Template:Big Brother housemates Big Brother 9 in 2008 is the ninth series of the British reality television series Big Brother currently airing on Channel 4 and E4. The series was launched on 5 June 2008, and it is due to run for 13 weeks until 5 September 2008.[1] This series started later than normal. It is rumoured that this was so that it did not clash with Britain's Got Talent, which was being aired on ITV during May.[2] Auditions were held from 21 November 2007 to 25 January 2008.

Broadcasts

The main show for the program is a highlights show, shown at 10pm on Monday to Wednesday, then at 9pm on Thursday to Sunday, with each program lasting an hour. Each Friday a housemate is evicted, the announcement of the loser of the public vote is announced live by Davina McCall at the end of the first of two programs shown on the Friday. There is then a second program at 10.30pm when McCall interviews the evictee, this second program usually last until 11.00pm, unless there is a change in plans (such as new housemates going in or a double eviction) then the program will be longer.[3] For the first time since Big Brother 4 all of McCall's interactions with the house will take place in a studio to stop the crowd chants from influencing the housemates.

Live streaming on E4 of events in the house, known as Big Brother: Direct From The House, was reduced because of the decision to keep E4 Music during the series' run rather than taking a break until the series is over. For the first time in the show's history, there will be no live web stream.[4]

The series is accompanied with the shows Big Brother's Big Mouth, Big Brother's Little Brother and Diary Room Uncut.[5] Zezi Ifore and George Lamb have replaced Dermot O' Leary as the host of Big Brother's Little Brother[6] whilst Big Brother's Big Mouth is hosted by a different guest host each week, beginning with Jack Whitehall. Chris Moyles took over for the first full week inside the Big Brother House.[7]

The weekly podcast made by the housemates in BB8 has been axed for BB9, with a 60 minute radio show Big Brother's Big Ears as its replacement. Like the podcast, it will be available for download on the Channel 4 website and is to be hosted by Iain Lee and Gemma Cairney. It will air twice a week on a Tuesday and Friday (after the Live Eviction) at 11.30pm.

The official "eye" logo was revealed on 12 May 2008, on the official Big Brother website. On 15 May the eye started its televised comeback with clips interspersed throughout the breaks, being first broadcast during the break of Come Dine With Me. 10 days before the Thursday a countdown began that featured the number of days left to wait in the new eye style. These adverts aired everyday until June 5th. Each Big Brother show shares the same logo but with a different coloured shard to reflect the show; Big Brother's Big Mouth is green, Big Brother Live and Diary Room Uncut are red, Big Brother's Little Brother is orange and Big Brother's Big Ears is purple.

House

Host Davina McCall tours the 2008 house. On her left is the main door, to her right is the sitting area and dining table and ahead of her is the bathroom. Behind the camera is the kitchen.

As with all Big Brother series since Big Brother 2002, the House is located in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, just north of London, and has been completely rebuilt with a new look for the 2008 series. The first images of the House were released in late May and showed the kitchen, living area, bathroom, one of the two bedrooms, and parts of the garden.[8] The initial set of pictures revealed a lavish, Romanesque bathroom and a red kitchen fitted with triangular furniture and wall slats facing inwards, The bedroom shown contains only eight beds surrounded by lockers and the garden was enlarged with vibrant colours and an ashtray in which housemates may smoke.[8] The dining table had only eight seats when first shown to the public; it was later shown during the launch that there was a second adjoining table.

On 4 June 2008, only one day before the launch of the series, Channel 4 released images of the luxury bedroom and for the first time before the launch show in the programme's history, the Diary Room.[9] The luxury bedroom is accessed via the garden and contains eight double beds with an oval wardrobe built into the back.[9] The Diary Room is in between the two sets of stairs by which housemates enter and exit the House (they join together at the top).[9] This means that the housemates must exit the House through the main doorway to enter the Diary Room;[8] however, the Diary Room button that the housemates use to notify Big Brother of their intent to go to the Diary Room is located next to the main door inside the House.[9] Outside the bathroom are tokens, which housemates must buy from the shopping list and give to Big Brother if they want to use hot water or get rewards. The tokens are not returned afterwards. When the house was split into Heaven and Hell, the garden had to be modified, with a new outside bathroom in "hell" and the seating area in heaven was located as the smoking area.

