^Note 1 : On Day 2, the twin sisters Aleksandra D. and Vladislava entered the house. Aleksandra B. and Yonislav were given a mission by Big Brother to recognize them as the newly welcomed housemates. They completed their task successfully, which meant that the twin sisters were automatically nominated for eviction. Aleksandra B. and Yonislav were part of "The Order of the Heart" along with Angie and Daniel Z. who won the first-week mission. Maria and Sashka were nominated after the decision of "The Order of the Heart".
^Note 2 : On Day 8, there was a fake eviction of which the housemates were unaware about. Vladislava received the fewest votes to save and therefore she was invited by Big Brother to return to the house to perform secret missions for him with her twin sister. During their secret task, it was Aleks's identity, under which they had to live - Vladi was with the other housemates, pretending to be Aleks, while Aleks was in the secret room of the house. The twins were swapping their places in the house and their task was to trick the others that they were the same person. Eventually, Vladislava was exempt from the nominations during the second week, while Aleks was eligible to nominate. If the girls failed with their assigned task, they would be immediately evicted from the show.
^Note 3 : On Day 11, it was revealed that Aleksandra D. and Vladislava had failed with their secret mission. Despite that, Big Brother let them stay in the house and they were given the opportunity to compete as a single contestant. However, due to the failure in their secret mission, they were directly up for eviction along with Anton, Boris and Miglena.
^Note 4 : Boris was immune and he couldn't nominate during the fourth nominations. The other housemates couldn't nominate him as well.
^Note 5 : This time, the housemates were eligible to nominate only one housemate instead of two. Originally, 8 out of 14 housemates were nominated and those housemates were Anton, Daniel Z., Dzhuliana, Miglena, Sashka, Tsvetelin and Vanya. Miglena, who had the role of an executive director during the new weekly mission "BBTV", was eligible to save two of the nominated housemates from the possible eviction. She chose to save Daniel Z. and herself.
^Note 6 : The fifth nominations were face-to-face. The housemates were obliged to nominate only one housemate and everyone who received at least one nomination faced eviction.
^Note 7 : Alfredo's nomination to Daniel P. was voided because he didn't give a reason to nominate him.
^Note 8 : Originally, 7 out of 12 housemates were nominated and those housemates were Alfredo, Boris, Daniel Z., Angie, Miglena, Vanya and Yonislav. As Aleksandra B. and Daniel P. were planning a marriage in the house, they were the lucky housemates who had the opportunity to save two of the nominees. A "wheel of luck" was introduced which featured the 7 nominated housemates. The wheel was spun by Aleksandra and Daniel and it revealed Boris and Daniel Z. as the two saved housemates from the sixth eviction.
^Note 9 : Miglena was immune and she couldn't nominate during the seventh nominations. The other housemates couldn't nominate her as well.
^Note 10 : Yonislav's nomination to Alfredo was voided because he didn't give a reason to nominate him.
^Note 11 : During the eighth and final nominations, the housemates had to choose the housemate they wanted to win (the name in green) and the housemate who they didn't want to win (the name in black). They were able to vote for themselves.
^Note 12 : The public were voting to win rather than to save.
