From 22 June until 22 July auditions were held in the ten biggest cities in Bulgaria - Pleven, Veliko Tarnovo, Rousse, Shumen, Varna, Bourgas, Stara Zagora, Plovdiv, Blagoevgrad and Sofia. 13 955 candidates in total showed, 2700 of which were in Sofia.

On 15 September, 10 of the Housemates were isolated in separate secret places. 10 women entered the House on 22 September. Originally, an eleventh Housemate - Nelly was expected to enter the House. However, she lost consciousness before entering the show and was decided not to take part in Big Brother 4. Instead, Violeta entered the show the next day. 11 men entered the House on Day 4. On Day 10, one of them - Tsvetan, was sent into the women's part of the House, and one of the women - Irena, into the men's. Two new Housemates - Vencislav and Denislav, entered the House on Day 53.

The House

Originally, it was planned either Big Brother 4 or VIP Brother 3 to air in the beginning of 2008. However, the start of a new season has been delayed due to the competition for the building company. Big Brother 4 is being recorded in a new house near Sofia in the village of Novi khan, as the old one has been destroyed. There is a secret room, two bathrooms and a shop. The total area of the House is 3000 km2. There is a fireplace at the middle of the garden. There is the airplane wrackage, where the Housemates currently live. A total of 70 cameras will be following the new Housemates' every move.
