# Big Brother (British TV series) series 10

Big Brother 2009, also known as Big Brother 10, was the tenth series of the British reality television series Big Brother. The show followed a total of twenty-two contestants, 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 evicted by a public vote. The last remaining housemate, Sophie Reade, was declared the winner, winning a cash prize of £71,320.
The series launched on Channel 4 on 4 June 2009 and ended on 4 September 2009, lasting 93 days – the joint-second longest British edition of Big Brother to date (together with the seventh and ninth series, and one day shorter than the eighth series). Davina McCall returned as presenter for her tenth consecutive year. Sixteen housemates entered on launch night, with an additional six being introduced in later weeks.
Big Brother 10 was watched by an average of 2.5 million viewers. It was the lowest rated series of the show since its inception, becoming the first series to draw an average of less than 3 million, and remains the lowest rated series of Big Brother to be broadcast on Channel 4. During the series, Channel 4 announced that it would not be renewing its contract to show the series with Endemol once it expired in 2010, meaning that the subsequent eleventh series would be the last to be broadcast on Channel 4.

## Production

Big Brother 10 was produced by Brighter Pictures, a division of Endemol. This series of the programme had been confirmed since 2006 as part of a £180 million contract between Endemol and Channel 4. Phil Edgar-Jones was the creative director of the series whilst Sharon Powers was the executive producer. Open auditions for the programme, which were confirmed during the final of Celebrity Big Brother 6, began on 3 January 2009 in Edinburgh and ended on 7 February in Manchester. Internet auditioning via YouTube, which saw 2,600 apply, ended on 3 February 2009. Auditionees were subjected to three interviews with various producers, additional meetings with a psychologist and a psychiatrist and a final "talk of doom", in which they were warned about the negative impact that appearing on Big Brother could have on their lives. In the weeks preceding the series, the selected housemates were put into "hiding" with no access to the outside world. Housemates were offered aftercare from the production team for up to six months after they left the programme.

### Eye logo

The programme's logo, the Big Brother Eye, is based on a black, purple and blue thumbprint and was released on 11 May. It was designed by Daniel Eatock. From 19 May, Channel 4 began uploading teaser clips to the official Big Brother UK YouTube channel; these were also aired during commercial breaks on Channel 4 and its related channels. The series was sponsored by Lucozade Energy and the promotional break bumpers were created by M&C Saatchi and are based upon a 'little brother versus big brother' scenario. The programme began on 4 June, with a 95-minute special programme which introduced the initial 16 participants, and was broadcast on Channel 4 and E4 over a period of 93 days, concluding with the final on 4 September.

### Broadcasts

The main television coverage of Big Brother 10 was screened using daily highlights programmes, narrated by Marcus Bentley. These episodes summarised the events of the previous day in the House. Alongside these highlights shows were spin-off programmes, Big Brother's Big Mouth and Big Brother's Little Brother, that commented on fandom, cultural reaction to the events within the House and included interviews with celebrities, former housemates and family and friends of housemates. On Fridays, a live eviction programme was hosted by Davina McCall in which the evicted contestant left the house and received an interview from McCall and two guests. For 2009, BBLB returned with George Lamb presenting five weekday evening programmes and one Sunday edition per week. Big Mouth was also fronted by McCall and was broadcast on E4 on Friday nights for an hour after the main eviction programme.

#### Interview panel

In a change to normal eviction interviews this series saw McCall and the evictee on a panel joined by two celebrity fans or psychologists, joining them were:
* Sophia Judi James and Dom Joly
* Cairon Iain Lee and Vanessa Feltz
* Angel Anthea Turner
* Sree Kelly Osbourne
* Kris Mel Blatt
* Karly Judi James and Kathy Burke
* Kenneth Terry Christian
* Nóirín Judi James and Jo Whiley
* Hira Emma Kennedy and Bob Mortimer
* Freddie Judi James and John McCririck
* Bea Ulrika Jonsson
* Marcus Grace Dent
* Lisa Dave Schneider and Kim Woodburn
The panel was not used for the finale, however, Judi James made a recorded segment about each finalist. The panel format was scrapped for the following celebrity and regular series, where McCall interviewed the evictee in the traditional format.

