During the first live show, Alfonso announced the news to the housemates that Grande Fratello decided that a male housemate would leave the house. Only female housemates could vote for which male housemate they want to evict. Fabio received the most votes, he left the house immediately. In fact, he wasn't evicted and moved to the Privèe, but the housemates believed he was evicted.

Fabio returned to the main house during the second live show.

Only male housemates could nominate and the housemate that received the most votes would have power. Rita received the most votes and she had to nominate one of the four former housemates in the Privè. She nominated Patrick.
