VIP Brother 3 was the third season of the celebrity version of the Bulgarian reality television show Big Brother. It was launched on Nova Television on 16 March 2009, and ended on 10 May 2009 with an eleven-hour season finale starting at 3:00 pm and finishing after 1:00 am.

Production
Broadcast
The show was aired on Nova Television and Diema 2.
The new charity format
Unlike the previous two seasons, VIP Brother 3 featured 17 celebrity Housemates, who were not competing for a cash prize, but for charity causes. Each one of the 8 weeks was dedicated to a different cause, making the causes eight. During their stay in the House the Housemates had special tasks. Sometimes they were also gathering money outside the House. 13 Housemates entered the House on Day 1 and 4 more on Day 2.
The 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.[1] 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.
Housemates
The new VIP-Housemates were 17. All of them were competing for charity causes during their stay in the House. They were collecting money through the tasks given to them by Big Brother. A new guest celebrity Housemate was entering the House every week. He/she stayed in the House for one week, which made the celebrity Housemates in this season 25 in total.
13 Housemates entered the House on Day 1. They were joined by 4 other Housemates on Day 2.

Relationship between Anya and 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.
