'''''Big Brother Australia 2007''''' is the seventh season of the [[Australia]]n [[reality television]] series '''''[[Big Brother Australia]]'''''. Episodes are broadcast on [[Network Ten]] in Australia, and the first episode aired on [[April 22]], [[2007]].

'''Scott Charles Bigelow''' ([[September 1]] [[1961]] &ndash; [[January 19]] [[2007]]) was an [[United States|American]] [[professional Wrestling|professional wrestler]], best known by the [[stage name]] ''' Bam Bam Bigelow'''. His most recognizable feature was a [[tattoo]] that spanned most of his bald head.

Auditions were held throughout November and December 2006, taking place in [[Brisbane]], [[Sydney]], [[Melbourne]], [[Adelaide]], [[Perth, Western Australia|Perth]] and [[Darwin, Northern Territory|Darwin]].

==Career==

The 2007 launch had the smallest ever opening night audience in all seven Big Brother Australia series, and a 14% drop from last year's opening night. [[Network Ten]] came second overall but lost the night to [[Nine Network]]'s ''[[60 Minutes (Australia)|60 Minutes]]''. With an average of 1.549 million viewers, the opening night was nevertheless Ten's best Sunday night of the year.<ref>

===Early career===

{{cite web

Bigelow was trained as a pro wrestler at Larry Sharpe's "Monster Factory" in Gloucestor Township, New Jersey. He debuted in [[Memphis, Tennessee]] in 1985. Moving on from the Memphis promotion, Bigelow adopted various [[ring name]]s before settling on '''Bam Bam Bigelow'''.

===World Wrestling Federation===

{{TOClimit|limit=2}}

In late 1987, he signed with the [[World Wrestling Entertainment|World Wrestling Federation]]. The storyline upon his debut was that the various heel managers were all vying for Bigelow's services. The angle was thus called "The Battle for Bam Bam". Bigelow in the end wound up a [[Face (professional wrestling)|babyface]] when he denounced all the heel managers and announced that his manager was going to be [[Oliver Humperdink]]. His first WWF encounters were with [[Nikolai Volkoff]] and his jilted manager [[Ken Johnson (wrestling)|Slick]]. Bigelow wrestled as a part of [[Hulk Hogan]]'s team at the first [[Survivor Series (1987)|Survivor Series 1987]], in which he survived longer than even Hogan (the industry's top draw at the time). He eliminated both [[King Kong Bundy]] and the [[George Gray (wrestler)|One Man Gang]], but eventually lost to sole survivor [[André the Giant]]. He wrestled in the WWF for one year before leaving to have surgery on a badly injured knee. Despite this injury, he performed anyway to elevate the status of his co-performers (a customary show of professionalism in the industry). Bigelow lost by count-out to the One Man Gang in the first round of [[WrestleMania IV]]'s WWF Heavyweight Championship tournament.

===Independent circuit===

== Changes to the format ==

Bigelow briefly re-emerged with the NWA-branded [[Jim Crockett Promotions]] in late 1988 and was immediately set up to challenge [[Barry Windham]] for the [[NWA United States Heavyweight Championship]]. After this brief stay, he went to [[Japan]] to work for the legendary [[Antonio Inoki]]'s [[New Japan Pro Wrestling]]. Here, he formed a [[tag team]] with [[Leon White|Big Van Vader]], winning the [[IWGP World Tag Team Championship]]. In 1992 he left New Japan, preforming for several other Japanese [[professional wrestling promotion|promotions]], like [[WAR (wrestling promotion)|WAR]].

''Big Brother 2007'' introduced several new elements not seen in previous seasons of the series.

===World Wrestling Federation===

=== Big Brother Starburst Golden Key ===

In late 1992, Bigelow returned to the WWF, defeating [[Ray Traylor|The Big Boss Man]] at the [[Royal Rumble (1993)|1993 Royal Rumble]]. That June, Bigelow made it to the finals of the [[King of the Ring#1993|1993 King of the Ring]], losing in a match to [[Bret Hart]]. [[Gertrude Vachon|Luna Vachon]] was brought in at this time as Bam Bam's love interest and manager. Bigelow went on to [[Feud (professional wrestling)|feud]] with [[Chris Chavis|Tatanka]] and [[Doink the Clown]]; he lost to Tatanka at the [[Royal Rumble (1994)|1994 Royal Rumble]] and teamed with Luna to defeat Doink and [[Claude Giroux (wrestler)|Dink]] at [[WrestleMania X]]. In mid-1994, he was made part of [[Ted DiBiase]]'s '''[[Million Dollar Corporation]]''' faction, often teamed-up with fellow Corporation members [[Mike Rotunda|Irwin R. Schyster]] and (a now heel) Tatanka. Bigelow also survived a high profile Survivor Series-style match, with Corporation member [[King Kong Bundy]], at the [[Survivor Series (1994)|1994 Survivor Series]]; they faced [[Lex Luger]]'s "Guts and Glory" team.

