Big Brother 8

Big Brother 2007, also known as Big Brother 8, was the eighth series of the British reality television series Big Brother. The show followed twenty-three 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 eliminated from the competition and left the House. The last remaining housemate, Brian Belo, was declared the winner, winning a cash prize of £100,000 (the second housemate to do so after Liam McGough was awarded the same amount in the third week).

The series launched on Channel 4 on 30 May 2007 and ended on 31 August 2007, lasting 94 days – the longest British edition of Big Brother to date. Davina McCall returned as presenter for her eighth consecutive year. Eleven housemates entered on launch night, with an additional seven men being introduced by the time of the fourth week. The series was watched by an average of 3.9 million viewers, the lowest viewed series of the show at the time.

The first series of Big Brother to air since the highly controversial fifth celebrity series, Big Brother 8 was the subject of viewer complaints and press attention, mainly regarding the ejection of a housemate for the use of a racial slur.

to win
  • ^Note 1 : As the only male housemate, only Ziggy was eligible to nominate this week. The eviction was later cancelled due to Emily being ejected.
  • ^Note 2 : This week, new housemates Seány and Gerry were two of four housemates allowed to nominate, and together had to choose the other two housemates to nominate with them. They chose Sam and Amanda.
  • ^Note 3 : As punishment for discussing nominations, Billi and Charley’s nominations were voided by Big Brother. Had this not happened Charley and Nicky would have faced the public vote with them.
  • ^Note 4 : As part of “Fake Week”, the “evicted” housemate, Charley, was interviewed by Davina, with the interview shown on the plasma screen in the house, and then put back in the house.
  • ^Note 5 : As punishment for discussing nominations, Chanelle and Ziggy were only allowed to nominate one housemate each.
  • ^Note 6 After continuous swapping of housemates between the Main House and the Halfway House, the housemates remaining in the Halfway House automatically faced the public vote, in which there was a double eviction.
  • ^Note 7 : Amanda and Sam chose to become one housemate on Day 69. However, as a result they both automatically faced eviction. As well as finding out that they were nominated, Amy, Jonty and Kara-Louise were also able to see who nominated who.
  • ^Note 8 : For Week 11’s shopping task those who won mini-tasks gained “guru status” and were immune from eviction. All other housemates automatically faced the public vote. The Gurus had to decide from the two housemates with the highest number of votes (Carole with 49% & Gerry with 24%) whom to evict. The Gurus unanimously decided to evict Gerry.
  • ^Note 9 : In Week 12, there was a double eviction.
  • ^Note 10 : There were no nominations in the final week. The public were voting for the housemate they wanted to win, rather than evict.
