Big Brother (Season 1)

Big Brother 1, was the first series of the 2020 rebooted Big Brother fanfic. The series began in March, 2020 and concluded later that same month. The series revolved around a group of strangers living in a custom built house with no contact with the outside world. Each week, the housemates are required to nominate two people for eviction. The three or more people with the most votes were nominated to leave the house. The viewers then decided which of the nominees should leave, with the selected person leaving during a live show. This process continued until only five housemates remained, at which time the public voted for which of them should win the £100,000 prize.

On Day 35, Darren Pepple voluntarily walked from the house after a severe fight with Lincoln Mackenzie and Niamh Yazdani, which culminated with Darren being ostracised and nominated by his fellow housemates. Three days later, Giles Johnson was removed from the house after displaying violent and threatening behaviour when drunk, alongside using several homophobic slurs (all against Troy Roberts).

After 93 Days, Niamh Yazdani was crowned the winner of the series with 43% of the final vote, with Adelaide Hatt as the runner-up after receiving 29%.

Twists

 * Nomination Pathogen: On Day 4, Big Brother informed the housemates that inside the Venus flytrap statue resided a 'note of fate' for whoever claimed it. Ollie opted to take the note, which instructed that he had become infected by a nomination pathogen, and that he must select who will be the next infected. This will create a chain reaction placing a total of five individuals up. Ollie 'infected' Frankie, with the chain continuing to also 'infect' Carole, Noal and Niamh. All five faced the first eviction.
 * Fake Eviction - The Secret Garden: For the Week 5 eviction, Niamh was fake evicted to the "Secret Garden" where she was joined by four new housemates. It was announced that this part of the twist was implemented as a result of the premature exits of Darren and Giles that same week.
 * The Secret Garden: Debuting on Day 38, Adelaide, Andy, Big Trev and Sonny entered the house. They were joined by fake evictee Niamh, who lived amongst them over the next seven days, being informed that by the end of the week she would select which three returned with her to the main house. The group also were able to torment on housemate secretly during their stay, picking Millie. On Day 45, Niamh chose to evict Big Trev, returning to the main house with the other three.
 * Double Eviction: On Day 73, the two housemates with the fewest votes were evicted rather than just the one.

Summary
On Day 1, Giles, Troy, Abiola, Chloe, Frankie, Rozzie, Millie, Ollie, Layla, Noal, Darren, Niamh, Shaggy, Sara, Lincoln and Carole entered the house. Big Brother comes on the speakers to inform the housemates that the sixteen of them are the starting line-up for the season, wishing them all luck for the next few months.

Frankie takes charge of the welcome party, ensuring that conversation and lighthearted jokes are flowing. Abiola, Lincoln and Niamh bond over being three of the ethnic minorities in the house, with Lincoln facetiously suggesting that they 'have one another's backs'. As the alcohol continues flowing, an intoxicated trio of Layla, Millie and Shaggy bond in the smoking area. Shaggy appears to enjoy having the company of two women. In the main bedroom, Darren and Niamh somewhat bicker over who should get access to the last single bed, with Niamh suggesting as a girl it should be her, although Darren tells her that being a feminist should mean that she doesn't expect special treatment. Lincoln bounces to her defence, ultimately convincing Darren to give up the bed.

On the morning of Day 2, Carole sits alone with Noal as the two earliest risers in the house. Carole complains to Noal that some housemates made noise at 4:00am, disturbing her sleep. He reminds her that it's both the Big Brother house and the first night, and that her expectations of quiet are unrealistic. She responds by telling him that he's naive to think she won't want the courtesy of quiet at night. Throughout the day, housemates continue to get to know one another and come to terms with their surroundings. Lincoln apologises to Darren for siding against him the night before, hoping that it doesn't cause any rift between them. Abiola and Millie sit in the bathroom together and talk about their housemates, mutually agreeing that they perceive Niamh as the sort of girl who knows she's good looking, and wonder if the boys are going to be easily charmed by her.