On [[January 29]] [[2007]], [[Network Ten]], [[Endemol Southern Star]], and [[Mars, Incorporated|Masterfoods]] announced ''"Australia's biggest ever integrated television promotion"'', the Big Brother Starburst Golden Key, which would allow a member of the public to enter the Big Brother House as a housemate.<ref name="Golden Key">"[http://www.tencorporate.com.au/library/documents/TEN,%20ESS%20&%20Masterfoods%20announce%20BB%20Golden%20Key%2029%20January%202007.pdf Starburst Golden Key Promotion announcement]", ''[[Network Ten|Network TEN]]'', [[2007-01-29]]. Retrieved on [[2007-02-14]].</ref>

Yet another unconventional storyline was bestowed upon Bigelow. After Bigelow and Tatanka lost in the finals of a [[World Tag Team Championship (WWE)|WWF Tag Team Championship]] tournament to [[Bob Holly]] and the [[Sean Waltman|1-2-3 Kid]] at the [[Royal Rumble (1995)|1995 Royal Rumble]], Bigelow was mocked at ringside by former [[New York Giants]] [[Pro Bowl|All-Pro]] [[linebacker]] [[Lawrence Taylor]]. Bam Bam fought back, shoving "L.T." at ringside, and was soon engaged in a highly-publicized feud with the famous ex-football player. Bigelow was defeated by Taylor in the co-main event at [[WrestleMania XI]]. Shortly thereafter, Bigelow was turned babyface, publicly quitting the Million Dollar Corporation. He was teamed with then-[[WWE Championship|WWF Champion]] [[Kevin Nash|Diesel]] at the [[King of the Ring#1995|1995 King of the Ring]]; they defeated Corporation members Tatanka and [[Sid Eudy|Sycho Sid]].

Unique alphanumeric codes were included in packs of [[Starburst (confectionery)|Starburst]], a confectionery manufactured by Masterfoods. One hundred codes gave the opportunity to audition for the BB season after it began. Of these people, one would become a housemate and be eligible to win the season and all prizes. <ref name="Golden Key" /> The winner of this competition was selected during a special episode called [[#Golden Key|"Golden Key"]]. On Day 18, [[Big_Brother_Australia_2007#Nick|Nick Sady]] was the ''"Golden Key"'' winner and entered the Big Brother house.

===Extreme Championship Wrestling===

===Prize money===

After rumored problems backstage with [[Clique (professional wrestling)|the Kliq]], Bigelow left the WWF in 1995 and made a few appearances in the original, independent version of [[Extreme Championship Wrestling]] in early 1996, feuding with [[Tazz|Taz]]. On [[November 17]] [[1996]], Bigelow competed in a "U-Japan" [[mixed martial arts]] event against [[Kimo Leopoldo]]. Bigelow was dominated throughout the match, being [[Mount (grappling)|mounted]] within the first 10 seconds. He lost to a [[rear naked choke]] in the first round. <ref>[http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/fightfinder.asp?search=yes&FighterID=1988 Bigelow at Sherdog.com]</reF> In a shoot interview he did a few years ago he stated that the match with Kimo Leopoldo was not a shoot contest.

Big Brother originally informed the housemates that there was zero prize money. Later they were informed that they can earn prize money by completing various tasks. The prize money is currently at $120,000.<ref>[http://www.bigbrother.3mobile.com.au/prizemoney.html Current Prize Money statistics] ''Ten official site''</ref>

He returned to [[Paul Heyman]]'s ECW in 1997, eventually getting packaged with the re-formed '''[[Triple Threat]]''' faction, with [[Chris Candido]] and lead member [[Shane Douglas]]. He was a dominant force in ECW, carrying out feats of strength such as hurling [[Matt Hyson|Spike Dudley]] out of the ring and into the audience and [[Professional wrestling throws#Body slam|slamming]] Taz through the ring itself. He held the [[ECW World Television Championship]] and the [[ECW World Heavyweight Championship]] during his run.

===Friday Night Live winner's twist===

This year the winner of ''[[#Friday Night Live|Friday Night Live]]'' has a greater power in nominations. Replacing the [[Big Brother (Australia)#Nominations|Three Point Twist]] of previous seasons the ''Friday Night Live'' winner each week this season required to choose one nominated housemate to be removed from the nomination line-up, and to nominate another to replace them.

