On the official Big Brother Vip Albania Instagram page, a post was published on Sunday (April 16) showing the possibilities to vote for one of the five candidates. (see photo below)
Also, for these candidates, there is no opportunity to vote "who do you want to remove", as falsely claimed by the dubious portal. This time, the production has decided to vote "who do you want to save".
This article was also shared on Facebook by the page "Luiz Ejlli", which has managed to collect a large number of comments and reactions in this post. (see here)
