List of Sims Big Brother 1 (UK) housemates

Housemates of Sims Big Brother 1 (UK)

Abhi
Abhi, aged 27 originally from New Delhi, India, now residing in London. Abhi is a self confessed diva, believing that he wears more make-up and spends longer getting ready than most women, as "looking this good doesn't just happen". Abhi was the first housemate to enter on launch night. Abhi quickly found himself attracted to fellow housemate Alon, getting his hopes up upon learning that Alon was "bi-curious". During week 1 Abhi clashed with fellow housemate Addison over their contrasting beliefs, causing a rift between the two, although they later reconciled and became friends during their stay. Abhi would form strong bonds with Arcadia, Alon, Phoebe, Kana, Tyson and Valerie. During weeks 2-3 Abhi became irritated by Nathen and Lisa, whom he felt were causing problems within the house, particularly noting Lisa's behavior towards Arcadia, and believing that Nathen was leading on Arcadia, and that his supposed feelings towards her were contrived. On Day 21, Abhi and Steffi entered a hostile feud over Alon, both clearly having feelings towards him. Despite many trying to get both Abhi and Steffi to realize Alon was the problem, they remained at each others throats for several weeks, typically entering fights which would turn physical. During week 7, Abhi became annoyed during the "best friends task" due to Alon selecting Steffi as his best friend, leaving Abhi with Arcadia. Abhi and Arcadia failed to pass the task, meaning they would face the eviction together as a pair in a vote to save, against Alon & Steffi, Kana & Tyson and Brittany & Timothy. Abhi and Arcadia survived, receiving 26% of the votes to save. After Steffi's eviction on day 53, Abhi spent his time trying to win Alon back, having forgiven him for his flirtatious behavior with Steffi. Abhi began to lose popularity, with many feeling his obsession with Alon clouded his mind, causing him to nominate friend Arcadia over Alon on day 55, causing much of Abhi's support to slip away. On day 60 the phone lines opened to vote for a winner, before closing on day 67, where Abhi once again survived, having gained more votes then both Valerie and Tyson. During the final on day 70, Abhi finished in fourth place, gaining 15% of the vote to win.

Addison
Addison, aged 35 was the oldest constant in Sims Big Brother 1. Addison was openly arrogant, stating that he liked to cause trouble, and that his cynical outlook on life would undoubtedly cause others to despise him. Addison failed to make any friends during his stay in the house, particularly after entering in an argument with fellow housemate Abhi during week 1 due to contrasting beliefs. Addison often wound up his fellow housemates, taking pleasure in seeing them rise to his level. Addison nominated housemates who he felt were liked by the public, admitting that his game plan was to take out the threats early. During week 2 Addison openly stated that Renee, Kana and Arcadia were the big threats in the house, although Addison himself refused to nominate Arcadia, admitting that he held great respect for her. During week 3 Addison was nominated for eviction against Arcadia, Lisa and Nicholas. Addison admitted that he hoped Lisa would be evicted, citing her as a "genuinely awful individual". However, Addison would be the one evicted on day 18, receiving 37% of the vote to evict. He left the house to a booing crowd, but declared that he loved the reaction.

