Template:Big Brother housemates Big Brother 2010 is the current, eleventh series of the British reality television series, Big Brother. On 26 August 2009 Channel 4 announced that the eleventh series will be the last to be broadcast on this channel.[1] The series launched on Wednesday 9 June 2010[2], and will be broadcast on Channel 4 and E4 throughout the summer. Big Brother 2010 is produced by Remarkable Pictures, a division of Endemol. This series of the programme has been confirmed since 2006 as part of a £180 million contract between Endemol and Channel 4.[3] The series is sponsored by skincare brand Freederm.[4] The 24 hour live streaming has been reinstated and is available via the website as a fee-based service. [5]
Production
Open auditions for the final series, Big Brother 2010, took place in Manchester on 15–16 January 2010, in Dublin on 19 January 2010, in Cardiff on 23 January 2010, in Glasgow on 30 January 2010 and in London on 6–7 February 2010.[6] On 10 May, the CBB7 website was replaced with a BB11 mini-site updated with 23 pictures of BB11's new trailer. The trailer aired on Channel 4 during The Million Pound Drop on the 24th May. The trailer features 30 ex housemates from the past 10 series of Big Brother attending a funeral of the infamous Diary Room Chair. On 14 May, it was announced on the BB11 mini-site that Emma Willis would be joining the current presenter of Big Brother's Little Brother, George Lamb, as co-host for the series.[7] On 17 May ad bumpers featuring the falling flowers began showing on Channel 4. To celebrate the final series of Big Brother, Davina McCall has hosted a special programme, Big Brother's Big Awards Show,[8] where the British public has bestowed accolades upon memorable housemates from the previous series. This special was aired on E4 on 22 May. A further programme, Big Brother Exposed: The Inside Story,[9] aired on 28 May on E4, brought viewers highlights of the past ten series. On 21 May, Channel 4 unveiled the floral-themed eye logo for this summer's series of Big Brother.[10] The logo, which is made up of hundreds of brightly coloured flowers, is said to be a tribute to the eleven years of summer entertainment that show's fans have enjoyed since its debut, in 2000.[11]
House
Since Big Brother 2002, the programme has been filmed at Elstree Studios in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire. The first aerial pictures of the House were released by the Daily Star magazine[citation needed] as early as Mid-May. On 5 June, the interior of the House was released. Rooms revealed were the entrance, living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and the garden. The final Big Brother House is considered[by whom?] the most luxurious and least private. The House is mainly walled with floral designs on glass, similar to series seven. The entrance has a heaven theme, but has been revamped to one staircase rather than the previous two staircases. The diary room is tucked on the right hand side. Upon entering the living room, there is one large red sofa with a red/black theme. In contrast to the kitchen and bathroom's modern effect, the bedroom consisted of a Salvador Dali design in the beds. The garden kept up the carnival theme, including a carousel. A snug was also built for the housemates to lounge and chat, and in addition, a mini pool/tub. [12]
Format
The theme for this series is carnival. Like always, housemates entered the House with no contact with the outside world. Each week, the housemates took part in a compulsory task that determined the amount of money they were allocated to spend on their shopping; if they passed, they received a luxury budget and they were allocated a basic budget if they failed. Housemates nominated two housemates for eviction every week. In a new nominations twist revealed on Day 6, the nominated housemates are allowed to escape nominations with a weekly challenge. The winner of the challenge is exempt from nominations, however, they must replace themselves with another housemate of their choice for eviction. This nominations twist that is held every week is similar to the Power of Veto from the American version of Big Brother.
Housemates
On Day 1, eighty-one hopefuls arrived at the entrance of the House – seventy-nine of which have been revealed before the series begun.[13] Only fourteen housemates were selected to enter out of all candidates. The first thirteen were selected by Big Brother, and the fourteenth housemate was selected by a random draw.[14]

Summary
On launch night, eighty-one potential housemates stood near the crowd, with only thirteen housemates waiting to find out who would enter by Big Brother live. The final fourteenth housemate to enter was chosen by a random draw held by Davina.[14] Mario won the random draw, however, Big Brother set him an "Impossible Task" upon entry. He was forced to work undercover as a mole, interfering with the House in a forced discretion for four days. If the majority of the housemates suspected him as a mole, Mario would receive an immediate eviction. He entered the House with a mole suit and a sign saying "I am a Mole" to draw housemates to fast suspicions. In the later hours, Mario got access to the Mole Hole, his living quarters located in a door at the garden.[15] Mario's first task was to blow up a beachball, write messages on it and throw it into the garden for another housemate to find. Then, he had to throw all of the vegetables and bread in the pool on Day 2 and cut up somebody's cigarettes on Day 3. For his final secret mission on Day 4, he had to use the screwdriver to unscrew an air vent, leading to the kitchen. He destroyed a feast prepared for the rest of the housemates' Hawaiian party, won from the "Getting to Know You" quiz. Mario successfully completed all four secret missions, however, in the evening, Big Brother confirmed that there was a mole in the House. All housemates including Mario then voted on the person they thought was the mole. Ben, Caoimhe, Dave, Govan, John James, Josie, Mario, Nathan, Shabby, and Steve voted for Sunshine. Corin and Ife voted for Mario. Rachael voted for Steve, and Sunshine voted for Ben. As the majority did not identify Mario as the mole, Mario was allowed to stay in the House as an official housemate.[16]