For the Week 1 shopping task, housemates are broken up into four groups of four. They are informed that only two groups will win access to a luxury food shop, whilst the other half will live off 'slop'. Giles, Ollie, Sara and Rozzie finish first, bonding the four of them as a group. Abiola, Carole, Lincoln and Millie finish second, likewise bonding them all. Abiola mentions that she feels glad to have already formed close bonds with Lincoln and Millie. Frankie has a small rant after the challenge, rubbing the house the wrong way, who view him as being a 'sore loser'. After the shopping task, Big Brother tells the housemate that one housemate must willing place their hand into the large Venus flytrap statue in the garden, accepting whatever they find inside as their fate. Feeling confident after his win, Ollie opts to take on the task, revealing a note inside that reads 'patient zero'. Big Brother informs Ollie that he has been infected by the 'nomination-pathogen', and that he must select who will be the next 'infected'. This will continue until a total of five housemates have been 'infected', each by the next person in the chain.

Chloe admits to Shaggy that she's nervous about being the first to leave, knowing that whoever leaves will feel embarrassed. Shaggy comforts her, paying her compliments as well as assuring her that she won't be the first to leave. Ollie is told to select the next carrier of the 'nomination-pathogen', which he selects as Frankie, giving his reason as his post-task rant. Chloe, Giles, Noal and Troy joke together in the kitchen that they'll keep opinions to themselves from now on, citing Frankie's as having gotten him nominated. Frankie is told it's time to select the next 'infected' housemate. He ultimately decides on Carole, suggesting she's somebody he hasn't spoken to. Carole finds this predictable, admitting that she isn't shocked being the "only oldie" in the house. Giles, Ollie, Millie and Shaggy discuss the nomination process, agreeing that it's unfair to take it personally due to it only being Week 1. Giles is praised by several housemates for having formed good relationships by a majority of the house, particularly with Ollie. Shaggy admits in the diary room that he finds Millie attractive. Carole selects Noal as the next nomination due to their disagreement over sleeping earlier in the week. Noal takes the nomination well and maturely, something that impresses the entire house. Big Brother tells Noal that whoever he nominates will be the final individual to face the first eviction. Before the final nomination, Lincoln and Shaggy joke around in the garden, with the jokes slowly becoming more personal, leading to a small argument between the pair. Niamh comments that they're both 'too similar' to get along. Noal makes the final nomination against Niamh, suggesting that he picked somebody who he felt wouldn't take it personally.

During the days leading up to the first eviction, Noal, Sara and Shaggy gossip about Frankie, who they find has strange behavioural habits. More gossiping takes place between Lincoln and Giles, who both admit finding Niamh attractive, but feel as if she's 'too arrogant' in how she carries herself. Carole finds herself emotional about the impending eviction, opting to go to bed early. She is awoken by several housemates who continue making noise into the early hours of the morning, causing her to confront them. Layla argues with Carole, telling her that she's out of depth in the house, causing Carole to become upset and retreat. Giles ultimately comes to Carole's side, sympathising with her against Layla. On Day 10, Ollie becomes the first person to be evicted from the Big Brother house, having received the fewest votes to save.

In Week 2, the house is shocked to see Ollie leave the house, but pleased to hear a positive reception waiting for him. Shaggy arrogantly announces that he had hoped Frankie would be the one to leave, citing that Ollie "didn't deserve to go". Frankie continues to feel isolated by his housemates, telling Big Brother that he's considering walking from the house. Niamh consoles Frankie, telling him that if the public kept him in that he has a duty to stay until his time is "naturally up". Later that evening, Niamh is doing her makeup when she is suddenly verbally called out by a semi-intoxicated Rozzie, who criticised Niamh for being "obsessed" by looks. The pair break into an argument over this, with Niamh responding to the sudden criticism by telling Rozzie that she'd be "more concerned about looks if she had any". Layla is seen laughing as the fight goes on, clearly enjoying the entertainment. On Day 13, Abiola is given a secret mission by Big Brother to overshadow the Millie's birthday by completing different actions, and that if she is successful then Big Brother will throw a party for the whole house. Abiola is successful in her mission, which culminates in Millie throwing a strop in the diary room after assuming that everybody had disregarded her birthday. Upon leaving the diary room, she finds the others have set up a celebration spread in the living area, and an abundance of alcohol for the house to enjoy. During the party, Millie's drunken antics both greatly entertain and annoy the house, who wonder when her eccentric personality will become grating.

