[edit] Casting and choice of the viewing public
After the casting the judges takes people into the running to become a housemate. There are "voting into" shows, in which one of the three possible housemates enter the Villa by decision of the audience who call and send text messages for the actual contestant. In this way there will be more and more housemates inside the Villa. If complement evolves, the elimination process gets started.
[edit] Elimination process
There are three steps: The first step is the Kiválasztás (Selection) in which housemates must nominate one participant in public unlike in Big Brother. Who gathers the most nomination will be kiválasztott (selected).
The second step is the Kihívás (Challenge). In Season 1, kiválasztott had to defy one housemate to join the Duel. In Season 2 and 3, kiválasztott had to choose two housemate. The viewing public had to decide, who would take a part in the Duel with the kiválasztott.
The third step is the Párbaj (Duel). The kiválasztott and the kihívott (who either of the contestants who were challenged by the kiválasztott) get outside from the Villa and go to the studio where the audience composed by their members of the family, friends and fans. Who receive the most votes will enter the "Villa" door and the other one with the least symphaty will be evicted from the Villa and leave by way of the "Utca" (Street) door. The hero of the Duel will be immune from the next elimination. In Season 3 on New Years' Eve, three couples were competing with each other on the "voting into" show. In the same season, who didn't get into the show that could bids for the entrance and one of them got into the Villa.
