Series chronology

The series launched on Channel 4 on 4 June 2009 and ended on 4 September 2009, lasting 93 days – the joint-second longest British edition of Big Brother to date (together with the seventh and ninth series, and one day shorter than the eighth series). Davina McCall returned as presenter for her tenth consecutive year. Sixteen housemates entered on launch night, with an additional six being introduced in later weeks.

Big Brother 10 was watched by an average of 2.5 million viewers. It was the lowest rated series of the show since its inception, becoming the first series to draw an average of less than 3 million, and remains the lowest rated series of Big Brother to be broadcast on Channel 4. During the series, Channel 4 announced that it would not be renewing its contract to show the series with Endemol once it expired in 2010, meaning that the subsequent eleventh series would be the last to be broadcast on Channel 4.

Production
This series was filmed at Elstree Studios.

Big Brother 10 was produced by Brighter Pictures, a division of Endemol.[1] This series of the programme had been confirmed since 2006 as part of a £180 million contract between Endemol and Channel 4.[2] Phil Edgar-Jones was the creative director of the series whilst Sharon Powers was the executive producer.[3][4] Open auditions for the programme, which were confirmed during the final of Celebrity Big Brother 6, began on 3 January 2009 in Edinburgh and ended on 7 February in Manchester.[5] Internet auditioning via YouTube, which saw 2,600 apply, ended on 3 February 2009.[1][6] Auditionees were subjected to three interviews with various producers, additional meetings with a psychologist and a psychiatrist and a final "talk of doom", in which they were warned about the negative impact that appearing on Big Brother could have on their lives.[3] In the weeks preceding the series, the selected housemates were put into "hiding" with no access to the outside world.[4] Housemates were offered aftercare from the production team for up to six months after they left the programme.[3]

The programme's logo, the Big Brother Eye, is based on a black, purple and blue thumbprint and was released on 11 May.[7] It was designed by Daniel Eatock.[8] From 19 May, Channel 4 began uploading teaser clips to the official Big Brother UK YouTube channel; these were also aired during commercial breaks on Channel 4 and its related channels.[9] The series was sponsored by Lucozade Energy and the promotional break bumpers were created by M&C Saatchi and are based upon a 'little brother versus big brother' scenario.[10] The programme began on 4 June, with a 95-minute special programme which introduced the initial 16 participants, and was broadcast on Channel 4 and E4 over a period of 93 days, concluding with the final on 4 September.[1][11][12]

Broadcasts

The main television coverage of Big Brother 10 was screened using daily highlights programmes, narrated by Marcus Bentley.[13] These episodes summarised the events of the previous day in the House. Alongside these highlights shows were spin-off programmes, Big Brother's Big Mouth and Big Brother's Little Brother, that commented on fandom, cultural reaction to the events within the House and included interviews with celebrities, former housemates and family and friends of housemates. On Fridays, a live eviction programme was hosted by Davina McCall in which the evicted contestant left the house and received an interview from McCall and two guests. For 2009, BBLB returned with George Lamb presenting five weekday evening programmes and one Sunday edition per week. Big Mouth was also fronted by McCall and was broadcast on E4 on Friday nights for an hour after the main eviction programme.[14]

Interview panel

In a change to normal eviction interviews this series saw McCall and the evictee on a panel joined by two celebrity fans or psychologists, joining them were:

The panel was not used for the finale, however, Judi James made a recorded segment about each finalist. The panel format was scrapped for the following celebrity and regular series, where McCall interviewed the evictee in the traditional format.

House

As with each series since Big Brother 2002, the programme was filmed at Elstree Studios in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire.[11] A total of 27 editing suites, manned by over 300 members of staff, were situated in the "George Lucas Stage" to produce the programme.[11] In the 18 May issue of Star magazine, aerial photographs of the House were published, showing the garden under construction.[15] Official pictures of the House interior were released by Channel 4 on 1 June, showing the entrance stairway, living room and garden.[16] The entrance stairway had images of insects on its walls whilst the garden and living room had a science fiction theme; the former included a bus stop as the designated smoking area.[17] On 3 June, Metro published an image of the Diary Room, which has a multicoloured chair and wall pattern.[18] There was also a shipping container-based bathroom, a sitting room with red sofas, a wood panelled kitched with purple, black and white fittings and a bedroom with splats of paint covering the walls.[12] The house contained 44 cameras, 75 two-way mirrors and 57 fixed microphones, as well as individual microphones for each housemate.[11]

Format
After a housemate was evicted, they were subject to an interview with Davina McCall.

