Big Brother (Season 2)

Big Brother 2, was the second series of the 2020 rebooted Big Brother fanfic. The season began in April, 2020 and concluded 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 13, Ruby Barker voluntarily walked from the house after she received news that her step-father had passed away. During Week 5, housemate Saxon Gething began 'rebelling' against Big Brother's luxury-servant divide theme. Despite being warned to stop, his antics continued throughout the week and reached a point where he began damaging house property. On Day 33, Big Brother demanded that Gething come to the diary room (where he would likely be ejected), but instead he scaled the garden wall and left the house himself.

After 92 Days, Manyata Chadha was crowned the winner of the series with 37% of the final vote, with Tommy Stewart as the runner-up after receiving 26%. It was the first occasion where both the final two were late-entries into the season.

Twists

 * Class Warfare: Between Weeks 1-5 Big Brother enforced an authoritarian class system on the house. Starting with Nick (as chosen by a viewer poll), an individual would act as 'House President', selecting members to join the 'Oligarchy'. These housemates would all live in luxury and been immune from eviction that respective week. During Week 1, the President and Oligarchs had total control over the house and determined who would be safe, with the five leftover housemates living in the 'Servants Quarters' (where they must wait on those in luxury and live on slop/basic rations) and additionally faced eviction. The two housemates with the fewest votes were left in danger, with the first 'House President' deciding who should be evicted of this pair. After Week 1, the outgoing 'House President' must select out of the 'Oligarchy' who will be their successor (following the trend of corrupt power). A housemate cannot be the president more than once, but can be in the 'Oligarchy' unlimited times. Rather than determine who would be evicted each week, from Week 2 onward the 'House President' simply cast a killer nomination against one of their respective housemates.
 * Coup d'état: In Week 3, new entrant Manyata was told that she would automatically live in luxury and have one week of exemption from both nominating and being nominated. However, Big Brother told her that she would have to enact a coup d'etat and claim power for herself, or else face automatic nomination the following week. She completed her secret mission, and as a result was granted the position of 'House President' in Week 4.
 * Intruders: On Day 15, Manyata entered the house as a replacement for Ruby. On Day 36, Abram, Soop and Tommy entered as replacements for Saxon.
 * Double Eviction: On Day 57, the two housemates with the fewest votes were evicted rather than just the one.
 * Face to Face Single Nomination: For the final round of nominations on Day 80, the remaining six housemates had to nominate face to face, and would each only be granted one nomination rather than two.
 * Final Week Temptation: It was announced that in Week 12 any housemates safe from eviction (and therefore supposed 'finalists') would be given a temptation by Big Brother. This turned out to be an offer of £5,000 to cancel the eviction and walk from the house. As the only non-nominated housemate, Tommy was the only person to receive the temptation, which he declined.

Summary
On Day 1, Kiko, Bethany, Maggie, Nick, Gamal, Lily, CJ, LuLu, Rosie, Kobi, Miki, Cai, Sinead, Saxon, Ruby and Callum 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.

The housemates are informed that the house has been set up to reflect an uneven society, with there being four sleeping and living quarters arranged for the sixteen housemates. The first of which is revealed to be the 'presidents suite'; a private luxury room. The second room is the large bedroom, decorated with five double beds and painted gold; known as the 'oligarch getaway'. The third room is the 'middle room', a standard but more cramped bedroom. Finally, a partially-open outdoor area known as the 'servants quarters'. The 'servants quarters' contains five fold out beds, and five small pillows and blankets. Big Brother tells the group that these divided areas of Big Brother society will play a role in the first few weeks of the house, and that the public have already voted in a snap-poll to determine who will become the first 'President' of the Big Brother house, with this individual being immune from the first eviction. Nick is revealed to have won the poll, being congratulated by his housemates.

