The house

edit

Originally, it was planned either Big Brother 4 or VIP Brother 3 to air in the beginning of 2008. However, the start of a new season has been delayed due to the competition for the building company. Big Brother 4 was recorded in a new house near Sofia in the village of Novi Khan, as the old one has been destroyed.

There was a secret room, two bathrooms and a shop. The total area of the house is 3000 km2. There was a fireplace at the middle of the garden. There was the airplane wrackage, where the housemates lived.

A total of 70 cameras was following the new housemates' every move.
