Notes

  • ^Note 1 : Meri was automatically nominated due to breaking the rules.
  • ^Note 2 : The viewers voted for their favorite housemate. The six housemates with the fewest votes (Alfio, Ervin, Gabriele, Gazmend, Heidi and Vesa) were the nominees to be nominated for eviction and also only they could vote. All other housemates had immunity.
  • ^Note 3 : Vesa was automatically nominated due to breaking the rules.
  • ^Note 4 : The viewers voted for their favorite housemate. The 3 most favorite housmates were announced, along with the 3 least favorite housmates. The least favorite housmates were Elvis, Ervin and Gabriele, who were put up for nomination.
  • ^Note 5 : Egla, as the Head of Household, was given an advantage, which was the ability to replace one of the nominees with another player. Their choice was to replace Elvis with Fation.
  • ^Note 6 : Due to the housemates breaking the rules during the challenge, a second nomination took place with all the housemates against the public vote.
  • ^Note 7 : Gazmend was automatically nominated due to breaking the rules.
  • ^Note 8 :   Each housemate had to save another housemate through a saving chain. Vesa began to choose, as she was the Head of Household. Ilnisa and Meri were the last housemates standing, as they were not saved, and thus became the nominees.
  • ^Note 9 : On day 29, Graciano was tempted by the Pandora's box, which he chose to open. The good consequence was two travel tickets for him, while the bad consequence was: He had to send three housemates for nomination. His choice was: Elvis, Heidi and Romeo.
  • ^Note 10 : On Day 32, the viewers voted for their favorite housemate. The nine housemates with the fewest votes (Albi, Arta, Egla, Endrik, Erjola, Françeska, Gazmend, Sara G. and Vesa) were the nominees to be nominated for eviction. All other housemates had immunity.
  • ^Note 11 : Heidi, Julian and Ledjona were the viewers favorite and had the power to send six housemates for nomination. Each housemate voted for two housemates.
  • ^Note 12 : On day 39, Sara was tempted by the Pandora's box, which she chose to open. The good consequence was, had access to search the network for what has been written about her on the network within 120 seconds. The bad consequence was: Sara had to decide if she would send all the boys or all the girls of the house for nomination, while she and Ledjona, as the Head of Household were immune. Sara G. choice was to send all the boys for nomination.

Controversies

In a stunning turn of events, just one day after becoming a participant in Big Brother VIP, the police stormed the premises of the house to arrest contestant Liam Osmani, 44 years old, who is accused of fraud. This individual, in 2019, through fraudulent means, obtained 17 tourist tickets to Germany without making the corresponding payments.

Through an official announcement, the police explained that the Prosecutor's Office of Tirana, on May 9, 2022, issued an order for the execution of the penal decision dated February 23, 2022, sentencing this citizen to 2 years and 6 months in prison for the criminal offense of "Fraud".