Other areas in the House include, for the first time, a jail for housemates who break the rules.[10] Located in a wall of the garden, the jail has a door whick locks automatically when housemates enter and is exposed to the elements but does have bars so that housemates cannot escape. On launch night, Davina McCall revealed that there is also a solitary confinement space in the House; it is accessed via the Diary Room. It has been used as a "task room" for various tasks.

Early in the morning of Day 32 (6 July 2008), the Big Brother house was evacuated because of a bomb scare. All housemates were removed for their own safety while Hertfordshire Police carried out a thorough search of the premises at around 1:15am. The scare was eventually declared a hoax and the housemates returned and the show resumed. The live feed was cut during the evacuation and search and didn't resume until 4:00am. [11]

House split

On Day 37, after Mario's eviction, Davina announced that over the weekend housemates will elect a Head of House, who would be in control of the whole house. It was also revealed that the house would be split in two, with one side being 'heaven' and the other 'hell'.

Head of House

The HoH is responsible for doing the shopping list and deciding who does what in the shopping task. The HoH is immune from being nominated for the week they are HoH, but they can still nominate. The HoH does not participate in any of the weekly shopping tasks, but supervises instead.

  • In week 6, on Day 38, housemates elected their Head of House. Dale, Luke and Darnell stood for election.
  • In week 7, on Day 45, three housemates were chosen to compete for Head of House in a competition. They had to hang from a tyre for as long as possible, with the one staying for the longest time winning the title. Darnell was not eligible to become Head of House for the second week in a row.
  • In week 8, on Day 52, Big Brother called all housemates individually to the diary room, and gave each eight chili peppers to eat. Each chili pepper was assigned a certain number of points. The housemate that scored the most points by eating the peppers would win the title of Head of House. Dale was not eligible to become Head of House for the second week in a row, so he was eating his chillis for a place in heaven.
  • In week 9, on Day 59, Big Brother called all housemates individually to the diary room, to take part in the challenge of saying the alphabet backwards. The housemate that did it in the fastest time would become Head of House.

Housemates

Main article: List of Big Brother 2008 housemates (UK)

On Day 1, the original sixteen housemates entered the Big Brother House.[12] The seventeenth housemate, Stuart, entered the House on Day 16 as a replacement for Alexandra since she was ejected on Day 14.[13] For the first time since Big Brother 5, a second housemate, Dennis, was ejected on Day 23.[14] Sara, Maysoon and Belinda entered the house on Day 30.[15] Nicole, Rex's girlfriend, entered on Day 58.[16]