===World Championship Wrestling===

===Storeroom===

On [[November 16]] [[1998]] Bigelow debuted in [[World Championship Wrestling]]. He initially feuded with then-[[WCW World Heavyweight Champion]] [[Bill Goldberg|Goldberg]] before being shifted to the [[WCW Hardcore Championship|WCW Hardcore division]], along with fellow ECW alumni [[Scott Levy|Raven]] and [[Jim Fullington|Hardcore Hak]]. He was [[Stable (professional wrestling)|stable]]d with [[Dallas Page|Diamond Dallas Page]] and [[Chris Kanyon]] -- known as the '''[[Jersey Triad]]''' -- in May 1999. After the Triad disbanded, Bigelow began feuding with ECW alumnus [[Mike Awesome]], who defeated him in an [[Professional wrestling match types#Ambulance Match|ambulance match]] at [[Starrcade#2000|Starrcade 2000]].

All [[staple food]]s provided to housemates this year are [[veganism|vegan]]. The housemates can supplement this with milk and eggs supplied from the farm yard and herbs and mushrooms from the herb garden.<ref>[http://www.bigbrother.3mobile.com.au/storeroom-news.html?id=8 Meat for treats: the HMs diet goes veg] ''Ten official site''</ref>

In July 2000, Bigelow received second degree burns on 40% of his body, while rescuing three children from a burning house near his home. Following the incident, Bigelow spent two months recovering in a hospital.<ref>[http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=12530023&BRD=2228&PAG=461&dept_id=447976&rfi=6 "Meet Burger King Bam Bam Bigelow" interview by Gene Padden from ZWire.com]</ref>

===Telephone===

Situated in the lounge of the Big Brother house is a [[telephone]]. This is the first time that a telephone has been put inside the Big Brother house in Australia. It was shown on the [[Big Brother Australia 2007#Opening_Night|Opening Night]] broadcast before the housemates entered the house. It's purpose or use has not been established as yet.

===ChillIndependent Out Roomcircuit===

Bigelow remained with WCW until the company was purchased by the WWF in [[March 2001]]. Then, he waited until his [[Time Warner]] (the major corporation that had bought the promotion from Jim Crockett in 1989) contract expired in [[June 2002]]. He returned to the ring, making several appearances for USA Pro Wrestling. He performed his final wrestling match on [[October 25]] [[2006]] for the [[American Combat Wrestling]] promotion, teaming with Ralph Mosca as "The Syndicate" in a tag team match against Overkill (Homeless Fred and Twiztid).<ref>[http://www.kocosports.com/absolutenm/anmviewer.asp?a=13287&z=4 Kocosports.com & Combat-TV.com present Bam Bam Bigleow’s final match]</ref><ref>[http://www.kocosports.com/absolutenm/anmviewer.asp?a=10537&z=61 www.kocosports.com]</ref>

Adjacent to the kitchen is a new room called the ''"Chill Out Room"''. This room allows no more than three housemates at a time. It provides a quiet place to talk or relax, away from the rest of the housemates. Entry is by a small door.

For much of his career, Bigelow was addicted to the drug [[Oxycodone|OxyContin]]. In his most profitable years, he earned between $750,000 and $1.2 million USD.<ref>[http://www.sptimes.com/2005/11/17/Floridian/Wrestling_with_Bam_Bam.shtml Wrestling with Bam Bam]</ref>

===White Room===

On [[23 April]], the four remaining wild-card housemates not selected to enter the House via the public vote on Days 1 and 2 were isolated in the ''"White Room"''.

==Wrestling facts==

The housemates put in isolation were '''Cruz''', '''Demet''', '''Kara''', and '''Harrison'''. As the name suggests, the White Room is painted in white, contains white furniture, and the housemates have only white clothes to wear. In the centre of the room is a red button. At any time, a housemate may press the red button if they wish to leave. However, this decision is final and the quitting housemate may not return to the Big Brother House or the White Room. The housemate who stays inside the White Room the longest without pressing the red button will become a genuine Big Brother housemate and enter the main house with the rest of the housemates.

