Big Brother 18 (UK) (also known as "The United Kingdom of Big Brother") is the 18th series of Big Brother (UK).

Background[]

Casting[]

A rumor which would later become true, would be the first time that you must audition as pairs. There will be no individual applicants, you must audition with a partner. After the audition, they may or not split you from your partner if you move on.[1] The rumor about pairs was confirmed during Celebrity Big Brother 19 when Emma Willis announced that they were looking for pairs.

Eye[]

The eye was revealed on Thursday 11th, May 2017 [2] on Twitter. The theme was revealed to be a Best of British theme will a political battle to the top with words like "immigrants and polling place" rather than the original "nominate and evict". The motto of the series is "The United Kingdom of Big Brother… and everyone is welcome."[3]

Airing[]

The series launched on June 5th with a two-hour episode. This season will feature live feeds after each eviction after a 90-minute eviction episode.

House[]

BBUK18 Houseplan

The New House Plan

The house was revealed on May 31, 2017. The house was shown to have a British theme with a new construction of the house after pictures were leaked in April.[4]. During the house reveal, it was discovered that there would be two bedrooms for the first time since Big Brother 9 (UK) in 2008.[5]In addition, it will be the first time since the move to Channel 5 in 2011 that the kitchen would be separated from the living room. This house was called "The Big Brother Village" and features a village design.

Housemate Reveal[]

Unlike the usual launch night reveal, on June 2, 2017, six housemates were revealed to the public.[6] This is the first time since Big Brother 16 (UK) that housemates have been revealed before the series launched.

Twists[]

  • People's Housemate: For the first time in history, one housemate selected from four individual candidates will serve as the people's housemate. That housemate will openly communicate to the outside world to make decisions while overruling the house.
  • Additional Housemates: Due to three extra housemates leaving the house, two females and one male will enter the house for a chance to stay in the house.
  • Housemates Choose New Housemates: Building on above, existing housemates will get to choose from all three new housemates of which two they would like to stay in the house.
  • Second Chance Housemates: Due to the ejections and walkers, all the previous potential housemates were given a chance to enter the house.
  • Stolen Prize fund: After entering the house, it was revealed that the second chance housemates were not allowed to win. However, as a result, £15,000 has been removed from the normal housemates' prize fund for a second prize for the second chancer that makes it the furthest.
  • The Hunt: A series of games instead of nominations where the losers faced the next eviction. On Day 37, Chanelle became the first victim of The Hunt, and Simone became the second. This continued on Day 38, where Isabelle and Sue became the third and fourth victims of The Hunt respectively.
  • The Steal: During Week 7, housemates were divided up in two different teams competing for £20,000 out of the Prize Fund. After two days, £18,810 was collected by the two teams. Since the Gold Team won the most, all members had to chance to claim all the money for themselves and as a result, evict one housemate from the house. Andrew claimed the money and evicted Sam.
