leading to a finish line. Jottapê completed the challenge fastest and secured the weekly leadership role, automatically exiting the elimination vote. Renê Thristan was barred from competing after being vetoed by Jottapê during the nomination process on Tuesday, October 6, placing him directly in the elimination round.

The third roça formation followed a tense nomination process. Fazendeiro Serginho Hondjakoff nominated Renê directly, citing limited interaction and prior conflicts. During the public vote at the house, Ariela received 11 votes, the highest count, and pulled Thaíde from the Baia (holding pen). Jottapê, who survived the Resta Um (final nomination game), then vetoed Renê from the Farmer's Test. All three nominees made public appeals during the live broadcast: Ariela emphasized her long journey to participation and stated she came "to win the prize," Renê expressed gratitude and commitment to the competition, and Thaíde said he had "important matters to address" and does not "give punishment just for fun."

Two contestants have been eliminated previously in the season. Adryana received 8.59% of votes and Stephanie Gomes received 19.71%. The official elimination vote occurs exclusively on record.r7.com/a-fazenda-18/, while various news outlets conduct non-binding public polls.
