Big Brother Greece 5, was the fifth season of the Greek reality television series Big Brother. The show followed sixteen contestants, known as housemates, who were isolated from the outside world for an extended period of time in a custom built House. Each week, one or more of the housemates were evicted by a public vote. The last remaining housemate, Giannis Foukakis, was declared the winner, winning a cash prize of €170,000.^[1]

The season lasted 119 days and was presented by Roula Koromila.^[2] It launched on Alpha TV on October 3, 2010, and ended on January 30, 2011. As with other Alpha TV programs, the show also aired live in Cyprus through their affiliate Sigma TV.

Alpha TV was also partner with Greece's biggest pay tv provider NOVA Greece to launch a 23-hour Big Brother channel on their satellite platform.^[3] However, the show on NOVA was cut by ESR.

Production

Alpha TV announced in July 2010 that they have bought the rights to the Big Brother format, and aired their own revamped version in Fall 2010.^[4] After an open call for participants, a record 6,000 submissions were received by Alpha TV.^[5]

Notes

: On Week 5, Mihalis had immunity after having won a competition. Giorgos was automatically nominated for eviction by Big Brother for refusing to nominate.
: On Week 6, Maria was immune from nominations as she was a new housemate.
: On Week 7, Christina was immune from nominations as she was a new housemate.
: On Week 8, Alexis was automatically nominated for eviction by Big Brother for refusing to nominate although he was able to be nominated by other housemates.
: On Week 10, As Giannis F. was "captain" this week, he has the right to award immunity to another housemate, but he refused, therefore, was automatically nominated.
: On Week 11, As Antonis was "captain" this week, he has the right to award immunity to another housemate, but he refused, therefore, was automatically nominated.
: On Week 13, Elias, who was the "captain" of Week 12, gave Evelina immunity from nominations this week. Stella, as she was the "captain" this week, her nomination votes counted as double.
: On Week 14, Stella was banned from nominating (broke one of the rules), but was immune from nominations as she found the lucky coin in a pie the housemates were given. As Giorgos was "captain" this week, he has the right to award immunity to another housemate, but he refused, therefore, was automatically nominated.
: On Week 15, As Alexis was "captain" this week, he has the right to award immunity to another housemate, but he refused, therefore, was automatically nominated.
: On Week 16, Giannis F. and Stella were automatically nominated for eviction by Big Brother for refusing to nominate. Elias was banned from nominating as punishment for revealing his nominations last week. However, he was elected as the "captain" for the week and gave Evelina immunity from nominations.
