It is the eleventh celebrity series and the seventeenth series of Big Brother overall to air on Channel 5.

Production

Eye logo

The official eye logo for the series was released on 8 July 2016 when it was posted online by presenter Emma Willis. The eye is the same that was used in Big Brother 17 which was split, with black on one side and white on the other with shattered, coloured glass separating them down the middle, however the logo features a star in the middle to represent the celebrity series.[6] On 15 July 2016 a revamped eye was revealed. The revamped eye is the same as the former eye, but now split into a gold half and a white half.[7]

Teasers

On 19 July 2016, a brief 4-second "eye flash" aired on Channel 5 with the series eye logo emblazoned on a suitcase.[8] On 21 July 2016, countdown adverts started airing with clues to the housemates identities, with the clues being "Beach bod",[9] "Glamour puss",[10] "National treasure",[11] and "Iconic model".

Broadcasting

On 8 July 2016, it was confirmed that the spin-off show Bit on the Side would air an additional episode on Sunday nights on 5Star.[1] Hour-long midnight live feed also returned for the series.[12]

House

On 28 July 2016, Good Morning Britain toured the house and uploaded a 30-second video to their YouTube channel containing pictures of the kitchen area, stairs, bedroom and an empty living area. The sofa was confirmed to be Emerald Green.

The staircase was changed to gold along with the diary room door and walls. In the bedroom the gold theme continued and the carpet was changed to cream colour. The pod was also changed to a golden front with a red and orange theme inside.

Summary

Day 1 Entrances
  • Biggins, Saira, Frankie, Ricky, Renee, Marnie, James, Aubrey, Bear, Katie, Lewis, Grant, Chloe, Heavy D and Samantha entered the house.
Twists
  • The housemates were thrown a silent disco whilst the public voted for which housemate they wanted to be the "Secret Boss". During the disco Biggins’ music was interrupted as Big Brother told him the public had given him the role of "Secret Boss" and he would have sole responsibility of nominations. However, the other housemates were let in on the secret and were told that this was a lie. In fact they had to receive a nomination from Biggins in order to receive immunity. Later that night, Biggins nominated Saira.
Day 2 Twists
  • Biggins nominated Lewis meaning he'd unknowingly granted him immunity.
Day 3 Twists
  • Biggins nominated Heavy D meaning he'd unknowingly granted him immunity. Biggins was then told the truth about the twist and for passing, he was also granted immunity.
Tasks
  • The Housemates played Game of Phones, in which three Housemates had to stand in front of three phoneboxes whilst the others were given a fact about one of them. The housemates then had to get in the phonebox of the housemate they believe the fact is about. An incorrect answer meant they would be gunged.
Day 4 Nominations
  • The housemates nominated for the first time. Grant and James received the most nominations, therefore they faced the first eviction.
Day 5 Tasks
  • Biggins hosted a talent show with Aubrey, Frankie and Renee as judges. Samantha won after receiving maximum points.
Punishments
  • As punishment for Bear, Biggins, James, Renee and Saira discussing nominations, the hot water and electrical appliances were switched off.
Day 6 Tasks
  • For the first shopping task, Housemates separated into Humans; Bear, Biggins, Heavy D, James, Katie, Marnie, Renee and Samantha, and Artificials; Aubrey, Chloe, Frankie, Grant, Lewis, Ricky and Saira. Each Human had an Artificial to do everything they asked. This was a head-to-head task between the Humans and Artificials with the winners receiving a luxury shopping budget and the losers receiving basic. For the first round the teams were asked a series of trivia questions. The first team to answer 7 questions with out breaking the circuit would win the round. The Artificials were declared the winners.
Punishments
  • Aubrey was given a formal and final warning after spitting in Bear's food and drink then serving them to him during the Humans vs Artificials task.[19]
Day 7 Tasks
  • For the second round of the Humans vs Artificials shopping task, the teams went head-to-head to see who could get the most emotion out of the other team. This round was declared a draw. Thus since the Artificials won the first round, they won the shopping task.
Punishments
  • Bear was given a formal warning for throwing a bottle across the garden, smashing a mirror and invading Heavy D's personal space. He was then kept in a room separate from the other housemates for the night.
Day 8 Tasks
  • Frankie was given a secret task, to bring a little bit of Hollywood to Borehamwood. He had to pretend to be in a horror film, an action film and a musical. He successfully completed this task.
Day 9 Punishments
  • Lewis was told by Big Brother that the way he and fellow Housemates were acting in their dare games could be seen as bullying or out-casting other Housemates.
  • After James discussed nominations and Bear ate some of the luxury food won by the Artificials in the shopping task, both were sent to jail.
Exits
  • Biggins was removed from the house for using offensive language.[20]
  • Grant became the first housemate to be evicted.
Twists
  • Following Grant's eviction, the Housemates had to vote for somebody to receive eternal nomination. Bear received the most votes and will therefore face every eviction in the series until he leaves.
Day 10 Nominations
  • The housemates nominated for the second eviction of the series. Heavy D, Lewis and Saira received the most nominations and faced the public vote, along with Bear who is eternally nominated.
Day 11 Tasks
  • The housemates were given a large balloon to protect on their stomach and were told that if it was still intact at the end of the task they would attend a party. In actual fact, Marnie and Saira were on a secret mission to burst the balloons of the people they wanted at the party.
Day 12 Tasks
  • Big Brother gave Samantha a talent agency for a day. She had to choose four housemates to interview. Then she had to pick one she thought would benefit most from her wisdom and be her apprentice. She chose Katie.
Day 13 Exits
  • Saira became the second housemate to be evicted.
Tasks
  • Housemates competed in a game of Nerve, where Big Brother tempted each housemate with a dare to complete. As 11 of 13 housemates were successful, they passed the task.
Nominations
  • After surviving eviction, Bear, Heavy D and Lewis each had to make a killer nomination. They chose Renee, Marnie and James respectively; and they joined eternally nominated Bear in facing eviction.
Day 14 Nominations
  • During the "Big Risk" task, Renee won the right to save herself from nomination and replace herself with another housemate. She chose Chloe.
Tasks

