Beija Sapo
is a Brazilian
blind-date
television show produced and broadcast by
MTV Brasil
and hosted by
Daniella Cicarelli
.
The title means
"kissing toads"
in Portuguese.
In the show, a participant called the
prince
or
princess
must choose one out of three contestants, completely dressed up as
toads
, to kiss them at the end of the program. The program's
scenario
resembles a
medieval
castle
, in order to give a
fairy tale
atmosphere to it.
The whole choosing process includes getting to know the "toads"' bedrooms, presented by close friends of theirs, asking the "toads" several questions, and even getting them to sing the "prince" or "princess" a song, with new lyrics written by themselves, often begging them a chance. The chosen "toad" will eventually become a "prince/ss" as well, and the show ends as the final kiss happens.
The dismissed contestants still have the opportunity of kissing someone else. Right after their dismissal, Daniella Cicarelli picks out some people from the audience, so that the one who screams the sentence "Help me out, Cicarelli!!" louder will be able to kiss the eliminated "toad".
There has been also several
lesbian
and
gay
special editions, making it the first
TV show
ever in
Brazilian
terrestrial television
to broadcast a gay kiss before 8pm, that is, on a timeslot rated appropriate for children and teenagers by the Brazilian Ministry of Justice.

Beija Sapo

It's the highest-rated show on the channel and was made to replace

Beija Sapo
).
