Big Brother (Australian TV series) season 10

Big Brother Australia 2013, also known as Big Brother 10, is the latest season of the Australian reality television series Big Brother Australia. It began on 28 July 2013, with a pre-recorded Launch Show airing on 29 July 2013 on the Nine Network. The season will end on 6 November 2013; lasting 101 days, it is the longest Big Brother season to date. It is the second season of the show to air on the network after it picked up the series in 2012, following a four-year absence. Sonia Kruger continued to host the show, with Mike Goldman continuing as narrator.

Production

Development

The renewal of Big Brother was predicted before the finale of the previous season due to the success the reboot had in ratings. The renewal was confirmed when it was included in Nine's 2013 programming advertisements from 23 November 2012. Open auditions for the new season took place in April 2013. This year, Darwin and Hobart were not visited, however, Newcastle was. For the first time since moving to Nine, the show accepted video auditions provided the auditionee lived more than 500 km away from the closest audition venue. In mid-July, an announcement on the official Facebook page confirmed that the tenth season of Big Brother Australia would feature more housemates to enter the house than previous seasons. On 21 July 2013, after the housemates had entered lockdown, it was confirmed that a weekly live games task would take place in the first four weeks of the season; it was known as the 'Saturday Showdown' and was hosted by Shelley Craft, with commentary from Mike Goldman and 2012 housemate Michael Beveridge (although the 'Saturday Showdown' was later discovered on the official website as a pre-recorded showing of the previous night when the games take place and no live recording would be done). This was similar to the Friday Night Live games format used in previous seasons. Later that same day, it was revealed that "the biggest twist in Big Brother history" would involve the possibility of a separation within the house, as said in cryptic announcements from Big Brother and in advertisements showing sneak peeks of the new season. It was suspected that the twist will somehow affect the running and outcome of the Saturday Showdown. On 25 July 2013, speculations surfaced on whether the eviction shows would be moving to Monday nights due to the returning Australia's Got Talent. These rumours were later confirmed by Nine before the show began with a pre-recorded launch on 29 July 2013.

Mid-season changes

Week 4 changes

In response to declining ratings and viewer complaints, several changes were made during the fourth week of the season. The second eviction, which was originally planned to be a single eviction, became a double eviction necessitated by the cancellation of the Halfway House concept on the Wednesday.

Showdown also moved from its Saturday timeslot a week earlier than originally planned. Showdown was intended to air on a Saturday for the first four weeks, up until 24 August 2013, before moving to Thursday due to the NRL finals airing from the following weekend. Showdown is no longer hosted by Shelley Craft and Michael Beveridge no longer provides commentary as the games are now shown in sequence during the daily show depicting Wednesday's events – with Mike Goldman, the sole survivor of the revamp, providing narration as per normal.

Late Night Feast

At the same time, it was also announced that beginning on 27 August 2013, Nine would air a new show titled Late Night Feast at 9:30PM. Each episode depicted the events that took place during a party thrown by Big Brother days earlier on Friday night. Each party was themed – with the first being Las Vegas and Hawaiian the following week – and followed a loose structure. While the housemates sit at a table, eating food and drink provided by Big Brother, they discussed topics aimed more towards adult viewing – including religion, sexuality and politics – and then proceeded to play party games and were then given music to dance to.

Unlike other adult-orientated shows that had previously aired on Ten – Up Late, Uncut and Adults Only – the show was not hosted, nor did Mike Goldman provide any narration – instead footage of housemates in the diary room on the Saturday, discussing the previous night's events, was shown to link the various segments together.

At the end of the eviction show on 23 September 2013, Sonia announced that the final Late Night Feast would air the following night.

Week 10 schedule changes

On 6 September 2013, Dreamworld e-mailed people who had already purchased tickets for 30 September 2013 eviction that the date had been changed to 2 October 2013 as a result of "scheduling changes" and that all evictions from that date would occur on a Wednesday. Despite initial speculation that this was due to increased airtime for Australia's Got Talent, it was later confirmed that a 90-minute show would continue to air on Monday's – indicating the change is a result of wanting to move eviction shows so they no longer air against The X Factor.

The show that was originally intended to be an eviction on 30 September 2013 was used as an intruder eviction and also added two new female intruders to the house.

As a result, the entire schedule for the show has been re-worked and came into effect from 1 October 2013. Nominations moved from Tuesday to Thursday and was cut-down to an hour length, then Confidential moved from Wednesday to Thursday airing immediately after nominations and the Monday and Tuesday shows became daily shows, with Monday covering the three previous days in the house. Showdown now takes places on Monday, and is incorporated into Tuesday's daily show.

Week 11 schedule changes

Beginning in the eleventh week, the Tuesday daily show had its length reduced to 60 minutes − the Tuesday timeslot, which up until the week prior was used for Nominations, had run for 90 minutes since the series began.