Weekly summary

Week 1 Tasks
  • On Day 1 the first four housemates to enter the house, Mario, Lisa, Luke and Stephanie, were given a secret mission by Big Brother. The group had to keep secret the fact that Lisa and Mario are a real couple, and instead convince the other housemates that Mario was in a relationship with Stephanie. As they failed the task, the four faced eviction.[17]
  • On Day 6, housemates had to complete a task of endurance where they had to hold a panel above their heads.[18] Dennis and Rachel were the two housemates to hold their panels above their heads for the longest time and were therefore awarded a picnic in the garden[19], which they refused to eat [20]. As the winners, they were required to perform the week's shopping task: they must guide a wand around a wire sneaking throughout the house that shocks the other housemates whenever the wand hits the wire.[21] After two hours, the housemates failed the task because they ran out of time having already incurred two fails because Alexandra and Sylvia took off their costumes.[22]
Entrances
  • Mario, Lisa, Luke, Stephanie, Rachel, Dale, Sylvia, Dennis, Michael, Alexandra, Rex, Mohamed, Rebecca, Darnell, Jennifer and Kathreya entered the House on Day 1.[12]
Exits
  • Stephanie became the first person evicted on Day 9 with 48% of the public vote.[23]
Week 2 Tasks
  • On Day 10, Big Brother asked the most musical housemate to come to the Diary Room in order to receive the next task. The housemates were each given an instrument on which to learn a tune ("When the Saints Go Marching In"). As the most musical housemate, Darnell was assigned the role of conductor. The housemates will periodically play the instruments as an ensemble throughout their time in the house. The task will last the duration of the housemates' time in the Big Brother house.[24] The houseguests failed at their first attempt at this task, with Big Brother branding them "atrocious."[25]
  • On Day 11, the housemates were asked to sort 6.25kg of crisps by flavour merely by licking them. If the housemates came within a five percentage point margin of error for each flavour, Big Brother would give the housemates one token.[26] The housemates failed the task and were not given any reward.[27]
  • On Day 13, the housemates were assigned their second shopping task, Japanorama.[28] As part of the task, they were required to learn Japanese, proper chopstick etiquette, karate, and perform karaoke.[28] The housemates passed the task on Day 14.[29]
Punishments
  • On Day 15, Rebecca opened an envelope containing a "Go to Jail" card and was sent to the jail cell in the garden.[30] During her time in jail, Rebecca used make-up to write out a sign saying "Big Brother is a Beast". As punishment for breaking the house rule against writing, Big Brother extended Rebecca's stay in the jail by one hour.
Entrances
  • Stuart entered the house on Day 16.[13]
Exits
  • On Day 14, Alexandra was ejected from the Big Brother House.[31]
Week 3 Tasks
  • On Day 18, Big Brother conducted "Big Brother's Life Class," wherein housemates had to either paint or sculpt new housemate Stuart nude. If Big Brother appreciated the housemates' art, they would be granted one token.[32] Stuart chose Jennifer's portrait of him as his favourite.[33]
  • On Day 20, Big Brother assigned housemates with their shopping task, in which the housemates had to recreate the video of "Here It Goes Again" by OK Go, by hopping around the treadmills in unison. Housemates were allowed a maximum of three mistakes.[34] The housemates passed the task on Day 21.[35]
Incidents
  • Early in the morning on Day 23, a major argument began when Rex smudged a piece of pizza on Jennifer's winning drawing of Stuart from the life drawing task earlier in the week.[36] The resulting argument, involving many of the housemates, caused not only the live feed of the house to be suspended, but the ejection of Dennis.
Punishments
  • On Day 19, Dennis, Jennifer, Kathreya, Rebecca, Rex, Stuart and Sylvia were punished for discussing the audition process by being forced to select two of the culprits to spend time in jail. They chose Dennis and Jennifer to be imprisoned.[37]
  • On Day 19, Mohamed and Rex were sent to jail for twenty hours as punishment for talking about nominations. They were released on Day 20.[38]
  • On Day 21, Darnell and Dennis were sent to jail as punishment for discussing nominations.[39]
Exits
  • On Day 23, Dennis was ejected from the House for unacceptable behaviour after he spat on Mohamed.[14]
  • On Day 23, Sylvia became the second evictee and the fourth person to leave the House with 90.2% of the public vote.[40]
Week 4 Tasks
  • On Day 24, housemates had to trim topiaries into various randomly selected shapes. If the housemates were able to trim their plants to the required standard, Big Brother would grant them one token.[41] The housemates failed the task and were not given any reward.[42]
  • On Day 25, housemates were paired together by Michael, and one housemate in each pair would be blindfolded for three hours, while their partner leads them around. After three hours, the other housemate in the pair would be blindfolded for three hours. Michael would assist and advise the group in this task. Housemates would fail it the blindfolded partner took off their blindfold, unless instructed to by Big Brother. If the housemates passed the task, they would receive one token.[43] Big Brother decided that housemates completed this task to a satisfactory level, so the housemates got one token.
