Big Brother Portugal is the Portuguese version of the international reality television franchise Big Brother, produced by Endemol for Portuguese channel TVI. TVI launched the show in 2000. Since its beginning, it has been a great success.

The show had seven editions with three being celebrity versions (Big Brother Famosos 1, Big Brother Famosos 2 and Big Brother VIP), presented by Teresa Guilherme. The popularity of this show steadily declined until TVI canceled after the fourth season in 2003.

In 2010, TVI aired the first season of Secret Story – Casa dos Segredos franchise. The show based on the original French version of Secret Story.

In 2013, after 11 years, TVI aired the third celebrity version of Big Brother, titled Big Brother VIP.

In 2020, TVI brought Big Brother to life to his first civilian series since 2003. During this new season, the show had a quarantine phase at the beginning, called BB ZOOM, where every housemate had to be isolated in one hotel room due to COVID-19. The contestants had to pass two negative tests to enter the Big Brother house.

After the end of Big Brother 2020, the network renewed the show for a sixth season calling it Big Brother: Revolution starting in September 2020 with its original host Teresa Guilherme.

2.   Débora bought immunity from the nominations using €1,000 of the final prize money.
3. Yeniffer (for being the winner of a challenge), Rafael and Ricardo (for both being chosen by leader Rui P), won the "double vote" advantage in the nominations.
4.   Unbeknownst to the housemates, Bruno pressed the Panic button, thus winning a secret immunity from the nominations. As result, leader Rui P's automatic nomination on him was voided and Rui B was nominated as his replacement.
5.   This week featured a double eviction. Lourenço, as the housemate who received the fewest votes from the public, was immediately evicted, while Aurora and Rui B, faced a Leader's eviction vote. Leader Rui P chose Rui B to be evicted.
6.   Ana M faced a series of dilemmas offered by Big Brother, which resulted in Ana B winning the "double vote" advantage in the nominations, Rafael being chosen to be automatically nominated for eviction and Ana M herself winning €10,000 of the final prize money.
7.   Fábio (for being chosen by leader Yeniffer) and Rui P (for being chosen by leader Ricardo), won a secret immunity from the nominations. As result, each nomination they received was voided and the housemate who nominated them would got the nomination point instead.
8.   Unbeknownst to the housemates, Rui P pressed the Panic button, thus winning a secret immunity from the nominations. As he was already immune for being chosen by leader Ricardo, this power was wasted and had no effect in the nominations.

BBF2022 Nominations table

Notes

1.   Leandro is an infiltrator for the first days, being in a separate room from the rest of housemates (who don't know Leandro is in the house). President Bruno is his accomplice.
2.   There was a twist in which the housemates inside the house had to vote for who they wanted to enter, between Hugo and Jaciara. Jaciara received the most votes, and Hugo was supposed to leave. However, Hugo also entered the house and was given the opportunity to automatically nominate someone that did not vote for him to enter. He nominated Liliana.
3.   Nuno won the immunity competition.
4.   For his last decisions as President, Bruno was given the chance to immune someone for Week 2's nominations. He immuned Liliana.
5.   Housemates were asked who they thought was the least protagonist of the competition. After everyone gave their opinions, Bruno had his final decision as Week 1's President, and chose Jay as the least protagonist. This gave Jay an automatic nomination.
6. As President, Catarina chose 6 housemates (Jaciara, Jorge, Kasha, Laura, Liliana, and Marta) to have a consequence on their nominations, while the remaining 5 nominated normally. Decided randomly, Jaciara and Marta had to switch one of their nominations, Laura and Liliana had to double one nomination, and Jorge and Kasha had to null one nomination.
7.   Her last decision as President was to automatically nominate someone for Week 3. Catarina nominated Jorge.
8. As they were being saved, each Week 2's saved nominees chose a box that would have a consequence in the competition. Jay's box was the only one to affect the nominations. He had to immediately nominate a housemate with a double vote. He nominated Marta.
9. As he did not understand the rules of the regular nominations, Jay nominated after hearing the other housemates' nominations. Hence, his nominations were voided.
10.     For Week 3's nominations, all housemates nominated two colleagues, and as a result Jaciara, Jardel, Marta, and Nuno were nominated along Jorge. With a twist, some housemates gave a third nomination. All of them took a ball out of a bag, and the pairs with red, blue, and green balls had to nominate together someone between Catarina, Jay, Kasha, and Liliana. Note that these were accumulating nominations with the ones prior. Hence, with 3 votes accumulated, Jay was the last nominee.
11. President Bruno was able to save one nominee. He saved Jay.
12. On a dilemma, Jaciara ended up giving   immunity to Kasha, and   an automatic nomination to Jay.
13.   As new President, Catarina had to automatically nominate one housemate. She nominated Jardel.
14. As President, Catarina was asked to create pairs, which were the following:   Bruno & Marta,   Jaciara & Jay,   Jardel & Kasha, and   Jorge & Liliana. Each housemate nominated individually three housemates and then their pair nulled one of them. Catarina nominated normally and alone.
15.   As the first survivor of Week 4's nominations, Jorge was given the chance to automatically nominate someone that was up for eviction the fewer times thus far; that is either Catarina, or Kasha, or Liliana. He nominated Kasha.
16. As President, Marta had to double one of her nominations.
17.    Jardel was automatically nominated in the beginning of the gala; however, later that night he won the President competition. This did not give him immunity.
18.   As the second survivor of Week 5's nominations, Liliana was given the chance to automatically nominate a housemate. She nominated Jorge.
19. Each housemate was given a number by President Jardel, and the numbers 1, 2, 4, and 5 meant there would be a consequence in the nominations. Jorge nulled one of his nominations; Liliana had to switch one nomination; Catarina gave a third nomination; Marta had to double one of her nominations.
20.   Housemates chose Jardel, Jorge and Marta to compete for a chance for one of them to win a spot in the finale. Jorge won the competition, and was declared the first finalist.
21.   This week, housemates were asked to do a positive nomination, which meant they voted for who they wanted to be in the finale. As Marta was the housemate with the most votes, she became the second finalist of the season, while the remaining housemates were nominated for the last eviction.

