Maria Teresa Ruta was a housemate on Grande Fratello VIP 5.
She entered the game as a duo with her daughter Guenda Goria, but they started playing as individual contestants in Week 3.
Known for her eccentric behaviour, Maria Teresa was often misunderstood by the other housemates who would doubt her character, life stories and reactions to certain dynamics of the season.
Because of this, she was up for public vote almost every week she was in the House, breaking the record for most times a contestant has been involved in a public vote in Grande Fratello history.
Her position as an outcast, her positive attitude towards life and her interesting backstory made her a huge fan favorite: Maria Teresa was saved almost everytime she was up for public vote, until Day 152, when she was shockingly eliminated against Andrea Zenga and Samantha de Grenet.
