Big Brother
Big Brother 2004, also known as Big Brother 5, was the fifth series of the British reality television series Big Brother, which premiered on Channel 4 on 28 May 2004 and lasted 71 days until the live finale on 6 August 2004. Following the poor reception and ratings for Big Brother 4, producers decided to cast a more controversial set of housemates and introduced an 'evil' Big Brother. This saw an increase in ratings when compared to the previous edition. In total, the series averaged 5.1 million viewers, thus making it the second highest rated so far, only behind Big Brother 3. The premise of the series remained largely unchanged from the previous instalment in the series, in which a certain number of strangers lived in a house together with no communication with the outside world, filmed constantly during their time in the house, trying to stay in the house for as long as possible in hopes of being voted the winner by the viewing public. It was the first series to feature a prize fund of up to £100,000. Certain elements of the show which had been there present since Big Brother's inception in 2000 were removed, such as the hot water only being present for one hour in the morning, the vegetable patch and the chickens.
In this, the totally LIVE Launch Programme of Big Brother 5, Davina introduces us to all 12 brand new contestants. And it couldn't be a more controversial list. A transsexual, a lesbian, an ex-stripper and an outrageously camp gay, to name just a few. In part one, a brief explanation of the application process (accompanied by all new footage) and a tour of the brand new house, lead by Davina. From here on out, the show is dedicated to the new arrivals. One by one, all 12 housemates enter the building that could be their home for up to 10 weeks. There arrivals are accompanied by a short video that shows some of their more memorable audition moments and introduces them to the viewing public. When all 12 have begun their Reality TV journey, Davina announces plans for the following days task and in an added twist, the contestant that loses will not receive their suitcase, containing everything they wanted to take into the house, for as long as they remain in the game.
The 12 new contestants face their first task, live. And to their surprise, just two days into the show the housemates made their first votes. All of them voted for the person they wanted to see go without their suitcase for the duration of their stay in the house. Loose cannon Kitten, who refused to enter the house initially on launch night, continued her rebellious ways and refused to go to the diary room when asked to do so by Big Brother. The votes were counted, and it was Kitten who the housemates decided should go without her case. Back in the studio, Davina looked through her suitcase to see what she would be missing. In addition, she revealed the first eviction would happen on Day 8 of the show. She also announced some shocking plans for the eviction.
An hour long highlights programme, airing the most memorable moments from the first two days in the house. They include the contestant's entering their new home and their first night, in which they found the 'surprise' of having less beds than people, meaning that some would have to share. Marco speaks frankly to Kitten and says he thinks that one of the females, well, isn't. Brief clips from the task are also shown and after he 'protest', Victor promptly chats in the diary room, revealing that he 'doesn't like that bitch [Kitten]'. Later the same evening, the contestants have a round of mud wrestling and there was mass debate as to if Nadia's breasts were natural or implants. Intelligent Conversation prevails, then.
In the first of the half hour highlight shows in the series, a selection of the best moments from Day 3. They include extrovert Jason cooking the meal, with nothing but a chef's apron on and with his buttocks on full display, Kitten climbing the roof and looking at the surrounding area, despite Big Brother's rules and warnings. The housemates also set up a singing competition, with Jason and Vanessa acting as 'judges' for the occasion. Performances include Marco's unforgettable cover of a song from 'The Little Mermaid' movie and Nadia's rendition of 'Happy Birthday', for Big Brother.
The housemates continued their attempted rebelling, when Stuart came up with the idea of nominating the two housemates at the time that was right for them. Kitten then went on to nominate Big Sister and a statue for eviction. Meanwhile, Jason's new tradition of cooking naked continued with Shellie cooking dinner for the housemates in the nude.
