## Nominations

* In Week 1, all housemates were individually asked in the Diary Room to send one housemate an invitation to a party. Those who didn't recieve invitations were not allowed to nomination for eviction.

## House Design

Designed to be given a 'Back to Basics' feel as it was the reintroduction series, the house was decorated with a tongue in cheek mod style with many odes to classic British motifs. The main area was given emergency sign symbols. The kitchen was given a 'chicken' theme with wallpaper of raw chicken breasts plastered on the wall, as well as feathers on the floor. The bedroom and living area feature targets, inspired by mod. The bedroom, and diary room especially prominent tartan pattern throughout. The outside area has a giant mural of cigarettes and 3 'sun beds' which are twin beds with lounge chairs printed on the duvets.

## Controversies

* Producers were accused of taking advantage of the mentally ill after housemates Janissa (who suffers from BPD) and Rex (who suffers from Bipolar) were cast. The producers rebutted this by saying that all housemates were screened properly to protect fellow housemates safety and they would step in if any harm were to occur.

* On the September 26 episode, housemate Kimi Jo was the victim of multiple slut-shaming comments, both said about her indirectly and directly.

* On Day 15, housemate Ian was ejected after sexually assaulting Svetluska in the Living Room toilet. Multiple brands took away their sponsorship deals as a result, causing the producers to announce the show would be cut short by 2 weeks due to a budget decrease.

## Critical Reception

Most viewers were not pleased with the male houseguests this series, dubbing them the "perviest" male cast of all time. This was due to Jefferey consistently flirting with Svetluska even after her making it clear she was uncomfortable with it, Ian sexually assaulting Svetluska in the living area toilet, Arjun and Oscar having a competition to see which one could woohooing a female houseguest first, Arjun and Kimi Jo woohooing after the all you can drink buffet party, and Oscar two-timing Svetluska with Kimi Jo.

With Kimi Jo quickly becoming a fan favourite at the beginning of the series, she was quickly demonized when after Rex's eviction herself and Oscar flirted and kissed in front of Oscar's love interest Svetluska minutes and he and Svetluska went exclusive. Some comments from fans include "Kimi Jo Slut" and "Conniving Kimi".

Fans became quick to appreciate the bond of Svetluska, Delilah and Joleen after Kimi Jo and Oscar's recklessness, commending Delilah and Joleen for sticking up for Svetluska by cutting off Oscar and Kimi Jo as friends, even just days after Kimi Jo and Joleen won the "Big Brother's Bestest Friends of Big Brother 1" award.
