Day 4
Big Brother tasks the houseguests to split up into the groups of their respective seasons. The group that fails to win the challenge will all face the viewers. However, Nina, Annika and Finn will all be immune this week for a very specific reason that will be revealed ... next week. They will still compete in this challenge, though. Season 5, ultimately, fails the challenge and faces the viewers.
Big Brother tells the viewers that they are voting to give one person a power to Auto Nominate another houseguest next week but only from two specific groups. This doesn't count as an Eviction, nor a Fake Eviction.

Day 6
Day 7
It is revealed that the viewers were not voting to evict somebody but, rather, to give them an advantage going into next week. From Season 5, they have chosen Sigmund to receive this advantage.
Sigmund is able to Auto Nominate another houseguest next week but only from two specific groups with the first being Season 5. As Seasons 7 and 6 were the first two teams to finish the challenge, that leaves Season 4 as the other group. Sigmund chooses to auto nominate Mira Lindbergh with his reasoning being that she has won before.
Big Brother then reveals that going into next week, as Season 7 won the challenge, Alzbeta, Nina and Viliam are all immune. Everybody else, even Sigmund, is vulnerable.
