Weekly Summary

Week 1 Tasks
  • The "unlucky thirteenth" housemate was chosen randomly on Day One as Makosi, when she was first to respond to a call by Big Brother for "a housemate" to go to the diary room. Makosi was told she would automatically be up for eviction that week unless she managed to get the most nominations from her housemates, in which case she had to nominate two people for eviction. She was to keep this task secret. Makosi succeeded in her secret mission and chose Craig and Mary to be up for eviction on 3 June 2005. Mary was the viewers' choice for eviction.
  • On Day 3, housemates had to paint portraits of each other, to hang in the living area.
  • On Day 4, housemates had to each perform a rap about each other to win Mary a birthday party and earlier paint each other.

  • Mary was evicted on Day 8.
Week 2 Tasks
  • On Day 9, housemates had to participate in a counting task where each housemate had to count as high as they could while being interrupted by Big Brother. Saskia won the task and won the chance to become Big Brother for a week. She was allowed to watch people's Diary Room sessions, create punishments, and fill or reject housemate requests.
  • On Day 12, housemates had to participate in the "Big Brother Hospital Task." Roberto was randomly chosen to become the head doctor and chose Saskia, Science, and Vanessa as his nurses. Every other housemate was diagnosed with a problem and had to follow the rules of their injuries. Kemal, Lesley, Makosi and Vanessa didn't wear their hospital outfits on the third day and failed the task. Due to this, the house received a basic shopping budget for the next week.
Punishments
  • Maxwell was given some underwear after requesting some from Big Brother. He was unhappy with the underwear he was given and burned them with a lighter. The next day, he was forced to wear a baby's outfit and sit on "The Naughty Step" for three hours.
  • In a conversation together, Lesley and Vanessa broke the game rules by discussing whom she would be nominating. Although the nominations still took place, Big Brother decided to ignore the results and ruled that, for the first time in the UK series, every housemate would be up for eviction.
Exits
  • Lesley was evicted on Day 15.
Week 3 Tasks
  • On Day 16, the housemates participated in the Box Task. Each housemate had to sit in a cardboard box for as long as they could. The winner of the task received luxury meals and an unlimited supply of wine for the week. After 26 hours and 16 minutes, Anthony, Derek, and Roberto were announced as the joint-winners of the task.
  • On Day 18, for the shopping task, housemates had to participate in a Pirate Task. All housemates besides the captain had to do various tasks involving being a pirate and were only allowed two fails per day. Science was randomly chosen as the captain. The housemates failed the task by incurring a total of 28 fails in three days.
  • On Day 20, Big Brother held a speed dating task. Big Brother paired each housemate with three other housemates and they had to go on 2 minute dates with each of them.
  • On Day 22, Science requested toilet paper. Big Brother gave him a secret task. He was told that for every housemate that he slapped on the bottom, he would receive one roll of toilet paper. Science slapped everyone but Anthony, Derek, and Maxwell and received seven rolls.
Punishments
  • On Day 16, during the box task, Kemal put a dirty toilet brush into Roberto's box and was punished by having to sit on the Naughty Step for two hours.
  • Craig, Derek and Roberto were banned from nominating after talking about the nomination procedure, breaking a key rule. Clips of their discussions (mainly concerning Saskia) were played into the house via the plasma screen in the living room. Craig left the room during the clips.
Exits