The format remained largely unchanged from previous series. Housemates were incarcerated in the Big Brother House with no contact to and from the outside world. Each week, the housemates took part in a compulsory task that determined the amount of money they were allocated to spend on their shopping; if they passed, they received a luxury budget and they were allocated a basic budget if they failed. Housemates were instructed to nominate two fellow housemates for eviction each week. This compulsory vote was conducted in the privacy of the Diary Room and housemates were not allowed to discuss the nomination process or influence the nominations of others. On Day 68, Big Brother changed the rules to allow housemates to discuss nominations until further notice. The two or more housemates who gathered the most nominations per week faced a public vote and the housemate receiving the most votes was evicted from the House on the Friday and interviewed by Davina McCall. Housemates could voluntarily leave the House at any time and those who broke the rules could have been ejected by Big Brother.[19][20]

In a change from previous series, Channel 4 announced that it would no longer donate any of its income from the premium-rate telephone lines, by which viewers vote for whom they would like to see evicted or win the programme, to charitable organisations.[21] The broadcaster said that the current economic downturn is to blame for this decision and that the change would bring Big Brother into line with other programmes of its kind, such as The X Factor and Strictly Come Dancing.[21] The format of the live eviction interview programme was altered for this series.[22] Unlike previous series in which McCall interviewed evicted housemates by herself, she was instead joined by two guest panellists to "interrogate" the evictee.[23] Panellists included former housemates, journalists, psychologists, and fans of the programme.[23] A new rule was added to the programme at the start of the series; "fake romances" were not permitted.[24]

Housemates

Big Brother 10 saw 22 contestants competing to win. Sixteen participants entered the House on Day 1 and an additional five housemates entered the House on Day 44, followed by one other on Day 56.[25]

Summary

Each week in the Big Brother House is summarised in the table on the main page. A typical week begins with the nominations, shopping task, and ends with the eviction of a Housemate during the following Friday's episode. Evictions, tasks, and other noteworthy events for a particular week are noted. Some of the events listed may not be in order of sequence.

Tasks

Twists
  • As part of his birthday celebrations, Big Brother presented Halfwit with the "Gift of Normality," in which he could keep for himself or give to Noirin or Dogface. Halfwit chose Noirin, freeing her from the obligation to draw a moustache and glasses on her face every day.[75]

Week 7
Tasks & Events
  • As a conclusion to the 10th anniversary celebrations that took place last week, Big Brother treated the housemates to a party on Day 45.
  • Housemates took part in a Greek-themed shopping task with a twist,[87] which involved learning choreography by Stavros Flatley -- a dance duo featured on Britain's Got Talent[88] -- running a kebab shop, learning the movements of the Greek presidential guards, and portraying Greek gods. However, playing Zeus, Halfwit was the only housemate aware of the true nature of the shopping task. In each of three challenges he had to ensure, while still keeping the secret, that his chosen champion defeated the appropriate Greek god.[89] As he failed, housemates received a basic shopping budget.
Nominations
  • The housemates nominated for the seventh time. Charlie and Lisa received the most nominations. However, as Bea, David, Hira, Kenneth and Tom failed in their secret mission in ensuring Halfwit and Noirin received the most nominations, they faced eviction.

  • On Day 51, as punishment for discussing nominations, Big Brother sent Tom to jail.
Week 8
Tasks
  • On Day 53, housemates took part in a quiz to win items for a party later that day. They also won four tokens, but forfeited them due to Marcus calling Big Brother a wanker and destroying the task props.
  • For the shopping task, the housemates split into two groups, creating human puppets with one housemate providing the head and feet and another providing the arms, and making them dance to music by Girls Aloud and Take That. Visitors to the Big Brother web site decided by voting that the housemates had failed the task.[91]

Week 9
Tasks
  • On Day 59, housemates held a talent competition, and voted on who they thought was most and least entertaining. Hira and Dogface won these awards respectively.
  • The shopping task was based on Lewis Carroll's Victorian children's novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in which Hira, in the role of Alice, having first been "shrunk" in the Diary Room, spent more than five hours searching for a key buried inside a giant cupcake using only her face.[94] The housemates passed the task and received a luxury shopping budget.[95]
Nominations
  • Housemates nominated for the ninth time. Bea and Marcus received the most votes.
Punishments
  • As punishment for Marcus attempting to influence nominations and for Siavash refusing to nominate, Big Brother voided all nominations this week, and all housemates instead faced the public vote.[96] Housemates were unaware that the public would instead be voting to save, not evict.
Exits
  • On Day 65, Hira became the ninth person to be evicted from the house, with 5.7% of the vote to save.
Week 10

  • In the House of Horrors-themed shopping task Charlie, in the role of Dr Frankenstein, played a version of the game Operation in which Bea, playing his Monster, received a shock whenever his hand faltered.[101] Housemates passed the overall task and won a luxury shopping budget for the week.
Nominations
  • Housemates nominated for the eleventh time. Bea and Marcus received the most votes.

