It was an interview program on controversial and scandalous topics. It also featured artistic gossip and consumer protection panels.

However, the new version of the program is short-lived and Christina is back off TV.
A few months later, in 2009, she was chosen as the new presenter of Casos de Família,[1] replacing Regina Volpato, who did not renew with the broadcaster because she did not agree with the changes proposed by the broadcaster for the program.[10] This new format acquired by SBT belongs to a production company in Venezuela.
