[edit] Controversy

In the first week of the series, over 400 complaints were made about bullying by Alexandra, following an argument about cooking in the House. Alexandra was warned that some of her comments were threatening in nature, and on Day 14 she was ejected after apparently implying her intentions upon leaving the House. On Day 23, during an argument between most of the housemates (dubbed by fans as Spitgate and Fight Night Two), Dennis appeared to spit on Mohamed's face, though he later claimed that "nothing came out". Big Brother deemed his actions to be unacceptable, and he was then ejected from the House. During the argument, other housemates also conducted themselves in a way Big Brother deemed unnaceptable : Darnell lost his temper after Dennis spat at Mohamed and started shouting at housemates in the Luxury Bedroom, and then being restrained by Stuart, Dale, Lisa and Sylvia. Stuart and Dale were accused of being intimidating towards Rex and Mohamed. These, along with various other housemates, received formal warnings. During the argument, the live streaming was cut (similar to Fight Night from the 2004 series).

[edit] Notes

Note 1: There were no nominations in the first week. Instead, the result of the secret mission given to Mario, Lisa, Stephanie and Luke determined whether they or the remaining 12 housemates would face the public vote. As they failed the task, they all faced eviction.

Note 2: Because of the ejection of Alexandra, the second eviction was cancelled, and instead new housemate, Stuart, entered. During the time the lines were available to vote, Alexandra had received 87% of the public vote.

Note 3: Stuart was exempt from the nomination process in Week 3 as he was a new housemate meaning he couldn't nominate or be nominated by fellow housemates.

Note 4: On Day 25, Luke discussed nominations. Therefore, the next day, Big Brother punished him by sending him to jail, meaning he could not nominate. However, Rebecca used a "Get Out of Jail Free" card - one of Big Brother's Ever Changing Special Prizes bought in the weekly shopping Budget, to get out of jail. He was then allowed to nominate.

Note 5: Belinda, Maysoon and Sara were exempt from the nomination process in Week 5. As new housemates they could not nominate or be nominated.

Note 6: As Darnell was Head of House he was immune from nomination/eviction for Week 6. Hell Housemates had to peel potatoes in order to nominate.

Note 7: As Dale was Head of House he could nominate but could not be nominated. Hell Housemates had to chop onions in order to nominate.

Note 8: Dale and Luke were voted for eviction by their fellow housemates. However, seven other housemates discussed nominations in secret code, so as a punishment they faced the public vote also. They were Darnell, Kathreya, Maysoon, Mohamed, Rachel, Rex and Stuart. At the time of nominations Stuart was Head of House and exempt from being nominated. After the phone lines were opened Maysoon decided to walk from the House, her line was then closed.

Note 9: As a new housemate, Nicole was exempt from the nomination process and could not nominate or be nominated by fellow housemates. As Head of House, Rachel could nominate but could not be nominated. Housemates from Hell Kathreya and Michael failed to eat a container of Brussels Sprouts and were unable to nominate. Lastly, Darnell was banned from nominating for crossing the divide to hell.

Note 10: As Head of House, Michael could nominate but not be nominated.

Note 11: As Head of House, Rex could nominate, but not be nominated.

Note 12: There were no nominations on Monday in Week 12, instead, housemates nominated who they want to become new Head of House. Mohamed was voted as new Head of House and guaranteed a place in the final week. Housemates nominated who they wanted to be up for eviction, in front of all the other housemates using whiteboards and pens.

Note 13: Nominations do not take place in the final week, instead the public votes for which of the remaining housemates they want to win. Mohammed and Kathreya were evicted 4 days before the final after receiving the lowest number of votes. The public then voted for the final five.
