VIP Brother

VIP Brother 1 (Bulgaria)

VIP Brother 1 was the first season of the Big Brother's spin-off Big Brother VIP. In it, the Housemates are only famous people. The show follows the main Big Brother rules, but with some changes. For example, in VIP Brother the show's duration is shorter - a month (29 Days - like in most of the countries it is aired in). The nominations and evictions are twice a week.

VIP Brother 1 Bulgaria started on 13 March 2006 and ended on 10 April 2006. The hosts were Niki Kunchev and Evelina Pavlova. The show was aired on Nova Television. The winner was the pop-folk singer Konstantin, who was chosen by 78% of the audience. He won 50 000 leva.
