Big Brother 5 was the fifth series of Big Brother UK. It aired from 28th May, 2004 until 6th August, 2004. The series was notable for its fluctuating prize fund, the final value of which depended on the housemates' performance during tasks. The series was won by Nadia Almada; she received £63,500.

[edit] Housemates
[edit] Ahmed
Ahmed Aghil (born March 1960) is now a successful property developer and has graduated with a degree in law. Ahmed along with Michelle, Stuart, Dan and Shell were the only housemates not involved with Fight Night. Ahmed was evicted from the Big Brother house in Week 7, whilst up for the public vote against Dan, Nadia, Shell, Stuart and Victor. He spent 51 days in the house.
[edit] Becki
Becki Seddiki (born 24 July 1970) is a singer-songwriter from London, with Italian and Moroccan blood. Since Big Brother, Becki has landed a twice weekly radio DJing slot on a radio station in London (from 2006 onwards) and is still recording her music and performing at several gigs all over the UK. Becki was not involved in Fight Night as she was not in the house at that time. She arrived on Day 31, as a replacement for Emma who was ejected from the house due to her disputes with Victor. Becki's time in the house is probably best remembered for the 'Judas kiss' task, in which she was told she had to kiss one housemate on both cheeks, who would then automatically be up for eviction that week. Becki was very upset by this task and unhappily deliberated before eventually choosing Michelle, as she felt she'd be the most likely to survive the eviction. Moreover, Michelle was probably the easiest target to go up to and kiss. However, this was not considered a wise decision, due to her popularity at the time. Becki was evicted from the Big Brother house in Week 6, whilst up for the public vote against Ahmed, less than 2 weeks after she entered the house.
[edit] Daniel
Daniel Charles Bryan (born 3 January 1974) is a hairdresser and DJ from Hull. Daniel announced on the show that he was gay. Dan along with Ahmed, Michelle, Stuart and Shell was the only housemate not involved (majorly) in Fight Night; he tried to calm Emma and Nadia down, a role which he regularly took when disputes broke out in the house. He was once hairdresser to pop group Steps. Dan was generally a popular housemate throughout the shows run and was evicted on the final night, finishing third to Jason and Nadia.
[edit] Emma
Emma Louise Greenwood (born 12 October 1983) was formerly an administrative assistant from Oldham, Greater Manchester and had a minor singing career before and after her time in the house. Emma has also been a member of the British Army.
Since leaving the Big Brother house Emma has made various public appearances, as well as appearing alongside former Housemate Michelle Bass on the softcore porn channel Television X, performing links between clips during the Freeview.
Emma moved into a flat in London with fellow housemate Marco for several months before returning to the army.
In 2005 Emma was voted the fifth most popular housemate of all time losing to BB2 winner Brian Dowling who finished 4th and Fellow Housemates Michelle Bass and Stuart Wilson and Nadia who won. Emma was central to Fight Night and her antics are considered to be the start of it. She was ejected from the house on Day 22 following her antics that night.
[edit] Jason
Jason Cowan (born 1 November 1973) is from Hamilton, South Lanarkshire. Along with Victor Ebuwa he was credited by television critic Ally Ross as the saviour of the Big Brother franchise for his creation of the 'Jungle cats'. He was the runner-up of the series.
He was obsessed with fitness and trained everyday in the gym lifting weights and running. Jason was given a formal warning after Fight Night.
[edit] Kitten
Kathryn "Kitten" Pinder (born 13 October 1979) is a self-proclaimed anarchist, human and animal rights activist. She entered the house on 28 May 2004 and was ejected one week later on 4 June.
After Pinder's ejection, she appeared in court regarding her non-payment of parking fines amounting to £225. She blamed it on debts accumulated whilst being a student due to Tony Blair's education policy. Pinder occasionally appeared on the parallel show Big Brother's Little Brother, also on Channel 4. Pinder moved to Australia with her lesbian lover in 2005.
[edit] Marco
Marco Jaye Sabba (born 20 April 1983) was a law student from Kingston University. Marco has appeared in a West End stage show and, along with fellow housemate Emma, provided a commentary of Celebrity Big Brother UK on Richard and Judy. Marco was involved in Fight Night and was highly provocative to Jason, inciting a menacing stand-off in return. He was issued with a formal warning for his conduct.
[edit] Michelle
Michelle Bass (born 2 February 1981 in Newcastle) was formerly a mortgage advisor. Michelle and housemate Stuart remained a couple for some time following Big Brother, but eventually split up. She has since featured on Television X, performing links between clips during the Freeview and has participated in phootshoot with the British men's magazine; Nuts.
On the recent Charlotte Church Show Michelle appeared with 12 other former housemates in the guess the housemate game where she finally answered Davina's question about her and Stu having sex under the table. Michelle had been favourite to win until her extremely possessive streak towards boyfriend Stuart became apparent. As this bordered on the obsessive, viewers labelled her a bunny boiler and turned against her, although the quiet Stuart seemed to accept that side of her. Michelle along with Ahmed, Dan, Shell and Stuart were the only housemates not to be involved in Fight Night. She and Dan stopped Nadia, Emma and Marco from returning to fight Victor and Jason.