On Day 14, all housemates nominated for the first time. Big Brother later revealed that Frankie, Millie and Niamh had received the most nominations, and as a result would all face the second eviction. The housemates also win a luxury shopping budget in their food-task, mostly thanks to Lincoln, who earns the houses respect. Giles and Lincoln sit together to evaluate the house dynamics, admitting their surprise to one another that they get along so well. Abiola, Frankie and Troy discuss the nominations fallout, with Abiola particularly concerned for her friend Millie in the eviction. The three admit their surprise that Carole escaped facing eviction, suggesting she has rubbed several people the wrong way. On the night of Day 16, Giles and Darren both hype up Millie and Frankie in the garden, who are both nervous for the follow nights eviction. Both the nominees appreciate the boys boisterous pep-talk. Later that evening, Millie and Layla relax privately in the smoking area, having grown closer the past few days. Layla tells Millie that she finds her attractive, which surprises Millie (who identifies as straight), but still endears her. The pair lay together under a blanket for over an hour. On Day 17, Frankie becomes the second person to be evicted from the Big Brother house.

During Week 3, the housemates are thrown a party after Rozzie successfully completes a mission to dance non-stop for five hours in the garden. At the party, a majority of the housemates become wildly drunk. Niamh jokingly kisses openly gay housemate Troy, which culminates with Troy inappropriately touching Niamh intimately in order to 'make a joke'. Niamh appears embarrassed by the act, but receives no initial apology off Troy. Troy is later called to the diary room and given a warning off Big Brother for inappropriate behaviour, forcing an apology to Niamh. After much of the house has gone to sleep, Millie confesses to pansexual housemate Sara that she likes flirting with Layla. Sara herself begins flirting with Millie in return, as Millie admits she is beginning to question her desires. On Day 19, Abiola, Chloe and Sara discuss cosplay, with Chloe stating that she once wore her hair in braids like Abiola for a character. Abiola gets annoyed by this, lecturing Chloe and Sara on 'cultural appropriation'. Chloe and Sara argue with Abiola about this, feeling as though she's trying to twist things to make them look bad. The housemates nominate once again on Day 20, with Carole, Millie and Niamh receiving the most votes to face the third eviction.

Niamh takes the news of her nomination well, having become accustomed to it at this point. She decides to cook a middle-eastern inspired meal for the whole house, which is widely praised by her companions. Noal becomes emotional throughout the rest of the week, confiding in Chloe and Shaggy that he feels he's yet to form any close bonds with either the boys or girls. He is comforted by the pair, who tell him that they'll look out for him in the house. Sara witnesses this, complimenting Shaggy for his 'older brother' act with Noal. Shaggy boasts that he enjoys protecting others, continuing to flirt with Sara for several minutes, before the pair share a private kiss in the snug. Carole is announced as the third person evicted on Day 24.

In Week 4, Rozzie complains of boredom in the house, feeling as though she wouldn't mind leaving soon. Niamh privately tells Big Brother that she wishes Rozzie would leave. She later says this around Sara, who verbally pounces on Niamh, feeling as though she's become arrogant due to being saved by the public three times. Abiola loses the shopping task due to a fear of getting wet, irritating the whole house who will now be living on basic rations. Abiola sulks due to this, but is comforted by close-friend Lincoln, who begins flirting and making moves on her, which she somewhat reciprocates. On Day 26, the house are told to privately vote for the most-popular housemate, with whoever gets the most vote being given access to a private garden party and the right to bring along four guests of their choosing. Lincoln wins the vote in a landslide, bringing Abiola, Giles and Niamh with him to the party as the others watch from behind the sliding glass doors. After the fourth round of nominations, Abiola, Chloe and Millie are revealed to be facing the next public vote.