Day 15 Punishments
  • Aubrey was sent to jail for discussing nominations.
Day 16 Punishments
  • Lewis was sent to jail for discussing nominations.
Tasks
  • For the final part of the shopping task, the housemates were given two money bags to hold for as long as possible, exceeding a mystery time chosen by Big Brother. However, for the real task, Samantha and Ricky had already secretly predicted that Lewis would be the strongest, and so the task rested in his hands. As Lewis held the bags for longer than the set time, the housemates won a luxury budget.
Twists
  • The two housemates with the least votes; Chloe and Marnie, went head-to-head in a game of chance to determine who would be evicted. The housemates each voted for who they would like to leave, which would take up a proportion of a wheel. Chloe was evicted after the wheel landed on one of her sections.
Exits
  • Chloe became the third housemate to be evicted.
Day 17 Nominations
  • The housemates nominated for the third time, which were shown to the house. Heavy D, Lewis and Renee received the most nominations and joined eternally nominated Bear facing the public vote.
Punishments
  • Heavy D and Bear were given a warning after making other housemates feel uncomfortable and pouring oil in the garden causing health and safety concerns.
Day 18 Tasks
  • The housemates were sent back to school with Big Brother as the headmaster, Ricky and Aubrey as head boy and head girl, and Samantha and Frankie as prefects. Over the course of the day the housemates attended lessons and followed rules set by Aubrey and Ricky. Failure to follow these rules would result in punishments set by Big Brother.

  • Heavy D became the fourth housemate to be evicted.
Nominations

  • Lewis and James became the fifth and sixth housemates to be evicted.
Day 24 Tasks
  • The housemates took part in a Christmas themed task with the Elves being Aubrey, Frankie, Marnie and Renee and the Reindeer being Bear, Katie, Ricky, and Samantha.

Day 25 Nominations
  • The housemates nominated for the final time with anyone getting one nomination being up for eviction. Frankie, Katie, Marnie, Ricky and Samantha received at least one nomination therefore join eternally nominated Bear in facing eviction.

Notes

  • ^Note 1 : On Day 1, the public voted for Biggins to become the "Secret Boss", and believed he had sole control over who was nominated in the first week. However, the housemates were aware of his position, and were told that the housemates he nominates will actually receive immunity. He chose Saira on Day 1, Lewis on Day 2 and Heavy D on Day 3. For completing the task, Biggins also received immunity.
  • ^Note 2 : On Day 9, the housemates each voted for one housemate to receive 'eternal nomination'. Bear received the most votes and will face every eviction until he is either evicted or reaches the final.
  • ^Note 3 : Shortly after Saira's eviction, the three eviction survivors; Bear, Heavy D and Lewis were told they had to give a killer nomination each to decide who would face eviction. On Day 14, Renee was saved from eviction and had to replace herself with another housemate. She chose Chloe. After James and Bear were saved, the two housemates with the least votes: Chloe and Marnie, went head-to-head in a game of chance to determine who would be evicted. The housemates each voted for who they would like to leave, which would take up a proportion of a wheel. All housemates except Chloe and Bear voted to evict Chloe, with Chloe and Bear voting Marnie. James was revealed to have received the most public votes to save and given the task of spinning the wheel. Chloe was evicted after the wheel landed on one of her sections.
  • ^Note 4 : The nominations were face-to-face. This week was a double eviction.
  • ^Note 5 : The housemates were separated into two teams for the festive themed head-to-head challenges. The Elves were Aubrey, Frankie, Marnie and Renee whilst the Reindeer were Bear, Katie, Ricky and Samantha. The Elves won two nominations to give each, whilst the losing team only had one nomination to give each.
  • ^Note 6 : This week the public were voting for who they wanted to win. Bear won with 35.9% of the final vote, whilst Ricky was runner-up with 34.57%. Renee was third with 14.66%, Marnie was fourth with 5.51%, Aubrey was fifth with 4.82% and Frankie finished sixth with 3.54%, however none of these figures take into account the vote freezes between each position.[21]
