After announcing the nominations, Paula decided to use her Power of Veto and saved Jessica. Ana Paula and Mara went to the public vote for eviction. : On the week on the HoH competition, as the first seven eliminated housemates (Kaysar, Jaqueline, Breno, Gleici, Patricia, Nayara and Paula) would have to face random consequences, placed in bottles.

As a result of a three-way tie between Diego, Gleici and Mahmoud (with three votes each), HoH Patricia had to break the tie and choose which two would be nominated. She nominated Gleici and Mahmoud. : This week was a fake double eviction. Whilethe housemate with most votes would be evicted as usual (Mahmoud), the housemates who got fewest votes from the public would be fake evicted and move to a secret room (Gleici).

She will then have to nominate one contestant automatically for eviction on Friday. : Week 7's HoH competition was contested in pairs. The winning pair was Jessica and Paula. In addition to being Co-HoH, the duo had the right to choose between a cash prize of 10,000 reais (chosen by Jessica) and immunity (chosen by Paula) : Week 8's HoH competition was contested in pairs. The winning pair was Ana Clara & Ayrton (with Ana Clara participating in the competition) and Gleici.

He nominated the Lima's Family (Ana Clara & Ayrton). : From this point forward, all nominations would be made in face-to-face voting. : As a result of a tie between Ana Clara & Ayrton and Viegas (with three votes each), HoH Kaysar had to break the tie and choose one to be nominated. He nominated Ana Clara & Ayrton. : In week 11, the Housemates competed in a special competition for immunity and a new car. After the competition lasted almost 43 hours, Big Brother stopped the competition for the health of the Housemates. Both remaining Housemates Ana Clara (representing herself and Ayrton) and Kaysar each winning a car. However, they had to choose among themselves who would win the immunity. The immunity winner would be ineligible for HoH and not vote during nominations. The pair chose to give immunity to Ana Clara & Ayrton. : During Week 11 Nominations, HoH Paula nominated Kaysar. As Ana Clara & Ayrton had immunity and were not able to vote, Breno and Gleici did not vote as they could only vote for each other and hence their votes would essentially cancel the other's out. As his vote would be the only valid vote cast, Kaysar had the power to name the second nominee between Breno and Gleici. He chose to nominate Breno.
