Template:Big Brother housemates Big Brother 2015, also known as Big Brother 16 and Big Brother: Timebomb, is the sixteenth series of the British reality television series Big Brother, hosted by Emma Willis and narrated by Marcus Bentley. The series launched on Channel 5 in the United Kingdom and TV3 in the Republic of Ireland on 12 May 2015, making it the earliest date a series of Big Brother has launched in the UK since the show's inception in 2000.[1][2] It is the fifth regular series and the thirteenth series of Big Brother overall to air on Channel 5, and is the first regular series to air in May since Big Brother 8 in 2007.[3] It is also the first series to air in Ireland since its move to Channel 5 in 2011.[4] On 2 February 2015, it was revealed that Willis had stepped down as a host on the show's spin-off series Big Brother's Bit on the Side, though Rylan Clark will continue.[5]

The series launched under the new contract which renewed the show for a further three years.[6] It is the first series to credit Denis O'Connor as creative director.[7]

Production

Format

The theme of the series is Timebomb, with show bosses explaining that "with Big Brother playing with the concept of time, the tasks, secret missions and twists promise to have tension, drama and intrigue. Time may be a friend or an enemy and for some it may well run out."[8] Emma Willis teased the new theme, stating that "days will turn into nights, time will stop, rewind and tasks will get turned on their heads."[9]

The official eye logo was unveiled by Channel 5 on 29 April 2015.[10] The eye has a gold metallic structure with a pulsating centre, coinciding with the theme of the series.

House

The Big Brother house was totally revamped for the new series, developing a sophisticated and sleek 'Mad Men' 60s-style theme.[8] Official house pictures were released on 5 May 2015.[11] The kitchen was gold and had a 60's vibe to it; the living room was in the centre of the house and featured a large orange circular seating area to replicate the Big Brother eye; the bedroom was situated next to the living room and had four double beds and six single beds, and there was also a large dressing room and vanity mirror with a large table; the bathroom was coated in dark wood with a rocky glass shower and large bath with an aquatic wall; the garden went for a copper look with an outdoor seating area and a large glass door which leads into the main part of the house – the pool is also considerably larger than previous series', and is situated on its own island; the garden extends up a flight of stairs to a recreational 'sky room', similar to Big Brother 14's treehouse and Big Brother 15's pod.[11]

Pictures of the diary room were unveiled on on 11 May 2015, a day before the launch of the series. The egg-shaped chair has a red leather seating, cradled by a gold exterior. The wallpaper on either side of the room each resemble a clock face to replicate the interior of the Elizabeth Tower in London.[12]

Teasers

On 29 April 2015, Channel 5 released the first trailer for the new series confirming the "Timebomb" theme and also featured the new eye logo.[13]

Sponsorship

Lucozade became the new sponsor for the show having previously sponsored the programme on Channel 4 during the tenth series.[14]

Weekly summary

The main events in the Big Brother 16 House are summarised in the table below. A typical week began with nominations, followed by the shopping task, and then the eviction of a Housemate during the live Friday episode. Evictions, tasks, and other events for a particular week are noted in order of sequence.

Week 1 Entrances
  • On Day 1, Chloe, Kieran, Simon, Jade, Joel, Cristian, Harriet, Jack, Amy & Sally, Adjoa, Nick, Danny, Sarah, Aaron and Eileen entered the House.[17]
Twists
  • On Day 1, shortly after all the Housemates entered the House, the public were able to vote in a poll on the Big Brother app who they wanted to face the first Timebomb twist. They selected Adjoa, Jack, Jade, Nick and Simon. They were then asked to randomly stand behind a Timebomb each in the garden, with every Timebomb holding different fates for the Housemates. Jack won three immunity passes to use at any time during the series; Nick was forced to nominate face-to-face during every week of nominations; Jade won a personal luxury shopping budget; Adjoa received nothing; and Simon was evicted immediately.[18]
  • On Day 4, after a public poll on the Big Brother app, Jack was told he had been voted the winner of the series. As his prize, he was offered a BMW car worth £27,000 in exchange for his place in the House. In addition, if he took the car, the overall prize fund would disappear. He decided to stay in the House.[19] Shortly afterwards, Nick was asked to make his first face-to-face nominations live.[20]
Tasks
  • On Day 2, the Housemates were split into two teams, Girls vs Boys and were asked questions by Big Brother about their fellow Housemates. To win the task, they had to correctly match the Housemates with the correct clues, and they then had to explain their answers. As both teams finished with the same score, they both received rewards.[21]
  • On Day 3, the Housemates participated in their first shopping task. They were given four activities, and were required to endure each of them for the longest time, with the target being to collectively spend an hour performing the tasks overall. They passed, and thus won a luxury shopping budget.[22]
Exits
  • On Day 1, Simon became the first Housemate to be evicted as the result of a twist.[18]
Week 2 Tasks
  • On Day 5, Eileen was set a secret mission to convince the Housemates she is feeling a particular emotion instructed by Big Brother, and tell them a back story that justifies the emotion. As she successfully passed the task, the Housemates won a party.[23]
Punishments
  • On Day 5, as punishment for discussing nominations, Nick was told that instead of attending a party won in a task, he would become a waiter attending the Housemate's every need.[24]
