Ferma VIP Albania Season 3 is well into its run, and it’s already delivered more drama per week than most shows manage in a full season. Since its March 27 premiere, the farm has seen rule-breaking, unexpected walkouts, a poet in her sixties outlasting people half her age, and public votes that keep shifting the power. If you’ve been watching from the US and Canada and want the full picture, or just catching up, here’s everything that’s happened so far.
What is Ferma VIP Albania, and why do People watch it
Ferma VIP is Albania’s adaptation of the Swedish reality format The Farm. Celebrities from entertainment, sports, and media are locked into a working farm for up to 90 days, doing actual farm labor, navigating alliances, and getting voted out one by one. The last person standing takes home €200,000, which is the biggest prize on the show so far. It airs on Vizion Plus, with 24/7 live access through Tring for viewers who want to watch the farm around the clock, not just on eviction nights.
Season 3 launched on March 27, 2026, with 19 celebrities entering on night one and four more joining in staggered waves, 23 total. Arbana Osmani is the new host, taking over from Luana Vjollca, which was itself a talking point before a single episode aired. Armina Mevlani is back as studio opinionist after skipping Season 2, joined by Einxhel Shkira and comedian Ermal Mamaqi, both new to the role. The spin-off show Ferma Club started on April 11, airing Saturdays — useful if you want post-eviction takes and eliminated contestants spilling what actually happened.
For the Albanian diaspora in the US and Canada, Ferma VIP is one of those shows you follow because everyone back home is watching it too. Group chats go off after every elimination night.
Biggest Moments of Ferma VIP Season 3 So Far
Spoilers ahead! You’ve been warned.
1. Jonida Maliqi and Khuba Walk on the Same Night (Day 18)
The biggest shock of the season came on Day 18, when two contestants left on the same night — and neither of them was voted out. Khuba had been considering his exit for days and made the request to the Agai directly. Then, right after the prime ended, singer Jonida Maliqi gathered her belongings and walked too, in the middle of the night, without a public announcement. Two walkouts in one eviction episode, both voluntary.
Jonida Maliqi was one of the most recognizable names in the cast and was considered one of the strongest players going in. Her exit drew a strong reaction from viewers, especially given how early and how quietly it happened.
2. Xhesi Loci Goes First
The season’s first elimination landed on Xhesi Loci, a bodybuilder who entered on Day 1 and became the first person sent home by the public vote on April 3. Week 1 set the tone: the initial public vote pitted four contestants against each other after Mimoza Ahmeti was named Farmer of the Week and selected who would compete in the challenge. Fairfax and Xhesi lost the challenge and faced the vote. Xhesi got the most votes to evict.
3. Fabjola Breaks the Rules
One of the more unusual moments of the season happened on Day 40. Fabjola Elezaj was found to have broken the farm rules. The “Agai” (the farm overseer) stepped in and cancelled the ongoing televote entirely. A new vote was opened, this time specifically on whether Fabjola would remain or be sent home. It’s rare for the format to intervene like this, and it created a tense few days for viewers who were following the results in real time.
4. Henri’s Permanent Nomination
Three days after the Fabjola situation, Henri broke the rules too, and the consequence was harsher. The Agai announced that Henri would automatically face every single eviction for the rest of the season, regardless of the weekly nomination process. He could not be nominated by his fellow farmers, but he would always be up for the public vote. That kind of ruling is essentially a slow-motion pressure campaign, and it changed the strategy of everyone still on the farm.
5. Mimoza Ahmeti’s Run as Fan Favorite
The most unexpected storyline of Season 3 belongs to Mimoza Ahmeti, a 62-year-old poet and writer who has consistently landed in the safe zone through public votes. She was named Farmer of the Week in Week 1, has been saved by the public multiple times, and is still in the competition well past the point when most viewers would have predicted her exit. She’s become the quiet anchor of the season.
6. The Double Elimination
Week 2 ended with two evictions on the same night. Fairfax (DJ) and Teni Vllacaj (TV presenter) both left on April 10. The week’s challenge divided contestants into groups, with a saving chain determining who ended up on the block. Fairfax had already been nominated in Week 1, so his exit felt inevitable. Teni’s was more contested.
7. Ermiona Lekbello Walks
Singer Ermiona Lekbello, who entered the farm on Day 15 as part of the second wave of contestants, walked on Day 29. She had been saved by the public the week before her exit, which made the timing harder to read. Voluntary walkouts tend to generate more debate than eliminations — the fans following on social media had strong opinions.