===Secret Relationships===

:*NWA Northeast Heavyweight Championship (1 time)

It was revealed on the [[Big_Brother_Australia_2007#Game_On|Game On]] episode that a secret relationship between Hayley and Andrew exists and has been hidden from the other housemates. Big Brother set the task to both housemates to enter the house and keep secret their relationship for one week. If they succeed, then both of them can stay in the house; if they fail then one of them will be evicted. On the [[29 April]] episode, Big Brother revealed the secret relationship of Hayley and Andrew and 3 housemates had guessed correctly regarding the relationship. Both housemates will stay in the house as a majority of the housemates had to guess correctly for one of them to be evicted. Big Brother also revealed that the housemates had completed the task successfully and awarded $50,000 into the prize pool.

*'''[[New Japan Pro Wrestling]]'''

'''Mr. X''' (Billy) who is a former partner of Hayley, has been brought into the Big Brother house to "stir" up the relationship of Hayley and Andrew to see if he can make them reveal their secret relationship to the housemates before the week's end. Each day he received a mission from Big Brother to put pressure on their relationship. It was revealed on the [[29 April]] episode that Billy was Hayley's ex-boyfriend.

#Day 4: When Billy was asked to take a housemate with him to tend the animals, he had to choose Hayley.

#Day 5: Billy had to become Andrew's best friend.

*'''Universal Superstars of America'''

=== No housemates on Rove ===

:*USA Heavyweight Championship (1 time)

Housemates this season have not be featured as guests on variety/[[talk show]] ''[[Rove (TV series)|Rove]]''. Previously housemates would appear on ''Rove'' in the days following their eviction. ''Rove'' is now aired on [[Sunday]] nights, at 8:30, immediately after the ''Big Brother'' eviction show, so it is impossible for the housemates to travel so quickly (as ''Rove'' is filmed in a different state) to appear on both shows. <ref>http://www.behindbigbrother.com/posts/updates/1024</ref>

*'''[[World Championship Wrestling]]'''

During the first week of the season fifteen housemates were added to the house. Twelve went into the house on opening night while viewers could vote in two extra housemates, one male and one female from a group of six. The following night, Susannah and Zoran entered the house along with an extra housemate, Billy (also known as Mr. X), who became a housemate to put Hayley and Andrew's secret relationship into jeopardy. A further two female housemates, Daniela and Laura, entered as intruders. The total number of housemates entering the house is 19.

It has been said that Bigelow was not aware that this match was a [[Shoot (professional wrestling)|shoot]] and thought it would be a worked MMA match. He was only notified about it being a shoot moments prior to the match. Apparently, [[Kimo Leopoldo|Kimo]] was never informed about what was said to Bigelow, therefore it was a legitimate MMA match. Japanese MMA promoters have a shady history in promoting MMA matches{{Fact|date=June 2007}}.

===Nomination notes===

<small>{{fnb|1}} For passing their task, Hayley and Andrew are exempt from nominations. However, in future they must nominate as a couple but they can be nominated as individuals. Billy is also exempt as he is not an official housemate. Also, Emma won the Friday Night Live award of discussing nominations with Aleisha. Emma used her new Friday Night Live winner's twist to save herself from nomination, and to nominate Jamie.</small>

==Later life==

<small>{{fnb|2}} Because Demet was new to the house, she was exempt from nominations. Billy became an official "housemate" and nominated for the first time. Both Hayley and Andrew nominated together. In the nominations twist, Hayley used her status as winner of Friday Night Live to save Emma from nomination, and to nominate Joel. Four housemates were nominated instead of three, and this sunday's eviction is a double eviction.</small>

In 2000, Bigelow and his wife, Dana Fisher, with whom he had several children, divorced. In 2005, Fisher sued Bigelow for non-payment of [[child support]].<ref>[http://www.sptimes.com/2005/11/17/Floridian/Wrestling_with_Bam_Bam.shtml Wrestling with Bam Bam]</ref>

Upon his retirement, Bigelow moved to a private recreational community called [http://www.hideoutassoc.com The Hideout], in Lake Ariel, Pennsylvania. He also opened the eponymous '''Bam Bam Bigelow''' [[restaurant]], located nearby in the town of Hamlin in [[Salem Township, Wayne County, Pennsylvania|Salem Township]], along State Route 590,<ref>[http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=13237290 Best Burger in NEPA - Bam Bam Bigelow]</ref> but it later closed. He then relocated to [[Florida]], with even his close friend [[Shane Douglas]] clueless as to his whereabouts.<ref>[http://www.sptimes.com/2005/11/17/Floridian/Wrestling_with_Bam_Bam.shtml Wrestling with Bam Bam]</ref>

<small>{{fnb|3}} Because Nick was new to the house, he was exempt from nominations. Both Hayley and Andrew nominated together. In the nominations twist, Andrew used his status as winner of Friday Night Live to save Thomas from nomination, and to nominate Demet.</small>

