Template:Current television series Template:Big Brother housemates Big Brother 2007 is the eighth and current series of the United Kingdom reality television programme Big Brother, airing on Channel 4, with a number of closely associated programmes also airing on E4.[1]

The series began on 30 May 2007, when eleven female contestants entered the house.[2] A twelfth housemate, this time male, was then added two days later.[3] Day 10 saw the introduction of two new male housemates after Emily's removal.

This is the first Big Brother series to air in the UK since the controversial 2007 Celebrity Big Brother, and a number of changes have been made to the show, including the omission of text message voting, and a reduction in the cost of calls to vote for evictions from 50p to 25p. At least 10p from each vote will go to charity, and Channel Four has announced it is to make no profit from voting fees this series.[4]

Auditions

The first round of auditions started on 6 January 2007[5] at the SECC in Glasgow, where there was a queue of three hundred people.[6] Auditions were also held in Birmingham, Cardiff, Dublin, London, Manchester, and Newcastle.[7]

Sponsorship

On 8 March 2007, it was announced that The Carphone Warehouse would not return to sponsor Big Brother 2007 after cancelling its sponsorship of Celebrity Big Brother 2007,[8] and on 21 March, that Virgin Media would sponsor the show, for a reported £3 million.[9] Virgin Media's idents for the show use footage from Big Brother programmes from all around the world.[2]

The iconic Big Brother eye has been redesigned to what has been described as a "centrifugal inter-locking RGB rainbow test card"[citation needed] by its designer Daniel Eatock.[10] He had also confirmed that this year's logo "has a very special meaning that will be revealed come launch night",[11] however, no official confirmation was made. Although there was no official confirmation, insiders working at Big Brother revealed the secret meaning of the Big Brother logo. This year, on the show's titles and other teasers, the logo is seen rotating many parts of its eye. The insider revealed that the rotating parts represented secret rooms in the Big Brother house which will rotate.[12]

Broadcasts

On 4 April 2007, it was announced that Russell Brand had quit the spin off show Big Brother's Big Mouth.[13] As a replacement there was to be a guest host each week on Big Brother's Big Mouth, starting with Chris Moyles who presented the first three editions from launch night,[14] and was succeeded by George Galloway, a Respect Party MP, and former Celebrity Big Brother contestant.[15]

Dermot O'Leary returned again to present Big Brother's Little Brother and, despite rumours printed in the Daily Mail, Davina McCall has also returned to present the live eviction shows as well as a spin-off show; Big Brother On The Couch which airs as an hour long show each Sunday[1] and replaced Big Brother's Big Brain, which was axed.[16]

Before the launch programme, Channel 4 presented a statement from Ofcom explaining the racism incidents from Celebrity Big Brother earlier in the year. The statement said:

"This is a summary of findings from Ofcom, the communications regulator, about the Channel 4 series "Celebrity Big Brother."

In January 2007, Ofcom received over 44,500 complaints, mainly about potentially racist material.

Ofcom has concluded that Channel 4 failed to handle appropriately the strong content it was transmitting. This resulted in breaches of the Ofcom Broadcasting Code, which is designed to ensure that when broadcasters show potentially offensive material, they do so in a way which offers adequate protection to the viewer.

Ofcom has found that Channel 4 breached the Code on three separate occasions. Its decision to repeat one of these incidents in its early morning show resulted in a further breach for failing to protect children.

There was also a serious failure in Channel 4's compliance processes which meant that it was not aware of all the relevant activity in the House at a particularly critical time. This compounded its failure to ensure compliance with the Code.

These are significant failings. Ofcom has therefore imposed a formal sanction on Channel Four, directing it to broadcast this statement. This ensures that the largest number of viewers will be made fully aware of the seriousness of Channel 4's failure to comply.

For the full adjudication please visit www.ofcom.org.uk

This was followed immediately by a Channel 4 ident, and then the Big Brother titles. Channel 4 also broadcast the Ofcom statement on the morning of 31 May 2007 before the early morning repeat, and have been directed by Ofcom to display it again immediately before the first live show on Friday 8 June.[17]

Ratings

Main article: Big Brother (UK) ratings

The launch show was the fourth most watched launch show in Big Brother UK history by attracting an average of 6.2 million viewers. The number of viewers rose to 8 million after The British Soap Awards on ITV1 and The Apprentice on BBC One ended. The next night saw a traditional drop in ratings with the show shedding more than 2 million viewers while 4 million people watched the first highlights show of the series, which was 22% of the television audience between 10:00 and 11:05.[18] Despite the promising launch show ratings, the two Friday shows did not fare well in the ratings with the first show attracting 3.3 million people (15%).[19] Although this show was up against Match of the Day Live which aired England's first match at the new Wembley stadium. However, at 10:30, the second Big Brother show, which showed the entrance of the first male contestant, was watched by 4.3 million viewers (24.6%).[20] 4.6 million viewers watched the highlights show on 7 June which contained Emily's ejection from the Big Brother house due to using a racial slur.[21] This was the second-highest viewed show after the launch show at the time.