  • On Day 27, the housemates took part in their weekly shopping task. All housemates had to dress up as animals and take part in separate tasks without incurring more than two fails.[44] Lisa and Stuart were flamingos and had to stand on one leg for twenty minutes. Jennifer and Rebecca were seals who had fishy water thrown on them by zookeeper Mario every time Big Brother played a snippet from the song "Kiss from a Rose" by Seal. Elephants Luke and Michael had to memorize an excerpt from Rudyard Kipling's "The Elephant's Child." Darnell and Mohamed were rabbits and had to eat one carrot every fifteen minutes. Dale and Rex were kangaroos and had to take part in a boxing demonstration. Kathreya and Rachel were a two-headed llama and had to stay inside their costume together for the duration of the task.[45] On Day 28, it was revealed that the housemates passed the task and therefore earned a luxury shopping budget.[46]
Punishments
  • On Day 24, Mario and Michael were sent to jail for discussing nominations.[47]
  • On Day 26, Luke was sent to jail for discussing and trying to influence nominations. He was also banned from nominating. However, because he used a "Get Out of Jail Free" card, he was allowed to nominate.[48]
  • On Day 29, Rebecca was sent to jail for discussing nominations.[49]
Entrances
  • Sara, Maysoon and Belinda entered the House on Day 30.[15]
Exits
  • On Day 30, Jennifer became the third person evicted from the Big Brother House with 89.7% of the vote.[50]
Week 5 Tasks
  • On Day 31, the housemates took part in a task that required them to depict new housemates Belinda, Maysoon and Sara nude, in the medium of graffiti art. Housemates were paired up for this task. After the drawings were completed, the pairs presented their work, and Belinda, Maysoon and Sara had to decide whose "street art" was the best.[51] Ultimately, they chose Michael and Rachel as the winning pair.[52]
  • On Day 32, housemates were divided into teams of five by captains Belinda, Maysoon and Sara and instructed to fight their way out of large paper bags. If all housemates fought their way out of all paper bags within twenty minutes, the house would receive one token.[53] Housemates were able to escape their bags within the time limit, but did not receive a token due to breaches of the rules by Belinda, Kathreya, Rebecca and Sara. The team of Dale, Luke, Mario, Maysoon and Mohamed received a special reward for being the only team to complete the task whilst following all rules.[54]
  • On Day 34, Big Brother announced that for this week's shopping task, housemates must learn a traditional Irish dance as a group. Dale was chosen as choreographer, Belinda, Luke, Mario and Michael were drummers, and the rest of the housemates danced.[55] Housemates failed this task on Day 35, due to three mistakes from the drummers, and countless mistakes from the dancers.[56]
  • On Day 36, housemates had to express themselves entirely in song for one hour. They completed this task, and Big Brother rewarded them with alcohol and lemonade.[57]
Punishments
  • On Day 32, Michael was sent to jail for discussing nominations.[58]
Exits
  • On Day 37, Mario became the fourth person evicted from the Big Brother House with 77% of the vote.[59]
Week 6 Tasks
  • On Day 38, housemates elected Big Brother's first Head of House. In addition to making important decisions regarding food and tasks, the Head of House would be immune from the week's eviction. Dale, Darnell and Luke were selected as the candidates to run for the position.[60] Darnell was elected Head of House, and subsequently had to choose six housemates to live in "Heaven" with him, gaining exclusive access to the Luxury Bedroom and Bathroom and the ability to exchange tokens. Darnell chose Dale, Kathreya, Maysoon, Mohamed, Rachel and Rex to join him in "Heaven," sending the remaining housemates to "Hell."[61]
  • On Day 40, the "housemates from Hell" were forced to peel potatoes in order to be able to nominate for the week.[62] The housemates completed the task and were given the right to nominate.[63] As a reward for the housemates from Hell's hard work, Big Brother gave the "Heavenly housemates" fish and chips for the evening meal.[64]
  • On Day 41, housemates had to participate in a French-themed shopping task for which Darnell assigned roles. Kathreya and Rex participated in a French food challenge by attempting to eat a five-foot-long baguette[65], Dale and Mohamed had to identify wine by taste and bouquet, and Maysoon and Rachel had to master the craft of mime. The "housemates from Hell" had to pedal a total of 1040 km on two stationary bikes (later reduced to 520 km due to one of the bikes not working). As Head of House, Darnell did not participate in the task, nor did Luke, who was suffering an illness.[66] Housemates passed the mime and biking tasks, but failed the wine and food tasks and were given a basic shopping budget.[67]
  • On Day 43, the "housemates from Hell" had to transport a large manure across the yard using trowels and a wheelbarrow.[68] They passed this task, and in addition to winning the promised tokens, they earned the "Heavenly housemates" an evening of barbecue and water pistols. After the task results were announced, Belinda was given an envelope which directed her to send a "Heavenly housemate" to "luxury jail." Belinda chose to send Darnell.[68]
Punishments
  • On Day 43, Stuart was sent to jail for telling other housemates to nominate him.[69]
Exits
  • On Day 44, Belinda became the fifth person evicted from the Big Brother House with 65% of the vote.[70]
Week 7 Tasks