Kitten continues to challenge Big Brother's authority when she pulls the alcohol fridge out from the kitchen and proceeds to try and remove the lock on it. Her actions result in a shocking and drastic statement to be made by Big Brother. It's the last straw for Victor and he doesn't hide his feelings of frustrations towards Kitten's increasingly childish actions. Meanwhile, Jason and Victor tell Ahmed he needs to ""Step Up"" or risk getting booted out of the house. Confused by what they mean, Jason explains to him how he needs to participate more in discussions and ""cause tension"" among his fellow contestants. No longer than 20 minutes after his advice, Ahmed follows through by confronting Marco and accusing him of being ""unfriendly"" towards him and declares that he didn't even greet him properly on the first night. Heavily effected by such comments, Marco visits the diary room in tears later the same evening.
In an especially extended episode, to cover all of Day 6's incredible action, Big Brother makes a shocking announcement that none of the contestants wants to hear. After writing offensive phrases on the mirror's as a ""protest"", Kitten is given a third warning. As explained to the housemates the previous day, such action would mean that one of the contestants would be evicted, and true to their promise, a statement was released to the contestants informing them a contestant will be evicted because of Kitten's actions. When and Who was not revealed. The shocking announcement causes a huge rift, and Emma promptly tells Kitten how selfish she feels she is being, and how she needs to take responsibility for her actions. Her comments are met with fierce rivalry from Kitten and she tells Emma she is naive for 'playing into Big Brother's hands' by blaming her.
After a night of fun and games, the housemates were reminded that Big Brother was in control. Big Brother had stated that one Housemate would be evicted because of Kitten's continuous rule breaking. And the evicted housemate was Kitten. But for the first time in Big Brother history, a housemate (Kitten) refused to leave the house, and Big Brother was forced to lower the Cash Price to £91,000 before she finally left the house. For Kitten's advantage, there was no crowd to greet her as she left the house, and was only forced to deal with the press.
The Saturday Night Task featured the 11 Housemates taking part in a task that could cost them to loose up to £9,000 of their Cash Price. The housemates were told to choose the most intelligent housemate (Stuart) and the strongest housemate (Jason). The remaining housemates were placed on a roundabout that was situated in the garden. Jason then began to spin the roundabout until Stuart answered a question correctly, and Stuart continued to chose one housemate to leave the roundabout every time he answered a question correctly. By the end of the task, Marco was sick while on the roundabout, with Shellie on the edge of sickness. And the housemates lost another £5,000 of their Cash Price, which now leaves them with £86,000.

Demanding more alcohol, better food and no eviction/nomination procedures, Kitten climbs onto the roof again. Vanessa, Daniel and Shell begin to air there feelings about Michelle and Stuart's romance in private to each other and all agree that they do not think Michelle's show of emotion and affection is genuine. "Part of her game plan", they suggest. An argument breaks out and sends a strong divide down the group when a party, provided for by Big Brother turns into a mass food fight amongst Stuart, Michelle, Emma, Marco and Nadia. Distinctly unimpressed by their antics, Daniel demands they clean up the mess, and along with Shell, Vanessa, Jason and Ahmed makes it clear he is angry at their "selfish and childlike" behaviour.
The Drama continued in the Big Brother house with yet another outburst between two of the Housemates, by Emma walking in on Victor on the toilet. Meanwhile, a relationship between Vanessa and Jason is slowly developing, but Vanessa is not sure where she wants it to go. And the housemates have begun their weekly task, which involves them running a 24 hour Burger Bar, under the name of Big Bro.
This Episode marked the Housemates first Nominations in the Big Brother House. But this week, Big Brother will create another twist, as the two housemates chosen to leave the house will go into a secret room and watch the housemates for 4 days, until they return back into the house. The housemates that are up for the 'Eviction with a twist' are, Ahmed, Emma and Michelle. Meanwhile, the housemates continued their Weekly Task at running a burger bar, and failed to deliver the correct order for the first time. As Michelle struggled to remember the order that Big Brother had given her. The housemates only have two more chances, before they fail the weekly task.
