In his debut, Babilônia has acquired a Ibope Rating of 31 points in the preliminary numbers, representing the worst debut of a 9PM telenovela in all time.[79] However, in the final numbers, this index increased two points, and the debut recorded 33 points, with 50% share.[77][80] At the same time, Carrossel (SBT - 8 points) and Vitória (Record - 6 points), had a good performance. This represents that 6.534 million viewers watched this chapter in Greater São Paulo.[81] Compared to the two predecessors, the debut index surpassed Império (32 points)[82] and tied with Em Família (33 points).[83]

In the second chapter, recorded 29.8 (30) points, down 9%.[84] Fell short of its predecessor, Império (35 points),[85] but overcame Em Família (29 points).[86] In the third and fourth chapter, the ratings continued to fall, registering 29 points.[87][88] In the same period, SBT, with a rerun of Carrossel, had a great performance, registering 12.5 and 12.6 respectively.[89][90]

Controversy

Scene of a gay kiss was received controversially.

The gay kiss between actresses Fernanda Montenegro and Nathalia Timberg was received controversially.[91] Although the telenovela has received numerous accolades for breaking this "taboo",[92][93] some media outlets pointed that Gilberto Braga, main author of Babilônia, "does not care about the Brazilian family values."[94] After this scene, Babilônia suffered several boycotts by the conservative public, in general, Evangelicals Protestants.[95] Religious leaders publicly criticized the Rede Globo, and invited his followers not to watch the telenovela. The Evangelical Parliamentary Front, headed by João Campos (PSDB), has released a note of repudiation against the scene on March 19, 2015.[96][97][98][99]

Boycott campaign to telenovela. In the poster, says, "Say No! Do not give your ratings to another soap opera created to destroy the values of the Brazilian family!"

<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />

"I doubt that, in the United States, they would show two women kissing on TV at 9:30 PM. I doubt it! And there's nothing puritanical about it, because U.S is a democracy. In Brazil, people are mistaking freedom for libertarianism."

— Silas Malafaia, in an interview to the newspaper O Dia, [100]

However, Ricardo Linhares, one of the authors, repudiated the criticism, saying: "We live in a secular and democratic country where everyone has the freedom to express your opinion. Who wants to be respected have to respect his fellow man."[101][102]

<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />

"Will have gay in the new novela. Will have gay, very gay. But relax, will also have very stupid, retrograde and homophobic. Smile, you will feel represented."

— João Ximenes Braga, one of the authors, in an interview to Época, before Babilônia debut, [103][104]

After the boycott announcement, some fans reacted and launched a campaign in support of the novela.[105]

Due to the controversy, the main competitor of Globo in timeslot, SBT launched on March 21, 2015 a provocative slogan to promote repeat of Chiquititas. The phrase "Novela for family is here!" was used in several advertisements.[106][107] Although it is an advertising campaign, the station was criticized, mainly because it is, ironically, the first television station in Brazil to showing a gay kiss.[108][109]

Upon learning of the boycott, Fernanda Montenegro was surprised. In an interview to Veja magazine, said it is all "very radicalized". "It's a witch hunt!" concluded.[110][111]
