Gran Hermano 10 launched on September 21, 2008, and ended January 22, 2009. It was the tenth Spanish edition of the reality television show Big Brother, which lasted a total of 124 days. The show ended with Ivan as the winner and Orlando as runner-up.
When Gran Hermano 10 started, fourteen housemates entered a replica of the old Gran Hermano 1 house. A married couple, Gema and Carlos F. entered the real GH10 house. Their objective was not to be discovered as a married couple. If they were discovered, one of them would be evicted.
Each week, the GH1 housemates had to nominate two contestants with one point each to evict. The two with the most votes would face the public vote. The audience had to decide who would enter the GH10 house and who would be evicted. In Week 6, Javier and Estefanía randomly entered the GH10 house, while Liz entered the GH1 house with Julio and Mirentxu. In Week 7, after a mistake by Gran Hermano, GH10 housemates accidentally discovered that Julio, Liz and Mirentxu weren't evicted; the producers decided to let them enter the GH10 house. On Day 87, Ana, Eva, and Gema earned the opportunity to return to the GH10 and legibility to win the grand prize; housemates in the GH10 house voted for Ana to return and Eva and Gema were re-evicted.

^Note 1 : All Housemates in the GH 1 House automatically faced the public vote. Because Orlando received the fewest votes to evict, he moved into the Gran Hermano 10 House with Carlos F and Gema.
^Note 2 : All members of the Gran Hermano 10 House were exempt from the nominations process. Until further notice, Housemates will nominate two fellow Housemates with each nomination having the same value. Each of these nominations will count as 1 point in the nomination points received column. As Carlos H received the fewest votes to evict, he moved into the Gran Hermano 10 House.

^Note 5 : All members of the Gran Hermano 10 House were exempt from the nominations process. Prior to nominations, the members of the GH 1 House conspired together that they would nominate in a way that would make all of them face the public vote. Big Brother decided this was against the rules and voided all nominations. The decision of who faced the public vote was then handed over to the Gran Hermano 10 Housemates. They collectively decided that Gisela and Jie Li would face the public vote. As Gisela received the fewest votes to evict, she moved into the Gran Hermano 10 House. A vote was held to see which of the 3 Housemates left in the GH 1 House should move into the GH 10 House. Javier received the most votes. The Housemates in the GH 10 House then had to choose to let 2 of Javier, Nani and Liz into the GH 10 House, which each of them hidden behind their own door. Dolores opened Javier's door, and Carlos H chose Estefanía's door, meaning they would both be let into the GH 10 House. This left Julio, Liz and Mirentxu in the GH 1 House.
^Note 6 : Starting with the fifth set of nominations, the rules of the game changed. From now on, Housemates living in the GH 1 House were immune from eviction and Housemates living in the GH 10 House were to nominate each other in the typical 3-2-1 format. However, those who survived a public vote did not move into the GH 1 House. It was originally planned that the Housemates in the GH 1 House would live there alone for the rest of the series, eligible to win.
^Note 7 : This week, Housemates nominated in one of three different rooms: Green, Blue, and Purple. If Housemates nominated in the Green Room, they nominate in the normal 3-2-1 fashion but then can watch the rest of the Housemates nominate. If Housemates nominated in the Blue Room, they nominated to save. If Housemates nominated in the Purple room, they nominate to evict and can distribute their 6 points over as many Housemates as they like. Almudena, Carlos F, Carlos H, Loli, Nani and Mirentxu nominated in the Green Room. Iván, Lizfanny, and Orlando nominated in the Blue Room. Gisela, Javier, and Julio nominated in the Purple Room. Gisela gave 4 points to Lizfanny and 2 points to Iván. Javier gave 2 points each to Lizfanny, Carlos H, and Orlando. Julio gave 3 points each to Carlos H and Orlando. Orlando was also originally faced the public vote, but Almudena saved him after answering the Hot Phone. Nominations to save are not added or subtracted to the nomination points received column.
^Note 8 : This week, Housemates were allowed to anonymously cancel each other's nominations. By the end of this process, only the nominations made by Gisela, Liz and Mirentxu stood.
^Note 9 : This week, Housemates nominated to save. However, they were only allowed to nominate one other Housemate and the value of the save was determined randomly. Almudena and Mirentxu saved for 3 points; Iván, Julio, Liz and Orlando saved for 2 points; and Carlos F and Javier nominated for 1 point.
^Note 10 : The public were given the option to allow three former Housemates re-enter the House. They could choose between Ana, Loli, Nani, Eva, Gema, Gisela, Jie Li and Raquel.

^Note 11 : As Ana had only recently re-entered the House, she was exempt from the nominations process this week.
^Note 12 : Almudena lost her right to nominate and had to choose an ex-Housemate to nominate for her. She chose Gisela. Julio won the right to save a nominated Housemate. He chose to save Liz.
^Note 13 : As only 4 Housemates remained, they were each only required to nominate two others. These nominations were worth 2 and 1 points. In addition, only the 2 Housemates with the most points would face the public vote.
