Nominations table
Notes
*: From the beginning of the first live eviction show all of the housemates were automatically nominated for eviction. The three housemates who received the fewest votes to save would be evicted. Shortly before this took place, Imelda, having been automatically put up for the public vote, was evicted from the house.
*: Before the eviction in week two, the housemates were told that they all had to vote for one of their fellow housemates that they would like to see be evicted from the house. As this was a fake vote and as Algen received the most votes he was automatically nominated two weeks in row.
*: Do to the growing gap between male and female housemates in the house, for nominations in week only female housemates (excluding Ermela) were eligible to be nominated.
*: Before round ten of nominations began, Big Brother put the four housemates who had yet to be nominated, Ergys, Mariel, Petrit and Shkelqim, up for a vote to save. The three who lost the vote would automatically be nominated for eviction. The voting results were as follows, Mariel received votes from Alma, Mirjeta, and Neda, Sheklqim received votes from Ermela and Jonela, Ergys received a vote from Klodjana, and Petrit received no votes to save.
*: In round fourteen the nominations were done in secret with each housemate writing down on a sheet of paper who they wanted to nominate. Ermela received the most nominations with five and was up for eviction. The public then voted for whether they wanted to save or evict Ermela.
