Template:Airing 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 was rumoured to be started later than normal 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 highlights shows have moved back from the usual 9pm timeslot to 10pm for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. We will also see the return of the Saturday highlights shows, which were abandoned for Big Brother 8. Thursday's, Saturday's and Sunday's highlight shows are shown at 9pm, with an edited repeat showing the following morning at 9am. There are also weekly eviction shows hosted by Davina McCall[3] where housemates are eliminated from the show by the public vote. These eviction shows are usually on a Friday night starting at 9:00 pm till 10:00pm, following that there is a half an hour break before it returns at 10:30pm for the interview of the evictee. This lasts until 11:00. For the first time since Big Brother 4 all of Davina'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, will be reduced because of the decision that E4 Music will continue 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, for example Big Brother's Big Mouth is green.

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, a London suburb, 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] Also, outside the bathroom are tokens, which housemates must buy from the shopping list and give them to Big Brother if they want to use hot water or get rewards, etc. The tokens are not returned afterwards.

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 is decorated with wallpaper of eerie doll-heads and is exposed to the elements but does have bars so that housemates cannot escape.[10] 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 was used for the karaoke part of the Japanese task.

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

On Day 38, Big Brother asked the housemates to choose between them 3 candidates for Head of House. Dale, Darnell and Luke were chosen and began their campaigns to become the 'Head of House.' This included delivering short manifesto speeches. All housemates voted, with the balloting and results completed by Day 39. It was also announced that the Head of House would be immune from nomination or eviction during the week they held the position.

On Day 39 Big Brother anounced the election results. Dale received 3 votes, Luke 2 and Darnell 9. Darnell was therefore elected to be the first Head of House.

As head of house, on day 39 Darnell had to choose 6 people to live in 'heaven with him. The rest of the housemates would go to 'hell'. The house was split into heaven and hell and only heavenly housemates could use the luxury bedroom and the luxury bathroom and hellish housemates must use the bedroom and the shower outside. Only hellish housemates can use the kitchen therefore hellish housemates must cook food for themselves and heavenly housemates. Darnell chose Maysoon, Rex, Mohammed, Dale, Kat and Rachel to be heavenly with him, leaving Luke, Bex, Sara, Belinda, Lisa, Michael and Stuart as hellish 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] Big Brother rules state that all ejected housemates must be replaced. Sara, Maysoon and Belinda entered the house on Day 30.[15]

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 must keep secret the fact that Lisa and Mario are a real couple, and instead convince the other housemates that Mario is in a relationship with Stephanie. As they failed the task, the four faced eviction.[16]
  • On Day 6, housemates had to complete a task of endurance where they had to hold a panel above their heads.[17] Dennis and Rachel were the two housemates to hold their panels above their heads for the longest time and therefore received a picnic in the garden.[18] 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.[19] 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.[20]
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.[21]
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.[22] The houseguests failed at their first attempt at this task, with Big Brother branding them "atrocious."[23]
  • 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.[24] The housemates failed the task and were not given any reward.[25]
  • On Day 13, the housemates were assigned their second shopping task, Japanorama.[26] As part of the task, they were required to learn Japanese, proper chopstick etiquette, karate, and perform karaoke.[26] The housemates passed the task on Day 14.[27]
Punishments
  • On Day 15, Rebecca opened an envelope containing a "Go to Jail" card and was sent to the jail cell in the garden.[28] 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.[29]
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.[30] Stuart chose Jennifer's portrait of him as his favourite.[31]
  • 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.[32] The housemates passed the task on Day 21.[33]
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.[34] 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.[35]
  • 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.[36]
  • On Day 21, Darnell and Dennis were sent to jail as punishment for discussing nominations.[37]
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.[38]
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.[39] The housemates failed the task and were not given any reward.[40]
  • 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.[41] 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.[42] 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.[43] On Day 28, it was revealed that the housemates passed the task and therefore earned a luxury shopping budget.[44]
Punishments
  • On Day 24, Mario and Michael were sent to jail for discussing nominations.[45]
  • 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.[46]
  • On Day 29, Rebecca was sent to jail for discussing nominations.[47]
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.[48]
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.[49] Ultimately, they chose Michael and Rachel as the winning pair.[50]
  • 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.[51] 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.[52]
  • 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.[53] Housemates failed this task on Day 35, due to three mistakes from the drummers, and countless mistakes from the dancers.[54]
  • 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.[55]
Punishments
  • On Day 32, Michael was sent to jail for discussing nominations.[56]
Exits
  • On Day 37, Mario became the fourth person evicted from the Big Brother House with 77% of the vote.[57]
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.[58] 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."[59]
  • On Day 40, the "housemates from Hell" were forced to peel potatoes in order to be able to nominate for the week.[60] The housemates completed the task and were given the right to nominate.[61] As a reward for the housemates from Hell's hard work, Big Brother gave the "Heavenly housemates" fish and chips for the evening meal.[62]

Controversy

Within the first week of the series, media watchdog Ofcom and Channel 4 had collectively received over 433[63] complaints about alleged bullying from housemate Alexandra, after an argument broke out between her and the other housemates regarding oven chips.[64] 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.[65] The broadcaster also noted that Alexandra had been warned that her behaviour could be deemed threatening.[65] 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".[66][67]

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.[34] 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.[34] Shortly after apologising, Stuart's opinion that it was done out of "spite" led to Mohamed's comment of "it's just a painting"[68]. This caused Rebecca to confront Mohamed about his involvement in the argument, and eventually Dennis to say "fuck off" several times before appearing to spit in his face. Dennis claimed however that no spit had actually left his mouth and hit Mohamed.[69] 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.[34][69] 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.[16]

Template:Fnb As Alexandra was ejected from the house on Day 14, the eviction that was to take place on Day 16 was cancelled.[29]At the time lines were closed, Alex had attracted 87% of votes to evict.

Template:Fnb Stuart was exempt from the nomination process in Week 3 as he was a new housemate; he couldn't nominate or be nominated.

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, he used a "Get Out of Jail Free" card - one of Big Brother's Ever Changing Special Prizes - to get out of jail. He was then allowed to nominate. If Luke could not have nominated, Jennifer, Rebecca, and Rex would have faced the public vote.

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 is Head of House he is immune from eviction for Week 6.