Abiola and Troy mess around together in the pool, fake romancing in front of Lincoln to wind him up. Lincoln mentions that Troy "the gay guy" is getting more action than all the other men combined. Niamh facetiously says this is why she doesn't believe in homosexuals, and that it's just a cover to "get more girls". Abiola starts wildly campaigning around the garden to the viewing public, chanting "don't evict me before he (Lincoln) dicks me", much to the amusement of her fellow housemates. Millie begins to mimic this later in the day, wearing Abiola's second set of extensions as the two of them skip round the garden together chanting. Darren and Rozzie observe Abiola's antics, agreeing that she's playing up to the cameras in a desperate plea to stay safe, calling her "embarrassing". The house are all left shocked when Chloe is announced as the fourth evictee on Day 31, with Abiola and Millie celebrating their 'successful campaign'.

In Week 5, Rozzie congratulates Abiola on surviving the eviction, which Abiola appreciates, not knowing that Rozzie has been talking behind her back. The housemates have a glow-paint themed party on Day 32, in which an intoxicated Millie and Darren flirt in the main bedroom. Millie ends up sitting on Niamh's bed, which Darren claims "should've been (his)". Darren jokes that he and Millie should have intercourse on the bed to annoy Niamh, causing Millie to accidentally spill some wine over it. Millie laughs at this, with Darren purposely throwing the remainder of the glass over Niamh's pillow. Later that evening, Niamh discovers the wine over her bedding and confronts Millie, who admits who happens and apologises. Niamh later questions Darren on the incident, becoming infuriated by his smug and unrepentant response. The pair viciously argue, prompting Lincoln to get involved and take Niamh's side. Lincoln and Darren get extremely heated in their argument, with Big Brother requesting that they separate due to fears of escalation. In the main bedroom, the housemates listen in to the fight, causing Giles to suggest that they wash the sheets in the morning and that he get involved to calm Lincoln down. Shaggy suddenly criticises Giles for a 'holier than thou' attitude, telling him not to interject in other people's conversations/drama. Their argument ends with Shaggy branding Giles a "game-player".

Over the next few days, Darren finds himself being alienated by a majority of the housemates, who view his behaviour as unacceptable. On Day 34, Darren, Millie, Niamh and Troy are nominated for eviction by their fellow housemates. Darren talks to Big Brother about wanting to leave the house, feeling as though Lincoln has become the kingpin and that everyone follows what he says. Layla and Sara console Niamh after the nomination ceremony, letting her know that they are on her side in the drama. Layla in particular notes her second thoughts about being attracted to Millie after the fallout. The three of them gossip about Darren, agreeing that he should be the one to leave this week. They point out that only Giles, Millie and Rozzie are still talking to him. Later that evening, Darren struggles with having little to nobody else to speak with, being rejected in conversation with Noal, who tells him that it would be best for "everyone and (Darren)" if he left the house this week. Darren asks Noal if he thinks the public reception to him will be harsh, which Noal admits that it probably will be. Darren is unable to shake the feeling of dread about the upcoming eviction, once again requesting Big Brother let him leave the house, refusing to go out of the diary room unless it is via the side door. Big Brother ultimately accepts his wishes, and he walks from the game in the early hours of Day 35.

Big Brother informs the house that Darren has walked from the game later that day. Abiola, Lincoln and Shaggy admit they're pleased Darren has gone. Lincoln calls him a coward for going out the back door. Sara is given a secret mission by Big Brother to win a 'cheer up, be happy' party for the house, which aims to bring the mood up after the recent fights and Darren's sudden exit. Sara passes the mission, much to the house's delight.

