Anya vs Ivayla
During the show, the relationship between Anya and Ivayla fell apart. Anya asked to leave the House voluntarily on Day 36. However, she asked the producers to open two phone lines - one for her and one for Ivayla, and the viewers had to decide which one of them to be evicted on Day 38. During the special eviction night the two reconciled and asked Big Brother to close the phone lines. The two returned into the House together. However, only a few minutes later they had a new disagreement over the voting results, announced by the producers - 51,7% for Ivayla and 48,3% for Anya. Anya walked out voluntarily the same night. All the money from viewers' SMS votes were given for the week's charity cause.
House
VIP Brother 3 was shot in the House in Novi khan, where the Housemates from Big Brother 4 lived. However, it was entirely redecorated. As in the previous two seasons, there were some similarities with Celebrity Big Brother UK - there were no cameras in the bathrooms and there was a big ashtray in the garden. For the first time, there was a washing machine in the House.
Big Brother's Big Mouth
The companion talk show Big Brother's Big Mouth returned during VIP Brother 3, and was hosted by the pop-folk singer Kamelia.[2] The concept of the show this season was different. There were not "evil tongues". Kamelia was often entering the House, asking the Housemates different questions. The show was aired three times a week - on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. Previously the show was aired during Big Brother 3 and was hosted by Dim Dukov, contestant in VIP Brother 1.
Ratings
The launch of VIP Brother 3 was watched by nearly 1 600 000 viewers, beating bTV's Music Idol.[3]
