The Big Red Phone
On Day 23 (March 19, 2007), a large red telephone was placed inside the House. It was announced the day before that the phone would ring in different instances, and each call would inform the housemate who would answer the call of a different reward or punishment. The housemate who would answer each call would receive any of the following news:
- 1st Call (Day 23): Staying in the sun for a day and no baths for two days (received by Ezekiel)
- 2nd Call (Day 23): Haircut, facial massage, and "full body foot massage" (received by Mickey)
- 3rd Call (Day 25): The granting of any one wish, regardless of the result of any task (received by Bodie, who ordered pizza)
- 4th Call (Day 25): A 60-second shopping spree in the Storage Room (received by Dionne)
- 5th Call (Day 26): Being the "pet of the day" (received by Nel)
- 6th Call (Day 27): The power to change the second set of nominees (received by Wendy, who retained the set of nominees as is)
- 7th Call (Day 29): Automatic nomination (received by Beatriz)
- 8th Call (Day 32): A secret date with another housemate (received by Bruce, who chose Wendy to be his date)
- 9th Call (Day 44): Playing Sadako of the Japanese movie Ring and living in a well for a day (received by Kian)
- 10th Call (Day 45): Walking around blindfolded for a day without any help from the others (received by Gee-Ann)
- 11th Call (Day 45): A chance to conquer one's fear (received by Saicy whose fear is snakes)
- 12th Call (Day 62): Shaving one's eyebrow (received by Robert, who had his right eyebrow shaved in exchange for an operation on a hare-lipped child)
- 13th Call (Day 65): A kiss of Judas—i.e. the recipient of the call kisses a housemate, who in turn gains an automatic nomination (received by Mickey, who kissed Saicy; this is supposedly for Maricris, the only one not to receive a call, but since she was evicted forcibly, Big Brother allowed any of the remaining housemates still inside to pick up the phone, even though they already answered it)
