Big Brother 11

Big Brother 2010, also known as Big Brother 11, was the eleventh series of the British reality television series Big Brother, and the final series of the show to be broadcast by Channel 4. The show followed twenty-one contestants, known as housemates, who were isolated from the outside world for an extended period of time in a custom built House. Each week, one or more of the housemates were evicted by a public vote. The last remaining housemate, Josie Gibson, was declared the winner, winning a cash prize of £100,000 and a place as a Housemate on Ultimate Big Brother, an All Star edition of Big Brother which began immediately after the conclusion of Big Brother 2010

It launched on 9 June 2010 and ended on 24 August 2010, lasting 77 days – the shortest run since the fifth series in 2004. Davina McCall returned as presenter for the eleventh and final time. Fourteen housemates entered on launch night, with seven additional housemate being introduced in later weeks. The series was watched by an average of 3 million viewers.

Following Channel 4’s decision in 2009 not to renew their contract with Endemol to show the series, Channel 5 bought the rights to Big Brother in the United Kingdom, where it was broadcast from 18 August 2011, Big Brother was axed again on 5 November 2018.

  • ^Note 1 : As new housemates, Andrew, Keeley and Rachel could not nominate and could not be nominated by their fellow housemates. During that week, they also could not be replaced in the Save and Replace task.
  • ^Note 2 : As punishment for discussing nominations, Caoimhe was banned from nominating and Keeley’s nominations were voided. Caoimhe later walked from the house, meaning Corin, Keeley and Rachel were up for eviction. Had this not happened then Caoimhe and Rachel would have been up for eviction. The Save and Replace task was abandoned due to Keeley being injured during the task. Keeley was taken to hospital on Day 42 and Week 6’s eviction was cancelled shortly after. On Day 45 Keeley decided to recuperate further at home and not return to the House.
  • ^Note 3 : As new housemates, JJ, Jo and Laura could not nominate and could not be nominated by their fellow housemates. During that week, they also could not be replaced in the Save and Replace task. As punishment for discussing nominations, Dave was banned from nominating and automatically faced eviction, along with the two or more housemates who received the most nominations.
  • ^Note 4 : As a new housemate, Sam could not nominate and could not be nominated by his fellow housemates. During that week, he also could not be replaced in the Save and Replace task.
  • ^Note 5 : As punishment for talking about nominating Sam, Dave, John James, and Josie were banned from nominating him that week. However, they could have still replaced themselves with Sam if they had been nominated and won the Save and Replace task. Housemates nominated face-to-face in “Nasty Nominations” in the garden, in which housemates had to pour horrible substances over the two housemates they chose to nominate. As punishment for discussing nominations, Dave could not participate in the Save and Replace task.
  • ^Note 6 : On Day 66, housemates had one minute to decide together whom to give a ticket to the final. They chose Josie, therefore saving her from eviction. The rest of the housemates faced eviction. Had nominations taken place, Sam would have been banned from nominating for discussing nominations. That week, the four housemates with the most votes were evicted in no particular order.
  • ^Note 7 : For the final four days, the public were voting for who they wanted to win, rather than evict.
