Big Brother Ganji Islands VIP 2021 is the second season of the Ganjian reality spin-off Big Brother Ganji Islands VIP. It began airing on 13 September 2021 on Jabulani. Sonya Hasmati will host the show.
This season revolved around 14 celebrities living in a house together isolated from the outside world as they competed for ɠ500,000 ($250,000) to donate to their chosen charity. They were constantly filmed by the cameras set up during their time in the house. The season was pre-recorded unlike the first VIP season, except for the live finale, where the Ganjian public decided which of the three celebrities would win the show.
The season was filmed in July-August 2021 in the Big Brother Ganji house, located on a former military island outside of Buju Town.
Format
The new format (2020-present) added emphasis to the competitive aspect of surviving the eviction process. Because of this, the housemates will be allowed to strategise, politic and collude about the nominations and evictions. There is no Power of Veto. The Ganjian public will decide the winner at the end of the season.
Nominations: Once every two or three days, the celebrities compete in a Nomination Challenge. The winner of the competition has the power to nominate 2-3 people depending on the amount of housemates left. After the challenge, the winning housemate will be called to the Diary Room by Big Brother to name 2-3 nominees, and give Big Brother a proper reason for their nominations.
Eviction: On eviction night, all housemates must vote to evict one of the nominees, with the exception of the nominating housemate, who will only cast a tiebreaker vote if there is a tie. The nominated housemates do not vote when there are only two nominees. The eviction vote is by secret ballot, with housemates casting their votes orally in the Diary Room to Big Brother, and must provide a reason for their vote. The nominee with the most votes is evicted from the house.
Finale: The Ganjian public will vote for the winner at the end of the season when only 3 celebrities remain.
