THEthe Big Brother VIP 2026 returns to air tonight, Friday 8 May, on Canale 5 immediately after The Wheel of Fortune, starting around 10pm. To comment on the dynamics from the outside there will be Cesara Buonamici and Selvaggia Lucarelli, the commentators who for the presenter Ilary Blasi in this edition are two real pillars: on their part, in fact, there is never a shortage of sharp comments and some ironic jabs but not too difficult to ignore.
Big Brother VIP 2026: televoting percentages today, polls, news, nominations
There are four of them televoting: Marco Berry, Francesca Manzini, Lucia Ilardo and Adriana Volpe. When there are only four episodes left until the end, each round of nominations becomes a continuous showdown. And when there are nine left in the game, every name becomes weighty. AND no one, with the exception of the two finalists Alessandra Mussolini and Antonella Elia, is truly safe. And on May 19th neither do they.
Who is leading in the polls?
The first thermometer of satisfaction comes from online surveys, which photograph a clear situation. When asked who the public wants to save, come on ForumFreeAdriana leads the ranking with 41.11%followed by Lucia with 37.86%. Behind them is Francesca at 12.54%, while Marco closes with 8.48%. It seems like a two-way challenge between Adriana and Lucia, with Francesca and Marco decidedly more exposed. But percentages alone are never enough to write the fate of a competitor.
Whoever receives the fewest votes will not go out tonight, but will be the first to end up in the televoting, thus risking going out next Tuesday. The second poll on the “house favourite” Alessandra confirms at 32.72%, followed by Antonella at 30.41%. AND Marco still last with 1.15%.
There’s a surprise elimination tonight
What competitors don’t know is that during tonight’s episodein addition to finding out who will go to televoting again in view of Tuesday’s episode, Ilary Blasi will open a flash televoting. One of the competitors still in the game, with the exception of the two finalists, will be released this evening. And speaking of the two finalists, Antonella and Alessandra will come face to face tonight for a confrontation that doesn’t bode well. They are now declared enemies.
What if Adriana will have to defend herself from accusations of extreme strategy, Francesca will tell something more about the relationship she has with her family.
Marco Berry, the most discussed competitor of Big Brother VIP 2026
“Illusionist, mentalist and provocateur”: this is how Marco introduced himself when he entered the House. But he showed few illusions, mentalism even less so. However, there are many provocations. From the first days it has always been at the center of the most heated confrontations. Over the weeks he alternated declarations of great sensitivity with moments of strong harshness towards the other competitors.
With Francesca, in particular, he got into very heated clashes. From the Selvaggia studio Lucarelli has repeatedly underlined how his interventions are almost ruthless. A few days ago he wanted to leave the house after yet another argument with Francesca, only to then change his mind.

Raul Dumitras dumps Lucia once again
As if it hadn’t been clear enough previously, even in the last few hours Raul has returned to distancing himself from Luciawho said she was interested in him. Speaking with Alessandra, he once again remarked on the lack of coherence in the behavior of Lucia, who moves between him and Renato. Not only does it bother Raul that “she’s always teasing”.
And he even goes so far as to say that he can never be anything more than a friend. Perhaps it is the last time he talks about it, also in light of the news regarding Lucia, who is once again close to Renato.

Is the flashback between Lucia and Renato just a flash in the pan?
After a dinner in the studio apartment with toasts and increasingly intimate confidences, Lucia and Renato’s evening took an unexpected turn. Lucia and Renato are kissing again, this time hiding under a pillowin the night between Wednesday and Thursday. However, many on social media argue that it is just a matter of strategy. Particularly from her, currently nominated. In the last few hours Lucia has returned to talking about shared emotions. And Renato? He started laughing…
Raimondo Todaro and the crux of the final Big Brother VIP 2026
Raimondo is increasingly central to the dynamics of the House. And out. On the one hand his position in the game confirms him among the strong and competitive competitors, on the other hand external problems begin to emerge that could complicate his path. In recent hours he has said he is worried that his girlfriend may have reacted badly to the fact that she was not mentioned during last Tuesday’s episodeduring which he retraced his “line of life”.
Furthermore, on Sunday 17 May, two days before the final, a theater show is scheduled in Palermo: tickets are still on sale on TicketOne. He will have to abandon the Big Brother VIP 2026 before playing for victory?