  • On Day 45, housemates had to choose three of their number to compete in a task to replace outgoing Head of House Darnell. The selected housemates would have to hang on a tire swing dressed as gorillas, with nothing to eat but bananas. Whomever could hang on the longest would win. The housemates chosen to compete were Dale, Maysoon and Rebecca, the latter of whom fell from her swing in under five minutes.[71] Dale eventually won the task and was named Head of House for Week 7.[72] He chose Luke, Maysoon, Rebecca, Rex and Stuart to join him in Heaven.[73]
  • On Day 47, the housemates from Hell were forced to peel and chop onions in order to earn the right to nominate.[74] They passed this task and were therefore allowed to nominate.[75]
  • On Day 48, housemates engaged in a shopping task based around the theme of "time." Housemates from Hell had to, at regular intervals, find the ringing alarm clock in the Task Room, which had been filled with clocks, and turn it off. Housemates from Hell also had to continually refill a large egg timer with sand to ensure it never ran out. Luke, Rebecca and Rex had to unearth various objects in an archaeological dig and determine when they were created. Maysoon and Stuart had to construct a large pocket watch using components provided by Big Brother. In addition, all housemates except Dale had to form a "human clock" in the garden, with each housemate assigned a number on a large clock face and estimating in turn when five minutes had passed. As Head of House, Dale had to oversee the tasks but was not allowed to participate in any of them.[76] Though housemates failed the archaeological dig and human clock tasks, they passed the remaining tasks and as such were given a luxury shopping budget for the week.[77]
Punishments
  • During the "Hanging Around" task on Day 45, Kathreya and Mohamed crossed the fence into Hell to eat the bananas that were being used as decor for the task. As housemates had been explicitly warned not to do this, Kathreya and Mohamed were forced to spend the week in Hell as punishment. [78] Big Brother also confiscated their suitcases and their possessions.[79] Later during the task, Darnell also consumed a banana and disqualified himself from living in Heaven for the week.[80]
  • On Day 48, Darnell was sent to jail as punishment for discussing nominations.[80]
Exits
  • On Day 51, Rebecca became the sixth person evicted from the Big Brother House with 65.4% of the public vote.[81]
Week 8
Tasks
  • On Day 52, housemates were called to the diary room in alphabetical order to participate in the next Head of House competition. Housemates had five minutes to eat a variety of chili peppers worth one to eight points, with eight points being the hottest and one point being the mildest. Whichever housemate finished with the most points would be the new Head of House.[82] Stuart won with 34 points and became the new Head of House. Michael, Mohamed and Rex, who placed second, third and fourth, respectively, joined him in Heaven.[83]
  • On Day 54, housemates from Hell were informed that in order to nominate, they would have to separate approximately fourteen thousand hundreds-and-thousands into six different colours.[84] Housemates completed the task to Big Brother's satisfaction and were allowed to nominate.
  • On Day 55, housemates undertook a "cops and robbers" themed challenge, with Heavenly housemates as cops and housemates from Hell as robbers.[85] Heavenly housemates had to participate in a "stakeout," ensuring that two cops were in the police car set up in the garden at all times, and that all food and drink brought into the car was consumed.[86] Lisa and Luke had to identify Mohamed's brother and Rex's girlfriend from a police line-up of seven people.[87] Kathreya, Rachel and Sara were required to print $100,000 worth of counterfeit money.[88] Dale, Darnell and Maysoon had to work out arithmetic equations in order to crack a safe.[89] In a second, secret task, Dale and Maysoon also had to cross the fence into Heaven, steal a token, and hide it in Hell.[90] It was revealed that this secret task alone would actually determine the shopping budget. Housemates failed this task as the cops figured out that Dale and Maysoon were responsible for taking the token.[91] As a result of failure, housemates received their usual basic shopping budget. However, Rex and Michael chose to buy 57 of Big Brother's Ever Changing Special Prize Tokens from the shopping list, along with tea, coffee, milk, sugar and a packet of custard creams.[92] Some of the special prizes included jam, ham, spam, babysham, a pram, a carcass of lamb and a record voucher for a song by Wham!.
Punishments
  • On Day 55, Big Brother punished Darnell, Kathreya, Maysoon, Mohamed, Rachel, Rex and Stuart for discussing nominations in code by announcing that these housemates would face the public vote. They joined Dale and Luke, who were already up for eviction after receiving the most nominations.[93] In addition, Stuart was stripped of his status as Head of House.[94]
Entrances
  • On Day 58, Nicole, Rex's girlfriend, entered the Big Brother House.[16]
Exits
  • On Day 56, Maysoon voluntarily left the Big Brother House. [95]
  • On Day 58, Luke became the seventh person evicted from the Big Brother House with 37% of the vote.[96]
Week 9
Tasks
  • On Day 59, housemates were called to the Diary Room and asked to recite the alphabet backwards. The housemate who completed this task in the shortest amount of time would be the new Head of House, and the three housemates who took the longest would spend the week in Hell. Rachel won the title of Head of House, while Kathreya, Michael and Nicole were the slowest and were sent to Hell.[97]
Punishments
  • Upon entering the house on Day 58, Nicole jumped the fence dividing Heaven and Hell. As punishment, on Day 59, Big Brother confiscated her suitcase and her personal belongings.[98]

