Season 5 (2010)

Big Brother Family, occasionally referred to as Big Brother 5, was the first family edition of the reality show Big Brother in Bulgaria. It was also the first family season all over the world. The show launched on Nova Television on 22 March 2010 and continued for 3 months (12 weeks), ending on 10 June. This was the shortest regular Big Brother season in Bulgaria so far, lasting for 81 Days. Big Brother Family was produced by Niko Touparev (Old School Productions). For the very first time the Housemates consisted of families - married couples or ones with a child. The winning family was Kouzmovi, who won 200,000 leva, an apartment and a car. Also, for the first time the Housemates had salary. This was the first regular season to be held in the spring, instead of a VIP-season.

Notes:
^1 Following the first round of nominations, the public was asked to vote for their two favorite families out of the four nominated. The two who received the most votes were then saved from eviction.
^2 Following the argument between David and Eleonora, Big Brother decided to send them to a secret suite for a 'Honey Moon', so they could work on there relationship. As they were still in the suite at the time of nominations, they were both immune in the second round of nominations.
^3 Following the third round of nominations, the public was asked to vote for their favorite family out of the three nominated. The family who received the most votes was then saved from eviction.
^4 On Day 36 Big Brother divided the Housemates into two teams - old Housemates and Intruders. After three special tasks, the old Housemates won the game and had to divide 3 nomination points between the Intruders. They chose to nominate Anthony, Dinko and Plamen with one point each.
^5 Following the fourth round of nominations, the public was asked to vote for their favorite family out of the three nominated. The family who received the most votes was then saved from eviction.
^6 Following the fifth round of nominations, the public was asked to vote for their three favorite families out of the five nominated. The families who received the most votes were then saved from eviction.
^7 During the sixth round of nominations, only the female Housemates were allowed to nominate. They nominated with two points one of the other families (not just a single Housemate), and another one with one point. One of the nominated families was then saved by the public with a positive vote.[2]
