VIP Brother 6, also known as VIP Brother: Образцов дом (lit. Model House) was the sixth season of the reality show VIP Brother in Bulgaria and the thirteenth season of the Big Brother format overall. The promo for the new season began airing on Nova Television on July 25, 2014. The show commenced on September 15, 2014. Niki Kanchev and Aleksandra Sarchadjieva returned as main presenters. During the live shows in Monday and Wednesday there were permanent commentators - TV producer Magarditch Halvadjian, TV host and VIP Brother 2 contestant Veneta Raykova, TV host and VIP Brother 4 contestant Nikol Stankulova, Miss Bulgaria 2006 Slavena Vatova (from week 2, replacing buissenesman Aleksandar Naydenov) and PR expert and housemate in the season Evgeni Minchev (from week 6, after his eviction).
This season was reminiscent to the 1944–1989 communist rule in Bulgaria. It marked 70 years since 9 September 1944, 25 years since the fall of communism in Bulgaria on 10 November 1989, 30 years from George Orwell's 1984, on which the Big Brother format was based on, as well as 10 years since the premiere of the Big Brother format in Bulgaria in 2004. Vladi Vargala won with Yordanka Hristova as the runner-up.
15 Housemates entered the House on Day 1. They were joined by 3 other Housemates on Day 3.