Confidential's cancellation

Starting in the twelveth week, Nine removed Confidential from the schedule after airing after Nominations on a Thursday for just two weeks. As a result, Thursday's broadcast was trimmed to 60 minutes, down 30 minutes from it's length it had been since the beginning of the series.

As a result of the cancellation, a total of two hours had been removed from Nine's schedule dedicated to broadcasting the series compared to when it began.

Extension

Originally planned to end on 23 October 2013, rumours began circulating in late September 2013 that the series had been extended by two weeks. This was fueled by the previous year's winner, Benjamin Norris, mentioning an extension in a blog post on 17 September 2013 that covered that week's fake double eviction. It was also further fueled by the date of the finale being removed from the terms and conditions of the KFC Say It with Chicken competition that would see two tickets to the finale being given away. On 26 September 2013, tickets appeared on the Dreamworld website to an Eviction show that will take place on the original finale date, confirming that the series had been extended in some capacity.

On 21 October 2013, the new date for the finale was revealed - 6, November 2013.

Weekly summary

• On Day 0, 12 new housemates entered. Upon entry, each housemate had to choose a key. The chosen key would determine whether they would live in the Safe House or the Halfway House.
• On Day 1, latecomers Drew and Jade entered the Safe House but stayed in their Honeymoon Suite for part of their secret task in which they had to fool the other housemates into thinking that they were a married couple.
• On Day 8, latecomers Rohan and Katie & Lucy entered the Safe House but stayed in a separate bedroom. (Previously the Honeymoon Suite)
• On Day 9, housemates nominated for the first time. As Drew and Jade were automatically nominated for eviction, they moved directly to the Halfway House. Mikkayla, Sharon, and Jasmin received the most nomination points, and therefore they also moved to the Halfway House. Heidi and Tim both had 10 nomination points, and therefore it was up to the housemate with the most nomination points, Mikkayla, to decide which of them would move to the Halfway House and who would subsequently face eviction. Mikkayla chose Tim.
• On Day 10, one housemate was asked to answer a question by Big Brother. Tahan volunteered to do so, which meant she had to choose to swap one nominated housemate with someone else. She chose to swap Mikkayla with Heidi; because of this, they swapped sides.
• On Day 16, the new nominated housemates moved into the Halfway House, while the others remained or moved into the Safe House.
• On Day 17, Mikkayla was given the save and replace choice. She chose to save herself and nominate Matthew to take her place, which meant they had to swap sides.
• On Day 23, the new nominated housemates moved into the Halfway House, whilst the others remained or moved into the Safe House.
• On Day 24, the Halfway House and the Safe House joined together and the divide was dismantled.