Alon
Alon, aged 27 was an openly "bi-curious" contestant during Sims Big Brother 1. Alon admitted that he comes across as arrogant, believing that he himself is a bit of a narcissist. Despite entering the house to boo's, Alon managed to get support while in the house, becoming one of the most polarizing contestants of the series. During week 1 Alon found himself becoming close with fellow housemate Abhi, who he knew held strong feelings towards him. Many felt that Alon was leading Abhi on, and that he was playing a cruel game, using Abhi's emotions to his own advantage. Despite this, Alon managed to reach week 4 before he first faced the public vote, going up against Arcadia, Brittany, Lisa, Nicholas and Tyson. Alon and several other housemates believed that he would be the one leaving on day 25, particularly due to the fact a major fight had broken out between Alon, Abhi and Steffi. The fight was started by Alon, who began a 'showmance' with fellow housemate Steffi, while continuing to flirt with Abhi. Despite this, Alon survived the eviction, gaining the third highest percentage to evict, falling behind both Lisa and evicted housemate Nicholas. During week 4, Alon and Nathen had a small argument within the house over Alon's treatment of Arcadia, which many perceived as bullying, with Tyson stepping in to also defend Arcadia. Alon was once again nominated during week 6, going up against rival Nathen. Alon survived the eviction on day 39, receiving only 28% of the vote, despite still receiving a poor reception from the crowd when his name was mentioned. During week 7 housemates were told that they must pair up with their "best friend" in the house. Despite their lack of communication, Abhi had asked Alon to be paired with him, but Alon declined Abhi's offer, siding with house girlfriend Steffi instead, causing more problems between the three. Alon & Steffi failed the "best friends" task, meaning they would face the eviction as a pair. Alon & Steffi survived the eviction, gaining 21% of the vote to save. During week 8, Alon was once again nominated for eviction, going against Arcadia, Steffi and Tyson. Alon was sure that he would be the one going, having received the poorest reception of the four. However, Alon narrowly survived the vote, receiving one percent lower than Steffi, who ended up being evicted. After Steffi's eviction, Alon refused to playfully flirt with Abhi, stating that it wouldn't be fair to Steffi. Despite this, Abhi continued to bother Alon, with Alon continuing to decline his advances. This gained Alon support from the public, who viewed Alon's actions as commendable. Alon survived the surprise eviction on day 67, receiving more votes than Phoebe, Tyson and Abhi to win. During the final on day 70, Alon finished as runner-up to Kana, receiving 26% to win. Alon left the house to a mixed reaction, stating he was pleased that his reception was no longer "absolutely negative". During his stay in the house Alon only ever nominated Arcadia and Tyson, whom he felt were "irritating" and "boring", believing them to be the opposite of himself. Alon now lives with Steffi, they plan to marry and have children.

Arcadia
Arcadia, aged 24 was the youngest contestant in Sims Big Brother 1. Arcadia admitted that she felt her "extremely posh voice" would count against her, as a majority of individuals in the house would be from "different worlds". Arcadia is a self confessed Tory, stating that ever since she was younger she's been a conservative, hence her love for all things blue. However, despite being conservative in her views, Arcadia admits she's quite liberal at heart, believing that you can hold conservative values while believing in equality for all. While entering the house Arcadia appeared to be outcaste early on, with many feeling her over the top gestures and "snobby voice" were too much to handle. Arcadia received four nominations on day 2, coming from Alon, Lisa, Nathen and Nicholas. Arcadia herself nominated Nicholas and Nathen, feeling that both had made rude comments towards her on launch night. Arcadia faced the first eviction against Derek, but later survived after receiving only 31% to evict. Despite feeling positive about surviving the vote, hoping that the housemates would give her the time of day, Arcadia once again found herself nominated for eviction after receiving votes from Alon, Lisa, Nicholas and Steffi. Arcadia once again survived the vote on day 11, receiving 48% to evict, while Renee received 52%. Arcadia managed to find close friends in Abhi, Kana, Tyson and Brittany early on, while the other housemates continued to ostracize her. Many began to perceive the treatment of Arcadia as bullying, particularly from Nicholas, Lisa and Alon. Arcadia was once again nominated for the next two consecutive evictions, but each time survived, watching rivals Addison and Nicholas leave before her. Arcadia began a romantic relationship with fellow housemate Nathen, which many perceived to be gameplay on his part, with Abhi particularly feeling that Nathen was using Arcadia's popularity to his advantage. During week 5, Arcadia managed to avoid nomination, receiving only two votes from Alon and Steffi. Lisa herself left Arcadia alone after seeing her friends voted out for the supposed bullying and gossiping. Despite Lisa apologizing to Arcadia, she went on to be the fifth housemate evicted, leaving to an extremely hostile reception. Arcadia began to admit that she didn't realize she'd be liked on the outside, hoping that it was for her personality, not her victim status. During week 6, Arcadia once again avoided nomination, but instead watched house boyfriend Nathen evicted. During week 7, Arcadia paired up with Abhi for the "best friends" task, which they failed, meaning they would face eviction as a pair. Arcadia & Abhi survived, receiving 26% of the vote to save. During week 8, Arcadia again found herself facing eviction, with Alon, Steffi and Phoebe nominating her. Arcadia was pleased to see Steffi evicted on day 52, having felt her treatment of Abhi was "appalling", while feeling Steffi had been "sour" towards her since the beginning. Arcadia once again faced eviction on day 60, having received votes from Alon, Kana and Abhi, with many shocked that Abhi had nominated Arcadia over the others. Arcadia once again survived the eviction, continuing to receive positive receptions from the crowd. Arcadia made it to the final on day 70 after receiving more votes to win than Phoebe, Tyson and Abhi during the surprise eviction on day 67. During the final on day 70, Arcadia finished in third place, having received 17% to win. Arcadia falling outside the top two surprised many, with the viewers believing that it was between her or Kana to win the show. Arcadia was seen as the 'victim' in the series, having been targeted by a majority of her fellow housemates, leading her to become one of the most popular housemates to ever take part in the show.