House

After previous speculation that Big Brother 2007 would be broadcast from a new location in Hammersmith, it was confirmed that the series would still be broadcast from Elstree. However, it will be the last series to be so, with a new house being built in Hammersmith for 2008.[22]

The layout of the house remains much the same as the previous series, although the kitchen has moved to the other side of the main living area.[2] Many of the kitchen appliances are scattered around the house, with the oven and heat proof surface in the bedroom and the fridge in the garden while the old kitchen area has been replaced with a bath and kitchen sink.[23]

The bedroom contains a single, double and triple bed as well as two four person beds. Outside the bedroom window, in the main living area, is a lip shaped sofa that the presenters of the show refer to as "the lips".[2]

As well as the kitchen fridge the garden contains a swimming pool, a seating area and, due to the smoking ban that will come into effect in all public places during the series, a smoking area which housemates will have to use from 1 July.[22] The grass from the previous series has been replaced with Astroturf.[24]

A corridor was added between the diary room door and the main house which changes colour from red to blue to green when the "eye" button to open the door is pressed. The diary room chair has been changed to a much larger see-through chair which contains white neon lights. The house also contains a salon/bathroom which houses two large hair dryers and two steam suits.[2]

Housemates

The 11 female housemates entering on Day 1

Twelve housemates are currently participating in this series of Big Brother in the UK where they are observed by television viewers 24 hours a day. Each week, two or more housemates will be nominated to be evicted by the general public until the winner is left. All of the housemates that entered on the first day were female, then on the third day; a male housemate - Ziggy - entered the house.[25] Rumours exist around future housemates, namely 18 year old Ross Noakes from Essex who has been guarded by Big Brother minders and recently went missing and bisexual David Levin, from North-West London.[26][27] On June 7, 2007 it was announced on Big Brother's Big Mouth that Day 10 would see the addition of two male housemates, in replacement of the cancelled eviction.[15] These two housemates were Gerry and Seány.

Amanda Marchant

Amanda Louise Marchant[28] (born 24 June 1988) is one of the first set of twins ever to appear on Big Brother in the UK, alongside her sister, Sam. She is a social-care student from Newcastle-under-Lyme.[29]

Charley's entry was speculated by the British tabloid press.[35] She was negatively received by the live audience on the launch night.[36] Whilst being in the house Charley has claimed to have 'raved' with footballers such as Frank Lampard and John Terry, however, outside the house the footballers have denied such rumours.[37]

Emily was called to the diary room to discuss this with Big Brother, and was unable to say goodbye to other housemates.[43]

Zachary Sami "Ziggy" Lichman[45] (born 5 January 1981) is a French Connection male model from North London, and a former member of the boy band Northern Line.[3] He was the first male to enter the house, entering on Day 3. As part of a nomination twist, Ziggy was the only person to nominate in Week 1.[3]

Weekly summary

Week 1

On Day 1, eleven female housemates entered the Big Brother house. No male housemates entered the house on launch night for the first time in Big Brother (UK) history. Davina stated at the end of the launch show that one male housemate would enter the house on 1 June 2007, two days after the initial launch.[2] On Day 2 the housemates were given a break-dancing task, they were split into two crews and competed against each other.[61] On Day 3 Shabnam and Carole conducted a Podcast by order of Big Brother. The Podcast is a weekly task taking part on Fridays and is available for download on the Channel 4 website.[62] The first male housemate, Ziggy, entered the house on Day 3, he was told by Big Brother that he would be the only housemate allowed to nominate for the first eviction vote on Day 5.[3] On Day 6, Shabnam was punished for discussing nominations. As a result of her rule-breaking, Big Brother made the bathroom off-limits to all housemates until further notice.[63] Ziggy made his nominations on Day 7. Emily suspected that she was one of the two being nominated, when she asked Ziggy whom he had nominated. Consequently, both Ziggy and Emily would be punished for discussing nominations. [64][65] Emily and Shabnam were the first two housemates nominated for eviction.[40] On Day 8, Ziggy and Emily were punished by being forced to pick another housemate to be punished on their behalf. They chose Shabnam. As a result, Shabnam's clothes, make-up, and belongings were confiscated by Big Brother.[66] The first eviction of the series was scheduled for Day 10. Following Emily's removal from the house the intended eviction was cancelled.[67] Instead of the first eviction it was announced on Big Brother's Big Mouth that two new male housemates would be entering the house due to Emily's removal.[15] The two new housemates were Gerry and Seány, both of whom are gay.

Criticism and Controversy

Nine days into the new series, Channel 4 was criticised for deciding to air the word nigger on their daily highlights show.[68] After the criticism they received for not handling the Celebrity Big Brother 2007 racism allegations properly back in January, they were quick to intervene after Emily used the word in conversation with Charley. On the other hand, Charley and Nicky subsequently used the same contentious word several times. No action was seen to be taken against them.[43] After Emily's ejection from the Big Brother house was announced, 922 viewers complained to Ofcom, the British television regulator believing that Emily's ejection was unfair.[69] Another 270 people expressed dissatisfaction with Channel 4's decision to air the word "nigger" uncensored.[69]