Weekly Summary

Week 1	Entrances	Mikkayla, Xavier, Tahan, Tully, Matthew and Caleb entered the Halfway House on Day 0. Ben, Tim, Sharon, Ed, Heidi and Jasmin entered the Safe House on Day 0. Drew and Jade entered the Safe House on Day 1.
	Punishments	On Day 0, Tahan decided to cross the divide between the two houses; as a result, she had to return all of her clothes to Big Brother, where they were kept for 24 hours. As Caleb got half way across the divide, he had to return half of his clothes to Big Brother, where they were also kept for 24 hours. When their suitcases were returned, however, they were empty. On Day 3, their clothes were finally returned to them after Heidi succeeded in her secret task (see Tasks).
	Tasks	On Day 2, housemates started their first weekly shopping task: 'Find Your Other Half'. In this task, housemates had to find the housemate that they would most like to be stranded on a deserted island with and find out as much information as possible about them. Drew and Jade were automatically paired up together as a 'Married Couple'. Halfway House housemates were allowed to enter the Safe House to take part in this task. On Day 3, housemates took part in a quiz about their other half. Later that day, housemates passed the task and as a result won a luxury shopping budget of $425 for the week. On Day 3, Ben and Jasmin had to correctly predict whether certain items would float or sink when they were put in water. As they failed this task, they won basic ingredients for this week's family dinner as opposed to luxury ingredients. That same day, Heidi was given a secret task by Surly. She had to wear a shirt saying "Nominate me, I dare you." and pretend that it's her own shirt. She passed the task and as a reward, Caleb and Tahan received their clothes that had been previously removed as punishment. On Day 5, housemates took part in their first Showdown. Matthew was the winner of the Showdown and was rewarded with $5,000, the first nominations superpower, and a night in the Presidential Suite with Caleb, the housemate of his choice.
	Twists	On Day 0, before the housemates entered the house, they had to choose one of twelve keys which would decide where they would live. Half of the keys led to the Safe House; the other half led to the Halfway House. The housemates living in the Safe House were treated to luxurious accommodation and privileges, whilst those living in the Halfway House were not. On Day 1, new housemates Drew and Jade found out that they would have to pretend to be a married couple for the first week of the season. If they fooled their fellow housemates for a week then they would be immune from the first eviction, but if they were unsuccessful they would both automatically face eviction.
Week 2	Entrances	Rohan and Katie & Lucy entered the Safe House on Day 8.
	Punishments	On Day 9, as punishment for passing food over the divide, Tahan had to paint an entire bucket of black coal white.
	Tasks	On Day 9, housemates began their second weekly shopping task; 'An Ashes Test'. For this task, the garden was transformed into a cricket pitch. When instructed to do so by Big Brother, one-by-one each Safe House housemate took turns to bat for their house and protect their stumps against an automatic cricket ball bowling machine. The Halfway House housemates were required to keep a fire burning in the garden throughout. On the night of Day 9, Xavier and Tully had to become watchmen and sleep outside on the cricket pitch to watch the night through a telescope. By Day 10, housemates only lost 19 of a maximum 20 wickets, and therefore passed the task. On Day 9, Ben had to impress Big Brother in an interview to become Big Brother's personal assistant. He passed this task. On Day 10, it was Ben's first day as Big Brother's PA. On Day 10, Tahan and Rohan were given a Diary Room challenge to win luxury ingredients for the weekly family dinner. They had to answer a series of questions whilst sitting in an ice cold bath. Tahan passed the task, despite Rohan getting out of the bath within seconds of entering it. While all the housemates received a luxury family dinner later that night, Rohan was given canned chicken. On Day 12, housemates took part in their second Showdown. Ed was the winner and was rewarded with $5,000, the nominations superpower, and a night in the Presidential Suite with Sharon, the housemate of his choice. On Day 15, after the eviction, each contestant had to individually predict the future of their fellow housemates.
	Twists	On Day 7, Drew and Jade's secret task was revealed to the other housemates. However, they failed the task as everyone except Ben and Matthew did not believe they were a real married couple. Drew and Jade were therefore automatically nominated for eviction. On Day 8, as Katie & Lucy are competing as a single housemate, Big Brother told them that they have to stay within three metres of each other throughout their stay in the house. On Day 9, after the nomination results had been announced, the nominated housemates were sent to the Halfway House. On Day 10, Tahan volunteered to answer a question by Big Brother unaware that he wanted her to save a nominated housemate from eviction and replace them with someone else. She chose to swap Mikkayla with Heidi, meaning the pair swapped sides and Mikkayla no longer faced eviction.
	Nominations	On Day 7, Drew and Jade were nominated automatically to face eviction (see Twists). On Day 9, the housemates nominated for the first time. Mikkayla, Sharon, Jasmin, and Tim received the most nomination points and therefore joined Drew and Jade as the housemates nominated for eviction during this week. The nominated housemates had to move directly to the Halfway House later that day. On Day 10, Heidi was nominated for eviction following Tahan's decision to replace Mikkayla with her as the new nominee (see Twists).

	Tasks	On Day 16, housemates undertook their third weekly shopping task; 'Big Brothers Ice Cream Shop'.

On Day 17, Katie & Lucy were given a Diary Room Challenge in which they had to play a game of charades and get at least half or more of the answers correct to win a series of luxury items. However, if they failed they would receive only basic items. Katie & Lucy later passed the task. On Day 19, housemates took part in their third weekly Showdown. Tully was the winner and was rewarded with $5,000, the nominations superpower, and a night in the Presidential Suite with Tahan, the housemate of her choice.

As the winner, she was given the chance to swap one person from the Halfway House with another person from the Safe House. Mikkayla chose to save herself and replaced herself with Matthew. In doing so, Matthew became a nominee and Mikkayla was safe.

If they succeeded in their respective challenges they earned a certain number of pass or fail balls to put into a lottery, which was drawn at the end of the task. This would determine whether the housemates had passed the task or not. On Day 25, the lottery was drawn and the housemates passed the task. On Day 24, Drew and Tim participated in the game 'Our Little Secret' to try to obtain luxury food items for a seafood platter for the weekly family dinner. To keep the food they had to resist as many items as possible, and for every item that they could not resist one item of the seafood platter treat would not be achievable. At the end of this task, the seafood platter was handed to the housemates, with or without some or all of its original ingredients. On Day 24, housemates participated in the fourth weekly Showdown, of which Jade was the winner.

Nominations Table

Housemates are allowed to distribute five nomination points between their two nominations, with a maximum of four points to be allocated to one housemate. The six housemates with the most nomination points face the public vote. In the event of a tie, the housemate with the most nomination points determines how the tie will be broken. In addition, nominations are held in a sound-proof chamber inside a Nominations Room, as opposed to the Diary Room.

Nominations Super Power

The Nominations Super Power is a weekly twist to nominations. It is a special secret power given to a housemate. The Nominations Super Power gives an advantage to that housemate for nominations in that given week.

