Ashley's Big Brother 1

**Big Brother 1**, also known as **Ashley's Big Brother 1**, is the first season of *Ashley's Big Brother*, which began on August 23, 2013 and ended a month later on September 23. Fourteen housemates entered the house on launch night, with Danny M. emerging as the winner on finale night with 48% of the public vote.

Austin, Danny and JoJo later returned to compete in *Big Brother 8: All-Stars*.

## Production

The first season introduced the main format of the *Ashley's Big Brother* game, which comprised of different elements from several different *Big Brother* franchises around the world, including a "House Captain" competition, a mixture of the *Head of Household* and *House Captain* elements from the American and Indian editions respectively, the use of the American "Power of Veto" with a slight rule change which allows the winner to save a nominated housemate and replace them with someone of their own choice, and the Dutch nominations process, in which the housemates, excluding the *House Captain*, participate in nominating two housemates for eviction, with the two or more with the most nominations facing eviction alongside the Captain's nomination.

### 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** : Rather than the housemates competing for the title of *House Captain*, the public voted for the housemate they wanted to receive captaincy.
* **Note 2** : As a result of failing to nominate, Peyton automatically received a penalty vote against herself.
* **Note 3** : As a result of failing to nominate for the second time, Peyton automatically faced eviction this week.
* **Note 4** : There were no nominations in the final week. Instead, on Day 29, *House Captain* JoJo was asked to save one housemate from eviction, with the remaining three housemates facing a double eviction. She chose to save Danny. Rather than voting to evict, the public were voting for the housemate they wanted to become a finalist.
* **Note 5** : For the final two days, the public were voting for the housemate they wanted to *win*, rather than evict.
