Note : On Day 7, it was revealed on BB MAG that Sónia was the Leader and she was immune for the first nomination. The housemates didn't know this, so they still could nominate her. At the end of the nominations, she can swap one of the nominees for one of her choice. If she is among the ones with the most votes, she has to use this power. Fábio, Pedro Soá and Sónia were the original nominees. As the Leader, Sónia replaced herself with Diogo. : After two weeks of quarantine, housemates were finally able to enter the house. However, one of them will have a shortcut and be evicted before this stage. Therefore, only 17 housemates will enter the house. : As the two housemates saved from the previous eviction, Diogo and Pedro Soá became the first Leaders of Big Brother. They decided who would nominate in the Diary Room or face-to-face. : As punishment for Hélder used inappropriate homophobic language, the public will decide whether he should be ejected or not. : As a new housemate, Teresa decided who would be nominated on the Diary Room and face-to-face, as well as choosing one housemate to be banned from nominating. She chose Sónia. : The public voted on the official app on their favorites. The housemates with the most votes would win privileges, one winning immunity and the other having the power to save one of the nominees. Diogo was chosen as the favorite and the public gave him immunity, however, he would only win it if he accepted a dilemma proposed by Big Brother and he denied it. Iury was the second most voted and gained the power to save one of the original nominees. She accepted the dilemma and saved Hélder.