Brittany
Brittany, aged 27 found herself struggling while in the house, admitting that she found it uncomfortable being around so many other people who she didn't know. Brittany almost immediately found herself disliking fellow housemates Renee and Addison, as she felt both were keen to cause disruption within the house, something Brittany wanted to avoid. On day 2, Brittany only received a single nomination, coming from Renee. During week 2, Brittany admitted that she was struggling to get to know the other housemates, and that very few of them had made lasting impressions on her. Despite this, Brittany did find close friendships with Arcadia and Timothy. After Renee and Addison were evicted, Brittany found herself disliking two new housemates; Nicholas and Lisa. Lisa had began gossiping about Brittany behind her back, particularly to Nicholas, Phoebe and Timothy. During week 4's nominations, Brittany received three in total from Lisa, Phoebe and Kana, placing her up for eviction against Alon, Arcadia, Lisa, Nicholas and Tyson. Brittany survived the eviction on day 25, receiving very few votes cast against her. During week 5, Brittany was verbally attacked by Lisa, who claimed that Brittany was a game player, and that she was siding with Kana as she felt Kana was popular with the public. Brittany was unsure as to how she was suppose to defend herself, as in her mind she wasn't close with Kana (shown by the fact Brittany had nominated her the previous day). Brittany was once again nominated for eviction, receiving three nominations off the same individuals as the previous week. However, Brittany survived again, with nemesis Lisa being evicted. Brittany found herself optimistic after Lisa's eviction, as it meant she could once again become close with friend Timothy, who had otherwise spent a majority of his time around Lisa. Brittany received three nominations against her during week 6, coming from Phoebe, Kana and Valerie, but she remained un-nominated. During week 7, Brittany paired up with Timothy for the "best friends" task. Brittany & Timothy failed the task, meaning they faced the eviction as a pair. Due to the other three pairs containing members with larger fan bases, Brittany & Timothy were easily evicted after gaining only 14% to save. Brittany & Timothy left to a generally positive reaction, despite being branded as "boring" by many viewers.

Derek
Derek, aged 27 entered the house as a generally quiet individual, not bonding with many of his fellow housemates. On day 2, Derek found himself not getting along with fellow housemates Valerie and Nicholas, whom he felt were not making an effort to get to know him. Derek nominated Valerie and Nicholas for eviction, but received four nominations himself, gaining them from Nicholas, Valerie, Phoebe and Abhi, placing Derek up for eviction against Arcadia. Derek admitted that he wasn't too fussed about leaving, but hoped to stay in order to show everyone his real self. However, Derek didn't get this chance, as he was evicted on day 4 with 69% of the vote.