  • Whilst Lisa and David were away from the house for their task, the remaining housemates attempted to break out of the house. Big Brother punished them by depleting the prize fund from £100,000 to £0, and let them know they had opportunities to win back the money over the course of the next few days.[104]
Nominations
  • Housemates nominated for the twelfth time. Marcus and Siavash received the most votes and faced the public vote.
Tasks
  • On Day 80, housemates took part in an oil wrestling championship. Siavash won and received a championship belt.
  • On Day 81, housemates took part in a task where they had to brush their teeth for one minute with disgusting food items, like stinky cheese, pureed cat food, and shrimp paste. Housemates won six tokens, but lost out on a collection of their favourite music, due to Sophie failing to complete the task to Big Brother's satisfaction.
  • On Day 82, Sophie took part in a geography quiz, identifying countries of the world on a map. She won music for Rodrigo and Charlie to be played into the house later that day.
  • The housemates participated in a future-related shopping task during week twelve, in which Sophie and Rodrigo learned a robotic dance routine to Daft Punk's song "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger,"Lisa and David left the House with instructions to have photographs taken by members of the public in front of three London landmarks whilst dressed as aliens, Charlie was tested on his knowledge of constellations and Siavash and Marcus had to create an effigy of Big Brother with recycled materials as well as compose and perform an original song. All housemates had to also ensure a light bulb was continuously illuminated by pedalling a stationary bicycle for about seven hours.[105] Housemates passed all aspects of the tasks and won a luxury shopping budget.
  • During the shopping task on Day 83, Big Brother tasked Charlie, Siavash, Marcus, Rodrigo and Sophie to be entertaining, after finding them boring. They then decided to attempt to escape the house. As housemates succeeded in their task, but breached rules to do so, housemates were not given a reward.
  • Housemates were given the chance over the next ten days to win back money to the prize fund. The following table lists tasks that were done during Week 12 only:
Exits
  • On Day 86, Marcus became the twelfth person evicted from the house, with 64% of the vote.[108]
Week 13
Tasks
  • Housemates continued attempting tasks to win back money to the prize fund:
  • On Day 89, the housemates were shown the episode of Big Brother which documented Day 50 in the House and were told to re-enact it over a five-hour period.[112] They passed this task, earning a luxury shopping budget.[113]
  • On Day 90, the housemates had to replicate the music video of "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)", a song by Beyoncé, in order to win a screening of the task they filmed yesterday.[114] The group were successful, with David portraying Knowles, and were therefore rewarded with a screening of the task later that day, after the eviction.[115][116]
Nominations
  • A final round of nominations took place on Day 88. Big Brother warned housemates that anyone refusing to nominate would automatically face the public vote. Charlie, Siavash and Sophie refused to nominated, and Lisa, David and Rodrigo each received one nomination vote. As a result, all housemates faced eviction.[117]

  • On Day 90, Lisa was the thirteenth person to be evicted from the house, with 68.6% of the vote.[118]
  • On Day 93 (the final), Rodrigo finished in 5th place with 11% of the five-way vote. Charlie finished 4th with 13.2% of the five-way vote. David finished 3rd with 19.0% of the three-way vote.

