Big Brother 3 was the third season of the reality show Big Brother in Bulgaria.[1] It was aired on Nova Television and Nova+. The show launched on 18 September 2006 and ended on 11 December 2006. Originally, the season was planned to air for 11 weeks (78 days), 2 weeks shorter than the previous two seasons. However, the season was extended by 7 days and aired for 85 days in total. For the first time, the show was only hosted by Niki Kanchev.

This season, the prize was 500 000 leva. However, the Housemates were being punished with 5,000 leva for each break of the rules (not wearing microphones, discussing the nominations, etc.), the prize dropped to 200,000 leva, the same as in Big Brother 1 and Big Brother 2.