In May 2004, Bigelow was charged with endangering the welfare of a child through [[reckless driving]]. He attributed the incident to a [[seizure]] he had suffered, and the charges were dropped two months later. In August 2004, he was convicted of [[Drug possession|possession]] of [[Cannabis (drug)|cannabis]].<ref>[http://www.sptimes.com/2005/11/17/Floridian/Wrestling_with_Bam_Bam.shtml Wrestling with Bam Bam]</ref>

<small>{{fnb|4}} Because Hayley was leaving the house the following night, she was exempt from nominations. Emma and Aleisha were both awarded a point by Big Brother for previously discussing nominations. Andrew nominated by himself for the first time. In the nominations twist, Demet, who was the previous night evicted, used her power as winner of Friday Night Live outside the house by writing down her choice of preferences for who to Save and Evict, and saved Emma from nomination, and nominated Andrew, even though he didn't have a single nomination point against him.</small>

On [[October 2]] [[2005]], Bigelow was hospitalized with a broken nose and several lacerations after crashing his [[Harley-Davidson]] [[motorcycle]] in [[Spring Hill, Florida]]. His passenger at the time, Janis Remiesiewicz (Bigelow's girlfriend), suffered severe injuries and was declared to be in "critical condition". Larry Coggins, a spokesman for the Florida Highway Patrol, stated that Bigelow would be the focus of a homicide investigation should Remiesiewicz die, intimating that Bigelow would likely face charges based on "the factors...that led to this crash". Remiesiewicz eventually made a complete recovery, and remained with Bigelow up until his death.<ref>[http://www.sptimes.com/2005/10/04/Hernando/Wrestler__Bam_Bam_Big.shtml Wrestler 'Bam Bam Bigelow' crashes bike on SR 50]</ref>

==Special shows==

===Game On===

'''"Game On"''' was a live show that was broadcast on Day 2 ([[2007-04-23]]). The results of the overnight wild-card SMS vote were revealed. Susannah and Zoran were the chosen two out of the six wild-card housemates. The remainder of the wild-card housemates were isolated in the White Room. The ''[[Big_Brother_Australia#Daily_Show|Daily Show]]'' was incorporated into the first part of the live show. Hosted by [[Gretel Killeen]].

===Full House=Filmography==

*''[[Ready to Rumble]]'' (2000)

'''"Full House"''' was a live show that was broadcast on Day 8 ([[2007-04-29]]). It was aired in the timeslot usually occupied by [[Big Brother Australia#Eviction|''Eviction]] shows. The relationship between [[#Andrew|Andrew]] and [[#Hayley|Hayley]] was revealed to the house, as was [[#Billy|Billy]]'s role to cause tension on Hayley's relationship. Because Hayley and Andrew had been able to keep their relationship a secret from the housemates for the week ''(as less than 50% of the housemates guessed their relationship)'', Big Brother revealed that they had earned $50,000 to be added to the prize money, which was previously set at zero. Big Brother also tempted the wildcard housemates to leave the White Room by offering a sum of money to them ($AUD 750), which [[Big_Brother_Australia_2007#Cruz|Cruz]] accepted.'' Hosted by [[Gretel Killeen]].

'''"Golden Key"''' was a live show that was broadcast on Day 18 ([[2007-05-09]]). During this episode, a winner of the [[#Big Brother Starburst Golden Key|Starburst Golden Key]] promotion was selected from five finalists after a series of challenges. The finalists' names were:

: #61: '''[[#Nick|Nick]]'''

: #32: '''Natalie'''

: #66: '''Angie'''

: #17: '''Laura'''

For the mini-challenge, the finalists had to pick one of five discs in a bag which determined the lineup for the potential housemates to choose a golden key box to stand behind. After the contestants searched their boxes, which were filled with [[Starburst (confectionery)|Starburst]] lollies, for the golden key, [[#Nick|Nick]] found the key in his box and thus became the new Big Brother housemate. He entered the house during the weekly task performance. Hosted by [[Gretel Killeen]].

* Because of the pre-recorded nature of [[Big Brother Australia#Opening Night|launch]] shows, members of different forums and websites decided to have live streams using [[mobile phone|mobile phones]] allowing people to listen to the show before it was broadcast on national television. Because of this, recording of the show stopped until the streaming was stopped. Eventually, production staff offered prizes if audience members would pick out people from the crowd using phones to broadcast the show.<ref>[http://www.behindbigbrother.com/posts/updates/1035 Big Brother attemps to "catch out" BBBA] ''Behind Big Brother Australia'' URL accessed [[2007-04-25]]</ref>
