Big Brother VIP Albania |
Big Brother Albania is the Albanian version of the international reality television Big Brother created by producer John de Mol in 1997. The show follows a number of contestants, known as housemates, who are isolated from the outside world for an extended period of time in a custom-built house. Each week, one of the housemates is evicted by a public vote, with the last housemate remaining winning a cash prize.[1]
The show started airing from 24 February 2008 on Top Channel and it has had nine seasons to date. Arbana Osmani hosted the first seven seasons and the ninth one. Ledion Liço hosted the eighth season as Osmani was pregnant and took time off to be with her family.
The eviction show aired on Saturdays except for the seventh season where the eviction show was moved to Fridays.
Live pay-per-view channels are available on albanian TV platform DigitAlb.