Notes

  • ^Note 1 : As they did not achieve housemate status by successfully completing a challenge, Angel, Beinazir, Marcus, Siavash, Sophia and Sree faced a public vote on Day 4 to decide which five remaining non-housemates would be given housemate status. Beinazir received the fewest votes and was therefore evicted.
  • ^Note 2 : Siavash, playing King Henry VIII in the week's shopping task, was called upon to ban one housemate from nominating and to grant another immunity. He chose Charlie and Marcus respectively.
  • ^Note 3 : As punishment for discussing nominations, Charlie, Dogface and Kris had to remain silent for several hours or they would automatically face eviction. All three failed this task and automatically faced eviction.
  • ^Note 4 : As punishment for discussing nominations, Dogface and Siavash were told not to swear for several hours or they would automatically face eviction. They failed to do so and therefore automatically faced eviction. As this took place before nominations, they were ineligible to be nominated by their fellow housemates.
  • ^Note 5 : As new housemates, Bea, David, Hira, Kenneth and Tom could not nominate and could not be nominated by their fellow housemates. However, they were set a secret mission, in which they had to get Halfwit and Noirin (who were randomly chosen by Hira) nominated for eviction by the other housemates. Failure meant automatically facing the public vote. Charlie and Lisa received the most nominations, therefore the new housemates failed their mission and faced eviction themselves. As punishment for discussing nominations, Charlie, Dogface (who also failed to nominate the required two people for eviction this week), Halfwit, Marcus, Noirin and Siavash also faced the public vote and Big Brother voided all nominations. Therefore, Lisa and Rodrigo were the only two housemates not to face eviction this week. The eviction was later cancelled due to Kenneth walking from the house. During the time the lines were available to vote, Kenneth had received the most votes.
  • ^Note 6 : Bea and Marcus received the most nominations, however Big Brother declared the result void due to Marcus attempting to influence his fellow housemates on several occasions and Siavash refusing to nominate. As punishment, all housemates faced the public vote. Unlike previous weeks, this week was a vote to save.
  • ^Note 7 : On Day 72, Big Brother announced to Halfwit and Dogface that they would revert their names back by deed poll to Freddie and Sophie respectively. As he was evicted on the evening of that same day, the table lists Freddie and not Halfwit as the tenth person to be evicted.
  • ^Note 8 : Siavash and Sophie both refused to nominate. As punishment Big Brother decided, without telling them, that the first two housemates with whom Siavash made physical contact and the first two that Sophie named after leaving the Diary Room would be deemed to be their nominations. Siavash touched Bea and Sophie, and Sophie named Rodrigo and Bea. Therefore, Bea received an additional two nominations and Sophie and Rodrigo each received one extra nomination.
  • ^Note 9 : As a warning to anyone considering to disrupt the nominations process this week, Big Brother chose Charlie and Sophie at random and announced to the House that they would each automatically receive one nomination from anyone refusing to nominate.
  • ^Note 10 : Any housemate who refused to nominate this week was automatically put up for eviction.
  • ^Note 11 : There were no nominations after Lisa's eviction on Day 90. The public voted for whom they wanted to win, rather than evict.

Tenth year commemorations

Additional programming

Three special, one-off programmes aired on E4 before the launch to commemorate ten years of the programme. The first of which, entitled Jade: As Seen On TV aired on 26 May and commented on the life of Big Brother 2002 contestant Jade Goody and the infamy that surrounded her.[125] The most successful Big Brother housemate worldwide, Goody died of cervical cancer two months before the programme aired.[125] The programme was watched by 305,000 people; 1.8% of the TV audience.[126]

Big Brother's Big Quiz, hosted by Davina McCall, aired on 29 May and featured celebrity team captains singer Jamelia, TV presenter and Celebrity Big Brother winner Ulrika Jonsson and comedians Danny Wallace and Jack Whitehall.[127] It also featured former Big Brother housemates such as Craig Phillips and Sam and Amanda Marchant.[127]

Big Brother: A Decade in the Headlines was transmitted on 30 May and looked back at the social, political and cultural changes that Big Brother had made to society since it began.[128] The documentary was hosted by Grace Dent and featured participation from Mark Frith, Carole Malone, Oona King, Peter Tatchell, Krishnan Guru-Murthy and Ian Hyland.[128][129][130]

Spin-off programme Big Brother's Little Brother featured new competitions and features to mark the event. The first, The George Lamb Quiz of the Decade, was launched on 7 June. The participants had to show their knowledge of the programme by participating in a quiz relating to every series of Big Brother.[131] Another competition was established as part of the Greek-themed task in week eight. Here, male Big Brother's Little Brother viewers were asked to apply to become a date for Bea Hammill, who was playing the role of Aphrodite.[132] The contestant chosen was Robin from Bristol.[133] The programme also offered a viewer the chance to become Big Brother and talk to the housemates via the Diary Room on the final day of the programme; this was won by Simon "Jobby" Jobson, a 22-year-old DJ from Alnwick, Northumberland.[134] Former housemates, such as Nadia Almada and Rachel Rice, also appeared as guests to mark the occasion.[135]

Week seven shopping task
Nikki Grahame was one of the former Big Brother housemates who participated in a commemorative shopping task.

