### Features[edit]

Over the years, *Big Brother's Little Brother* has had many features introduced, from quizzes to secret cameras. The following is a list of some of the items the show has launched:

* **The George Lamb Diary Room Challenge** – A quiz and challenge feature run during *Celebrity Big Brother 6* to determine the ultimate BB Superfan. The winner gets the chance to have an access all areas tour, meet Davina, and go into the Diary room for a chat with Big Brother. The final round took place on Tuesday 20 January[*when?*] and featured the winners of the 2 semi-finals. Sonny Sleight from Canterbury was the first contestant to reach the final, eventually joined by Richard DeGottal. After first participating in a quiz which Sonny won, a 'superfan spacehopper race' took place outside the house itself. Richard pipped Sonny to the post and a chilli eating contest tie breaker took place. Richard eventually won but both contestants got the chance to meet Davina, enter the house and meet the housemates after the competition ended.

* **Little Brother's Big Answer**, formerly known as **Little Brother's Big Shout** and **BBLB Forum** – At the start of the show, viewers are invited to call, text, e-mail, and appear via webcam to give opinions on topical issues in the house. This is the final item on the show, and the discussion will usually include any celebrity guests that appear on the show. Zezi often complains about the computer not working. This feature did not reappear during series 10.

* A **Hidden Camera** section, where footage is shown from a camera hidden within an object in the house. The first of these was **Fridge Cam**, which appeared during the third Celebrity series. **Gnome Cam** followed in (BB6), where a hidden camera was placed within a garden gnome. **Queen Cam** was hidden in the eye of a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, and, most recently, **Bunny Cam** was added to a rabbit-sculptured topiary. Bunny Cam was later destroyed by BB7 housemate Glyn as he used it to climb down from the roof of the house (not on show). In BB10 a toy helicopter was flown over the house several time throughout the season and contained a hidden camera. It was known as **Heli Cam**.
* **The B-Team** – A parody of the A-Team, four ex-housemates present a video clip, in which they interview people about their thoughts of the events in the house.