The house do their best to enjoy the welcome drinks and get to know one another, knowing that this first night will be the only one for a while with nobody put into 'classes' (with the exception of Nick, who has already placed his things in the 'presidents suite'. Nick, LuLu and Ruby talk in the president's suite, talking about their excitement over the twist. Ruby jokes that it'll be funny seeing people sleep in squalor, further saying some of them look like they "grew up in it". Whilst determining who will sleep where for the first night, Gamal causes a fuss over not wanting to sleep outside, saying that he has back problems and that it would be dangerous for him, which annoys his housemates, who feel he's just making excuses. Lily and Rosie end up sharing a bed in the oligarch room, talking about their fellow housemates as they unpack. Lily ends up making insensitive comments about housemate Cai's vitiligo, saying that she feels sorry for who has to sleep next to him as it can make people uncomfortable. Before sleeping, CJ, Maggie, Miki and Ruby are the last four housemates to go to sleep. The four of them sit up late talking about how unreal it feels to be in the house. Although all four speak up, Ruby seems to command the conversation.

On Day 2, Rosie and Saxon sit smoking outside drinking their morning coffees. They end up talking about Maggie, who Saxon says he gets an odd vibe from. Rosie admits that she gets the same vibe, feeling that Maggie is a "tough type of girl". In the kitchen, Sinead makes breakfast alongside Callum, Kiko and Ruby. Callum and Sinead joke that they feel "old" in a house full of such young people. Ruby tells them that they can be the resident "Dilf and Milf". Sinead later tries to help Lily decide what she wants to eat, having rejected the earlier breakfast due to 'not wanting eggs'. Despite Sinead's attempts to help, Lily's indecisiveness and lack of appreciation for the others efforts begins to annoy people. Whilst getting dressed, Nick is forced to wear a 'presidential outfit' in the form of a military generals costume, seemingly looking the part of a dictator. President Nick is told that he must select five housemates throughout the course of the next two days to join the 'oligarchy' and that these five housemates will live in the 'oligarch getaway' and also be immune from the weeks eviction. These five people must be those he trusts enough to delegate power to. Whilst giving this information to the rest of his housemates as a presidential address, Nick impersonates U.S. President Donald Trump extremely accurately, much to everyone's amusement. Maggie attempts to ask a question, but is shut down by Nick as he tells her "no reporters, no fake news, thank you." Nick opts to select LuLu and Ruby as the first members of the oligarchy, having bonded with them the best on the first night in the house.

On Day 3, Ruby begins telling Nick who she thinks the next members of the oligarchy should be, doing her best to ensure that those she's closest to are also immune from eviction. He ultimately does this, selecting CJ, Maggie and Sinead to join the oligarchy. The housemates are then told that throughout the week, only the oligarchy and the president have access to luxury house areas. However, they are told that five more of them will be granted safety by the oligarchy alone, and that these five saved housemates can use luxury areas (bedrooms, bathrooms and non-basic rations) when in the company of a member of the oligarchy or the president themselves. Non-safe housemates Kiko, Kobi and Saxon sit by the pool, saying that whilst they don't like the idea of 'class warfare', they accept that it's part of the game. Saxon tells them that it's bringing out the 'anarchist' inside him, whilst Kobi jokes that it's politically moving him "ever further to the Left". Kiko laughs and admits they've lost him now they're talking politics, instead pointing out that Lily is continuously sulking that she hasn't been picked. The three agree to finding her childish. Gamal seems to be feeling down at being left out of the oligarchy, as well as a general feeling of separation from his fellow housemates. Callum joins Gamal in the living room and tries to comfort him, offering the younger housemate a pep talk. Callum tells Gamal that he sees a lot of himself in him, and says that he needs to learn to throw himself in more socially otherwise he'll be left out. The conversation ends with Callum telling Gamal that he'll look out for him "as a big brother in Big Brother".

Oligarch housemates CJ, Ruby and Sinead talk strategy on who they give safety to in the house, giving Rosie permission to join them in their bedroom to ask her what her views would be. Rosie admits that she feels Gamal and Lily are the two least deserving to get safety. Elsewhere, Callum is speaking with oligarch members LuLu and Maggie, and is eventually joined by Lily. Lily flat out asks the two for safety, saying that she doesn't want to have to sleep outside. Callum does the same, but more subtly and seems to be socially playing the conversation to his advantage. After her own conversation, Rosie comes out and joins Saxon, who has been watching the other four talk. Rosie and Saxon gossip once again, this time saying they feel that Callum is a game-player and could be trouble in the house. At the end of Day 4, the oligarch are summoned to announce who they will be granting safety to. They reveal that they opted to play fairly and each select one person to save. CJ saves Miki, LuLu saves Callum, Maggie saves Lily, Ruby saves Kiko and Sinead saves Rosie. This leaves Bethany, Cai, Gamal, Kobi and Saxon as the five nominated housemates who will face the first eviction.