During the party, Giles decides to get involved in the heavy drinking for the first time, hoping to present himself as 'more relaxed' after his argument with Shaggy. Knowing it could be his last night in the house, an intoxicated Troy demands that the boys give him a strip-tease style dance. Lincoln refuses to get involved, leaving Giles, Noal and Shaggy to perform alone. During the performances, Troy seems somewhat overbearing towards Noal, who looks uncomfortable. Giles (who is drunk) seems confident in his dance, jokingly kissing Troy on the neck during his performance. After the dances, Giles, Niamh, Noal and Troy head out to the poor, with Lincoln sitting on the side as they continue drinking. Whilst in the pool, Troy begins making jokes that he noticed Giles was aroused during his dance, making lewd comments about the size of Giles' privates. Giles and Troy begin play-fighting in the pool, which quickly turns more aggressive after Troy jokes that Giles is "a closeted Tory case". This comment causes a drunk Giles to become more aggressive, holding Troy's head under the water in a semi-joking manner whilst making threats and homophobic slurs. Big Brother demands Giles stop, which he ultimately does. Troy immediately leaves the pool, insulting Giles and calling him unstable. Giles responds by once again half-jokingly threatening to "kill" Troy, throwing out repeated anti-gay slurs in the process. Niamh, Noal and Lincoln sit awkwardly as this goes on around them. Giles is called to the diary room by Big Brother and given a warning about his behaviour, ultimately being instructed to sleep in the spare room to sober up and be apart from Troy, who is currently in the bedroom ranting that Giles is "a maniac" who "almost killed (him)". Troy loudly demands that Giles be arrested, much to everyone's confusion. On the morning of Day 38, Big Brother privately brings a now sober Giles into the diary room, where they give a transcript of his conversation with Troy, and discuss his unacceptable actions during the party. Big Brother tells Giles that due to his actions and language, it is not possible for him to remain in the house, and that he must be removed with immediate effect. Giles accepts this, clearly wanting to distance himself from the previous nights events and the show as a whole.

During the live show on Day 38, it is told to the audience that as a result of Darren and Giles' premature departures, that the eviction has been cancelled. Instead, the individual with the most votes will be 'moved' into the 'Secret Garden', joining four new housemates who will live in secrecy over the next week. The house will be led to believe that this person has been evicted, when in fact they will be not only moved, but immune from next weeks eviction. It is announced that Niamh received the most votes, and is therefore 'evicted' from the house, being taken into the Secret Garden once out of sight of her fellow housemates.

In the main house, Millie and Troy celebrate surviving the 'eviction', unaware that they in fact both received less votes than Niamh. Millie joins her friend Abiola, who is sitting outside with Sara discussing Shaggy. The three girls agree that Shaggy is more concerned with finding romance than he is about being in the house, suggesting that maybe he is on the wrong show. On Day 40, Noal and Troy sit in the snug and talk about Noal's sexuality. Noal confesses that he is bisexual, something that many housemates had assumed based on things he had said in the past. Noal claims that whilst he's open about it, that he didn't feel it necessary to unnaturally bring it up during his stay in the house. Abiola joins the pair, as Noal continues speaking about the hardships that have come with growing up LGBT. Troy says he's able to relate to Noal, whilst Abiola commends him for bravery and being a good role model. On Day 41, the housemates nominate for eviction once again. Layla, Millie, Rozzie, Shaggy and Troy are nominated to face eviction, which surprises Rozzie who hadn't expected to go up.

In the Secret Garden, Niamh does her best to get to know her new housemates. Sonny flirts with Niamh, telling her that she's definitely her type (although Niamh does not reciprocate this). Adelaide and Andy bond with Niamh, and end up discussing Sonny's 'attraction' to Niamh, questioning how genuine it is. However, Andy and Sonny bond later on, seemingly getting along well. Andy and Niamh talk about Big Trev, feeling that due to his age he's struggling to integrate with the rest of them, and that he spends much of his time sleeping. Niamh is told that she can select one housemate to torment, cutting off hot water for this individual throughout the rest of the week. She selects Millie, citing it as payback for the wine-spillage incident.