Notes

1.    As the first housemates to enter the house, Marco and Marie were each declared leaders of a tribe. These positions gave them some consequences. By winning a task, Marie was able to immune someone. She immuned herself. Marco also won a task and had to automatically nominate someone. He nominated Miguel. This was Marco's only nomination. Then, each had to choose a member of their tribe to give four nominations instead of three. Marie chose Mafalda, and Marco chose Miguel.
2.    The housemates had to decide which new housemate would be immune and who would be automatically nominated. They immuned Melão and nominated Virginia.
3. At the end of the nominations there were six nominees: Bernardo, Mafalda, Marco, Sara, Tanya, Virginia. President Nuno was able to save one of them; he saved Mafalda.
4.   During Week 2, the housemates were divided into two tribes, Yellow (Bernardo, Bruna, Kenedy, Marie, Sara, Vanessa, and leader Virginia) and Blue (Fernando, Mafalda, Marco, leader Melão, Miguel, Nuno, and Tanya). During the week they had to face several challenges, and finally, the yellow team won and gained immunity for Week 3's nominations. At the eviction gala, tribes' leaders faced a dilemma. Tribe yellow leader, Virginia, had to choose the least committed housemate of her team; she chose Sara. Tribe blue leader, Melão, had to choose the most committed housemate on his team; he chose Marco. Hence, Marco and Sara swapped teams, meaning that Marco gained immunity and Sara lost hers.
5. Before Week 4's eviction, housemates were asked to vote for someone to be automatically nominated for Week 5.   Week 4's last three nominees could not be voted.   Nuno received the most votes and got nominated.
6.   As the first survivor of Week 4's eviction, and after accepting several dilemmas, Marie received immunity.
7. Kenedy was given a dilemma: between him and Marie, he should give an automatic nomination to one and the chance to participate in the President competition to the other. He gave the nomination to himself and the participation to Marie. However, there was a twist, and his choices were reversed.   Hence, Marie was automatically nominated.
8. President Marco chose four allies (Kenedy, Marie, Miguel, Vanessa) who would nominate two housemates normally. The other four housemates would have a (random) consequence in their nominations: Bernardo had to double one of his nominations; Bruna nominated 1 housemate;   Fernando was voided from nominating; Nuno had to give 3 votes in any way he wanted.
9.   Marco won the immunity competition.
10. Before the nominations, Kenedy faced a dilemma and had to give two extra nominations to someone. He gave them to Nuno.
11. In a competition, Nuno had to give two extra nominations to someone. He gave them to Kenedy.
12.   In a competition, Vanessa won the first passport to the final, being declared the first finalist of the season.
13. Without knowing which consequence she was giving, Vanessa was asked to give an adjective to all her housemates. Each adjective meant a consequence on the nominations, which were the following: Bernardo nominated 3 housemates;   Bruna was voided from nominating; Fernando and Vanessa nominated 4 housemates; Kenedy nominated 2; Marco had 3 votes to give in any way he wanted; and finally, Nuno nominated 1 housemate.
14. In the first round of the nominations, Fernando, Kenedy, Marco, and Nuno were the nominees. In the second round, the first finalist, Vanessa, had to automatically nominate either Bernardo or Bruna. She nominated Bernardo, and Bruna was declared the second finalist.
