Notes

• ^Note 1 : Although her pair was walked, Zaida continued to be the Head of House. On Day 8, Sokol was also ejected. Because of this, Zaida and Xhensila were left without pair and had the option to become a new pair. They accepted it.
• ^Note 2 : Similar to Big Brother Australia, each pair had to distribute 5 points between 2 other pairs. However, housemates up for eviction have individual numbers and not with their pairs.
• ^Note 3 : Stilian and Kreshnik were automatically nominated as a result of breaking the rules.
• ^Note 4 : While his pair was evicted, Big Brother decided to send Stilian to a Secret Room. The other housemates think he was evicted too.