On Night 4, a teary Bethany sits up on her fold out bed, disappointed to have allowed her social anxiety to get the best of her, telling Kobi that she struggles to make friends and fit in due to it. He comforts her and agrees to stay awake and talk for as long as she needs. Bethany says it hurts to know that she's been cast-off with people "like Gamal" who have actively done things to make a bad impression, whilst her being nominated is simply through "being quiet". The next day, Bethany joins up with fellow quiet housemate Cai to try and get more involved socially. They end up making breakfast (as 'servants' must do for the oligarchy and president) for LuLu, with Callum standing on the side giving them cooking tips to enable them to perform well. In the smoking area, Kiko and Saxon talk through their nonchalant attitude to life, with Saxon saying it extends to the game and nomination process. Ruby and Maggie join the boys and seemingly try to apologise for not saving Saxon, which he tells them is unnecessary as he isn't phased. The group spend the next thirty minutes trying to make smoke rings as good as Kiko, ultimately to no avail. Whilst in the servants quarters on Day 7, Saxon tries to get Gamal to be more relaxed and confident in the house, paying him compliments about his look, eventually seeming to be flirting with an unaware Gamal. On the night before the first eviction, oligarch housemate LuLu gives a fiery speech of hope for all the housemates, hyping everyone up and successfully alleviating the nervousness that has dominated the house the past few days. On Day 8, Gamal and Kobi are revealed to have received the fewest votes. However, it is then told that Nick as the House President must decide which of the two will be evicted from the game. Nick chooses to evict Gamal, who leaves the house to a mixed reception. After Gamal is evicted, Nick is told in the spirit of authoritarian societies, he must decide between those in his oligarchy who will become the next president. He is informed that once a housemate becomes president, they may not do so again. He selects LuLu to take over his position.

Saxon cooks the house a meal during his last night as as servant, which everybody praises him for. Callum, Lily and Maggie talk about new House President LuLu, pondering who she'll pick to be in her oligarchy. Callum notes that he hopes she selects people who haven't had a chance at luxury yet. On Day 9, LuLu selects Callum, Maggie and Nick to join her oligarchy, making all three immune from the next eviction. She opts to give Kobi the killer nomination for the week, citing his bottom two placement as a 'fair' reason. CJ, Kiko and Miki are selected by LuLu to become servants for the week along with Kobi, who is now on his second week in the position. Ex-servant Saxon gives the new servants a tour around the outdoor quarters, acting as if he's a property show host, much to their amusement. In the presidential suite, LuLu, Lily and Sinead somewhat gossip about Bethany, talking about her social awkwardness over the past few days. Servant Kiko waits upon oligarch member Maggie as she talks with Ruby and Sinead. The three of them convince Kiko to join them for a drink, bonding throughout Night 10. On Day 11, Bethany, Cai, Lily and Miki are revealed to have received the most nominations. The four of them plus Kobi are said to face the second eviction.

CJ cleans around the house during his servant role, telling Saxon that it 'takes him back'. He ends up admitting to Saxon that he spent time in incarceration when living in the U.S., and that it was on a 'petty drug charge'. Saxon says he's brave to share this story openly, joking at the end of the conversation that due to being attractive he's sure CJ had "a lovely time" in prison, casuing CJ to laugh. On Day 12, the servants are made to throw a party for the luxury housemates, with the middle housemates in attendance (but not able to have any of the luxury food). LuLu begins to annoy her housemates by acting in a demanding and rude manner during the dinner, which she tries to pass off as a joke. Servants CJ, Kiko, Kobi and Miki all discuss disliking LuLu, half-jokingly suggesting they go on strike for the remainder of her tenure as House President. During the dinner, a drunk Maggie ends up kissing Miki as a dare, which Miki ultimately enjoys. Later that evening, CJ joins Cai, Lily and Nick in the lounge where they sneak him some of the luxury food, knowing that he's been struggling living on slop. Bethany goes to the servants quarters to check on her friend Kobi, wanting to make sure he's doing okay after a rough few weeks in the house. He tells her that due to his work in the NHS he's used to high-stress environments, but that he appreciates her support. Bethany admits that she hopes the pair of them can survive the eviction, as she feels neither deserve to go home. On Day 13, Ruby is called to the diary room to be privately told of the sudden passing of her step father. She opts to be with her mother at this time, quietly leaving the house moments later. Big Brother lets the housemates know of her departure due to a "family emergency", informing them that she wishes them all well. Ruby's close friends Maggie and Sinead take the news particularly hard. On Day 15, Lily receives the fewest votes and becomes the second person evicted from the Big Brother house. Later that night, Manyata enters the house as a replacement for Ruby, being told that she will be immune from the next eviction, and will automatically live as an oligarch member. She is privately informed by Big Brother that she has a chance to stage a coup d'état by the end of the week, which will make her the fourth House President. However, if she fails to stage a coup, she will automatically face the fourth eviction.

