Big Brother 16

Big Brother 2015, also known as Big Brother 16 and Big Brother: Timebomb, was 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 and ended on 16 July 2015, a week earlier than planned. This was the earliest launch of a Big Brother series since the show’s inception in 2000. 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. It is also the first series to air in Ireland since its move to Channel 5 in 2011. 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.

It is the first and only regular series to credit Denis O’Connor as creative director. On Day 17, Aaron Frew was ejected from the House after flashing fellow Housemate Joel Williams. It is the second series to feature returning housemates after Ultimate Big Brother with Nikki Grahame, Aisleyne Horgan Wallace, Brian Belo and Helen Wood taking part as long-term houseguests.

The series was won by Chloe Wilburn, who won the £116,100 prize fund, the largest prize money in Big Brother UK history. She also won an additional £5,000 during Cash Bomb Week.

^Note 1 : On launch night, the public voted for five housemates to participate in the series’ first Timebomb challenge, fast-forwarding to the first eviction of the series. During the challenge, 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 personal luxury, Adjoa received nothing and Simon was evicted immediately.
^Note 2 : As part of the first Timebomb twist on launch night, Nick was forced to nominate face-to-face during this week of nominations.
^Note 3 : This week the Housemates nominated face-to-face. Adjoa, Cristian, Eileen and Sarah received the most nominations. Jack was offered to give one of his immunity passes to one of the nominated housemates and he saved Cristian.
^Note 4 : As well as finding out that they were nominated, Aaron, Cristian, Eileen, Jade, Joel, and Nick were shown who nominated them. Jack declined to give one of his immunity passes to one of the nominated housemates. It was later revealed that the real nominees were the housemates who had received the fewest nominations: Amy & Sally, Chloe, Danny, Harriet, Jack, Kieran, and Sarah. Jack was offered to give one of his immunity passes to one of the nominated housemates. He saved himself. Amy & Sally, Harriet, Kieran and Sarah were evicted on Day 18, and were replaced by Harry Amelia, Marc, Sam and Simon.
^Note 5 : As new housemates, Harry Amelia, Marc, Sam and Simon were immune from the public vote this week. Two of the four new housemates, as chosen by an online poll, were solely responsible for nominating. The public chose Sam and Simon to nominate. As well as finding out that they were nominated, Eileen, Jack, and Joel were shown who nominated them. Jack, as one of the nominated housemates, was given the opportunity to use his final immunity pass. He chose to save himself from eviction.
^Note 6 : The Housemates nominated face-to-face on Day 27. This week the public voted to move a Housemate rather than to evict. The chosen Housemate would move into the ‘Timebomb Bunker’ and would be joined by three former Housemates for the upcoming Timewarp Week. The public chose to send Marc to the Bunker.
^Note 7 : This week Marc and the three former Housemates were the only Housemates able to nominate.
^Note 8 : This week is nomination tag. If a Housemate receives a nomination they are automatically put up for eviction, and will then have to choose another to join them. That Housemate then must select another, and so on. This began as Jade decided to nominate Cristian after her eviction. As the final Housemate to be nominated, Nick did not have to nominate anyone else, leaving Chloe safe from the public vote. As Time Warp Week was put on pause, Marc was immune from nominations.
^Note 9 : Aisleyne was required to nominate this week, she made her nominations face-to-face.
^Note 10 : This week was “Cash Bomb nominations”. The Housemates had to win immunity and the ability to choose one other Housemate to face eviction by pressing a button whenever the prize fund started to decrease. Joel, Danny, Cristian and Sam pressed the button and nominated Sam, Harry Amelia, Nick and Jack respectively. The nominated Housemates then had to bid money from the prize fund with the highest bidder saving themselves and being replaced by Chloe, the only eligible Housemate. Nick placed the highest bid and saved himself from eviction.
^Note 11 : After Harry Amelia’s eviction, the housemates were told that they had to evict a second housemate. The three remaining nominated housemates picked from one of three envelopes which had 1 of 3 amounts of money which would be added to the prize money in the event of the holders eviction. Jack had £1,000, Chloe had £10,000, Sam has £15,000. The house evicted Sam and £15,000 was added to the prize money.
^Note 12 : For the final week, the public were voting for the housemate they wanted to win, rather than evict. Following the first vote count, Cristian and Nick were evicted and left the house together.