## House

As with each series since Big Brother 2002, the programme was filmed at Elstree Studios in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire. A total of 27 editing suites, manned by over 300 members of staff, were situated in the "George Lucas Stage" to produce the programme. In the 18 May issue of Star magazine, aerial photographs of the House were published, showing the garden under construction. Official pictures of the House interior were released by Channel 4 on 1 June, showing the entrance stairway, living room and garden. The entrance stairway had images of insects on its walls whilst the garden and living room had a science fiction theme; the former included a bus stop as the designated smoking area. On 3 June, Metro published an image of the Diary Room, which has a multicoloured chair and wall pattern. There was also a shipping container-based bathroom, a sitting room with red sofas, a wood panelled kitched with purple, black and white fittings and a bedroom with splats of paint covering the walls. The house contained 44 cameras, 75 two-way mirrors and 57 fixed microphones, as well as individual microphones for each housemate.

## Format

The format remained largely unchanged from previous series. Housemates were incarcerated in the Big Brother House with no contact to and from the outside world. Each week, the housemates took part in a compulsory task that determined the amount of money they were allocated to spend on their shopping; if they passed, they received a luxury budget and they were allocated a basic budget if they failed. Housemates were instructed to nominate two fellow housemates for eviction each week. This compulsory vote was conducted in the privacy of the Diary Room and housemates were not allowed to discuss the nomination process or influence the nominations of others. On Day 68, Big Brother changed the rules to allow housemates to discuss nominations until further notice. The two or more housemates who gathered the most nominations per week faced a public vote and the housemate receiving the most votes was evicted from the House on the Friday and interviewed by Davina McCall. Housemates could voluntarily leave the House at any time and those who broke the rules could have been ejected by Big Brother.
In a change from previous series, Channel 4 announced that it would no longer donate any of its income from the premium-rate telephone lines, by which viewers vote for whom they would like to see evicted or win the programme, to charitable organisations. The broadcaster said that the current economic downturn is to blame for this decision and that the change would bring Big Brother into line with other programmes of its kind, such as The X Factor and Strictly Come Dancing. The format of the live eviction interview programme was altered for this series. Unlike previous series in which McCall interviewed evicted housemates by herself, she was instead joined by two guest panellists to "interrogate" the evictee. Panellists included former housemates, journalists, psychologists, and fans of the programme. A new rule was added to the programme at the start of the series; "fake romances" were not permitted.

Over the next three days, the non-housemates would face a series of tasks, with those completing it earning housemate status and full access to the house. All non-housemates were to wear a special uniform to designate their status and had to wear it at all times. Any housemate who did not succeed at these tasks would face a public vote on Day 4, with viewers deciding on who would become a housemate; the person with the fewest votes would be unceremoniously evicted. |

| Week 7 | Tasks | As a conclusion to the 10th anniversary celebrations that took place last week, Big Brother treated the housemates to a party on Day 45. Housemates took part in a Greek-themed shopping task with a twist, which involved learning choreography by Stavros Flatley—a dance duo featured on Britain's Got Talent—running a kebab shop, learning the movements of the Greek presidential guards, and portraying Greek gods. However, playing Zeus, Halfwit was the only housemate aware of the true nature of the shopping task.

| Week 8 |
| Week 8 | Entrances | On Day 56, Isaac entered the house. |
| Week 8 | Tasks | On Day 53, housemates took part in a quiz to win items for a party later that day.

