The House changed location and was built from scratch near Gërdec, Albania with a similar architecture and format as last year's one.
This season of Big Brother Albania brought a lot of controversy to the show, mainly thanks to the careless remarks made by the housemates and their disputable thoughts.
It is the first time in the Big Brother Albania history that the final duo was made up by two female housemates.
[5] During the Reunion episode, Meridian, Jona and Valer publicly expressed their shock and disappointment on Nevila being the winner.
The panelist, Armand Peza stood on Omeri's side while Ardit and Juliana were the only housemates that thought Nevila deserved to win.
[8] The production team of Big Brother Albania had to undergo some series of changes after last year's viewership drop.
First it was announced that four-year signature executive producer Rezart Aga wouldn't be returning and Zefina Hasani was going to replace him.
Hasani at the time was also executive producing Dancing with the Stars and expressed her wish to return to the crew of Big Brother Albania during a live television interview.
[11] The night of the live show was also moved from Saturdays to Fridays at 21:00 CET to give Big Brother a longer-lasting time slot.
Before the seventh season began the producers of the series promised a lot of changes and a return to the basic format of Big Brother.
The rumors were denied a lot of times until it was officially announced that AMC had left Big Brother for good.
The great concern was if the producers and Top Channel were going to afford their plans on a new home and stage for the show.
When the seventh season started it was revealed that SIGAL Uniqa Group Austria was replacing AMC as the general sponsor of the reality show.
[15] Because of the ratings expected to be really high for the season premiere there was a flux of commercials before the first live show started.
This also affected the live show to begin with forty-five minutes delay and caused a lot of displease on the fans and the viewers.
Anabel, an Albanian magazine posted on their Facebook page what a fan wrote to them saying: "I had time to shower, dry my hair, pet my dog, play some video games, talk to my grandmother, and when I came back to see they were still showing commercials".
Fatma Haxhialliu, a famous Albanian blogger, expressed her lack of amazement but praised the designers of the House for giving it a more original look and for making it seem less spacious.
While the other housemates were paired as follows: Ardit with Violeta, Enkelejd with Matilda, Fatjon with Daniela, Meridian with Mikela, Valer with Nevila, Rigels with Jona, Ervin with Andia and Erald with Esterina, the female housemates who entered as a single one were given a mission by Big Brother to split the couples and make them fight.
[22] The following live show Big Brother asked each of the single female housemates for the name of the couple they thought they had split.
The game in pairs was allegedly made to help the secret of the marriage of Matilda and Fatjon and make the housemates more connected to each other.
[25] A lot of racial comments were made during this season because for the first time in the history of Big Brother in Albania a Romani woman, Esterina, entered the house.
The panelist of the show, Armand Peza also criticized Meridian and Erald for their racial slur and their racist jokes towards Esterina and other housemates.
While this was happening, none of the other housemates, who were watching the whole scene, attempted to stop Jona or grab the knife from her hand.
Jona was then called to the Diary Room by the production team and she apologized publicly about her actions and said she had been in the heat of the moment and didn't have the nerves to put up with Rigels's games as she had not eaten for days.
Lots of critics blamed the schedule change from Saturdays to Fridays stating that: "Big Brother Albania [now had to compete] against Zonë e Lirë.
[28] During the third live show, Big Brother Albania lost a lot of viewers and set a new season low to date.
On March 21, 2014 live show, Big Brother had a spike in ratings due to new entrances in the House.
