Boris was immune and he couldn't nominate during the fourth nominations. The other housemates couldn't nominate him as well.
This time, the housemates were eligible to nominate only one housemate instead of two. Originally, 8 out of 14 housemates were nominated and those housemates were Anton, Daniel Z., Dzhuliana, Miglena, Sashka, Tsvetelin and Vanya. Miglena, who had the role of an executive director during the new weekly mission "BBTV", was eligible to save two of the nominated housemates from the possible eviction. She chose to save Daniel Z. and herself.
The fifth nominations were face-to-face. The housemates were obliged to nominate only one housemate and everyone who received at least one nomination faced eviction.
Alfredo's nomination to Daniel P. was voided because he didn't give a reason to nominate him.
Originally, 7 out of 12 housemates were nominated and those housemates were Alfredo, Boris, Daniel Z., Angie, Miglena, Vanya and Yonislav. As Aleksandra B. and Daniel P. were planning a marriage in the house, they were the lucky housemates who had the opportunity to save two of the nominees. A "wheel of luck" was introduced which featured the 7 nominated housemates. The wheel was spun by Aleksandra and Daniel and it revealed Boris and Daniel Z. as the two saved housemates from the sixth eviction.
Miglena was immune and she couldn't nominate during the seventh nominations. The other housemates couldn't nominate her as well.
Yonislav's nomination to Alfredo was voided because he didn't give a reason to nominate him.
During the eighth and final nominations, the housemates had to choose the housemate they wanted to win (the name in) and the housemate who they didn't want to win (the name in black). They were able to vote for themselves.
The public were voting to win rather than to save.