For the shopping task, the housemates split into two groups, creating human puppets with one housemate providing the head and feet and another providing the arms, and making them dance to music by Girls Aloud and Take That. Visitors to the Big Brother web site decided by voting that the housemates had failed the task. |

The shopping task was based on Lewis Carroll's Victorian children's novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in which Hira, in the role of Alice, having first been "shrunk" in the Diary Room, spent more than five hours searching for a key buried inside a giant cupcake using only her face. The housemates passed the task and received a luxury shopping budget. |
| Week 9 | Nominations | The housemates nominated for the ninth time. Bea, David and Marcus received the most nominations and faced the public vote. |
| Week 9 | Punishments | As punishment for Marcus attempting to influence nominations and for Siavash refusing to nominate, Big Brother voided all nominations this week, and all housemates instead faced the public vote. Housemates were unaware that the public would instead be voting to save, not evict. |
| Week 9 | Exits | On Day 65, Hira was evicted from the house, receiving 5.7% of the public vote to save. |
| Week 10 |
| Week 10 | Tasks | The housemates took part in a "Best of British" shopping task in which they had to bog snorkel, play the bagpipes and convince Rodrigo he had met the Queen, who was in fact the impersonator Janette Charles. Housemates won £240 for the shopping budget. Furthermore, as a reward for passing, housemate received letters from home, and each housemate won a personalized prize. These included: Rodrigo winning a personal letter and teacup from Buckingham Palace; Marcus being given one hour to recreate his housemate profile photo, as well as fan mail which he would reply to with a signed copy of his new profile photo; Charlie receiving 30 minutes of Girls Aloud music in the Diary Room; and Halfwit and Dogface legally changing their names back to Freddie and Sophie respectively. |
| Week 10 | Twists | Following continuous rule breaking by a number of housemates, Big Brother decided to permit the discussion of nominations until further notice. |
| Week 10 | Punishments | On Day 72, as punishment for not wearing her microphone, Big Brother sent Bea to jail. |
| Week 10 | Nominations | The housemates nominated for the tenth time. Halfwit and Marcus received the most nominations and faced the public vote. |
| Week 10 | Exits | On Day 72, Freddie was evicted from the house, receiving 53.6% of the public vote to evict. |
| Week 11 |
| Week 11 | Tasks | On Day 73, housemates participated in an alphabet-themed task, where they had name as many words as possible in 60 seconds beginning with a randomly selected letter of the alphabet. Siavash won this task, and was rewarded with a hamper of items beginning with S, the letter he randomly selected. In the House of Horrors-themed shopping task Charlie, in the role of Dr Frankenstein, played a version of the game Operation in which Bea, playing his Monster, received a shock whenever his hand faltered. Housemates passed the overall task and won a luxury shopping budget for the week. |
| Week 11 | Punishments | As punishment for refusing to nominate, Big Brother decided, without telling them, that the first two housemates that Siavash made physical contact with and the first two housemates Sophie named would be their nominations for the week. |
| Week 11 | Nominations | The housemates nominated for the eleventh time. Bea, David and Marcus received the most nominations and faced the public vote. |
| Week 11 | Exits | On Day 79, Bea was evicted from the house, receiving 88.2% of the public vote to evict. |
| Week 12 |
| Week 12 | Tasks | On Day 80, housemates took part in an oil wrestling championship. Siavash won and received a championship belt. On Day 81, housemates took part in a task where they had to brush their teeth for one minute with disgusting food items, like stinky cheese, pureed cat food, and shrimp paste. Housemates won six tokens, but lost out on a collection of their favourite music, due to Sophie failing to complete the task to Big Brother's satisfaction. On Day 82, Sophie took part in a geography quiz, identifying countries of the world on a map. She won music for Rodrigo and Charlie to be played into the house later that day. The housemates participated in a future-related shopping task during week twelve, in which Sophie and Rodrigo learned a robotic dance routine to Daft Punk's song "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger,"Lisa and David left the House with instructions to have photographs taken by members