The housemates are told the results of the first nominations by Big Brother. Michelle takes the news badly and cries twice during the day, to be comforted by Nadia and Marco and later by her love interest Stuart. Ahmed confronts Marco about why he brought in 300 cigarettes to the house when he doesn't even smoke. When the group tries to explain that it was a thoughtful gesture, Ahmed begins complaining about passive smoking. Later in the evening, Jason discusses his tactics for the ten weeks with Victor and Stuart.
Ahmed completely loses his temper when the wake-up call [the sound of a car alarm going off] pushes him over the edge. In a fit of rage, he throws a stack of china plates, making them smash into hundreds of pieces all over the garden. After his show of 'emotion', he retires to the spa room and cries for 45 minutes. In an attempt to ease his troubled mind, Emma tries to comfort him and tells him his plate chucking antics reminded her of a "Spanish festival". Things get steamy by night when Emma, Shell and Michelle all have a topless mud wrestling championship. Victor, Jason and Marco also join in the games. Jason and Vanessa's relationship continues to grow, and Victor, Jason and Stuart joke about Ahmed's earlier inexplicable behaviour.

In a first for the UK Edition of Big Brother, a "fake" eviction was staged. Davina guides the viewers around what will become, for the two "evicted" contestants, their new home for as long as Big Brother decides, the Bedsit. A 70's styled and by anyone's standards, distinctly grotty, one-bedded room with a tiny kitchen and bathroom and little else. However, most importantly, the room contains a large plasma screen and two sets of headphones. The room's feature will allow the two inhabitants of the room to view all the action from the house, live. After the highlights package, Davina drops a bombshell on the unsuspecting housemates. Instead of one, she reveals to them two people will leave the house. Shocked and bemused by this new revelation, the group have precious few seconds to adjust before Davina announces the nominated contestants will have to wait an excruciating 30 minutes to learn of their fate.
The 9 remaining housemates get ready for their 3rd live Saturday task. The housemates were gathered in the living room where a housemate was told to read envelope 1 to the rest of the housemates. Marco read aloud and told his fellow housemates, that they had to pick four housemates to do a physical part of the challenge, and picked were; Vanessa, Jason, Stuart and Dan. Vanessa went to the diary room to confirm the housemates, and while taking another laminate out side the other housemates followed her. It was said that the remaining housemates must sit on a bench, while the chosen 4 were to divide them self's into pairs (Dan, Stuart, and Vanessa and Jason) On the grass was a trail of red cones, and at the end was a group of yellow circles. Reading a laminate, it was said that one housemate had to be wheelbarrowed over to the rings, and pick them up one at a time and back to start, with each pair taking it in turns.
Big Brother gets evil, with the introduction of the bedsit. Before the pending eviction, Michelle and Marco discuss their other contestants and who they think is ""playing a game"". They agree that Dan and Vanessa are doing just this. When a mistake with Davina's link to the house means the housemates overhear the word 'Bedsit' on Friday night, the whole group go into a frenzy. Theories about what will happen are going left, right and centre, including Jason's idea that two people will be evicted and then one voted back into the house. When the voting news comes, the housemates think Emma and Michelle are evicted, when really they are going to the bedsit. Over Excited by being in the bedsit, Emma's breasts constantly fall out of her top, to much amusement by the two girls. The following morning, they are set their first task. They must decide which of the 9 housemates they left behind should have to take a cold shower.
The bedsit duo, Emma and Michelle are set a task by Big Brother. They must pick one of their fellow housemates to receive cool showers. For all of the day, the housemate they pick will only ever receive cold water when they enter the shower. The girls pick Victor and watch with much delight as the London rude-boy gets increasingly stressed out as everyone else enjoys nice warm showers. In the evening, things get raunchy when after a week-long flirtation, Jason and Vanessa end up passionate kissing in the garden and bathroom. There fun soon ends when Marco's screams of excitement from witnessing the two's romance are heard by Jason.
