Overall

edit

This season of Gran Hermano made Telecinco the first broadcaster to reach the eighth season of the Big Brother.

The house was divided into four apartments that were assigned by drawing lots: an individual apartment (Daniel L.); one for two people (Laura F. and Javier); one for five (Laura S., Gemma, Mahme, Daniel R. and Pulpillo); and one for six (Kiko, Marusky, Greta, Kiran, Miriam and Naiala). In this edition the competitors were able to use the immediate nomination, meaning that competitors could nominate at any time of the day and were given six points to distribute as they wished. A competitor could use immediate nomination only once, with no other competitor aware that they had used it. If the competitors did not manage to pass a test they could obtain the budget by winning a "Panic Room" challenge.

The last competitor was chosen at random from among all the initial competitors. The chosen one was Romina, with the number 133, though a mistake was discovered in the drawing since the royal extracted number was 733, number belonging to Laura Sevillano, whom they could locate some days later. Since the mistake had been of the program and not of the competitors, Mercedes Milá said in the following show that there was given to both girls the opportunity to spend the tests both to turn into competitors of the house 8. Romina did not manage to enter the house because it gave positive in the analysis of cánnabis and because the number was not his but that of his mother since they exchanged them when it was extracted.

The slogan of this edition was: "you will see everything".

  • Naiala and Gemma appeared naked in Interviú (a popular magazine that publishes naked artistic photography featuring famous people).
  • Daniel López started to do porn films.
  • In 2010, Marusky and Daniel Rubio entered as a couple on "Gran Hermano: El Reencuentro" (All Stars). They were evicted one week later.