of the public in front of three London landmarks whilst dressed as aliens, Charlie was tested on his knowledge of constellations and Siavash and Marcus had to create an effigy of Big Brother with recycled materials as well as compose and perform an original song. All housemates had to also ensure a light bulb was continuously illuminated by pedalling a stationary bicycle for about seven hours. Housemates passed all aspects of the tasks and won a luxury shopping budget. During the shopping task on Day 83, Big Brother tasked Charlie, Siavash, Marcus, Rodrigo and Sophie to be entertaining, after finding them boring. They then decided to attempt to escape the house. As housemates succeeded in their task, but breached rules to do so, housemates were not given a reward. Housemates were given the chance over the next ten days to win back money to the prize fund. On Day 85, housemates won a £20 cheque after requesting a mystery prize from the weekly shopping list. However, Marcus rejected a £15,000 offer to cut off his ponytail, and the group rejected a £1,500 offer to swim 1,500 lengths of the pool. On Day 85, Siavash accepted an offer of £10,000 towards the prize fund for exchanging all his clothes with an outfit provided by Big Brother, that he had to wear until he left the house, and the amount would then be added to the prize fund. As Siavash finished runner-up and left the house in the outfit given to him by Big Brother, £10,000 was added to the prize fund during the live final show. On Day 86, Rodrigo won £6,000 out of a possible £10,000 towards the prize fund by correctly guessing the regional locations of three animals after listening to a series of sound effects. |
| Week 12 | Punishments | As punishment for refusing to nominate, Big Brother allocated Siavash's nominations to Sophie and Charlie, two housemates randomly chosen to receive votes on behalf of anyone attempting to disrupt the nominations. Whilst Lisa and David were away from the house for their task, the remaining housemates attempted to break out of the house. Big Brother punished them by depleting the prize fund from £100,000 to £0, and let them know they had opportunities to win back the money over the course of the next few days. |
| Week 12 | Nominations | The housemates nominated for the twelfth time. Marcus and Siavash received the most nominations and faced the public vote. |
| Week 12 | Exits | On Day 86, Marcus was evicted from the house, receiving 64% of the vote to evict. |
| Week 13 |
| Week 13 | Tasks | The housemates continued attempting tasks to win back money to the prize fund. On Day 87, housemates took in a "task with no name", where the housemates had four hours to solve several challenges and puzzles in the task room. They were unaware that these were mere diversions. The real task was to leave the room within four hours. They passed and successfully won £10,000 to the prize fund. On Day 88, Big Brother showed the housemates a video compilation of their previous nominations, and set them a quiz on what they had seen in order to add money to the prize fund. The group answered 53 of the 60 questions correctly, gaining £5,300 to the prize fund. On Day 91, Charlie, Rodrigo, Siavash and Sophie were instructed to rank themselves in different categories. David, who was isolated in the diary room, had to answer questions based on their answers. David answered 4 of the 10 questions correctly, gaining £40,000 to the prize fund. On Day 89, the housemates were shown the episode of Big Brother which documented Day 50 in the House and were told to re-enact it over a five-hour period. They passed this task, earning a luxury shopping budget. On Day 90, the housemates had to replicate the music video of "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)", a song by Beyoncé, in order to win a screening of the task they filmed yesterday. The group were successful, with David portraying Knowles, and were therefore rewarded with a screening of the task later that day, after the eviction. |
| Week 13 | Nominations | On Day 88, the housemates nominated for thirteenth and final time. Big Brother warned housemates that anyone refusing to nominate would automatically face the public vote. Charlie, Siavash and Sophie refused to nominated, and Lisa, David and Rodrigo each received one nomination vote. As a result, all housemates faced the public vote. |
| Week 13 | Exits | On Day 90, Lisa was evicted from the house, receiving 68.6% of the public vote to evict. On Day 93, Rodrigo left the house in fifth place, Charlie left the house in fourth place and David left the house in third place. It was then revealed that Sophie was the winner, leaving Siavash as the runner-up. |
