The latest episode of Grande Fratello, aired on February 3, 2025, brought significant twists and turns as the reality show approaches its finale. Host Alfonso Signorini kicked off the 28th episode by announcing the closing of the public vote, where Emanuele Fiori, Giglio, Iago García, Ilaria Galassi, Jessica Morlacchi, and Zeudi Di Palma were nominated for elimination.
The evening took off with drama as Iago García leveled accusations at fellow contestant Jessica Morlacchi, asserting, "She has never read a book." To this Jessica confidently retorted, "I may have read two books, so he wasn’t far off." This lively exchange set the tone for the night filled with confrontations and emotional moments.
Another poignant moment arose early on when Helena Prestes and Javier Martinez showcased their rekindled connection. Viewers were moved as Helena watched clips of their time together, evidently touched and moved to tears.
The episode also deepened the narrative around Lorenzo Spolverato and Shaila Gatta, as their relationship appeared to grow colder. An emotional letter from Lorenzo's sister, Giorgia, was read on air, prompting tears and heartfelt sentiments.
But the night’s major shock came shortly after the elimination announcement. Emanuele Fiori was voted out, unable to secure enough support from the audience, receiving just 7.29% of the votes cast. Fans witnessed the emotional impact this had on his fellow housemates.
Following Emanuele’s exit, Ilaria Galassi took to the stage to announce her decision to leave the house voluntarily. She expressed her longing to return to her family, particularly her son and partner Daniele, who surprised her with his presence during her farewell speech. Their exchange led to the unexpected reveal of her past flirtation with actor Raoul Bova, dropping jaws among her fellow contestants.
Meanwhile, Chiara Cainelli received the happy news of reuniting with her mother, Rossy, after sharing her bittersweet story of Bolivian heritage. The emotional reunion tugged at viewers' hearts as Chiara openly expressed her love after having kept it at bay for far too long.
Significantly, the episode culminated with the nominations for the next elimination. The public is once again called to vote, and nine contestants are now at risk. Those facing possible eviction due to nominations include Iago García, Amanda Lecciso, Javier Martinez, Maxime Mbanda, Eva Grimaldi, Giglio, Jessica Morlacchi, Pamela Petrarolo, and Shaila Gatta.
The nomination proceedings were intense, employing the pyramid-style voting system which allows for strategic gameplay. The dynamics among the contestants intensified with this round of nominations, as many harbored uncertainties about who to trust or nominate.
With so much at stake, the upcoming installment on February 6 promises to be filled with even more revelations, confrontations, and suspense as contestants await their fates. The drama of Grande Fratello is set to escalate, captivating fans week by week.