After Lily's eviction, LuLu selects Callum as the next House President. On Day 16, Callum names Kiko, LuLu and Maggie to join his oligarchy. The house are somewhat annoyed that LuLu and Maggie have now both lived on the luxury side of the house for three weeks straight. Callum names Miki as the recipient of his killer nomination, and further names CJ, Nick and Rosie as servants alongside her. Manyata is told by Big Brother that her secret coup mission is to get a majority of the 'middle' and 'servant' housemates to agree in conversation that she'd be a better president than Kiko or Maggie (as LuLu is ineligible to be president again). LuLu makes jokes that being Indian, Manyata is probably used to living in luxury "with slaves" or "being a servant" herself. Saxon and Nick gossip about Manyata, feeling as though she has a sense of being better than other housemates. In the middle bedroom, Bethany and Kobi celebrate the both of them managing to finally share a room that isn't the servants quarters. They end up discussing Cai, who they feel recently has been trying to socially integrate himself with those in power, and find he's being disingenuous. President Callum summons Cai and Manyata to his suite, where the three of them share drinks and bond. Cai says he'd like to soon find himself living on the luxury side of the house. On Night 17, Sinead complains at being in the middle bedroom for the second week running. Her attitude annoys all those present. Cai quietly points out that unlike most, Sinead has managed to live on the luxury side at least once and has avoided being a servant. On Day 18, Cai and Sinead receive the most nominations, and will face the third eviction alongside Miki.

Sinead continues whinging after being nominated, feeling as though she's somehow being hard done by. Maggie reminds her that it's not that bad, but Sinead snaps back, pointing out that Maggie has lived in luxury for three weeks in a row. The pair end up arguing whilst Saxon watches on, doing over-dramatic faces at the cameras in an attempt to mock the ridiculousness of Maggie and Sinead arguing over a fake class system. Bethany jokes around by ordering servant CJ to fetch her things, causing him to berate her publicly. CJ rants at Bethany that after two weeks as a servant he doesn't need her 'jokes'. Bethany seems nervous during this confrontation. Kobi witnesses the argument, and later lectures Bethany on coming off rudely. Bethany feels as though Kobi is being harsh, but ultimately acknowledges that she may have been rude. Despite this, she becomes teary later on when alone, and is brought to the presidential suite by Callum. Callum does his best to cheer up Bethany, eventually getting servant CJ to bring the pair of them food (somewhat to wind up CJ). He says to Big Brother that he feels protective of people 'like Bethany'. Throughout the week, Manyata manages to get a majority of the house to verbally agree that she would be a better president than Maggie (who people feel has had too much luxury) and Kiko (who people doubt could be a good president). This means that Manyata's coup has been successful, and she will become the Week 4 president. On Day 22, Miki is revealed to have the fewest votes and is evicted from the house.

In Week 4, Sinead starts the week by flirting with Nick, who she says is the only attractive male in the house. Knowing she's in trouble, Sinead goes and speaks to new House President Manyata, successfully bonding with her and mending their negative first impressions of one another. On Day 23, Manyata selects Cai, Callum and Sinead to join the oligarchy. She also selects Nick as the killer nomination recipient, with Kiko, Kobi and Maggie being selected as servants alongside her. Feeling fed up with the class-divide in the house, Saxon begins eating luxury food items, which causes Big Brother to punish the whole house. Kiko doesn't take to his role as servant, and is berated by Cai who continuously orders him around, which causes a rift between the pair. On Day 25, CJ, LuLu and Maggie receive the most nominations, joining Nick in facing the fourth eviction.

