Notes

• ^Note 1 : Estela and Kleber received the most nominations with 4 each. Alessandra, the Head of Household, had the casting vote and chose Estela to be the second nominee.
• ^Note 2 : Adriano won immunity on week four, and he won it the day of house vote, so he was immune only for the house vote but not for the HoH vote.
• ^Note 3 : Estela won immunity on week 6, but she won it before the HoH vote, so she was immune to all the nominations.
• ^Note 4 : Already nominated by the Head of Household, Sergio was the only person to vote, since André had immunity and Kleber and Vanessa's votes would cancel each other out.
• ^Note 5 : For the finale, the public voted for the finalist they want to win Big Brother Brasil.