Lisa
Lisa, aged 27 entered the house to a positive reception. After entering Lisa proved herself to be a likeable person to her fellow housemates, with many finding her presence enjoyable. On day 2, Lisa received two nominations, from Tyson and Timothy, who both stated that it was due to her quiet nature. During week 2, Lisa proved herself to the house, coming out of her shell much more, being one of the most vocal individuals in the house. A majority of the housemates stated they liked the change in Lisa, but both Valerie and Abhi felt there was something she was hiding, finding her to be a "sour" individual. The publics perception of Lisa majorly changed after she began 'bitching' about fellow housemate Arcadia continuously, particularly with friend Nicholas. Lisa managed to get Phoebe and Timothy to follow herself around, stating that they would be her "groupies". Lisa was nominated for eviction in week 3 against Addison, Arcadia and Nicholas. Despite Addison being evicted, Lisa admitted she was confused as to why the crowd were booing when her name was mentioned. On day 20, Lisa caused further upset after she made a comment that her close friendship with Tyson meant she would be able to take him away from Kana if she desired him. After this, Lisa was once again nominated for eviction, this time facing Alon, Arcadia, Brittany, Nicholas and Tyson. Lisa became annoyed by Nicholas' attempts to work his way into other housemates groups, stating that he wasn't being true to himself. Lisa became the favorite to be evicted, but after Nicholas angered the public by making defamatory comments against Kana and Tyson's relationship, he overtook Lisa in the vote, with Lisa gaining 2% less then Nicholas to evict, meaning she once again had survived eviction. Now alone with few friends left in the house, Lisa decided she would reveal everyone for who they really were. Lisa entered into an argument with housemates Valerie and Brittany, stating that they were game players, and that they were only siding with Kana as they felt she was popular on the outside. Lisa then called Nathen out for being a "turncoat", in that he would go to whatever party he felt was going to carry him further. To no ones surprise, Lisa was nominated against Brittany, Nathen and Tyson. She was evicted on day 32 after gaining a staggering 76% of the vote, leaving to an extremely hostile crowd. Lisa has since been branded Sims Big Brother's "original bitch".

Nathen
Nathen, aged 28 entered the house as a self proclaimed "ladies man". Nathen received two nominations during day 2's nominations, coming from Kana and Arcadia, who felt Nathen appeared to cocky and arrogant for a "normal person". Nathen himself nominated Arcadia, stating he hated her "stuck up attitude", while also nominating Tyson, who he felt was the least interesting male. Nathen found himself becoming friendly with fellow housemate Lisa, joining her group of herself, Timothy, Pheoebe and Nicholas. After Arcadia survived the eviction on day 4, Nathen decided to spend time with her, appearing to hold some romantic feelings towards her. This soon turned into a small 'showmance' between the two, which many (including Abhi, Timothy and Nicholas) felt was for the cameras, and that Nathen was attempting to use Arcadia's popularity to his advantage. Nathen slightly removed himself from Lisa's group during week 3 after a small argument with Nicholas, stating that he would only spend time with Lisa when Nicholas (and possibly Timothy) weren't around. Nathen never fully aligned himself back with Lisa, watching both her and Nicholas get evicted consecutively. During week 6, Nathen began to dislike Alon, believing his treatment of Arcadia was "bullying", which greatly offended Alon, who claimed that he wasn't a bully. Ironically, Alon and Nathen were placed up for evicted, with Nathen receiving votes from Abhi, Kana, Timothy and Valerie. Nathen was evicted on day 39, after receiving 72% of the votes to evict, leaving the house to a generally negative reception.

Nicholas
Nicholas, aged 25 was the youngest male contestant in Sims Big Brother 1. Nicholas generally was quite passive during his stay in the house, but remained the source of much controversy. During the first few days, he found difficulty with fellow housemate Derek, who felt that Nicholas was isolating individuals. Nicholas found a friend in fellow housemate Lisa, with the two teaming up to take out other housemates, particularly setting their sights on Arcadia. Both Nicholas and Lisa would use Arcadia as a scapegoat, turning the public against them, with many perceiving their actions as bullying. Nicholas also found a friend in housemate Addison, who he spent time with, ridiculing other housemates behind their backs. During week 3, Nicholas clashed with housemate Nathen over his relationship with Arcadia, stating that it was all for the cameras, and that Nathen was using Arcadia's popularity to his advantage. Nicholas was nominated for eviction this week, gaining votes off Arcadia, Brittany, Nathen, Phoebe, Steffi and Tyson. Nicholas narrowly survived the eviction, gaining the third most votes to evict behind Lisa, while Addison was evicted. Following the eviction, Nicholas apologized to Arcadia, stating that he felt bad for the way he had treated her. Nicholas spent the week trying to gain his housemates favor, with Arcadia, Nathen and Steffi forgiving him for his actions. However, Nicholas was once again nominated for eviction, this time against Alon, Arcadia, Brittany, Lisa and Tyson. Alon, Nicholas and Lisa were all leading the poll to evict, with Nicholas generally falling behind ringleader Lisa. However, Nicholas began to slate the relationship between Kana and Tyson, causing many members of the public to send their votes his way, allowing Nicholas to be evicted with 29% of the vote.

