THEthe Big Brother VIP 2026 it will not close its doors on May 5th as was said when it started. Mediaset, in fact, never communicated an official end date for the reality show, but among the rumors circulating, May 5th seemed to be the most reliable date. But no. Meanwhile, a new episode will be broadcast tonight: the live broadcast on Friday 24 April with Ilary Blasi as host will start at 10pm. In the studio there will be Selvaggia Lucarelli and Cesara Buonamiciparticularly loved by the public this year. She has unprecedented social consensus, to the point that on X someone asks to give her a raise.
Big Brother VIP 2026: televoting percentages today 24 April, polls, nominations
Antonella Elia is already sure of being in the final since last Friday. All the other competitors are in the balance but those who risk the most are Alessandra Mussolini and Marco Berry, who will know the outcome of the televoting this evening. Last Tuesday Alessandra was nominated by Francesca Manzini, Renato Biancardi, Raimondo Todaro and Marco himself. The nomination, in this case, was mutual. In addition to Mussolini, Berry was nominated by Adriana Volpe and Antonella. The episode broadcast tonight is not an elimination episode: whoever receives the fewest votes from the public will have to undergo a new televoting, being an automatic candidate for the elimination scheduled for next Tuesday.
What do the polls say?
The public wants to save Alessandra. Currently in the survey of Forumfree collects 69.85% of the votes. While Marco stops at 30.15%. A clear detachment, which is also confirmed by a second poll, the one on the absolute favourite. Antonella dominates the ranking with 31.42% of the preferences, followed by Alessandra at 28.42%. Marco closes the ranking at 1.37%. The numbers don’t lie and these, in particular, for Berry don’t bode well for tonight’s match.
Paola Caruso’s secret mission
Convinced that she was eliminated on Tuesday, Paola Caruso is continuing to play in total solitude. She is the first candidate for elimination and is isolated in the Studio Apartmentwith a specific mission. “Others must not discover you” Ilary Blasi told her, inviting her not to make any noise. Tonight he will have the chance to return to the House to enact his revenge.
To pass the time, yesterday he drew up a list of the enemies he will encounter again today. Antonella and Adriana are his “enemies”. Alessandra and Lucia only “enemies”. Predictable. But on his part there was no lack of criticism of Raimondo Todaro: «Either he dances, or he sleeps, or he defends Francesca Manzini». And precisely on the latter, Paola admits that she doesn’t have clear ideas: “It’s not clear who she is.”

Lucia doesn’t give up on Raul, who has already given up on her
As in every Big Brother respectable, even in the sky of the Casa del Big Brother VIP 2026 planes fly with dedications from fans. Yesterday, in particular, two were dedicated to Raul Dumitras and Lucia Ilardo. On the first banner it was written: «Raul & Lucia: real royal couple. We know». AND she started crying with emotion. Not him. In the second, the message was: «RA-L worth a shot #raucia». And while Lucia jumped for joy, Raul didn’t.
Everyone talks about couples, Raul doesn’t. He had already been clear in Tuesday’s episode. Lucia doesn’t interest him. But she doesn’t give up. It’s true that they had become closer, but it’s equally true that he distanced himself just at the moment when interest was growing around them outside. So when she tries to talk about it again, a clear closure comes from Raul: “You’re the one who wants to see something, but there’s nothing.”
Meanwhile, tonight Lucia will be at the center of a debate in which the roommates will establish whether she is an honest competitor or just a fine strategist. AND that’s not all: he will also receive an apology that he has been waiting for for a long time. But by whom?

Alessandra against everyone
In the House of Big Brother VIP 2026 the nomination topic holds sway throughout the week. So yesterday Raimondo explained to Alessandra that he nominated her because she hurt Francesca, who he considers like a sister. Alessandra’s reply was not long in coming: «You are one person now». And then he added «You have to think for yourselfnot through a third party. She could also artificially provoke reactions in us. She may be wrong and you defend her to the bitter end. You don’t live in the House, you only talk to it.”
And if Adriana is convinced that there are two sides in the House, Antonella’s and Alessandra’s, the latter does not disagree. AND he doesn’t even spare a dig at Marco, to whom he said: “You seem like a nice and calm person but you’re not.” Tonight Alessandra will face all her rivals.
When does Big Brother VIP 2026 end? Certainly after the entry of Valeria Marini
Next week there will only be one appointment with the reality show, on Tuesday. The film will air next Friday in prime time on Canale 5 The devil wears Prada. The following week there will be two episodes again: Tuesday 5 and Friday 8 May. At this point the hypothesis takes hold that the end of Big Brother VIP 2026 will be on May 19th. Barring further delays.
Tonight Alessandra and Paola in the room of secrets will discover one that they must not reveal for any reason in the world: on Sunday Valeria Marini will enter the House. Stellar as always.
