Season chronology

Production

It marked a turning point in the way the show was produced when compared to previous seasons.

House

The size of the house was increased to almost 3,500 square feet (330 m²) and was made almost entirely of glass.

Nomination

This year the nominations process was changed. Unlike previous years, this year the Housemates would each week nominate three of their fellow Housemates for eviction rather than two as in previous years.

Luxury Suite

In this season, a luxury suite was introduced. It's a soft room filled with every luxury that the Housemates were not allowed in the main house. Every week the winner of a task would be allowed access to this room, along with one Housemate of their choice. The winner of this task was also allowed to purchase some gifts for themselves or their companion, from the prize fund (up to 300,000 euros this year).

Housemates

Twelve Housemates entered the Big Brother House on opening night, with four Housemates joining later.
