	Twists	On Day 0, Petar entered the show as "Agent Enigma" - the public will control his decisions during his stay. On Day 0, Atija was announced as the first nominated due to her losing in "Hide and Seek". Georgi M. was later automatically nominated by Kosara. Petar gained immunity and was announced as the only housemate, who could nominate this week. On Day 1, after Georgi M. was automatically nominated to face the first eviction by Kosara, Big Brother revealed that he would have the chance to remove his nomination if he was not ranked least entertaining in the next task. He ultimately was not ranked least entertaining in the task and his nominated status was removed. On Day 3, Atija's nomination was removed as she lasted the longest in the bed task.
	Nominations	On Day 3 the first nominations took place, but this week only Petar could nominate. It was face to face nominations. As only one person nominated, Nikolay and Veselka faced the eviction with Andjela, who was automatically nominated.
	Punishements	On Day 1, Andjela told Petar, that the whole house watched him in the Diary Room, where it was revealed that only he would nominate this week. As that was supposed to be hidden from him, Andjela was automatically nominated.
	Tasks	On Day 0, housemates played various party games. First, they played "Hide and Seek," where Georgi M. found Atija first, making her the first nominated. Next was "Musical Statues," where Vanessa was named the house pet after moving first. Afterward, they played "Pass the Parcel," revealing prizes and questions. Radostin won a trip to Dubai for two. Yvonne chose Nikolay as the worst dressed, causing him to lose his suitcase. Kosara picked Georgi M. as the most boring, making him the second to face public voting. Petar gained immunity and chose his suitcase over the others. Mario selected Georgi T. as the housemate he'd least want to share a bed with, forcing Georgi T. to sleep on the floor. On Day 1, Vanessa's task as the house's dog started. She couldn't talk and for every breach several percents will be taken from the weekly budget. On Day 1, housemates took part in a task where they would rank each other based on various characteristics. However, Georgi M. was given a secret mission to be removed from the nominated list if he wasn't ranked in the bottom three for least entertaining. His task was accomplished. On Day 2 started the weekly budget task. Housemates had to wear gloves which prevents them from using their hands. For each breach several percents from the budget will be taken. If a housemate report a breach, the informator will be rewarded. On Day 3, housemates took part in a task where they had to last the longest laying on an oversized bed. As Atija lasted the longest, her nomination was removed.
	Exits	On Day 5, Nikolay became the first evicted housemate.[4]
Week 2	Nominations	On Day 9, the second nominations were held. Georgi M., Kristie, Petar and Vanessa received the most nominations and faced eviction this week.
	Punishements	On Day 6, Kosara told some of the housemates to nominate her. As this is a breach of the rules, the next day it was announced that Kosara couldn't be nominated for this week.
	Tasks	On Day 7, the weekly task started and the housemates were split in two teams - Georgi T., Mario, Petar, Plamen, Viktor and their captain Radostin were named team Yunatsi and Andjela, Atija, Kosara, Kristie, Vanessa and their captain Yvonne were named team Samodivi. Aside from that, Georgi M., Teodora and Veselka were named the Zmei and were connected by a belt and had to move together. Team Yunatsi had to fulfill all the wishes of team Samodivi, who had to protect their wreaths from team Yunatsi. The male team also had to pick golden apples falling from a tree and hide them, while the Zmei had to stop team Yunatsi to get all apples. Team Yunatsi had to collect three or more apples, so the task would be accomplished. The next day, team Yunatsi had five apples and the mission was announced as successfully completed. On Day 7, Radostin had to choose one of the girls to cut the belt, connecting the Zmei together. He choose Atija. This task was also completed and the housemates won a luxury budget. On Day 9, before the nominations was held a game. There were big ice cubes with a coin in each and the housemate who gets the coin out by only using hands, tongue and breath would win immunity. The winner was Viktor, who was safe from eviction. On Day 10, Big Brother installed a "Venting Machine" in which the housemates had to vent their frustrations and had to scream in order to win either a food or a drink.
	Exits	On Day 8, due to bad medical condition, Andjela had to leave the house to recover.[5] On Day 12, Kristie became the second evicted housemate.
Week 3	Twists	On Day 16, as Mario wasn't picked in any team for the daily task, he was announced as the first nominated. On Day 17, after winning the question game for the nominated housemates, Petar was safe from this week's eviction.
	Nominations	On Day 16, the third nominations took place. Georgi M., Kosara, Mario and Petar received the most votes and therefore faced the public vote.