Maggie and LuLu sulk at facing nominations the first week they're not-immune, feeling as though the house is jealous at how much luxury they were living in. Saxon continues to rebel against the theme of the house, licking and spitting on luxury food items in an attempt to spoil them. Big Brother is forced to replace these items, and gives Saxon his final warning, telling him that if he continues he will be removed from the house. Kiko and Kobi bond in the servants quarters, noting the divide between certain groups on the house stemming from the class roles. Nick is the only servant to fulfil his role well, receiving praise off a majority of the housemates. However, Callum jokingly calls Nick out for being a "brown noser", causing Nick to criticise Callum for continuously hiding behind immunity. CJ, Maggie and Rosie sit in the garden on Night 28, discussing the next days eviction. Rosie tells them that she'd like LuLu to be evicted, despite the fact that she nominated Maggie herself. On Day 29, Nick becomes the fourth person to be evicted from the Big Brother house.

Manyata selects Cai as the next president. Cai jokes that as president he's going to ask girls to perform sexual favours on him if they want to be granted luxury/safety, something which disgusts a few of his housemates. Sinead says in the diary room that nobody would do anything to Cai due to his "horrible face". Cai picks Callum, LuLu and Manyata for his oligarchy, and casts his killer nomination against Sinead. Kiko, Kobi and Rosie are selected to join Sinead as servants, with the trio mutually agreeing that they dislike Cai. Rosie and Sinead decide to go on strike as servants and refuse to do any chores. Rosie begins throwing bin bags at the oligarchy when they ask for items of clothing, telling them to dress up as the "trash they are". Rosie and Sinead are given warnings for their strike, and once again the whole house is punished. Bethany and Rosie receive the most nominations on Day 32, joining Sinead in facing the fifth eviction.

After nominations, Saxon continues his strike against both the oligarchy and Big Brother itself, wiping slop over the cameras and throwing pots around the garden. He begins spitting at the two-way mirror outside, forcing Big Brother to demand that he come to the diary room. CJ and Kiko go outside to convince Saxon to stop, but instead he bids them both farewell, telling them that he's had enough. CJ and Kiko accept Saxon's decision eventually, and CJ helps boost Saxon onto the garden wall, which he jumps over in order to exit the house. After Saxon's walk, CJ and Kobi end up bonding when discussing their hopes that the twist will soon end. CJ tells Big Brother that Kobi is "a lot cooler" than he gave him credit for, saying he'd be even better if he "ditched the ugly moody one" in reference to Bethany.

Maggie tries to cheer the whole house up after Saxon's quit, which has left most housemates feeling uneasy. However, CJ, Kobi and Manyata gossip about Maggie, saying that they find her fake and somewhat irritating. CJ says that he doesn't mind her, but can see why others don't. Maggie accidentally breaks house rules by entering luxury spaces on her own, and once again the house is punished. Big Brother reminds housemates that if individuals continue to rule break, serious action will be taken. On Day 36, Bethany is shockingly announced as the fifth person to be evicted from the house. New housemates Abram, Tommy and Soop enter the house shortly after.

Big Brother informs the housemates that the presidency and oligarchy have collapsed, and that as of this week normal nominations will commence for the first time. As new housemates, Abram, Tommy and Soop are immune from nominating and being nominated. Maggie questions others on Soop, who is a drag queen. She admits that she isn't a fan of men dressing up as women, finding it "icky". Abram gives a small history lecture to Cai, CJ and Sinead, who find his quirkiness endearing. Callum, LuLu, Maggie and Soop hang out in the middle bedroom, with Soop letting Maggie try on some of her costumes. They ask Soop what she'd like to be called (given that her name is Tyson), with Soop saying that she doesn't mind. During conversation, Callum and LuLu talk about nominating Kobi. This conversation is later placed back to the entire house, leading to a punishment of no hot water and slop for 48 hours. Kobi confronts Callum after this, calling him arrogant and a game-player. Callum, LuLu and Rosie receive the most nominations and are announced to face the sixth eviction. Callum laughs about this, knowing that he would likely be nominated on his first week where he's eligible to be voted for.

