Notes
edit^Note 1 : In round one of nominations only female housemates could nominate and only male housemates could be nominated.
^Note 2 : As Abdel was ejected on Day 5 by La Voix for inappropriate behavior, nominations were canceled.
^Note 3 : Housemates had to choose two imposters to enter the house, male housemates must choose between Sara and Leila and female housemates must choose between Aymeric and Stéfan. Later, as they were chosen by the housemates, Aymeric and Leila had a dilemma to choose between Stéfan and Sara to enter the house, they chose Stéfan. Later, Stéfan received a dilemma, if he accepts to pick Sara's place to face the public vote, all the imposters (Aymeric, Leila, Sara and Stéfan) are immune. He accepted.
^Note 4 : In round two of nominations only female housemates could nominate and only male housemates could be nominated.
^Note 5 : In order to destroy clues on their secrets, Julie and Geoffrey accepted to remove the immunity of Sara and Leila for nominations of week 3.
^Note 6 : Élodie revealed her secret and therefore is nominated.
^Note 7 : In round four of nominations, only male housemates could be nominated.
^Note 8 : As a revenge for manipulating male housemates to nominate Leila, this latter had opportunity to nominate Jessica. She accepted the offer of La Voix.
^Note 9 : Leila and Sara have power to nominate two male housemates as they nominated them in Week 3.
^Note 10 : In the room of shields, Stéfan had to give a fake immunity to one of his fellow housemate while it is a nomination. He must remain secret until La Voix reveals it on Day 32. He decided to nominate Sara by giving her a fake immunity.
^Note 11 : In round five of nominations, all the housemates were eligible to nominate and to nominate whoever they want, in duos. Aymeric and Nathalie, Leila and Sacha, Jessica and Stéfan, Sara and Steph, Vivian and Julie.
^Note 12 : Stéfan and Steph received the fewest votes to save and therefore are in danger for eviction. All the housemates have to save one of them. Sara and Jessica were not eligible to save one of them as they were nominated.
^Note 13 : Housemates are divided into two houses. Jessica, Steph, Julie, Sacha and Vivian in the main house and Sara, Nathalie, Aymeric and Leila in the little house. Each house had to elect a "leader" of their house. Main house chose Sacha, little house chose Nathalie. As chiefs of their houses, Sacha and Nathalie will nominate on Day 40 two housemates of the opposite house.
^Note 14 : After being up for eviction along Sacha, Julie and Aymeric, Leila was evicted for fake and therefore joined the Secret Room. On Day 45, La Voix revealed to Aymeric that only Sacha was evicted and Leila was in secret room, Aymeric joined Leila in Secret Room but still lives in the main house.
^Note 15 : Jessica becomes another Leila's complice and is aware Leila is still in the house. La Voix gave them both the power to nominate one male and one female housemate to face the public's vote.
^Note 16 : During the live show, the red phone his apparition, all the housemates had to pass the phone to another and the last one who received it was nominated. As Sara was the last one to have it, she was nominated. To protect their secret, Nathalie and Vivian had the possibility to take Sara's nomination for one of them. They chose Vivian. Then, Leila received a dilemma: she could give Aymeric the possibility to see his brother but she would take Vivian's nomination. She accepted. Then, Sara and Steph could nominate Jessica but all the housemates money would be divided by two. They accepted, Jessica therefore became nominated next to Leila. But, Aymeric and Julie could replace Jessica and Leila with Nathalie and Vivian. They accepted, Nathalie and Vivian therefore became the nominees. Finally, Nathalie and Vivian had the possibility to save one of them, but clues of their secret would be revealed to the house. They accepted and saved Nathalie. Vivian therefore remained the only nominee.
^Note 17 : Vivian, as a nominee, had then to choose 2 housemates to win immunity. He chose Nathalie and Jessica. The other housemates faced eviction with him.
^Note 18 : In week 8, nominations were cancelled as Aymeric and Sara were ejected. The housemates have to choose if they merit to stay. Only Leila and Julie vote for the return of the two housemates.
