Notes:

In round nine of nominations housemates had to make a "chain of immunity" starting with Mimoza and continuing until only four housemates were not immune. The four housemates not part of the chain were automatically nominated for eviction.

In round twelve of nominations each female housemate had to nominate a male housemate, who would then be automatically up for eviction. The next female housemate to nominate could not nominate a housemate that had already been nominated. The male housemate that was not nominated then had to automatically nominate one of the female housemates.

In round fourteen of nominations nominations were done in secret with each housemate writing down on a sheet of paper who they wanted to nominate. Anjeza received the most nominations with 5 and was up for eviction. The public then voted for whether they wanted to save or evict Anjeza. If she received more evict votes she would be evicted, if she received more save votes she would be saved and immune
Immunity (reality television)

from the next round of nominations.