Callum and Cai sit with Abram and Soop, wanting to bring the new housemates into their clique. Manyata quickly becomes fed up with the lack of luxury in the house, having been sent to the middle bedroom (along with the others who spent the most time in the luxury rooms). This annoys the house, who feel she is being stuck up. Manyata ends up joining Sinead and Tommy in gossiping about Maggie, who all feel she's outstayed her welcome. During conversation, Manyata lets slip that she had nominated Maggie before. Once again, this conversation is played back to the house, and mild punishments ensue. Maggie and Manyata fight in the living room after this, voicing their disdain for one another. On Day 43, LuLu receives the fewest votes and is evicted to the house, receiving a negative reception from the crowd, which scares the remaining housemates.

In Week 7, Manyata receives a dilemma task between giving herself a luxury spa treatment and meal, or giving this up so that the whole house can have a takeaway. What she doesn't know is that the rest of the house are watching this on the TV in the sitting area. Manyata tells Big Brother that she hates takeaways and picks the spa, angering the whole house. CJ, Manyata and Sinead later talk about Maggie, with Manyata saying that she really hates her, and that she would never give her a takeaway. Cai and Maggie talk together in the pool and are joined by Kobi, who admits he's struggling and feels largely friendless in the house. Over the next day, Cai's arrogant attitude annoys older housemate Tommy, who calls Cai out and shuts him up. On Day 46, Cai, Callum, Maggie and Manyata receive the most nominations to face the next eviction.

Maggie asks Kiko why people aren't warming to her in the house. He bluntly tells her that she's got a "resting bitch face" and comes off "snobby", which proves too honest of a response for Maggie, who is greatly offended by this. The pair end up arguing over it, but Kiko tells her that she asked his opinion and he gave it. Abram and CJ console an upset Kiko (who doesn't like confrontation). Abram organises a reenactment role-play session to cheer Kiko up, which seems to do the job. Manyata feels guilty for her earlier actions and ends up cooking an Indian meal along with her friend Sinead as means of apology, which the house greatly appreciate. At the meal, Rosie controversy asks Soop about drag and gender-identity, saying that black women traditionally have a "more masculine" look, enabling Soop to pass as a female. Soop corrects her on this bigoted remark, but remains composed in doing so. Cai becomes the seventh person evicted from the Big Brother house on Day 50, leaving to a negative reception.

Rosie and Soop are caught discussing nominations in the middle bedroom, both saying that they'd like to see Manyata go up again. Big Brother publicises this conversation to the house, and tells them that as a punishment both will automatically face the eviction this week, as well as being banned from nominating. Abram and CJ later talk about Soop, saying they feel that she just follows others around without doing her own thing. Kobi later joins the conversation, and jokes that Soop can't make up their mind on gender, so can't make their mind up on who to be friends with. Manyata later argues with CJ after they clash over shopping budget, with Manyata declaring that she's fed up with being in the house. Callum, Maggie, Manyata and Sinead receive the most nominations in Week 8, going up for eviction alongside Rosie and Soop. The house are informed that this week will be a double eviction.

Tommy decides to mediate a conversation between Callum and Kobi, wanting them to clear the air and make amends. He later tells the house how his wife passed away several years previous, and that it taught him to appreciate moments in life. He then talks fondly of his grandchildren, which touches the whole house. Maggie however annoys everyone by asking mid-story how Tommy's wife died, which people find insensitive. On Day 57, Soop is the first person evicted with just 5% of the vote to save. Later that same evening, Maggie is also evicted with 12% to save.

Manyata and Sinead both celebrate their enemy Maggie's eviction with an impromptu dance session. CJ chastises Manyata for this, saying that it is in bad taste. He tells her that she's behaving "classless", comparing her to Rosie. Manyata tells CJ that he's boring her, and continues with her celebration. Sinead takes the celebration over to Kobi and Rosie. All of them get involved in the drinking. On Day 58, the housemates have a political discussion in the sofa area. Tommy admits that he has recently voted for 'UKIP', citing too much immigration as his reasons for doing so. Kiko says whilst he doesn't vote, he disagrees with this sentiment, noting that anti-immigration rhetoric has regularly been used against his Nigerian-born mother. Tommy ends up going on a rant when defending himself, naming reasons why he feels immigrants have 'held back' the UK. The pair end up arguing over their contrasting views. Callum, Manyata and Rosie receive the most nominations to face the next eviction.

