  • ^Note 1:   On Day 1, the housemates had to choose whether to stand on the red side or the blue side, and that whichever side they chose would have consequences. After all housemates had entered, they were told that the one side would be housemates, whilst the other side would be “non-housemates” and would ultimately be sent into storage. The blue side were revealed as housemates, whilst the red side were non-housemate. Once in storage, both sides of the house were informed that they would compete in battles with members of the opposing side in order to switch places and gain housemate status, with those left in storage facing the public vote. On Day 2, Martha won the first battle against Ryan, ultimately gaining housemate status and chose Hanah and Rosie to move into the main house with her. Ryan was sent to storage. Segun won the second battle against Daze, and remained a housemate. Thomas won the third battle against Rosie, with the former gaining housemate status and chose Marcello and Sarah to move with him, whilst the latter moved back to storage. Daze won the final battle of endurance to secure housemate status, and chose Emma and Lily to join the house with her, leaving Baked Potato, Dean, Nathan and Ryan to face the first public vote.
  • ^Note 2:   For this week, there were two “Heads of House”. Additionally, the housemates nominated in pairs, which had been chosen by “Heads of House” Ali and Dean. The pairs were Hanah and Lily, Marcello and Khaled, Izaaz and Nathan, Martha and Segun, Sarah and Baked Potato, and Emma and Thomas.
  • ^Note 3:   On Day 23, as “Head of House”, Emma was given sole responsibility of deciding which housemates would face an instant eviction. She chose Martha, Thomas, Khaled and Ali.
  • ^Note 4: For this week’s shopping task, housemates were divided into two teams, the “Vampires” and the “Villagers”. The winning team received a luxury shopping budget and the ability to nominate, whereas the losing team received basic rations and were unable to nominate.
  • ^Note 5: On Day 28, as punishment for discussing nominations, Nathan was ineligible to become “Head of House” and was banned from nominating this week.
  • ^Note 6: On Day 34, the voting lines opened for the public to vote for the winner. On Day 36, voting was frozen and later that day, the housemate who selected the gold envelope; Segun, subsequently had to choose three housemates to enter “The Vault” alongside him; Ali, Baked Potato and Nathan. Of the three housemates chosen, Baked Potato, who received the fewest votes to win, was evicted via the back door. On Day 37, the vote to win re-opened and the two housemates with the fewest votes, Sarah and Thomas; entered “The Vault” and were evicted via the back door.
  • ^Note 7: The voting percentages reflect the overall share of the vote when the lines closed for good, and do not account for intermittent voting freezes throughout the final week. Ali won with 71.88% of the votes between her and Marcello.
