Fernando Besort

Fernando Besort is a Brazilian judge known for his role in evaluating performances at Carnaval parades, particularly in the Samba schools of Rio de Janeiro. He has been a controversial figure due to his scoring decisions, which have sometimes sparked criticism from performers and fans alike. In the recent Carnaval, he faced backlash from Selminha Sorriso, the iconic porta-bandeira of Beija-Flor, who expressed her dissatisfaction with his scoring, particularly a 9.9 given to her performance, questioning the fairness of his evaluation.