8. Gresa Sekiraqa Walks
Singer and rapper Gresa Sekiraqa, who entered on Day 1 and performed well in challenges throughout the season, withdrew from the competition, citing emotional and psychological strain. She told host Arbana Osmani she had been struggling since her time at the Fakiri location, with the exits of fellow contestants Adi and Ola pushing her to her limit. Her manager later confirmed, through the Ferma Club spin-off, that the departure was final. Osmani didn’t try to convince her to stay — a notable departure from how she’d handled previous walkout requests that season.
9. Vanesa Sono Eliminated
Vanesa Sono had been one of the quieter presences in the competition. Saved by the public earlier in the season, never a central figure in the bigger confrontations. Her elimination on May 15 came after a nominations round where the farmers themselves voted on who to send to the challenge. She finished 15th.
10. Henri Rrufa’s Run Finally Ends
Henri had faced the public vote every single week since Day 43, with six consecutive appearances on the block. On May 22, it ended. His elimination on Day 57 was less a shock than an inevitability that had been building for weeks. Whatever strategic options he might have had earlier in the game were gone the moment the Agai announced the permanent nomination. He finished 14th.
11. Blerina Bajko Out
Blerina Bajko, a journalist who entered on Day 1, had been nominated multiple times across the season and survived each time. On May 25, the public vote finally went against her. She finished 13th, one of the longest-running contestants to exit without ever being a dominant storyline.
12. Indri Shiroka Eliminated
Actor Indri Shiroka had been saved by the public on multiple occasions throughout the season. His exit on May 29 came in a week when the nomination system flipped. The farmers with the most votes received immunity rather than facing the block, leaving a large group exposed to the public vote. Indri and Klevisa were the two with the fewest votes to save. He finished 12th.
13. Sorgin Osmanaj Ejected
Sorgin Osmanaj entered the farm on Day 50 and lasted 17 days before being removed. During a challenge on Day 64, Sorgin was caught cheating — the Agai stopped the challenge and announced that both groups would face the televote instead. The vote was extended, and when it concluded, Sorgin was ejected. He finished 11th.
Who Are the Fan Favorites This Season?
Mimoza Ahmeti. The poet turned reality contestant has become the most talked-about figure of the season. Public vote numbers consistently favor her, and she’s been Farmer of the Week. At 62, she’s the oldest contestant in the cast.
Elvis Pupa. Actor and comedian, 49, who entered on Day 1 and has avoided nomination through most of the season. His experience in front of cameras shows — he has managed to stay calm while others have gotten drawn into confrontations.
Dona Sina. The model that entered on Day 1 has been a challenge winner multiple times. She’s appeared in the nomination pool but has kept surviving through strong challenge performances. But it didn’t last forever—she finished in 19th place on May 4th.
Gresa Sekiraqa. The rapper, who also entered on Day 1, who entered on Day 1 and survived multiple nomination rounds through challenge performances and public votes, withdrew from the competition citing emotional and psychological strain. She told host Arbana Osmani she had been struggling since her time at the Fakiri location, with the exits of fellow contestants Adi and Ola pushing her to her limit. Osmani, unusually, didn’t try to convince her to stay.
Most Talked-About Moments Among Albanian Diaspora in the US
The rule-breaking episodes like Fabjola on Day 40 or Henri on Day 43 generated the most conversation in Albanian-American communities online. When a format steps in and overrides the normal vote, it tends to split viewers: some think it’s fair enforcement of the rules, others feel it takes control away from the public.
Jonida Maliqi’s walkout also landed hard for diaspora fans. She’s a well-known singer with an audience that extends well beyond Albania, and her exit felt abrupt given the expectations around her.
On social media, season 3 of Ferma VIP is running with high engagement. The hashtag trails closely behind Big Brother VIP in Albanian-language posts, with Mimoza Ahmeti getting a particularly strong amount of support from viewers outside Albania.
What to Expect Next: Ferma VIP Season Finale on June 15
After nearly 80 days on the farm, Season 3 ends this Sunday. The €200,000 prize — the biggest in the show’s history — goes to whoever is still standing when Arbana Osmani calls it. The field has been shaped less by strategy than by attrition: four contestants walked out voluntarily, Henri has faced every public vote since Day 43, and the people who’ve survived this long have mostly done it by staying out of the way of the drama rather than driving it.

The Season 3 finale airs Sunday, June 15 at 21:00 on Vizion Plus. You can watch it live in the US and Canada through TVALB, which carries Vizion Plus and the full Albanian channel lineup.
