Mini Big Brother

To go home, go to Home



Introduction
On Launch Night, 8 Housemates entered the newly renovated and reduced (in size) Big Brother House. Since this season was called Mini Big Brother, only 8 Housemates entered the house and it ran for 35 Days. The first eviction took place on Day 11, to allow the Public to get to know the Housemates better since they would be deciding a winner with very few Housemates to choose from. This season, the House was much smaller (about 2x smaller than the BB3 House). Also, for the first time since opening the new Big Brother House, the DR moved. It was placed on the first landing of the stairs, making the stairs somewhat accessible. The HMs that placed 1st - 3rd all won a spot in Celebrity Big Brother 4. The prize for Mini Big Brother was $500,000 and an Immunity Pass for Week 1 of CBB4.

Twists

 * "Fake Housemates?" - Launch Night - Two ex-HMs - Lara (Runner-Up of BB2) and Ryan Reynolds (Runner-Up of CBB2) - entered the house with the new HMs and stayed until Day 5. They were to convince the HMs that they were permanent and would be competing against them. They were able to nominate and could only do so based on who they believed didn't deserve to win.
 * "Taken From The Game" - Round 2, Day 12 - Big Brother placed stairs in the garden and the first HM to climb them was hidden in the Secret Cubby. This HM, Louisa, could not nominate, but she could be nominated. On Day 15, she returned to the house and was told that the next eviction was on Day 16 and the Final was on Day 18.
 * "Vote For Safety" - Round 2, Day 13 - HMs thought they were nominating normally, but it was revealed afterwards that the HM with the most nomination points was safe from eviction and made it to the Final. HMs only gave one name to nominate.
