Big Brother Australia 2005

Big Brother Australia
 
 
Season 5 (2005)

Contents

Big Brother Australia 2005 was the fifth series of Big Brother Australia, and was aired on Network Ten in Australia, and TV-2 in New Zealand with a four-week delay. The series started on 8 May 2005, with housemates going into the House the day before, and finished on 15 August 2005, lasting 101 days. The theme of the series was "single, sexy, and competitive". Auditions for housemates were held in March 2005. In a departure from usual procedure, candidates were not required to send in videos of themselves as had been the case for prior auditions. Instead, the producers toured major Australian mainland cities and conducted interviews. They searched for sexy singles that were willing to have sexual relations on camera. Promos for the show suggested that Big Brother would be different this year, and phrases such as "Assume Nothing, Expect Anything", "Let's Play", and "Think Again" were heavily used throughout the series, especially during Opening Night.

Changes and additions

Fines

On Opening Night, it was revealed that $5,000 Australian dollars would be subtracted from the $1,000,000 prize money every time the housemates broke a rule. Such rules included discussing nominations, which must remain secret; not giving adequate reasons for nominating; and forgetting to wear microphones at all times. Michelle was known for being the housemate to get the most such fines: $65,000. Geneva had the least amount of fines $15,000, two in the early days at the house and one near the end of her eviction.

The Logans

It was also revealed that twins would be entering the House, regularly changing places without being informed of what the other twin had done while in the House. Greg and David entered the House as a single person named Logan (their shared middle name). Their task was to remain undetected for two weeks while swapping places at Big Brother's command.

The secret of the twins was discovered one week into the series by housemate Glenn, and this was revealed during Lies Exposed. As a result, both Logans were able to continue living in the House, but would be treated as a single person in matters such as evictions and nominations. Late in the series a special eviction was held where one twin was evicted based on the votes of the other housemates, and the remaining twin allowed to continue in the House as a normal housemate. During this eviction process David was evicted. However, because Greg was the last housemate to be evicted, both David and Greg shared the prize equally.

Logan

Identical twins David and Greg Mathew, known as Logan David and Logan Greg respectively while in the House, were treated as a single entity in Nominations, Evictions, and Friday Night Live, and as potential winners of the season. On launch night, David entered the Big Brother House (with his bio stating he was a 23 year old plumber), while Greg entered and stayed in the Isolation Room. They go by the name Logan because that is their shared middle name. They started the series as a single housemate and swapped places when Big Brother would call them into the diary room. This lasted until the other house mates figured out they were in fact two people, after an injury to one twin did not show on the other in a swap. This resulted in Big Brother deciding to make the other housemates to evict a twin on day 75. David was evicted, and Greg stayed. Greg eventually won Big Brother over Tim, but him and David were considered joint winners.

Nomination Notes

^1 Constance, Dean, and Nelson were automatically Nominated by Big Brother after it was discovered that they lied to Big Brother during the Audition Process.
^2 Dean was Banned from Nominating and put up for the Public Vote by Big Brother for lying during the casting process.
^3 Intruders Rachael and Vesna were Exempt from the Nomination process this Week.
^4 New intruders Heath, Melanie, and Rita faced the Housemate Vote. Each Housemate voted for one Housemate they wanted to stay in the House. Heath and Melanie received the least support with two votes each and then faced the public vote. The public chose to evict Heath, although the percentage for this eviction was not made Public.
^5 All throughout the competition identical twin brothers David and Greg had been competing as one Housemate under their shared middle name of Logan (nominating and being nominated together, as well as being a single entity in the FNL and Eviction process). On Day 75 Big Brother decided to evict a Logan twin. Each Housemate chose one of them to evict, and with the most votes (four) David was Evicted. Greg remained in the House as a single Housemate.
^6 Despite there being nominations, they were cancelled and all housemates were automatically Nominated by Big Brother this week, which was to culminate in a double Eviction. Logan won Friday Night Live (FNL) but there was no Three Point Twist. Had the eviction had gone through with the nominations counting, Christie, Kate, and Rita would have been up for the public vote. The following voting percentages shows Rita being evicted with 36% out of 7 housemates and Christie being evicted with 39% out of 6 housemates.

Live Surprise

"Live Surprise" was a live show broadcast on Day 2. During this show, the Logan twins swapped places with each other for the first time. They were given two minutes in the Diary Room to exchange as much information as possible, and Greg then had to go to the Isolation Room while David went into the Big Brother House. The Daily Show was broadcast as a part of Live Surprise.

Lies Exposed

"Lies Exposed" was a show broadcast on Day 8. After Glenn's discovery that Logan was in fact two twins, this was revealed to all of the housemates. Before this, Constance, Dean, and Nelson were all evicted to the Punishment Room; and were told their fate by Big Brother.

Viewers Verdict

"Viewers Verdict" was a live show broadcast on Day 10. This special was aired because Constance, Dean, and Nelson, had all lied about their relationship status. A public vote was held, that was started on Day 9 and was closed during the show, minutes before two of these housemates who had broken the rules were evicted. Constance and Nelson were evicted in this show, and were reunited with their partners. They both had separate eviction interviews with Gretel, and were both told that because they had deceived Big Brother, they would receive no prizes. Dean was safe, but Big Brother still punished him by banning from nominations and by putting him up for the public vote next week.

Housemates: Incoming!

"Housemates: Incoming!" was a live show broadcast during Day 25, where replacement housemates Rachael and Vesna were introduced to the public and put in the House.

Intruders Arrive

"Intruders Arrive" was a live show broadcast on Day 53, where Intruders Heath, Rita, and Melanie entered the Big Brother House.

The housemates were given 1 minute 30 seconds to discuss amongst themselves which of the new Intruders, Heath, Melanie, and Rita, they wanted to keep. They decided to keep Rita, so Heath and Melanie were put up for eviction. As the public SMS vote started and finished during the show, lasting only twenty minutes, viewers in Western Australia, South Australia, and the Northern Territory were not able to vote as television shows in Australia are broadcast with a delay depending on the state to compensate for differences in Australian time zones. Heath received the most votes and was evicted.
