Notes

^Note 1: On Day 4, after the Thursday Night Pool Party, Bravo B and Makhekhe used derogatory language, behaving in a manner that threatened the safety of the housemates and showed intent to harm another housemate. On Day 5, Big Brother then called all housemates to the lounge and showed them the video of Bravo B and Makhekhe's conversa tion. He then issued Makhekhe a double strike, and Bravo B was disqualified from the show as the conversation driver.^[4]
^Note 2: In Week 3, there were fake nominations, with viewers asked to rate the three disruptors. The highest rated would become a real housemate, while the other two would be evicted.
^Note 3: Due to an eviction twist on day 28, Lerato Modise and Papaghost were fake evicted into secret cabin for number of days while watching the show before they were bought back.
^Note 4: In Week 7, there was no save and replace. Instead, Big Brother introduced the Fate Room, where two games were played by the nominated housemates. Willy won the challenge and was therefore immune from eviction that week.
^Note 5: In Week 8, Lerato Modise was sent to the Fate Room and Big Brother instructed her to spin the arrow on a wheel with two options: Finale or Eviction. After spinning the arrow, it landed on Eviction, and she was evicted immediately.
^Note 6: In Week 9, Liema was also sent to the Fate Room and Big Brother gave her two options: Either stay on the nomination list or leave the house immediately, but leave with R250 000. She chose the R250 000 and was evicted.
