Repechage

On Day 44, due to the low number of women in the house, the evicted female housemates faced a public voting and the two with most votes re-entered the house for a week. Laura and Miriam were chosen to re-enter and they could save a nominated housemate along with the rest of female housemates, and they will play a key part in this week's food task. After Jose María's departure, it was announced that Miriam and/or Laura would be given a second chance to enter the house again as official housemates. The public will decide which one will enter, having the chance to vote for the two of them and also for none of them to enter. If one of them enter the house, one housemate will be evicted as a replacement. If both of them enter the house, then two housemates will be evicted.

Twist

You are inside

After the first eviction, every week a viewer chosen by the random phone call from Gran Hermano, will go into the house with the mission of saving one of the nominated housemates. The housemate who receives the next number of nominations will be nominated for eviction.

Controversies

On 19 November 2019, digital newspaper El Confidencial published a video showing that Carlota Prado would have allegedly been the victim in the house of sexual abuse while drunk, perpetrated by her then partner José María López. Production team continued recording the reaction after showing her the video footage.[1] [2] Many (at least 30) sponsor companies retired advertisement from Gran Hermano VIP 7 after this incident.[3]

On 18 April 2023, José María López was sentenced to 15 months in prison for sexually assaulting a reality show contestant.[4]
