Notes
- On Day 1, Ricardo answered the Big Phone and had to nominate automatically one person. He chose Miguel.
- On Day 1, Diana chose one duo to be split. She chose Miro & Joana T and decided to stay with Miro. Due to that, Joana T won immunity for being the only player without a teammate.
- On Day 4, Miro & Diana won the Sun and, hence, the opportunity to give immunity to one contestant on Sunday. They chose Cátia (which ended up with no effect because she became the Leader).
- On Day 8, Frederica & Nuno were automatically nominated due to disrespectful behavior, in the case of not being eliminated (because they were up to vote for the first week).
- On Day 8, Miguel & Catarina were successful in their mission and had to nominate automatically someone. They chose Ana.
- On Day 12, Miguel answered the Big Phone and was automatically nominated for the following round of nominations.
- On Day 15, after Ana got eliminated, a twist was revealed: another housemate would leave that evening. Mafalda, Frederica, and Catarina, for being saved by the viewers against Ana, are immune to this round. For the first time, the nominations were made individually.
- On Day 22, five new housemates entered the house. Without knowing, all of them are up to vote in a separate round, and one of them leaves on Day 26.
- On Day 22, the new housemates randomly chose a twist that would affect the competition. Jéssica had to choose one housemate to leave the game; she chose Diana. Nonetheless, it was a fake eviction and Diana went to a secret room, returning 24 hours later. PatrÃÂcia had to give one nomination in advance and gave it to Diana, who was later (falsely) evicted and PatrÃÂcia's extra nomination didn't count. Bernardo's and Diogo C's twists did not have any effect in the nominations. For Juliana's consequence, check note 10.
- On Day 22, Juliana had to nominate automatically one housemate. She chose Mafalda.
- On Day 23, after returning to the House, Diana had to nominate automatically one housemate. She chose Bernardo.
- On Day 23, Diana also gave a poisoned gift. She gave it to Frederica. On Day 29, Big Brother announced the gift: unable to nominate (voided).
- On Day 29, the house was split into two groups: the oldies (housemates since Day 1) and the fresh (new housemates). Host Cristina Ferreira allowed everyone to switch groups. Bernardo switched to the oldies, and Frederica and Miguel switched to the fresh. Only one group had the chance to become the Leader of the House, chosen by the viewers. The fresh won and Diogo C won the Leader competition.
- On Day 29, the nominations suffered a slight modification: every player makes three nominations, but at least one of them needs to be necessary for somebody in the group that player belongs. Cátia and Jéssica changed their vote after the voting time, so their votes were nullified.
- On Day 34, Joana S received the opportunity to assign two consequences: to choose somebody to start the next nominations with two votes in advance and to choose somebody whose received nominations would count twice. She chose Rúben C for the first twist and Miro for the second. On Day 36, Rúben C walked and Miro was automatically nominated. Joana S chose Bernardo for the first consequence and PatrÃÂcia for the second.
- On Day 36, new housemates, Bárbara and Sónia, had to nominate automatically the contestant they think is the quietest in the game. They chose Miro.
- On Day 36, Diogo M received a dilemma: to keep Mafalda as his teammate, he would be automatically nominated; if he chose to change his teammate, he could choose either one of the new housemates (Bárbara and Sónia) to pair up with. He chose to keep his duo and became automatically nominated.
- On Day 36, for having won the Sun, Frederica and Diogo C had one more vote in this round.
- On Day 45, Miguel was punished for bad behavior towards Catarina. He ceased to be a Leader of the House.
- On Day 50, all the survivors from Week 8's nominations (Bárbara, Diogo C, Jéssica, and PatrÃÂcia) were immune.
- On Day 57, Rúben B pushed the "courage button" and had the opportunity to nominate automatically one housemate (except Diana and Diogo M, who were still up to vote). He chose Bárbara, who also had the opportunity to nominate someone (except the two mentioned earlier and Rúben B). She chose Sónia.
- On Day 57, Bernardo wrongly nominated Tatiana (who was immune from being the Leader of the House), so his nomination was ignored.
- On Day 57, two players were tied with four votes (PatrÃÂcia and Joana). They both faced a flash vote, and PatrÃÂcia won with 65%, being saved from nomination.
- On Day 64, after Joana S got eliminated, it was revealed that another housemate would leave that evening. Mafalda and Sónia, for being saved by the viewers against Joana S, are immune to this round.
- On Day 64, as her last mission as Leader, Tatiana had to spin a roulette that had all the contestants' faces. Oddly enough, the roulette stopped in her face and she had to choose one out of two envelopes. She chose one that ordered her to automatically nominate someone; she nominated PatrÃÂcia.
- On Day 64, as Bernardo was the first one saved from the nominations against Diana and PatrÃÂcia, he had to choose the one he expected to be evicted, and he chose PatrÃÂcia. If the audience evicted PatrÃÂcia, he would win immunity, while if Diana was evicted, he would be automatically nominated. Diana was evicted and Bernardo got automatically nominated.
- On Day 71, the public was given a chance to automatically nominate one housemate between Jéssica, Sónia, and Tatiana. As Tatiana was evicted, only the other two housemates were against the public vote and Jéssica received the most votes to be nominated.
- On Day 78, as Week 11's survivors from eviction, Bernardo, Diogo C, Jéssica, and Sónia faced a dilemma each. They had to choose between two options without knowing the consequences of each option. In sum, Bernardo gave two extra nominations to himself, Diogo C immediately gave one nomination in advance (which was to Bárbara), Jéssica gave herself an automatic nomination and immunity to PatrÃÂcia, and Sónia received immunity.
- On Day 78, as a reward for the Sun task, Miro gave double votes to one housemate.
- On Day 85, before Week 11's eviction, the housemates were asked to nominate someone in advance. Miro received the most votes; however, there was a twist. Miro was not nominated and rather received immunity.
- On Day 85, the Leader Rúben B faced a dilemma and chose between three boxes. The box he chose ordered him to pick a housemate to open one of the other two boxes. Rúben B chose Diogo C and the box he opened had an automatic nomination.
- On Day 92, the housemates voted for who they believed was the most worthy of being a finalist; Miguel received the most votes. Hence, Miguel faced a dilemma: he could accept or refuse to choose between two boxes, one containing a passport to the final and the other having an automatic nomination. Miguel accepted the dilemma and chose one of the boxes. The one he chose contained the automatic nomination.
