Before entering Big Brother, the housemates agree to some rules written in a contract. The rules are not very different from one country to another, so below we bring you 25 rules that Big Brother US has and that 90% of them are also applied in Big Brother Albania.

1.Residents must undergo a psychological evaluation and an IQ test.

2. They have to pass a personal interview.

3. Before entering the celebrity house, they must be tested for sexually transmitted diseases. There have been cases when residents had intercourse inside the house. To protect contestants from spreading sexually transmitted diseases in the Big Brother house, everyone is tested beforehand.

4. Being friendly and adaptable is an advantage to become part of the game. While searching for cast members, the producers look for individuals who are "willing, resourceful, adventurous, physically and mentally fit, adaptable to new environments, and have interesting lifestyles, backgrounds and personalities.

5. Characters must be ready to start filming at short notice. They are contacted a week before the camera crews go home. According to the contract, they could be notified only 24 hours in advance.

6. They must have seen at least one season of the show. Big Brother is not your typical reality show it is a competition and the producers want to know that the future houseguests are well versed in the rules of the show and have developed their strategy to win.

7. They must sign a contract. Each contestant on the show signs a contract that gives the producers the right to portray them, their story and their image in any way they see fit. Essentially, guests lose any control they have over their portrayal on TV before they even set foot in the house.

9. They must remain isolated before entering the house.

10. Residents are given the rules of the show to read before entering the house.

12. Residents cannot bring their own phones. This ensures that they are as isolated from the outside world as possible.

13. Residents cannot whisper at home. Although it seems like a difficult thing to implement, residents are forbidden to whisper because it is difficult to capture this audio on microphones.

14. They cannot discuss nominations with other housemates. Each week, housemates are chosen to nominate their contestants. The contestant must do this privately and cannot discuss their selections with anyone in advance.

15. They must give an interview after leaving. Although it may be uncomfortable, this interview is included in the contract of the show.

17. This includes filming in the toilet. Big Brother has over 100 cameras rolling all the time, including the toilets. But in Albania this has not been implemented!

18. Residents must wear a microphone at all times. They are around each other 24/7, so in order to catch everything that is being said, they are required to carry a microphone at all times.

19. They are paid every week of stay. It has not yet been confirmed whether this rule is also applied in Albania.

20. They may not threaten or physically harm another contestant. When the competition heats up, things can get ugly. However, the show has a strict no-violence policy and any action or threat of action is punishable by expulsion.

21. Offensive words are also prohibited. While the mental and physical safety of the housemates is important, the producers must also look after the emotional well-being of the viewers. This is why, according to their contract, contestants cannot spread hateful or offensive language.