Week 4 Tasks
  • On Day 23, the housemates participated in the "Chicken and Egg Task." Each housemate had to dress in a chicken suit and was required to keep one hand on an egg at all times. Makosi was the only housemate to fail the task and the rest of the housemates were given a party.
  • On Day 24, Big Brother set the housemates the Room 101 task. Maxwell selected himself to be worker number one, automatically making him the unlucky worker. Maxwell was assigned to disgusting tasks such as sorting maggots. The true task was for the other housemates to convince Maxwell that they were all doing the same tasks that he was performing whilst in reality living in luxury. The housemates passed the task and won a luxury budget.
  • On Day 27, Derek requested cigars and was given a secret mission to receive them. For every housemate that kissed him, he would receive one cigar. He received a kiss from every housemate, but because Saskia figured out it was a secret mission and told Science about it, he only received seven cigars.
Punishments
  • On Day 24, Vanessa was initially supposed to be the unlucky housemate in the Room 101 task, but backed out and Maxwell took her spot. After it was revealed that they passed the task, Vanessa was told that she was not allowed to eat anything that was bought on the shopping budget and instead she would eat three meals a day given to her by Big Brother.
Exits
  • Roberto was evicted on Day 29.
Week 5 Tasks
  • On Day 30, less than 24 hours after Kinga, Eugene and Orlaith had entered the Secret Garden, a red button appeared in the main house. Makosi pressed the button and was immediately called to the Diary Room. She entered the Secret Garden, met Kinga, Eugene and Orlaith, and was instructed to help them by stealing food and other supplies from the main house. If she failed to do so or was discovered by her fellow housemates, she would be automatically put up for the public vote. Makosi was successful in her task.
  • Before completing the task, Makosi had to evict one housemate from the secret garden – she chose Kinga who later returned to the Big Brother house on Day 66 to replace Orlaith who walked a day earlier.
  • On Day 34, the housemates had to put on "Romeo and Juliet: The Ballet." Anthony played the role of Romeo and Orlaith played the role of Juliet. They correctly reenacted the ballet and received a luxury shopping budget for the week.
Punishments
  • For the third time, nominations had been discussed, this time between Maxwell and Anthony, so they were banned from nominating.
Exits
  • Saskia was evicted on Day 36.
Week 6 Tasks
  • On Day 37, the housemates were given a crying task. The housemates had to fill up one teaspoon with tears. The housemates passed the task and were rewarded with a luxury meal.
  • On Day 38, Big Brother sent the housemates on "holiday" as part of their shopping task. Vanessa was randomly chosen to become the main "Holiday Rep." She chose Makosi and Orlaith to be her assistants. The Holiday Reps had to do everything in their power to make the other housemates have an enjoyable holiday. The reps had to cook all food for the housemates, start conga lines at random times of the day, organize beauty contests, and clean the house. The house incurred a total of 10 fails in three days, and therefore failed the shopping task.
  • On Day 40, Eugene was on a secret mission to mimic the first person that asked him a question. Because Makosi was the first one to ask him a question, he had to mimic her. But Makosi figured out that Eugene was mimicking her and he failed the task.
  • On Day 41, the housemates were given a Mass Debating task. Maxwell and Science had to choose teams and the teams had to write speeches about why their chosen housemate should stay in the house. Maxwell chose Anthony, Derek, Kemal, and Orlaith for his team. Science chose Craig, Eugene, Makosi, and Vanessa for his team. Because Maxwell was evicted on Friday, Team Science received a party.
Exits
  • Maxwell was evicted on Day 43.
Week 7 Tasks
  • Big Brother played mind games with the housemates, informing them that during the week Big Brother would lie twice. Big Brother then told housemates that nominations that week were optional. This was Big Brother's first lie. All nominations are compulsory, so the housemates who did not nominate were put to the public vote as punishment. When the results of the nominations were announced Big Brother stated that Anthony, Craig and Kemal were up for eviction. This was Big Brother's second lie. In fact, these three were the only housemates to nominate, so it was everyone else who was subject to the public vote.
Exits
  • The housemates had to pick whom to evict out of the two people with the most votes. These turned out to be Makosi and Vanessa, with Makosi receiving the largest percentage of votes. Six of the seven housemates chose to evict Vanessa, with only her close friend Kemal voting to evict Makosi, meaning Vanessa was evicted on Day 50.
Week 8 Tasks
  • On Day 52, the housemates were given a singing task. The housemates have to communicate by singing. They succeeded and rewarded with a tennis court and equipment in the garden.
  • On Day 53, The housemates had to become dogs and dog trainers. They failed this task because of numerous fails and because Science ran away from his owner, Kemal.
Exits
  • Science was evicted On Day 57.
Week 9 Tasks
  • The housemates were given a secret agent task to complete. Kemal was randomly being selected to be a double agent for this task. The housemates failed to realise this, so passed the task. Derek, who they thought was the Double Agent, was sent into hiding overnight.
Exits
  • Kemal was evicted on Day 64.
Week 10 Tasks
  • On Day 66, Kinga entered the house as Orlaith's replacement. As she was sent in, she was told that if she got at least one person to not nominate her this week, she will be immune from eviction and definitely be in the house for the final week and will be eligible to win. She managed to pass the task easily, receiving no nominations at all.
Exits
  • Orlaith walked voluntarily on Day 65. Derek was evicted on Day 71.
Week 11 Tasks
  • About one hour after Craig was evicted, Big Brother called a housemate to the Diary Room and Eugene was first to respond. He sat down behind a suitcase containing £50,000 in cash - half the actual winner's prize money. Big Brother told him he had the option of winning this half of the prize, leaving the other half for the winner. Big Brother told the remaining housemates that if he turned down the money, the prize money would double to £200,000. Eugene was given one minute to make to his decision while he was watched on screen by the rest of the housemates. After about 50 seconds, Eugene had made his decision and chose to take the £50,000.
Exits
  • On Day 76, during dinner, Craig was evicted in a surprise mid-week eviction, for being the housemate to have received the least votes (only 3.9%) from the public to win Big Brother on Wednesday evening.
  • On Day 78, the final, Kinga received the least number of public votes (4.1% of the four-way total) and came in 4th place. Makosi came third with 8.7% of the three-way vote. Eugene was next to leave, coming second with 42.7% of the final two-way vote. With 57.3% of the two-way vote, Anthony was the winner of Big Brother 2005.

Famous quotes containing the words weekly and/or summary:

    If you are one of the hewers of wood and drawers of small weekly paychecks, your letters will have to contain some few items of news or they will be accounted dry stuff.... But if you happen to be of a literary turn of mind, or are, in any way, likely to become famous, you may settle down to an afternoon of letter-writing on nothing more sprightly in the way of news than the shifting of the wind from south to south-east.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    I have simplified my politics into an utter detestation of all existing governments; and, as it is the shortest and most agreeable and summary feeling imaginable, the first moment of an universal republic would convert me into an advocate for single and uncontradicted despotism. The fact is, riches are power, and poverty is slavery all over the earth, and one sort of establishment is no better, nor worse, for a people than another.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