[edit] Nadia
Nadia Almada (born 28 January 1977) was born as a male on the Portuguese Island of Madeira, under the name of Jorge, but was known as Carlos. Nadia moved to England in 1996 and worked in a department store in Woking, where she lives. She has also managed a children's book store. Before entering the Big Brother house, Nadia worked as a bank cashier. Nadia was given a formal warning after Fight Night.
Nadia's main weakness was for cigarettes, more so than the average smoker. If deprived of them for a day or so, she would frequently collapse into shrieking tempers and wailing irritation, to the chagrine of the other housemates.
The Sun dubbed Nadia the Portugeezer, the "Portuguese Man O' War" and NADS, NADS being a slang term for gonads (testicles).
After 71 days in the house she emerged as the winner, securing 74% of the overall vote and winning £63,500.
[edit] Shell
Michelle Jubin, (born 8 March 1982) works in the arts in New York but an arts student at Glasgow University at the time. She was told of her graduation in the house during a spelling task which she jumped into the jaczzi. Shell seemed to be the most vulnerable housemate; during Fight Night she cried (and fainted) in the bathroom. She finished in fourth place on the final night.
[edit] Stuart
Stuart Wilson (born 28 April 1984) is a student from Macclesfield.
Michelle and Stuart enjoyed a year long relationship after the show, and they attended showbiz parties and covered many articles in glossy magazines. Soon after the sixth series of Big Brother started, it was revealed these two had split up. Stuart was the first housemate in UK Big Brother never to be nominated on any occasion. Stuart along with Ahmed, Dan, Michelle and Shell were the only housemates not to get involved in fight night; he restrained Victor from confronting Emma and was pushed out of the bathroom by Jason.
[edit] Vanessa
Vanessa Nimmo (born 12 August 1977) is a former double South African archery champion. She was born in Cape Town but moved to Leeds in 1994. After being on Big Brother, she dated Ben Fogle for a few months. For a while Vanessa did not seem to be involved in Fight Night until she and Nadia had a row leading to her being given a formal warning.
After Big Brother, Vanessa became a glamour model.
[edit] Victor
Victor Afanefuma Ebuwa (born 17 January 1981), from London.
On Day 57 he was evicted following an argument with fellow housemate Shell Jubin, after which a fan of Victor's sent death threats to Shell's parents' house. Victor was involved in fight night and was given a formal warning.
TV critics, notably Ally Ross (The Sun TV Critic), have credited Victor for saving the Big Brother UK franchise, by stirring controversy and his 'straight talking' attitude towards housemates. The previous year's show had been criticised for being dull, leading to record low viewing figures and a subsequent drop in eviction votes. Viewing figures increased this year to an average of 7 million every night.
Since leaving the house, Victor has appeared on Celebrity Poker Club as well as various other Channel 4 shows.
[edit] Fight Night
Main Article: Fight Night
Fight Night is the name given to the most well known argument in Big Brother UK history. It escalated into physical violence and threatening behaviour. For the first time up until that series, and the only time since, Big Brother called in security to break up the fight. The house was left in a mess and most of the housemates were given warnings by Big Brother.

[edit] Notes
Note 1: In week 1, housemates had to nominate who they didn't want to receive their suitcase, not who they wanted to evict. Kitten refused to nominate. Kitten was evicted by Big Brother after constant rule breaking.
Note 2: This week, housemates were told there was a double eviction, and the two housemates to be evicted were Emma and Michelle. In reality, the public had been voting which two housemates enter a secret Big Brother Bedsit, in which the two evictees would live for five days, and be able to watch their fellow housemates on a television screen, and then return to the house, still able to win the prize money.
Note 3: Emma and Michelle made their nominations from the Bedsit. The other housemates could not nominate them, assuming them to be evicted.
Note 4: Due to Emma’s ejection from the house, Week Three’s eviction was postponed until Week Four.
Note 5: In Week Five, new housemate Becki arrived. She could not be nominated, and believed she could not nominate. However, Big Brother told her that she must nominate one housemate who will automatically face eviction by kissing them. If she didn’t do this, she would be up for eviction. Becki kissed Michelle, meaning she was up against the two housemates with the most nominations, Marco and Nadia.
Note 6: Jason and Victor were banned from nominating due to constant discussion of nominations
Note 7: In the housemates army task, sergeants Jason and Michelle were told of the twist in nominations. If the privates passed the task, all six privates would face eviction. If the privates failed, sergeants would face eviction. Privates passed, meaning the six of them faced eviction.
Note 8: All housemates faced eviction automatically.
Note 9: Nominations do not take place in the final week, instead the public votes for which of the remaining housemates they want to win. As Stuart has the least votes to win he was given a surprise eviction during a party. The public then voted for the final four.