	Punishements	On Day 16, Georgi M. told some housemates that he thinks Petar will nominate him. Because this is a breach of the rules, Georgi M. had to walk around with a round shot tied up to his leg.
	Tasks	On Day 14, the new weekly task started - the housemates shouldn't have gained more weight. Petar was given a secret mission - he would have to gain weight as the public voted in the Nova Play app. As Veselka, Radostin, Atija and Viktor weighed the most, they had to complete a race, where they were wrapped up in stretch foil and had to move like worms. At the start of the mission, the total weight of the housemates was 1020 kg and at the edn of the mission - 1005 kg, making the housemates winning a luxury budget. On Day 14, as Viktor and Atija lost at the worm race, they had to walk 100 km in total on the treadmill. If they failed, Big Brother would take 50% from the budget, whether it is luxury or economy. Viktor and Atija completed the task successfully. On Day 14, Viktor was given a secret mission - he had to ignore Teodora and not say a word to her until the day of nominations. As a reward, he would get her immunity. However, as some of the housemates figured out that he had a mission, the mission was announced as unsuccessfully. On Day 15, Mario, Teodorsa, Yvonne, Georgi T. and Radostin had to put on sport short without using their hands. If not everyone had put their shorts on for 10 minutes, 20% would be taken from the budget. For every touch with hands on the shorts, 20% would be taken. The mission was announced as completed without any penalties. On Day 15, Teodora was given an oposite secret mission to the one Victor had - she had to convince Viktor to talk to her. If she managed to do so, she would won him immunity. Her mission was also unsuccessfully. On Day 16, Viktor and Atija had to make two teams. The housemate, who wasn't picked would be the first nominated. Viktor choose Teodora, Petar, Plamen, Georgi T.and Vanessa and Atija choose Radostin, Yvonne, Kosara, Georgi M. and Veselka, making Mario the first nominated for this week. Each team had ten oranges, that they had to carry with their legs. The winning team would control the budget. If neither of the teams won, 20% from the budget would've been taken. Apparently, team Atija won the game with 8-7 oranges. On Day 17, Atija had a secret mission. She was given the answers to a question game, happening later that day and she needed to hand the answers to Petar, so he can win the game and save himself from possible eviction. On Day 17, a question game was held for the nominated housemates, who had to get a coin first in order to answer a question. The housemate with the most right answers would save himself from this week's eviction. The winner was Petar, who was safe this week.
	Exits	On Day 19, Kosara became the third evicted housemate.
Week 4	Twists	On Day 21, Atija and Yvonne were announced as the only nominating housemates this week, due to them being "Queen Ants". They choose to nominate Georgi T. and Georgi M. respectfully. On Day 21, after Georgi M.'s successful coup and due to him dethroning Yvonne, he won immunity and Yvonne was automatically nominated.
	Nominations	On Day 21, Atija and Yvonne as Queen Ants had to nominate one housemate from their teams face to face. Atija nominated Georgi T. and Yvonne nominated Georgi M. After Georgi M.'s coup on Yvonne, the former became immune and the later was automatically nominated. On Day 22, the nominations continued. As the new Queen Ant, Georgi M. nominated Petar.
	Punishements
	Tasks	On Day 21, housemates took part in their next shopping task, in which the Big Brother house was transformed into an ant kingdom. Housemates were split into two colonies: The blue colony consisting of Mario, Yvonne, Petar, Viktor, Teodora and Georgi M., and the red colony consisting of Radostin, Veselka, Georgi T., Atija, Plamen and Vanessa. Each team had to appoint a "Queen Ant" to lead their colony, and chose Yvonne and Atija respectively. The ants had to walk on certain paths and had to call the queens "your highness". For each breach 5% of the budget would be taken. Only the queens could nominate this week. The teams had to collect eggs. The colony with more eggs would make the shopping list for the week. There was a mini game where the queens had their eyes covered and had to hit with a toy hammer the ants from the other team in a little circle and the two queens managed to win each one egg. On Day 21, Georgi M. had to dethrone Yvonne as the Queen Ant. If he managed to do so, he would be immune for this week, Yvonne would be automatically nominated and 40% of the budget would be restored after the many breaches of the weekly task. His mission was announced as completed. On Day 22, Atija and Georgi M. choose from their colonies Radostin, Veselka and Georgi T. for the red colony and Petar, Viktor and Mario for the blue colony to participate in a game, where they had to hold big mockups of food with outstretched arms. When someone got tired, he could give his mockup to other player from his team. As the last one standing, Georgi T. won for the red colony.