Phoebe
Phoebe, aged 26 entered the house showing that she was a generally likeable individual, admitting that confrontation was one of her pet peeves, as differences could be dealt with in ways that didn't include shouting. Phoebe found issues with fellow housemate Renee, after Renee had branded Brittany and Phoebe "boring". Renee was the only housemate to nominate Phoebe on day 2, while receiving another nomination during week 2, again coming from Renee. After Renee's eviction, Phoebe never received another nomination for the rest of her stay. Phoebe appeared to get along well with fellow housemate Lisa, and was seen sitting with Lisa during gossiping sessions. This caused many to brand Phoebe as a follower, meaning she had little support from the public. Phoebe typically nominated Nicholas and Brittany during the early weeks of the show, seeing Nicholas as a trouble maker, and Brittany as irritating (with Phoebe often gossiping about Brittany with Lisa). After Nicholas' eviction, Phoebe found herself targeting Steffi, who she felt was causing the most confrontation in the house. After Lisa's eviction to a hostile crowd, Phoebe admitted she felt lost, contemplating leaving the show, believing that the public would treat her with the same negativity. Phoebe then spent a majority of her time in the bedroom, staying away from house affairs. During week 7, Phoebe paired up with Valerie for the "best friends" task, where she and Valerie were the only duo to win immunity from the eviction. During the final round of nominations, many were shocked to see Phoebe nominate Valerie, having been under the impression that they were close, but Phoebe herself stated that Valerie wouldn't have been her first choice for the "best friends" task. After Valerie's eviction on day 60, the lines opened to vote for the winner. After one week, Phoebe only received 1.5% to win, the lowest percentage of the final 6, meaning she was evicted three days before the final.

Renee
Renee, aged 26 entered the house admitting that she had a game plan. Renee offended several housemates early on by making a jovial comment about removing the "bores" from the house, aiming her comment towards fellow housemates Brittany and Phoebe. As a result, both Brittany and Phoebe nominated Renee for eviction on day 2, as did Tyson, who felt Renee would cause problems within the house. Renee was generally made an outcast by her fellow housemates, but she claimed this didn't bother her, as it was the public she had to impress, not her housemates. During week 2, Renee once again received nominations off Brittany, Phoebe and Tyson, plus gaining a fourth from Addison, who felt that Renee was challenging him for "house bastard". Renee was therefore nominated for eviction against fellow outcast Arcadia, which annoyed the public, as both Renee and Arcadia were becoming favorites. Renee was evicted on day 11 with 52% of the vote, she left the house to a positive reception.