Callum seems bitter at his fall to the bottom of the house after previously being on the top. He makes snide comments to wind others up for his own entertainment. CJ ends up rising to this, and tells Callum to his face that he's played a bad game. Callum continues winding CJ up, but CJ laughs and tells Callum to enjoy being evicted before him. Manyata and Rosie prepare their eviction outfits. Rosie compliments Manyata's array of outfits, and that she wishes she herself could look so gracious. Manyata tells her that she could if she put more effort into her clothes, saying that Rosie has a beautiful face and figure. On Day 64, Rosie becomes the next person evicted from the house.

In Week 10, Tommy tells his housemates he's had enough of being locked up in the house, and that he hope he's soon evicted. Everyone discusses how grumpy he has become. Manyata and Kiko are selected by the house to take on a 'selfless dilemma'. Manyata agrees to give up all her luxury clothing in exchange for a house reward, but Kiko refuses to give up his cigarettes. Manyata criticises Kiko for this behind his back, labelling him a "junkie idiot" and "scummy". Kobi and Sinead tell Kiko they're not bothered by his decision. The three of them sit outside drinking cider and say they look forward to returning to the real world. Abram, Callum and Kiko receive the most nominations and face the tenth eviction.

Abram annoys everyone by sulking after being nominated. Callum tells him to get over it and that he personally has been up five weeks in a row, pointing out that he "hasn't cried once". CJ and Kobi talk about Tommy, saying despite both initially liking him, that they feel his recent attitude is sour. They laugh at how much Kiko despises Tommy. Tommy continues annoying the house throughout the week, openly saying that he wants to leave, but that he'll only go if he's evicted rather than to quit. On Day 70, Callum and Manyata drink wine in the garden together, joking that they're the only classy people left. They further joke and call themselves the 'vineyard villains' whilst toasting their glasses. On Day 71, Abram is predictably evicted from the house, much to his personal sadness.

Kiko and Kobi talk about Callum, who they agree is trying to wind people up, saying he "gets off being mean". Meanwhile, Sinead and CJ talk about Kobi. They say it's strange he lasted so long despite his poor start. Sinead says she's not sure what the public see in him. CJ reminds her that Kobi has only been nominated twice. Kiko and Tommy make amends after their political fight. Sinead is given a secret mission by Big Brother to get two housemates to cry tears, and that if she does she will win a party and letters from home. She is unaware that Big Brother has told the house of her mission, and that the real mission is for everyone to remain stoic when talking to Sinead, and not let her work out that her mission is a sham. Comically, Sinead tries to get Tommy to talk about his grandchildren, but he tells her he's glad to have a break from them, horrifying Sinead. She tries telling Kiko (who she knows loves animals) about her cat that died after it was horrifically hit by a car. Due to being on his own mission, Kiko ends up laughing during the story, admitting later that Sinead's monotonous explanation and Irish accent made the story darkly funny. Sinead ends up crying herself after the story. Sinead ultimately fails her mission, which in turn means the house has passed theirs, winning the party and letters from home for all. At the party, Sinead and Kiko get drunk and cry when talking about her cat's death. On Day 74, Callum, CJ, Kiko, Manyata and Tommy receive the most nominations to face the eviction.

Manyata and Callum have another 'vineyard villains' session, drinking together and talking about the other housemates. They spend the evening practising who can do a better 'evil laugh'. The next morning, Kiko cooks breakfast and unknowingly uses Manyata's vegan produce. Kiko tries to cover this up later when Manyata demands to know who had used it. Manyata randomly blames Kobi for the act, and the two end up arguing whilst Kiko just watches, not owning up and instead letting his friend take the blame. Manyata cries about the now lack of vegan produce in the house. Sinead jokes that she wishes this had happened previously so that she'd win her mission, causing Manyata to sob more. Sinead then points out in a deadpan style that "oh no... wait... you guys had to NOT cry, so it was good that this was today". CJ becomes the twelfth person evicted from the house on Day 78.

