Big Brother VIP 2022, also known as Big Brother VIP 2 is the current second season of Big Brother VIP, hosted by Arbana Osmani. The season started airing on 24 December 2022 on Top Channel.[1] The whole season, live from the house, can be viewed in two live pay-per-view channels, with the name Big Brother VIP 1 and Big Brother VIP 2, which are available on Albanian television platform DigitAlb. Arbër Hajdari returned as opinionist[2] and was joined by Zhaklin Lekatari, replacing Balina Bodinaku.[3] Megi Pojani hosted the spin-off show Big Brother VIP – Fans' Club, replacing Dojna Mema.[4] Ardit Cuni was the new opionist for the spin-off show Fans' Club.
Production
Due to satisfactory ratings of the first season, it was announced a second season of Big Brother VIP, by the executive producers, Lori Hoxha and Sara Hoxha.[5][6] On 22 February 2022, on the show of Top Channel Ftese ne 5, Arbana Osmani, the presenter of the show said: "Big Brother 2 will come in the end of December" and Lori Hoxha, the producer of the show was asked from the journalist: "Are you ready for the second season?" and then Hoxha said: "Of course."[7][8]
On 26 June 2022, Lori Hoxha was asked by her followers on the social media Instagram, when will begin Big Brother Vip 2. Hoxha answered "At the end of December, directly after the end of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, that will occupy the screen throughout November and most of December and will have the dedicated space on Top Channel as always [...] But until then, the daily and prime programming will be "on top", so you won't feel the lack too much."[9]
It was reported, that Arbana Osmani, will not be the host of the second season and it was reported that the host, of Për'puthen and Dancing with the Stars, Bora Zemani would be hosting the second season of Big Brother VIP, but on October 2022, the official page of Top Channel on Instagram has published a video with the most spicy moments of the first season, as well as the extraordinary success of the reality show, introducing the name of the moderator: "The program that broke every viewership record, the program that captivated Albanians everywhere, to the point of obsession... Big Brother Vip, with Arbana Osmani, soon on Top Channel".[10] Also on 6 November 2022, Osmani on her interview on the sunday show of Top Channel E Diell said: "I have told the public that I will be in Big Brother VIP. We have had things clear and it is not that I am influenced by what has been written."[11][12]
On 16 December 2022, Top Channel announced that the show will begin airing on 24 December 2022.[13]
Like in the previous season, the location for the season will be again in the big studio in Tirana with the name Studio Nova, but with changes.[14] The housemates live together in the house, where 24 hours a day their every word and every action is recorded by cameras and microphones in all the rooms in the house.[15]
Housemates
On Day 1, fifteen housemates entered the house during launch.[16] On Day 11, Efi Dhedhes & Mikela Pupa, who played as one housemate, from now on they both play alone as two individual housemates.[17]

Controversies
The first teaser and announcement of Big Brother VIP 2 included a clip of singer Fifi, housemate of season 1, fainting during the show. The singer reacted with a video statement, and criticized the production for the use of that clip. Singer Beatrix Ramosaj, also housemate of season 1, supported the singer and her statement. Therefore, the production deleted the teaser, but also deleted both singers' songs from Top Awards, basically "blacklisting" them.
Luiz Ejlli while talking to Kiara Tito, confessed him that he suffers from a tumor. However, he denied suffering from a tumor on the live show; but it was actually a friend of him who was suffering. He said he was having the same symptoms and was doubting wether he also was suffering from tumor. The production convinced him to go to a hospital, live on that night, to get a full diagnosis and Luiz would finally be more relieved. The results were totally normal and didn't show any sign of tumor. This caused the irritation of many fans, who claimed that production was trying to make him look bad. This resulted into a protest near the Big Brother house, few days later.
For the first time in the history of Big Brother VIP, there was a case of physical violence. Housemate Kejvina Kthella slapped housemate Luiz Ejlli and got disqualified after.[18]
Reception
Second season of Big Brother VIP was also highly liked and quickly became the most watched TV programme among all productions in Albania. Fans of housemate Luiz Ejlli, on 14 January 2023, at 13:00 got organised and went near the Big Brother house, to show him his support. This was one of the most disccused topics of the days, where many people said it was an overreaction of the fans.
