• ^Note 1 : The Lima's Family (Ana Clara, Ayrton, Eva and Jorge) entered the house on day 1 already nominated. The audience had to choose two to stay in the game. On day 7, Eva and Jorge had the fewest votes and were evicted. Ana Clara and Ayrton remained in the competition as a single housemate billed as Lima Family.
• ^Note 2 :   On a special competition, the team formed by Caruso, Lucas, Viegas and Wagner was victorious and won two immunities and two prizes of R $5,000, to be distributed among the team. Caruso and Viegas chose R$5,000, while Lucas and Wagner chose immunity.
• ^Note 3 : This week, the HoH (Mahmoud) had to nominate two housemates for eviction. The first nominee had to be chosen shortly after the end of the HoH competition (Ana Paula). On Sunday voting, the HoH had to make his second nomination (Mara).
• ^Note 4 : Paula won the Power of Veto that could undo the HoH's second nomination (Mara), housemate's nomination (Jessica) or not interfere with the nominations. After announcing the nominations, Paula decided to use her Power of Veto and saved Jessica. Ana Paula and Mara went to the public vote for eviction.
• ^Note 5 :     On the week on the HoH competition, as the first seven eliminated housemates (Kaysar, Jaqueline, Breno, Gleici, Patricia, Nayara and Paula) would have to face random consequences, placed in bottles. Upon being eliminated from the challenge, Jaqueline ended up taking the bottle with a consequence of being automatically nominated for the eviction. While Breno took the bottle that gave immunity.

• ^Note 10 :   Caruso won immunity during the Head of Household competition after picking the golden ball.
• ^Note 11 : This week the winner of the Power of Immunity, instead of giving immunity to someone else, would win the immunity for him/herself. Viegas won the PoI, the housemates were only informed about the twist during the Nominations.
• ^Note 12 : This week, the housemates nominated in a face-to-face round of voting, with the two highest vote receivers being nominated along with the HoH's nominee.

• ^Note 13 :     This week was a fake double eviction. Whilethe housemate with most votes would be evicted as usual (Mahmoud), the housemates who got fewest votes from the public would be fake evicted and move to a secret room (Gleici). Fake evictee Gleici moved to the Lighthouse and was informed she will be immune for next nomination. She will then have to nominate one contestant automatically for eviction on Friday.
• ^Note 14 : Week 7's HoH competition was contested in pairs. The winning pair was Jessica and Paula. In addition to being Co-HoH, the duo had the right to choose between a cash prize of 10,000 reais (chosen by Jessica) and immunity (chosen by Paula)

The immunity winner would be ineligible for HoH and not vote during nominations. The pair chose to give immunity to Ana Clara & Ayrton.
• ^Note 22 : During Week 11 Nominations, HoH Paula nominated Kaysar. As Ana Clara & Ayrton had immunity and were not able to vote, Breno and Gleici did not vote as they could only vote for each other and hence their votes would essentially cancel the other's out. As his vote would be the only valid vote cast, Kaysar had the power to name the second nominee between Breno and Gleici. He chose to nominate Breno.
• ^Note 23 : Kaysar won the Final HoH, winning his place in the finale. He nominated Paula.

She nominated Ana Clara & Ayrton, making Gleici the second finalist. Paula and Ana Clara & Ayrton faced each other in the final eviction vote to determine the third finalist.
• ^Note 24 : For the final, the public will vote for the housemate they want to win Big Brother Brasil 18.
