Housemate exchange On December 17, 2009, the Spanish version of Big Brother called Gran Hermano 11 revealed a housemate exchange with another country will take place. It was revealed the exchange will be with Grande Fratello; the decision most likely comes as the television station that programs the Spanish and Italian versions of Big Brother are owned by the same company, Mediaset. On December 29, during the spin-off show of Gran Hermano: El Debate, it was shown to the Gran Hermano housemates that the Italian housemates taking part of the exchange will be Carmela and Massimo; they arrived at the Gran Hermano house on January 3, 2010; that same night it was announced that the Gran Hermano housemates involved in the exchange are Saray and Gerardo. The Gran Hermano housemates arrived the next day in the Grande Fratello house (Day 71) and stayed till January 9 (Day 77). Carmela and Massimo left the Gran Hermano house early January 10 and returned to the Grande Fratello house on January 11 (Day 78) during the eviction show.

Notes On launch night there was an uneven number of housemates to enter the house, as a result of this Big brother nominated Alessia and Cristina for eviction immediately. It was up to the male housemates to vote for which they wanted to stay. Starting on launch night the public was asked to vote for the housemates they wanted to save from the first round of nominations. Carmela, Daniela, Diletta, Mara, and Tullio received the fewest votes and were the only housemates eligible to be nominated for eviction. As Maicol received the most save votes in the public vote, he was given the power to save one person from eviction instead of nominating. As new housemates, Gabriele, Mauro and Veronica were automatically immune from eviction. Following last week's eviction, the public was asked to vote for the housemates they wanted to save from the second round of nominations. Camila, Cristina, Davide, Giorgio, Mara, and Sabrina received the fewest votes and were the only housemates eligible to be nominated for eviction. As Alberto received the most save votes in the public vote, he was given the power to save two people from eviction instead of nominating. As Carmela and Maicol received the second and third most save votes in the public vote, they were banned from nominating. Davide, Giorgio and Tullio were automatically nominated for eviction by the producers. The producers then chose Diletta to be allowed to save one of the nominees and she chose to save Tullio. Following last week's eviction, the public was asked to vote for the housemates they wanted to save from the third round of nominations. Camila, Cristina, Giorgio, Mara, Tullio and Veronica received the fewest votes and were the only housemates eligible to be nominated for eviction. As Alberto, Maicol, and Mauro received the most votes to save they were not eligible to nominate. Due to the disproportionate ratio of male to female housemates, all the female housemates were given immunity in round six of nominations. Following last week's eviction, the public was asked to vote for the housemates they wanted to save from the seventh round of nominations. Diletta, Giorgio, Mara, Marco, and Tullio received the fewest votes and were the only housemates eligible to be nominated for eviction. In round seven, the three housemates who received the most nominations would be up for eviction as opposed to the regular two. Following the last eviction, the public was asked to vote for the housemates they wanted to save from the seventh round of nominations. Carmen, Cristina, Daniele, Mara, Mattia and Tullio received the fewest votes and were the only housemates eligible to be nominated for eviction. In round eight, immune housemates had to nominate one male and one female housemate who was not immune.