Steffi
Steffi, aged 25 believed that her looks would get her far in the competition, as no one wants to watch "ugly people". Upon entering the house, Steffi quickly found herself attracted to Alon, with the two commencing flirtatious behavior within the first week of the show. Steffi found herself gaining only three nominations during the first three weeks, all coming from fellow housemate Lisa, which many cited as jealously. Steffi became popular with the public, with many applauding her disliking of Nicholas, who had been treating other housemates poorly, although Steffi herself admitted to disliking house 'victim' Arcadia. On day 21, Steffi and Abhi entered into a hostile feud over Alon, with both holding a romantic interest in him. Steffi told Abhi that he was "barking up the wrong tree", as Alon "wasn't gay". Despite this, Abhi continued to fight for Alon's affection, causing Steffi to react physically, often throwing drinks over Abhi, which caused violent retaliation. Steffi continued to only get one nomination a week, this time from Abhi, before receiving two in weeks 5-6 after Phoebe believed Steffi was becoming too aggressive towards Abhi. During week 7, Steffi was selected as Alon's "best friend", which she later used as proof that he enjoyed her company over Abhi's, adding more fuel to the fire. Alon & Steffi failed the "best friends" task, placing them up for eviction as a duo. The two of them survived, gaining 21% of the vote to save. During week 8, Steffi was nominated for eviction for the first time, having received three votes, off Abhi, Arcadia and Phoebe. Steffi admitted that she felt either herself or Alon would be evicted, as Arcadia and Tyson had proven to be well liked by the public. Despite Alon being the favorite to go, a campaign started by Abhi and Arcadia's followers to evict Steffi had proven successful, narrowly pushing Steffi ahead in the vote, causing her eviction to occur on day 53. Steffi left to a mixed reaction, with many feeling that she was rightfully with Alon, but disapproved of her disliking towards Arcadia, and how she dealt with the Abhi situation. Steffi now lives with Alon, they plan to marry and have children.

Timothy
Timothy, aged 27 entered the Sims Big Brother 1 house, displaying himself as a likeable individual who was there to have fun. During the first set of nominations taking place on day 2, Timothy only received one nomination, coming from Steffi, who felt that she had simply spoken to Timothy the least. Timothy attempted to bond with as many housemates as possible, believing that his extroverted self would mean that others would want to keep him around. Timothy particularly grew close to Lisa, becoming her 'follower' along with Phoebe. Timothy also grew close to Brittany while in the house, but he failed to stand up for her when Lisa would often gossip about Brittany behind her back. Due to backing Lisa, Timothy failed to gain much popularity outside the house. However, as he rarely gossiped about any other housemates, he also failed to gain much hate, meaning he went un-nominated by his fellow housemates. After Lisa's eviction on day 32 Timothy found himself apologizing for her antics. Other housemates were unsure as to why Timothy was apologizing, as they themselves hadn't seen him do anything to offend them. During week 6, Timothy once again avoided facing eviction, only receiving a nomination off Arcadia, who continued to feel that Timothy was Lisa's "left overs". During week 7, Timothy paired up with Brittany for the "best friends" task. Brittany & Timothy failed the challenge, meaning they faced eviction as a pair, against three other duo's. Due to having very little support from the public, Brittany & Timothy were easily evicted after receiving only 14% to save. They left the house to a generally positive reception, despite being branded as "boring" by the viewers.

Valerie
Valerie, aged 32 was the oldest female contestant in Sims Big Brother 1. Valerie quickly established herself as a quieter member of the household, rarely offending any other housemates, giving no one reasons to nominate her. Valerie did however gain a single nomination on day 2 from Derek, who felt she and Nicholas had purposely ignored him when he had made attempts to get to know them. Valerie took a disliking to fellow housemate Addison, not appreciating his antics which she felt were contrived and for show. Valerie also grew to dislike fellow housemates Lisa and Nathen, who she felt were all the sources of negativity within the house. During week 5, Lisa began an argument with Valerie, stating that she was siding with Kana as she wanted to side with the "popular" housemates. Valerie changed after this eviction, stating she didn't want to be perceived as someone who was conscious about the game. During week 7, housemates were told to side with their house "best friend", with Valerie joining Phoebe. Valerie & Phoebe were the only pair to pass the "best friends" task, granting them immunity from the eviction. During week 9, Valerie found herself nominated for the first time during the series, going up against Alon, Arcadia and Tyson. Despite Alon being the favorite to go, and Valerie doing little to warrent votes, she found herself in danger after a campaign saw supporters targeting Valerie, hoping to get her evicted. Due to being a smaller character throughout the series, Valerie had little support, meaning the other housemates followers were able to successfully team up to vote her out, with Valerie being evicted on day 60 after gaining 45% of the vote to evict.
