Main and Glass House
On this season a new section of the House was created, the Glass House. Located on the backyard, it's a small place where a few housemates (normally 3) will have to live on it and can't leave it exempt on special occasions like eviction shows or nominations. For the first 3 weeks, this section of the House saw its housemates lose their full housemate status, having to perform with success several tasks in order to take it back. Because of this, those housemates are immune and exempt from nominating. However starting from week 4, housemates on the Glass House have a full status like the ones in the Main House and can nominate, they will only have to live there. The Glass House wasn't used anymore since week 14.


 * On Day 1, Ana, André, Bruno, Carla, Catarina, Cláudio, Cláudio A., Christina, Cristiana, Diogo, Diogo S., Fábio, Kika, Luís, Mariana, Nuno, Rita and Tucha moved into the Main House, whilst Helena, Paulo and Vanessa moved into the Glass House.
 * On Day 8, Helena chose Rita, Paulo chose Diogo S. and Vanessa chose Cristiana to take their places in the Glass House.
 * On Day 15, Cláudio, Helena and Rita had a dilemma; choosing receive immunity by going to the Glass House or be automatically nominated. They chose to go to the Glass House.
 * On Day 18, "A Voz" decided to make some changes in the Glass House. As Housemate of the Week, Cláudio A. decided to exchange Helena and Rita with Kika. However, due to his bad behaviour Cláudio A. was also exchanged.
 * On Day 22, "A Voz" asked who wanted to go to Glass House, and the ones that wanted had to find three objects saying "Glass House"; Ana, Bruno and Diogo, found that objects and they went to the Glass House. However, unlike in previous weeks, they did not receive immunity.
 * On Day 25, "A Voz" did some questions about October 5, 1910. Tucha's team missed more questions and she went to the Glass House. Later, she had to choose two teammates to go with her; she chose Christina and Mariana.
 * On Day 27, Ana and Cristiana went to the Glass House because of their bad behavior.
 * On Day 29, the housemates were divided in two teams: Cláudio's team (Cláudio, Bruno, Christina, Helena, Kika, Mariana, Nuno and Rita) and Cláudio A.'s team (Cláudio A., Ana, Carla, Cristiana, Diogo, Diogo S., Luís and Tucha). They did two games, won both by Cláudio's team. Cláudio chose Carla, Cristiana and Diogo S. to go to the Glass House.
 * On Day 36, "A Voz" asked who wanted to go to the Glass House. Cláudio, Mariana and Nuno decided to go to the Glass House. On Day 37, Mariana was elected the Housemate of the Week, and she exchanged her place with Cláudio A. in the Glass House.
 * Since Day 41 to 44, the housemates could be in any house.
 * On Day 44, the housemates were divided into two teams for a run task, Tucha's and Ana's teams. Tucha's team won and they decided to send Carla, Diogo and Helena to the Glass House.
 * On Day 50, two new housemates, Amor and Joel, entered the Glass House.
 * From Day 55 to 57, the housemates could be in any house.
 * On Day 57, two new housemates, Daniela and Márcio, entered the Glass House.
 * On Day 65, the three laziest housemates of the House (the ones who got out of bed last) were sent to the Glass House as a punishment (Amor, Diogo S. and Joel).
 * On Day 69, "A Voz" decided to separate the couples, Cláudio A. & Cristiana and Daniela & Márcio; Daniela and Cláudio A. went to the Glass House.
 * On Day 72, Diogo was elected Housemate of the Week and he chose Ana and Tucha to go to the Glass House.
 * On Day 79, Helena was elected Housemate of the Week and she chose Carla, Diogo and Márcio to go to the Glass House.
 * On Day 86, Cláudio A. was elected Housemate of the Week and he chose Tucha and Joel to go to the Glass House.

Housemate of the Week
Starting on Week 2, a new election normally done on Mondays was implemented in which the housemate elected wins a prominent position in the game that week: the housemate gets to wear a special golden microphone, has several rewards in the House, usually serves as the leader of house work and others related and gets to break the ties at the nominations if they appear, although only if the Housemate of the Week is not involved in that tie. Throughout the weeks the method of election changes, but the most common ones are a vote between the housemates and elections through tasks done by "A Voz". The most times a housemate was elected with this title was 2, being several housemates able to do that (Mariana, Cláudio A., Tucha, Carla and Helena).

Passports to the final
Like on season 4, two passports to the finals were given (the first on Day 92 and the second on Day 99). The winners of the passports become immune from all evictions and nominations until the finale night, meaning they automatically become finalists.

The first passport was given on the eviction show of December 11 (Day 92). In this case, everyone was eligible to win it exempt the current nominees of Week 13 (Amor, Diogo and Joel) since the weekly eviction hadn't happened yet. For the twist ex-housemates of previous season of the show entered the House to support their favorite housemate and would fight to give the housemate they were representing a passport to the finals. The ex-housemates were: Sofia (SS4) representing Helena, Agnes (SS5) representing Tucha, Cristiana (SS5) representing Cláudio A., Daniel (SS5) representing Carla, Liliana (SS5) representing Cristiana and Pedro (SS5) representing Diogo S. After revealing the reasons they supported that housemate, they went to the backyard to participate in a competition to determine who would win the passport. Several eyes were hidden throughout the House, however only one of them was a red eye. The first ex-housemate to find this red eye would win a passport to his/her representative. Eventually Cristiana (SS5) found the red eye, meaning Cláudio A. won therefore the first passport to the finals.

The second passport was given on the eviction show of December 18 (Day 99). It was revealed that in this case, the current housemates would give this passport by a vote, therefore the housemate with the most votes would win the passport. Once again, everyone was eligible to win the passport except Cláudio A. (who already had his own passport) and Helena (since she was at the time in a separate vote to decide her faite in the game, which means she wasn't technically inside the game at that moment and therefore couldn't also vote). Since the election happened before the eviction, if the housemate that wins the passport is evicted the title goes to the housemate that got the second highest votes. Carla received the most votes and therefore won the second passport to the finals. As she was one of the nominees, Diogo S. had the second highest votes and was still eligible to win it. However, Carla wasn't evicted that night and got to remain with her passport.
