Ashley's Big Brother 6

**Big Brother 6**, also known as **Ashley's Big Brother 6**, is the sixth season of *Ashley's Big Brother*, which began on June 10, 2014 and ended a month later on July 11. Fourteen housemates entered the house on launch night, with Jamie Z. emerging as the winner on finale night with 58.3% of the public vote.

Danielle and Jamie later returned to compete in *Big Brother 8: All-Stars*.

## Production

On launch night, the *Pass the Nominations Bomb* twist was introduced, in which the housemates each had to pass a bomb to one another for the duration of 24 hours, with the housemate holding the bomb after time ran out automatically facing eviction. As well as facing eviction, this housemate also had the ability to choose the two other housemates that would face eviction with them. On Day 15, the "Crystal Power of Veto" came into play, in which the holder was able to overthrow nominations by choosing up to two housemates to save from eviction, replacing them with their own choices. This veto was used by eventual winner Jamie on Day 18. Face-to-face nominations, a recurring twist which was first used in *Big Brother 2*.

### 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** : There were no nominations in Week 1. Instead, the housemates participated in a game of Pass the Bomb, where each housemate was required to pass a "nominations bomb" to one of their fellow housemates throughout the course of the week, with the housemate remaining with the bomb after exactly 24 hours automatically facing eviction. Jeremy, as *House Captain*, held the bomb first and was able to make the first pass. Jamie was holding the bomb by the end of the game and was asked to choose two other housemates to face eviction alongside him; he chose Eileen and Sean.

* **Note 2** : On Day 15, Jamie was given the secret mission to guess which of his fellow housemates would win the Veto competition. He successfully guessed that Ryan would win, and was awarded the *Crystal Power of Veto*, which would allow him to save two of the three nominees and replace them with his own choices.

* **Note 3** : Before nominations, John opted to give his Immunity Necklace to Danielle, meaning that any nominations cast against her this week did not count. Had the necklace not been used, Acacia and Danielle would have been nominated. John won the Veto competition on Day 18 and replaced himself with Cohen. However, Jamie overthrew him by using the *Crystal Power of Veto*, saving both himself and Cohen and instead nominating Lucy and Michael in their places.

* **Note 4** : The housemates nominated face-to-face on Day 24.

* **Note 5** : There were no nominations in the final week. Instead, *House Captain*Jamie was required to select one other housemate to be immune from the final eviction and thus receive an automatic place in the finale. He chose Cohen, therefore the remaining three housemates faced a double eviction. Rather than voting to evict, the public were voting for the housemate they wanted to become a finalist.

* **Note 6** : For the final three days, the public were voting for the housemate they wanted to *win*, rather than evict.