In Week 12, Callum and Sinead end up arguing over the latter says she's had enough of Callum's dry/snide comments. Callum, Kobi and Tommy sit in the sun together. The two men compliment Kobi, telling him that he'll do well from the experience and that he comes off well. Kobi says that it hasn't been hard to look good when in a house with people like the 'the two of them' and Maggie. Tommy continues to complain this week that he wants to go home. Kiko and Kobi joke that acting the way Tommy does, nobody would celebrate Tommy's life if he were to have a funeral... with Kobi later saying that he wouldn't be surprised if that was soon given how Tommy wheezes at night. Callum cooks a meal for the group, sitting down prior to the final round of nominations. Big Brother tells the house that two twists will take place in this penultimate week. The first is that every housemate will only nominate one other for eviction this week, and that all nominations will be done face to face.

Callum nominates Sinead for eviction, citing their recent argument as the reason. Sinead nominates Callum for this same reason. Kobi and Kiko both nominate Manyata, feeling as though her behaviour has been difficult to live with lately. Manyata nominates Kobi, still reeling from falsely believing he used her vegan produce. Finally, Tommy nominates Kiko for eviction due to their earlier disagreements in the house. As a result, everybody but Tommy receives enough votes to face the final eviction, giving Tommy a pass to the final (which Tommy hates). Sinead forces Manyata and Kobi to make peace, not wanting people to leave the house on bad terms. Kiko later joins Kobi and they talk badly about Tommy, agreeing he isn't a deserving finalist. On eviction night, Tommy is informed that he has a chance to prevent the eviction and leave in somebody else's place. He will walk from the house, taking £5,000 with him. This will cancel the eviction and change the vote to save into a vote to win, leaving the other five to become the finalists. However, Tommy shockingly declines the offer despite claiming he wishes to leave. Callum becomes the final person evicted from the house after receiving the fewest votes on Day 85.

The final occurred on Day 92, with Sinead finishing fifth and Kiko finishing fourth after the first vote freeze. After the final vote closed, Kobi was announced to have finished in third place, leaving two late-entries as the final two. Tommy finished as runner-up, with Manyata being declared the winner of Big Brother Season 2, despite leaving to somewhat negative reception.

Nominations

 * This table is posted as a picture due to the difficulties of fitting a large table on wikia effectively. A coded version of this table can be found here.

Trivia

 * Original housemates Bethany, CJ, Gamal, Kiko, Lily, LuLu, Maggie and Nick were created by James (along with intruder Abram). Original housemates Cai, Callum, Kobi, Miki, Rosie, Ruby, Saxon and Sinead were created by Simon (along with intruders Manyata, Soop and Tommy).
 * Whilst the cast was diverse, both Simon and James felt it lacked non-offbeat characters, ultimately dampening the quality of the season.
 * A total of seven housemates were from BAME backgrounds (CJ, Kiko, Kobi and Soop - Black British, Gamal - Egyptian, Manyata - Indian, Miki - Japanese).
 * A total of four housemates were openly LGBT at the time of competing (Abram and Soop - gay, Rosie - bisexual, Saxon - pansexual). Additionally, Kiko was the first openly asexual housemate.
 * Several 'jokes' during the season included:
 * The fact that both James and Simon found the cast/season dynamics quite dull and interesting, which reflected in how the story was told.
 * Bethany's eviction greatly angering James (who had wanted Rosie or Sinead to go that week), resulting in James threatening to constantly get revenge for her by evicting Simon's favourites.
 * Simon detesting 'Emma Watson' wannabe Maggie.
 * Sinead's late game arc in which she supplied deadpan humour unintentionally. Her 'dead cat' story is particularly highlighted.
 * Manyata only winning as a result of Tommy's random.org % stacking up high due to chance. Both James and Simon had identified Kobi or Kiko as the most realistic 'Middle of the Road' male winner options. However, the generator greatly favoured Tommy in the first round of voting, resulting in Kiko being eliminated in fourth place. As Simon refused to give his final % to win for Kobi (who he viewed as boring), he placed it all on Manyata, forcing James to do the same to ensure Tommy (who they both disliked) didn't win.