Back in the main house, Abiola and Noal talk about Rozzie, feeling as though her personality isn't completely genuine. Noal says that he finds her scary, and jokes that she's got "crazy eyes". Shaggy ends up serenading Sara in the garden, much to her amusement. He tells her that he's going to do a charity single when he leaves the house, and will donate the funds to helping Darren and Giles find work again, causing her to howl with laughter. Later that night, Shaggy asks Sara if she wants to cement a romance before he's possibly evicted, which immediately annoys her, finding it insulting that he'd ask her to do that "on national television". The two argue, and are joined by Troy, who jokes that he'll take Sara's place. Shaggy then turns his anger onto Troy, criticising him for continuous over-personal comments. Meanwhile, Niamh continues to be extremely popular in the secret garden, bonding well with Adelaide, Andy and Sonny. However, she wonders if Adelaide is genuine, finding her backstory of being 'upper-class' hard to comprehend.

On Day 45, Niamh is informed that during the live show she must choose one of the four new housemates to evict, bringing the remaining three back to the main house with her. Niamh admits the decision isn't difficult, having grown close to everyone but Big Trev over the past week, evicting him from the house. Big Trev takes this graciously, knowing that he wasn't fitting in with the younger crowd. Niamh and the three new housemates burst back into the main house, joining the remaining nine housemates on the sofas. Lincoln is ecstatic to see Niamh still in the game, whilst others look less than impressed. It is revealed that Layla received just 9% of the vote to save, and she becomes the next person evicted from the house.

Rozzie makes a welcome meal for the brand new housemates, wanting to help them settle in as fast as possible. The group fail their shopping task for the second consecutive week, greatly irritating Noal, who doesn't believe he should have to live on basic rations again. He decides to hoard food under his bed, letting Rozzie take the blame once it is reported missing. However, he is ultimately caught out, and scrutinised by his fellow housemates. The lack of food begins to rile up the housemates, causing multiple arguments throughout the week. Abiola and Sara bicker over whether or not to ration cigarettes on the shopping list, despite the fact that neither of them smoke. Prior to nominating, Adelaide, Millie and Sara note that Rozzie has been acting more timidly since she almost got evicted from the house, wondering if she is in fact playing a calculated game. Noal, Shaggy and Sonny are revealed to have received the most nominations for this week, and will be facing the next eviction. Sara, Shaggy and Rozzie discuss Millie now managing to avoid being nominated, something which surprised them. Sara says she likes Millie, but Rozzie claims to 'hate' her. Andy comes under fire from Sara after he does a vulgar prank gone wrong on her, causing the two to fight throughout Day 50. Troy seems gleeful that he's managed to return to being safe, something which Lincoln says he deserves after a few weeks on the block. Shaggy and Noal talk in the garden prior to the eviction, with Shaggy bringing up Noal's recent personality change. Noal denies such a change, and the two end the conversation on bad terms. On Day 52, Sonny is revealed to have received the fewest votes and is evicted from the house.

In Week 8, Lincoln is told by Big Brother that he must choose between a "rapping or napping" task. He jokes that the "nappers" Carole and Layla have been evicted, leaving rapping as the obvious choice. However, he doesn't realise the word was in fact 'wrapping', turning the house into a makeshift Christmas factory in which each house-guest must wrap 100 presents correctly in a 24 hour period. The group are told if more than 100 items are considered poorly wrapped and "rejected" then they will have failed the task. Shaggy and Lincoln bond as the factory managers, but Shaggy eventually annoys the house by taking his role less than serious, jeopardising the luxury shopping budget. Abiola and Adelaide argue during the wrapping after Adelaide appears to be throwing a strop, not used to performing manual labour. Later on, Adelaide and Shaggy bond as the two poor performers in the task. Despite the issues, the housemates pass the task. On Day 55, it is announced that Adelaide, Andy, Millie, Noal and Shaggy will be facing the next eviction.

