Celebrity Big Brother 13

Celebrity Big Brother 13 was the thirteenth series of the British reality television series Celebrity Big Brother. The series launched on 3 January 2014 on Channel 5 and was originally meant to end after 22 days on 24 January 2014. However, it was extended due to ratings success and instead ended after 27 days on 29 January 2014, making it the longest Channel 5 series of the show (at the time, since beaten by Celebrity Big Brother 15) and the joint-longest series, along with Celebrity Big Brother 7 in 2010. It is the sixth celebrity series and the ninth series of Big Brother overall to air on the channel. Emma Willis returned to host the series, whilst Rylan Clark returned to present spin-off show Big Brother’s Bit on the Side along with Willis.

The series was won by comedian and presenter Jim Davidson, with rapper Dappy as runner-up.

Jasmine Waltz returned to the house for Celebrity Big Brother 19 as an All-Star, representing this series. She was third to be evicted.

^Note 1 : As part of the series launch twist, the group was split into pairs and handcuffed together. As the first Housemates to enter the House, Jim & Linda were allowed to free one pair from their cuffs. They chose Dappy & Liz, but they were automatically put up for eviction as a price for their instant freedom. Over the next two days, three tasks took place, with the winner of each receiving freedom and immunity from eviction. Jim & Linda won the first task, followed by Jasmine & Sam, then Lionel & Ollie. As the only two pairs not to win one of the tasks, Casey & Lee and Evander & Luisa were nominated for eviction. On Day 6, Casey & Lee were fake evicted and moved into the Bolt Hole.

^Note 2 : Whilst Casey and Lee were living in the Bolt Hole, they could not nominate or be nominated by their fellow Housemates, assuming them to be evicted and also unaware that Casey and Lee were able to see their nominations. During the live show on Day 8, the three Housemates with the most votes, Jim, Jasmine and Liz were saved. Before returning to the House, Casey and Lee were told that they had to choose which of the bottom two, either Evander or Luisa, to leave the House. They chose to evict Evander and save Luisa.

^Note 3 : On Day 10, Housemates nominated face-to-face.

^Note 4 :  Shortly after Jasmine’s eviction, the Housemates were told that they all face the next eviction, however Jasmine had the chance to save two Housemates. She chose to save Casey and Linda.

^Note 5 : Although there were no changes to the nominations process, the Housemates were shown who nominated Jim, Liz and Sam.

^Note 6 : These nominations were face-to-face. Due to Luisa’s attempts to change her nominations after all Housemates had chosen, Big Brother banned her from nominating.

^Note 7 : Following Linda’s eviction the public were voting for who they wanted to win rather than to save, and the Housemate with the fewest votes was evicted in a surprise eviction on Day 24. The voting lines then reopened for the remaining Housemates until the final.
