Big Brother 17

Big Brother 2016, also known as Big Brother 17, is the seventeenth series of the British reality television series Big Brother, hosted by Emma Willis and narrated by Marcus Bentley. The series launched on 7 June 2016 on Channel 5 in the United Kingdom and TV3 in Ireland.

Rylan Clark-Neal continued to present the spin-off show Big Brother’s Bit on the Side. It was the sixth regular series and the sixteenth series of Big Brother in total to air on Channel 5 to date.

This series was the first civilian edition to launch under the new three-year contract that was announced in March 2015 which guaranteed the show remained on Channel 5 until 2018.

On 1 July 2016, it was confirmed that the series length had been cut and that the final would air at the end of July 2016. On 13 July 2016, it was confirmed the final would air on 26 July 2016 meaning that with a series length of 50 days, Big Brother 17 is the shortest ever series of Big Brother UK to air in the sixteen years of the show.

On 26 July 2016, Jason Burrill was announced as the winner of the series with Hughie Maughan finishing as the series runner-up.

  • ^Note 1 : Throughout the first week, “The Others” targeted housemates in the Main House by nominating them for eviction. The nominated housemate would subsequently have to nominate another housemate to join them. On Day 1, The Others targeted Laura, who nominated Lateysha. On Day 2, The Others targeted Alex, who nominated Andy. On Day 3, The Others targeted Jackson, who nominated Chelsea. On Day 4, the Others had to evict two of the six nominees – they chose Alex and Jackson, unaware of the fact that they would actually move into the Other House with them. Following this, the public voted for Andrew and Ryan to take their place in the Main House, keeping the existence of the Other House a secret.
  • ^Note 2 : After entering the Main House, Andrew and Ryan were told that, in order to earn housemate status, they had to assure that one housemate of their choice were nominated for eviction by the other housemates. After Andrew was ejected, Ryan had to carry out the mission alone. The Others collectively chose Laura as their target. Ryan could not nominate and could not be nominated by the housemates, as he was a ‘new housemate’. Ryan failed the mission, and thus returned to the Other house.
  • ^Note 3 : The Main House and the Other House competed in a series of tasks in order to win immunity from eviction, and sole control over nominations. On Day 13, the Main House were revealed to have won the task, and the two houses merged.
  • ^Note 4 : This week was “Annihilation Week” where the Housemates were told that over the week there would be multiple evictions which they would be solely responsible for deciding. When the Housemate chosen was evicted, they left through the back door with no crowd or interview. Chelsea’s eviction was determined by the housemates when they took it upon themselves to use a nominations-style approach – but as these weren’t “official” nominations, they aren’t listed.
  • ^Note 5 : On Day 35, the housemates chose to give Andy immunity for the rest of the week. On Day 36, the Housemates were gathered in Big Brother’s deliberation room and were each stood in front of a button. They were told if they pressed their button they would receive £20,000 from the prize fund, but they would have to choose one of their fellow Housemates to evict. Jason pressed the button and evicted Lateysha.
  • ^Note 6 : On Day 37, the voting opened for the remaining housemates except Andy, in which the public voted to save. On Day 39 it was revealed that Laura, Ryan and Sam had received the fewest votes. Their fellow housemates then voted to evict one of the three.
  • ^Note 7 : As well as finding out who was nominated, the housemates were shown who nominated them. Jackson, Jason, Jayne and Laura received the most nominations; On Day 43 during a task, Sam was given the responsibility of saving a housemate and replacing them with someone of his choice. He chose to swap Jayne with Andy.
  • ^Note 8 : For the final week the public were voting for who they wanted to win, rather than to evict. A double eviction took place on Day 48 in which the two housemates with the fewest votes were evicted. They were Sam and Alex.