Lincoln and Niamh later talk in the garden, feeling more positive about her time in Big Brother since her return from the Secret Garden. Lincoln appears to be flirting with Niamh, something which she doesn't mind. Millie, Noal and Rozzie sit by the pool together talking about Troy. Noal says that even though he likes Troy, he finds he's sometimes 'too much' and it makes him uncomfortable. Millie says she feels bad for Noal that there's no other LGBT man to flirt with other than Troy, who is a "no-go zone". Adelaide decides she wants to make amends with the house after her attitude in the challenge, deciding that a good way to do this would be to make a spaghetti carbonara. However, as a vegetarian Adelaide ends up using a jar of branded white pasta sauce in order to avoid putting any bacon in. Although the meal itself isn't above average, the house appreciate her efforts. Whilst cleaning up, Niamh and Sara bond over Niamh's impressive journey through the house. Sara tells Niamh she's beautiful and that the earlier issues people had with her were clearly "jealousy". On Day 59, Millie is shockingly revealed to be the next housemate evicted, leaving to a mixed reception.

Lincoln talks to Big Brother about how popular he is in the house, saying that it has surprised him to see how much respect he's gained off his peers. He says he hopes he's setting a good example for black men across the United Kingdom. The house has a party to celebrate Niamh's birthday, in which she kisses Shaggy as a 'dare'. After the party, Niamh, Noal and Sara lay in the snug and declare a "Celtic bonding session". Sara and Noal both jokingly say that Andy isn't invited to this and has had his Celtic-status revoked. Abiola and Troy speak to birthday-girl Niamh later that night, promising to buy her presents when they leave the house. On Day 62, Abiola, Andy, Noal, Shaggy and Troy are revealed to have received the most nominations to face eviction. Andy and Abiola discuss being nominated, leading to Andy flirting with her, which Abiola doesn't mind. Later on, Andy joins Niamh and Lincoln in the kitchen for a heart-to-heart. He admits to them that he's sad he failed to make a good impression on others in the house, which Niamh confirms. They suggest that if he survives the eviction again that he work on mending first impressions, although Lincoln says it'll be difficult. Despite the advise, Andy plays more pranks on housemates late at night, irritating everyone. Abiola manages to convince him to stop, allowing the house to return to sleep. Andy is unsurprisingly evicted on Day 66, leaving to a negative reception.

Niamh and Troy decide to work together to bring the group out in the garden for joint exercise, hoping the experience will bring everyone together. Adelaide and Rozzie become bored after this, deciding to lie to the housemates that they've received a mission from Big Brother to keep the whole house silent for five hours, and that if they succeed they'll win a reward. During the 'task', Adelaide continuously breaks the silence, acting as if she's losing the reward for the house. After several hours, the pair confess it was a joke, angering Noal, who has an argument with both girls, saying that it's pathetic to waste their time. Noal, Sara and Shaggy receive the most nominations and face the weeks eviction, not being told that it is in fact a double eviction week.

Later in the week, Lincoln and Sara gossip about Adelaide, pondering if her "stupidity" is put on or if she's genuinely unintelligent. Sara feels that nobody could put on an act for so long. Abiola and Sara have an argument as their personalities clash once again, with Abiola accusing Sara of being antsy over her facing eviction for the first time. On Day 72, Shaggy becomes bored and decides to berate others openly, including his 'flirtmance' Sara. He tells Sara that she will regret not sleeping with him, as outside the house she'd be "punching" to try and get with him. She privately cries over this after they argue in the living room. On Day 73, Sara is the first person evicted after receiving the fewest votes to save. The house are stunned when it is announced that Shaggy too will be leaving the house, with Noal being the only person to survive this weeks vote.

