As what happened in the Grande Fratello 15, some housemates are already known by the public for having participated in some television programs or for being "relatives" or "ex-boyfriends or ex-girlfriends" of famous people. Therefore, the show also called Grande Fratello Nip by the production or press.
On 3 April 2019, five days before the show begins, four possible competitors were locked up in a ranch nearby the Lazio countryside waiting to learn about their destiny. They are Audrey Chabloz, Angela Losito, Erica Piamonte and Daniele Dal Moro.[2]
In the "Grande Ranch", the four competitors will be challenged with horse saddling, the management and care of farm animals, egg collection and more. And there will be moments of leisure and relaxation in the pool. While they remaining isolated, they were able to interact with the outside through the social networks of Grande Fratello. The cohabitation is informed by the presenter Barbara D'Urso through the show Pomeriggio Cinque.