The shopping task for week seven saw housemates from the previous nine series temporarily return, as current housemates competed against them in a series of "classic" tasks.[136] Former housemates were not paid; a donation was made to Jade Goody's trust fund instead.[136] Phillips was drafted in after "Nasty" Nick Bateman withdrew.[136] Later that day, Lisa competed in a task to build a sugar cube tower alongside Dean O'Loughlin of series two.[137] Day 41 saw Alex Sibley, Sophie Pritchard and Lee Davey from the programme's third edition compete in a re-creation of the egg and spoon race task with Rodrigo trying to predict the outcome.[138] Later that day, Federico Martone from series four participated in a gymkhana competition against Noirin using fake horses and Dogface and Michelle Bass both sang Pie Jesu, which featured in the wedding task of series five, with viewers deciding which performance was the best.[139][140] On Day 42, Craig Coates and Makosi Musambasi challenged Siavash to the box task from the sixth series and series seven's Nikki Grahame reenacted her silent disco task alongside Karly.[141] The task drew to a close on Day 43 when Rex Newmark from the previous series returned to participate in the electric shock task with Marcus, in which the rest of housemates were subjected to shocks.[142] The housemates failed to pass the required minimum of seven of the nine challenges and therefore failed the overall task.[87]

Reception
Craig Phillips, winner of the first series of Big Brother, defended this edition of the programme from its critics.

In comparison with other contemporary reality television programmes and previous editions of Big Brother, this series has received lower viewing figures and less press coverage.[143][144] Bookmakers have also reported that this series has attracted the lowest amount of bets placed for any reality programme in the last decade.[145] Four weeks before the programme began, former chat show presenter Michael Parkinson was critical of the programme; "I object to the exploitation of the underclass in shows like Big Brother. It is the modern version of Bedlam, where you pay to see the poor benighted people making asses of themselves".[146] Charlie Brooker of The Guardian said that the series contained forgettable participants and that the producers were alienating the viewers with confusing tasks that seemed to take place "every four minutes".[147][148] Simmy Richman of The Independent wrote that the programme had become predictable after ten editions and that it had a "here-we-go-again feel".[149] They also complained that the format had become clichéd and the housemates stereotypical, and they criticised the producers for enrolling participants who were using the programme as "a springboard to a Heat magazine cover and temporary free entry to dodgy nightclubs".[149] Maggie Brown, writing in her book A Licence to be Different — The Story of Channel 4, believed that the programme limited its broadcaster as the cost to produce the programme were not justified by the number of viewers it attracted.[150] Mark Lawson, also writing in The Guardian, suggested that the lack of viewers linked with a tired format and minimal press coverage, claiming that the newspapers had become preoccupied with stories such as the outbreak of swine flu, death of Michael Jackson and MPs' expenses scandal.[151] Lawson also believed that the death of Big Brother 2002 participant Jade Goody prior to the launch of Big Brother 2009 contributed to the low viewing figures.[151] Journalist James Donaghy branded the programme a "sorry atrocity" and celebrity gossip blogger Darryn Lyons said that the series had been "massively disappointing", pinpointing Isaac Stout's entrance as a "desperate stunt" to attract viewers.[152][153] Despite returning to the House to participate in a task, former housemate Dean O'Loughlin has also been critical of this series, describing it as "way too superficial".[154]

However, the series has also received praise from various parties. For example, Gerard Gilbert of The Independent argued that in comparison to contemporary TV dramas, Big Brother provides much more entertainment, psychological depth and social impact.[155] Gilbert also commented that the storylines of the programme were equal to that of the works of Samuel Beckett.[155] Craig Phillips, the winner of the first series of Big Brother, and the programme's presenter Davina McCall have responded to the criticisms of the programme's decreasing viewing figures, respectively arguing that the programme achieves low numbers due to the different way in which viewers can watch the programme and that the programme is achieving well considering its timeslot and broadcaster.[156][157] Brian Dowling, who won the second edition of Big Brother in 2001, defended both the programme and the reality genre as a whole, telling BBC Breakfast that producers were simply providing viewers what they want, such as extreme participants.[158] The Guardian's Heidi Stephens also complimented the series by claiming that it has "seen the emergence of some truly fascinating personalities" and welcomed the return to the basic format of the programme.[159] Stephens went on to compare the storylines and characters of the programme with that of a John Hughes film.[159] Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace, who came third in the seventh series, and Big Brother 2003 winner Cameron Stout praised the selection of housemates, both claiming that the quality of the programme had improved on previous years.[160][161] Entertainment website Digital Spy was also complimentary of the series, naming Sophie "Dogface" Reade and Kris Donnelly as two of the sexiest housemates of the past ten years and Angel McKenzie as one of the most outrageous.[162][163][164] Towards the end of the programme's airing, Neil Boom of The Independent argued that the series is "one of the best ever" despite a decline in the number of viewers. He claimed that there was still high interest on internet forums and that the lower television ratings might be due to the removal of the 24-hour live feed. He praised the selection of housemates and highlighted Siavash, Freddie and Marcus as particular examples.[165] Following the end of the series, Davina McCall also considered Big Brother 10 to be "Big Brother at its best."[166]