In Week 11, Lincoln and Noal talk whilst in the workout area, agreeing that Troy needs to reevaluate his boundaries with people. Rozzie comes out and joins them, complaining to the boys that she misses sex. Lincoln tells her that it won't be much longer until she enjoys it due to her "mad sex appeal". Lincoln decides to openly tell Troy that his boundaries need to be redrawn, and that it'll be good to watch back the season to see where he made others uncomfortable. Troy takes this as an attack on his character, arguing with Lincoln about his cult-like following in the house, thinking it has made him deranged with power. During the fight, Adelaide and Niamh relax in the snug, feeling glad to have made female friends in one another, something Niamh says she lacked for the first half of her stay in the house. On Day 76, Adelaide, Noal, Rozzie and Troy are announced as those facing the next eviction. On Day 78, Big Brother tells the housemates that a token for a private takeaway dinner has been hidden somewhere in the house. Noal searches inside the Venus flytrap statue, getting stuck for several minutes, much to everyone's amusement. Rozzie ends up finding the token, opting to share the meal with Adelaide. During their meal, the pair bond well, enjoying what could be both their last week in the house. However, they both soon begin mocking Noal and Troy (the other two facing the eviction), with Adelaide impersonating Troy in an ultra-effeminate and camp manner, and Rozzie impersonating Noal by being whiny and saying "I can't decide what I want" (a jab at his bisexuality). The pair are privately given warnings by Big Brother about their language and conduct. On Day 80, Rozzie becomes the twelfth person evicted from the Big Brother house.

Lincoln congratulates Noal on having survived another eviction, saying that this experience will help him grow massively as a person. Adelaide begins to feel guilty about her jokes against Troy and Noal, and decides to apologise to Noal in the lounge area. Noal doesn't take the news of the mocking well, branding Adelaide an "ugly stuck up c**t" in an argument, causing Adelaide to break down. Niamh comforts a crying Adelaide, saying that whilst she likes Noal, she feels he has a lot of maturing to do, and that too often he's gotten away with being bratty or rude. On Day 83, Adelaide, Noal and Troy receive the most nominations and face the final eviction, confirming Abiola, Niamh and Lincoln as finalists. The house are given a small party to celebrate the upcoming final eviction, in which Noal becomes quite drunk and mouthy, irritating several people. Adelaide, Niamh and Troy all agree to go on a shopping spree when they leave the house, which Adelaide says she'll pay for. Noal becomes somewhat paralytic on the sofa, and is joined by Troy who rubs his hair before helping him to his bed. Troy becomes the final person evicted from the house on Day 87, leaving the other five to go onto the final.

Trivia

 * All sixteen original housemates were 'cast' by James, whilst the four late entries were 'cast' by Simon.
 * The season intentionally featured a particularly diverse cast, wanting to reflect the best of modern-day Britain.
 * A total of six housemates were from BAME backgrounds (Abiola, Lincoln and Sonny - Black-British, Darren - biracial Black-Caucasian, and Niamh - biracial Pakistani-Irish).
 * A total of six housemates were openly LGBT at the time of competing (Layla and Troy - lesbian/gay, Millie, Noal and Sonny - bisexual, and Sara - pansexual).
 * Layla was both James and Simon's pre-season winners pick.
 * The Week 11 eviction ended in a tie between Rozzie and Troy (both of whom scored 22%). Therefore, each were generated a random number to determine how much >1% they'd have added onto their score. Rozzie got 18, whilst Troy got 93, meaning Rozzie was evicted from the house.
 * Several 'jokes' during the season included:
 * Giles having a "winners edit", which quickly disappeared due to his sudden ejection.
 * Rozzie being somebody who craved attention and popularity, but was often overshadowed by her housemates and shown as unlikeable when she did generate airtime. This culminated with a joke that due to irrelevancy people would get her name wrong after her eviction, earning the new names 'Roslyn', 'Rosie' and 'Raspberry'.
 * Adelaide being out of touch with reality, having grown up in an affluent family without any need to learn basic life skills. This was apparent when she tried and failed to make a vegetarian Carbonara, and not knowing what 'TK Maxx' was (thinking they were ex-housemates).
 * Big Trev failing to generate a single interaction during his time in the 'Secret Garden' other than being gossiped about by others.
 * That any night-time event past Day 24 would've left Carole 'fuming' due to her need to be in bed before 10:00pm.
