Big Brother 2003 (UK)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Big Brother 4 in 2003 was the fourth series of Big Brother in the UK, a reality show shown on Channel 4 in which a number of contestants live in an isolated house trying to avoid being evicted by the public with the aim of winning a large cash prize at the end of the run.The series ran from Friday 23 May to Friday 25 July 2003.

The fourth series saw several surprises. Four housemates were nominated on the opening night after the housemates were told to make instant nominations based on first impressions, with every housemate receiving even one nomination facing the public vote; of the four, Anouska was evicted one week later. One housemate, Cameron Stout, accepted a challenge from Big Brother and discovered it meant spending a week in the Big Brother Africa house (one of the African housemates, Gaetano, spent some time in the UK house in return). There was a surprise double eviction, new housemate, and return by evicted housemate Jon Tickle for the last two weeks (he was not eligible to win, though he opted not to tell his housemates this). The biggest surprise was unplanned: a bomb scare led to the evacuation of the housemates for several hours.

The £70,000 prize was eventually won by Cameron. Several housemates later had presenting or acting jobs.

The reaction to this series was poor, the press and viewers finding the housemates boring. Endemol turned "evil" and selected more extreme housemates the next year.

After Big Brother, Cameron Stout, Jon Tickle and Ray Shah went on to have successful careers in the media industry. Cameron Stout is an occasional columnist with The Sunday Post newspaper and has appeared in panto in Aberdeen, Jon Tickle co-presents Brainiac: Science Abuse on UK television's Sky One, now in its fourth series and Ray Shah now works in the radio, television and entertainment industry in Ireland. He presents radio shows on Dublin's Q102 and TV shows on City Channel. Ray also works as a club DJ playing at venues around Ireland.

In a poll aired on E4 on May 13 2006, Gos was voted the least popular housemate of all time.

Total number of votes in the final week: 4.3 million

[edit] Notes

Note 1: All housemates had to nominate one fellow housemate on Day 1, only a short while after they had entered the house. Every housemate who received a nomination faced eviction.
Note 2: In Week 4, there was a "double eviction".
Note 3: Cameron made his nominations from the Big Brother House in South Africa over the phone to Gaetano. Even though he was allowed to nominate, nobody could nominate him.
Note 4: As Lisa had only entered the house a couple of days earlier, she was exempt from nominations. As Cameron had only recently returned to the house from South Africa, he was allowed to nominate, but not be nominated. On Day 43, the night the eviction was supposed to be on, a bomb scare forced all housemates to be evacuated. The eviction, therefore, happened the next day, on Day 44 (a Saturday). When Gos was evicted, there was no crowd outside due to Health & Safety precautions.
Note 5: Ray, as leader of the house in Week 7, had to choose the three housemates to face eviction. When Lisa was evicted, Federico, Gos, Jon, Justine, Lisa and Sissy, had the opportunity to be a guest in the Big Brother house. Anouska couldn't go back because she was a guest in the Big Brother Australian house. Tania didn't want to go back into the Big Brother house. The public voted for Jon to go back in, but he wasn't eligible to win.
Note 6: Because Jon was a guest in the house, and was not eligible to win, he was exempt from nominations.
Note 7: There were no nominations in the final week.
