Ashley's Big Brother 10

**Big Brother 10**, also known as **Ashley's Big Brother 10** and **Big Brother 10: Room of Redemption**, is the tenth season of *Ashley's Big Brother*, which aired from February 20 to March 27, 2014 and lasted 36 days, the highest of any season to date. Sixteen housemates entered the house on launch night, with Jason S. emerging as the winner on finale night. The season was the first to have a housemate evicted twice during its run.

## Production

The main twist of the season was the "Room of Redemption", where evicted housemates would be given a second chance at returning to the game by competing against each other for the prize of redemption. The twist meant that the "vote to evict" format would return for one season only, in which the public would evict the housemate they want to move out of the main house and into the Redemption Room. The twist ended on Day 16 following the final redemption challenge. A new concept called "Double Week" was introduced in Week 4; this twist "doubled" certain aspects of the game, causing the *House Captain* to nominate two housemates for eviction rather than one, a minimum number of six housemates facing eviction rather than three, and two separate vetoes to be won. The season also featured the return of "reverse nominations" from *Big Brother 4*.

### Format

Each week lasts four days and comprises of four different events: the *House Captain* competition, nominations, the *Power of Veto* competition and an eviction of a housemate at the end of the week. The *House Captain* competition takes place on the second day of the week and decides which housemate would be in power for that week. This housemate is given immediate immunity from eviction for the week, and holds the responsibility of nominating one other housemate for eviction. The housemates begin nominating soon after the competition has finished; they are given 22 hours to visit the Diary Room and nominate two other housemates for eviction, and the two or more housemates who receive the most nominations face eviction alongside the Captain's nomination. Following the nominations reveal, the housemates compete in the *Power of Veto* competition, which allows the winning housemate to save one of the nominated housemates for eviction and replace them with someone of their own choice, or choose not to use it at all. Following the announcement of the final nominees, a poll opens in which the public decide which housemate should be evicted. The eviction take place on the final day of the week, and the cycle continues.

## Nominations table

### Notes

* **Note 1** : On Day 2, the housemates were informed that there would be no *House Captain* competition, and that they'd instead be "breaking the ice" by nominating face-to-face the following night. As Steven refused to vote, he received an automatic penalty vote against himself.
* **Note 2** : Week 4 was dubbed as "double week". *House Captain* Andie was required to nominate two people rather than one, with his two choices facing eviction alongside the *four* or more housemates with the most nominations, rather than two or more. The two winners of the Veto competition were kept secret from each other until the Veto ceremony. Duncan was revealed as the first winner, replacing himself with Cedric as a nominee. Cedric was revealed as the second winner, replacing himself with Tim. On Day 13, a double eviction took place, with the two evicted housemates joining Nicole in the "Room of Redemption". As Jeremy refused to vote during nominations, he received an automatic penalty vote against himself.
* **Note 3** : The "redemption" twist was revealed to the housemates shortly after Andie's eviction on Day 16, and were able to watch Andie, Nicole and Tisha compete in the final redemption challenge. Everyone was also informed that the three ex-housemates were also competing for *House Captain*, meaning non-evicted housemates were unable from receiving captaincy this week. Andie won the challenge and returned to the house with full captaincy.
* **Note 4** : This week was "reverse nominations", in which the housemates were voting for who they want to be immune from eviction this week. Ali and Tim received the most nominations and were thus free from eviction alongside *House Captain* Jason's nomination, Duncan.
* **Note 5** : This week was a double eviction week, meaning the three housemates with the most nominations faced eviction, rather than two. Following Kamani's eviction on Day 30, the vote reopened to the public between the three surviving housemates, Duncan, Jason and Jay. Duncan was evicted during a shock eviction on Day 31.
* **Note 6** : There were no nominations in the final week. Instead, on Day 32, *House Captain* Jason was asked to save one housemate from eviction, with the remaining three housemates facing a double eviction. He chose to save Tim. Rather than voting to evict, the public were voting for the housemate they wanted to become a finalist.
* **Note 7** : For the final three days, the public were voting for the housemate they wanted to *win*, rather than save.