Controversy

Within the first week of the series, media watchdog Ofcom and Channel 4 had collectively received over 433[99] complaints about alleged bullying from housemate Alexandra, after an argument broke out between her and the other housemates regarding oven chips.[100] Channel 4 defended its housemate selection, claiming that the production team were closely watching the housemates as they normally do to ensure the safety of the housemates.[101] The broadcaster also noted that Alexandra had been warned that her behaviour could be deemed threatening.[101] On Day 14 she was ejected from the house after apparently threatening to have housemates who nominated her for eviction dealt with by her "gangster friends".[102][103]

Early in the morning on Day 23, a major argument began when Rex smudged a piece of pizza on Jennifer's winning drawing of Stuart from the life drawing task earlier in the week.[36] Although she accepted Rex's apology Jennifer became increasingly agitated and upset, attracting a number of housemates to the luxury bedroom. Upon hearing about the incident, fellow housemates Dale and Stuart were visibly enraged and demanded Rex apologise, which he had already done.[36] Shortly after apologising, Stuart's opinion that it was done out of "spite" led to Mohamed's comment of "it's just a painting"[104]. This caused Rebecca to confront Mohamed about his involvement in the argument, and eventually Dennis to say "f**k off" several times before appearing to spit in his face. Dennis claimed however that no spit had actually left his mouth and hit Mohamed.[105] The live feed of the House was then cut at this point, but most of the argument, its build-up and repercussions were included in the highlights the following night.[36][105] On Day 23, Dennis was ejected from the house due to his actions, which were deemed as unacceptable behaviour by Big Brother.

Template:Fnb There were no nominations 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.[17]

Template:Fnb Because of the ejection of Alexandra, the second eviction was cancelled, and instead new housemate, Stuart, entered.[31]During the time the lines were available to vote, Alexandra had recieved 87% of the public vote.

Template:Fnb 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.

Template:Fnb 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.

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

Template:Fnb 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.

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

Template:Fnb 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.

Template:Fnb Nicole was exempt from the nomination process in Week 9 as she was a new housemate meaning she couldn't nominate or be nominated by fellow housemates. Also, as Rachel was Head of House she could nominate but could not be nominated.

Ratings

All ratings are taken from BARB, a consortium that announces viewing figures that are considered "official," that is, take into account not only overnight figures but also recordings. BARB figures are usually released about a week after each episode; however, percentages are from overnight sources. Week 1 includes the launch week, which consists only of a Thursday and Friday show.