• In Week 2's nominations, Matthew was able to double a housemate's nomination points without them knowing. He chose Caleb.
• In Week 3's nominations, Ed was able to listen to 3 of his fellow housemates' nominations. He chose Drew, Tim and Xavier.
• In Week 4's nominations, Tully was shown the live tally board. She also nominated with 6 nomination points to nominate up to 6 housemates.
• In Week 5's nominations, Heidi was allowed to ask Big Brother questions about nominations as long as the answer is Yes or No. She could ask up to 9 questions, and had 6 nomination points to nominate up to 3 housemates.
• In Week 6's nominations, Matthew was given the ability to void 2 of his housemates' nominations. He chose Ben and Drew.
• In Week 7's nominations, Drew was able to predict the other housemates' nominations. For every name he predicted correctly, he earned a point to nominate with. He earned 7 out of 18 points and was able to nominate as many housemates as he wanted with those points.
• In Week 8's nominations, Ed was told that Ben (who he believed to be evicted) was in Big Brother's Headquarters and would be able to answer any questions he had about the tally board. Ed also had 6 points to nominate with.
• In Week 10's nominations, Jade was able to read three people's nominations, she was also able to shred one of these nominations. She chose to read Ben, Tahan and Tim's nominations, she then chose to shred Tim's nominations, making them void.
• In Week 11's nominations, Mikkayla was able to take 2 nominations points from two separate housemates, she could also nominate with the stolen points from the housemates and she was in the room when they nominated. She chose Tahan and Boog.

Notes

• ^Note 1 : As Drew and Jade failed their secret task during the first week, they were automatically nominated for eviction, but could still partake in the nominations process. As Katie & Lucy and Rohan were new housemates, they were exempt from nominations. Heidi and Tim were both on 10 points following nominations, and therefore the housemate with the most nomination points, Mikkayla, had to choose who she wanted in the Halfway House. She chose Tim.
• ^Note 2 : As there was a tie on 7 points between Matthew and Mikkayla, it was down to the housemate or housemates with the most nomination points to decide which of them would face eviction. Tahan and Tully chose Mikkayla. A double eviction took place on Day 22.
• ^Note 3 : Caleb, as punishment for discussing nominations, was only allowed to nominate with 3 points as 2 were automatically given to him. Caleb was initially told he would nominate two housemates with his remaining points, but was allowed to allocate them all to a single housemate upon his request. As it was a 5-way tie on 3 points, it was up to Tully, the housemate with the most points, to decide who would take the last place and who would therefore be nominated; she chose Mikkayla.
• ^Note 4 : In Week 6, Big Brother asked housemates to strategically nominate. All housemates had to nominate in the Diary Room, writing their nominations on paper and putting them in a ballot box.
• ^Note 5 : As there was a tie on 4 points between Jade and Tim, it was down to Ed, the housemate with the most nomination points, to decide which of them would face eviction. He chose Jade. This week there was a 'fake' double eviction. The person with the lowest votes to save would be evicted and the housemate with the highest votes to save would be moved to a safe location; this housemate was Ben.
• ^Note 6 : Assuming Ben had been evicted, the housemates could not nominate him, however Ben could still secretly nominate from the Presidential Suite.
• ^Note 7 : There were no nominations in Week 9. Instead, all housemates were all automatically nominated for the eviction on Day 66. The winner of this week's Showdown gained the ability to save themselves and one other housemate of their choice from eviction. New housemates Justynn and Nathan were not nominated for this eviction. Instead, they faced a special intruder eviction on Day 64.
• ^Note 8 : In Week 10, all housemates had to nominate in the Diary Room. To nominate, they filled out their nominations on the back of a picture of themselves, sealing them in an envelope and then putting them into a filing cabinet where they originally retrieved their envelope from. New Intruders Madaline and Boog were supposed to face an Intruder eviction on Day 71, but as Nathan voluntary left the Big Brother House, this eviction was cancelled, and both Boog and Madaline (the intended evictee) were saved from eviction.
• ^Note 9 : In Week 11, housemates nominated in the Diary Room. They nominated on a piece of blank paper then folded them and placed them into a small ballet box; the purpose of this was to help with this week's Nominations Super Power.
• ^Note 10 : In Week 12, nominations took place face to face, after they had already written their nominations on paper – as they had done for the past three weeks – and explained them to Big Brother. The housemates then repeated their reasoning in front of the other Housemates.
• ^Note 11 : In Week 13, housemates watched one of their family or friends in the chamber nominating with 2 of their 5 points, leaving the housemates with only 3 points to nominate one other housemate with. The eviction percentages were not revealed this week, due to the close proximity of the finale.
• ^Note 12 : There were no nominations in the final week. Instead, the public were voting to win rather than to save. The lines will freeze on Day 99 and the two housemates with the lowest votes will be evicted leaving three housemates in the final.
