Big Brother VIP Kosova is a Kosovan reality game show based on the Dutch reality competition franchise Big Brother. [1] The show follows a number of celebrity contestants, known as housemates, who are isolated from the outside world for an extended period of time in a custom built house. Each week, one of the housemates is evicted by a public vote, with the last housemate named the winner. Like Big Brother VIP Albania , it includes ethnic Albanians from the Balkans and the Diaspora.

Contents

Big Brother VIP Kosova started airing on Klan Kosova on 5 December 2022. [2] The show is hosted by Alaudin Hamiti and Jonida Vokshi. In honor of the format's 25th anniversary, Banijay Entertainment awarded Big Brother VIP Kosova the Highest Performance Award, distinguishing it as the best-performing edition among all international versions. [3]

On 17 March 2023, renowned Albanian rapper Arkimed Lushaj, known as Stresi, was announced as the winner of the first season. [4] On 3 February 2024, former professional football player and model Lumbardh Salihu was announced as the winner of the second season. [5]

Format

Big Brother VIP Kosova is a reality game show where a group of celebrity contestants, known as housemates, live in isolation inside a specially designed "house," cut off from the outside world. The housemates are under constant video surveillance, and they are prohibited from accessing television, the internet, print media, or any other form of external communication.

Throughout the competition, the housemates are confined within the house with no contact with the outside world. Viewers often play a role in the game by voting for their favorite housemates, with the most popular contestants earning immunity from eviction. Additionally, housemates themselves vote for a fellow contestant they consider deserving of immunity.

At least once a week, housemates secretly nominate two of their peers to face a public vote for eviction. The two or more housemates with the most nominations are put up for elimination, and the public decides who stays and who goes through text message or phone vote. The housemate with the most votes for eviction is eliminated from the house.

Housemates can also choose to voluntarily leave the game at any time if they find the experience too difficult to endure. When a housemate withdraws, a replacement is typically introduced to take their place.

In the final week of the season, the remaining housemates face one last challenge: the viewers vote for the winner, who receives a grand prize of €200,000 and is crowned the ultimate victor of Big Brother VIP Kosova. [6]
