Sarah Most votes to win |
^Note 1 : On Day 1, Shaun was given a secret mission to win immunity and the power to give a killer nomination. However, he failed the task and was therefore eligible to be nominated, but still had to give a killer nomination. He chose Marissa.
^Note 2 : From Day 4 to 6, housemates competed to earn membership to the “Private Members’ Club”, where they lived a life of luxury and were immune from the first eviction. As Trisha accepted a temptation of pizza, they automatically put themself up for eviction. As Chad, Karthik and Sarah failed to gain membership by the end of Day 6, they joined Marissa and Trisha in facing eviction.
^Note 3 : Housemates competed against each other in two teams in order to win immunity. The blue team won the task, also saving Sandi and Shaun from eviction.
^Note 4 : This eviction was a double eviction.
^Note 5 : Sam and Sarah were chosen by the public to be the killers in the criminal case and, over Day 16 and 17, they had to killer nominate by “murdering” the housemate they have chosen. At the end of Day 17, detectives Brandi and Paul would have to choose which housemates they thought were the killers. If they had guessed correctly, the identified killers would face the public vote. However, they guessed incorrectly and the killers were immune.
^Note 6 : The public were voting to win rather than to save. The votes were frozen on Day 23, where the housemate with the fewest votes was evicted via the backdoor. Sarah won with 35.33% of the final vote, whilst Amelia was runner-up with 29.92%. Sam was third with 14.80%, Derek was fourth with 8.92%, with Chad finishing fifth with 5.48%, and Jemma sixth with 4.83%. Shaun was evicted on Day 23 with 0.72% of the final vote, however none of these figures take into account the vote freezes between each position.
