Weekly summary

[edit]
Day 1 Entrances
  • Shaun, Sarah, Sam, Derek, Marissa, Sandi, Chad, Helen, Karthik, Brandi, Jordan, Trisha, Jemma, Amelia and Paul entered the house.
Twists
  • Immediately after entering the house, Shaun was given a secret mission to act increasingly nervous each time a new housemate entered the house and complete several challenges. He failed, meaning he received a killer nomination to give to somebody.
Nominations
  • As a result of Shaun's task, he was required to give a killer nomination. He chose Marissa and she faced the public vote.
Day 2 Tasks
  • Housemates took part in a talent show with Chad, Helen and Sandi as judges. Jordan and Sam ultimately won.
Day 3 Tasks
  • Housemates were split into two teams and had to guess which housemate from the opposing team each fact was about. If they got it right, the housemate would be gunged.
Day 4 Punishments
  • As a punishment for Brandi, Jordan and Sam discussing nominations, all luxury food was removed from the house and housemates had to live on basic rations.
Tasks
  • Derek, Helen and Paul won today's task and therefore membership to "Big Brothers Private Members' Club", where they lived a life of luxury and were immune from the first public vote.
Day 5 Tasks
  • For today's task, housemates who weren't members of the "Private Members' Club" had to wait under a star for it to fall and reveal a gift. Unbeknownst to them, the gifts were allocated to them by the current members. However, if they failed to catch their star they didn't win the reward. During this task, Brandi, Sam and Shaun won membership.
  • Big Brother offered non-members a temptation in return for no further chances to win immunity and therefore automatically face the first public vote. Trisha was the only housemate to accept this.
Day 6 Tasks
  • The members of the "Private Members' Club" chose the final three to face the public vote. They chose Chad, Karthik and Sarah, who joined Marissa and Trisha in facing the first public vote. Amelia, Jemma, Jordan and Sandi therefore joined the "Private Members' Club" and were safe from eviction.
Day 8 Tasks
  • Led by Derek, the Housemates took part in a ghostly tour in both the Blossom Suite and the Forest Suite.
Exits
  • Marissa was evicted from the house, receiving the fewest votes to save.
Day 9 Nominations
  • The housemates nominated for the first time. Chad, Karthik, Sarah and Trisha received the most nominations and faced the public vote.

Day 12 Tasks
  • Housemates competed in "Cheerleading Camp". After being voted for by the public to be captains, Sarah captained Amelia, Brandi, Chad, Derek and Paul, whilst Sandi captained Helen, Jemma, Jordan, Sam and Shaun. They competed against each other, with the winning team earning immunity from the next eviction.
Day 13 Nominations
  • The blue team won the cheerleading competition and therefore immunity. They had to choose two people from the red team to save from facing eviction. They chose Sandi and Shaun meaning that Helen, Jemma, Jordan and Sam faced the public vote.
Day 14 Punishments

Day 17 Nominations
  • Brandi and Paul incorrectly guessed that Sarah and Sandi were the killers meaning that Sam and Sarah's killer nominations faced the public vote.

Notes

[edit]
  • ^Note 1 : On Day 1, Shaun was given a secret mission to win immunity and the power to give a killer nomination. However, he failed the task and was therefore eligible to be nominated, but still had to give a killer nomination. He chose Marissa.[29]
  • ^Note 2 : From Day 4 to 6, housemates competed to earn membership to the "Private Members' Club", where they lived a life of luxury and were immune from the first eviction. As Trisha accepted a temptation of pizza, she automatically put herself up for eviction. As Chad, Karthik and Sarah failed to gain membership by the end of Day 6, they joined Marissa and Trisha in facing eviction.[30]
  • ^Note 3 : Housemates competed against each other in two teams in order to win immunity. The blue team won the task, also saving Sandi and Shaun from eviction.
  • ^Note 4 : This eviction was a double eviction.
  • ^Note 5 : Sam and Sarah were chosen by the public to be the killers in the criminal case and, over Day 16 and 17, they had to killer nominate by "murdering" the housemate they have chosen. At the end of Day 17, detectives Brandi and Paul would have to choose which housemates they thought were the killers. If they had guessed correctly, the identified killers would face the public vote. However, they guessed incorrectly and the killers were immune.[31]
  • ^Note 6 : The public were voting to win rather than to save. The votes were frozen on Day 23, where the housemate with the fewest votes was evicted via the backdoor. The voting percentages reflect the overall share of the final vote when the lines closed for good, and do not account for intermittent voting freezes. Sarah won with 54.15% of the vote over Amelia.
