'''''Big Brother 2007''''', also known as '''''Big Brother 8''''', was the eighth series of the British [[reality television]] series ''[[Big Brother (British TV series)|Big Brother]]''. The show followed twenty-three contestants, known as housemates, who were isolated from the outside world for an extended period of time in a custom built House. Each week, one or more of the housemates were eliminated from the competition and left the House. The last remaining housemate, [[Brian Belo]], was declared the winner, winning a cash prize of £100,000 (the second housemate to do so after [[Liam McGough]] was awarded the same amount in the third week).
The series launched on [[Channel 4]] on 30 May 2007 and ended on 31 August 2007, lasting 94 days - the longest British edition of ''Big Brother'' to date. [[Davina McCall]] returned as presenter for her eighth consecutive year. Eleven housemates entered on launch night, with an additional seven men being introduced by the time of the fourth week. The series was watched by an average of 3.9 million viewers, the lowest viewed series of the show at the time.
The first series of ''Big Brother'' to air since the [[Celebrity Big Brother (British series 5) racism controversy|highly controversial]] [[Celebrity Big Brother (British TV series) series 5|fifth celebrity series]], ''Big Brother 8'' was the subject of viewer complaints and press attention, mainly regarding the ejection of a housemate for the use of a [[racial slur]].

===Broadcasts===
On Channel 4, [[Davina McCall]] remained as main host of the live shows such as live launch, evictions, finale and other special shows where there may be a twist taking place. [[Marcus Bentley]] returned as narrator of the nightly highlight shows.
For the first time since ''[[Big Brother (British TV series) series 5|Big Brother 5]]'' in 2004, there were no highlight shows broadcast on Saturday nights.
In the early years of ''Big Brother'', a live stream would feature on Channel E4, however this was omitted from the schedule until the final series (BB11-2010). Sunday night's highlight show would show just a short amount of footage from Friday, and would instead focus more on Saturday's events in the house.
[[Dermot O'Leary]] returned to host ''[[Big Brother's Little Brother]]''. On 28 November 2007 he announced his departure from the show.<ref>{{cite news | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7116674.stm | title=O'Leary leaves ''Big Brother'' show | access-date=28 November 2007 | date=28 November 2007 | work=BBC News}}</ref> His last presenting role was for the following ''[[Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack]]'' in January 2008.
''[[Diary Room Uncut]]'' returned in the same time slot as the previous year. On Fridays, housemates would make [[podcast]]s.
''[[Big Brother's Big Mouth]]'' returned in the same late night timeslot, however [[Russell Brand]] did not return, having quit the show earlier in the year.<ref>{{cite news | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6526833.stm | title=Brand quits ''Big Brother'' spin-off | access-date=8 April 2007 | date=4 April 2007 | work=BBC News}}</ref> No permanent replacement was made and a different presenter/host took control each week.
====Ofcom statement====
Before the launch programme, Channel 4 presented a statement from [[Ofcom]] explaining the racism incidents from ''Celebrity Big Brother'' earlier in the year. {{Quote box
|title = ''Summary of findings from Ofcom''
|quote = ''In January 2007, Ofcom received over 44,500 complaints, mainly about potentially racist material.''
''Ofcom has concluded that Channel 4 failed to handle appropriately the strong content it was transmitting. This resulted in breaches of the Ofcom Broadcasting Code, which is designed to ensure that when broadcasters show potentially offensive material, they do so in a way which offers adequate protection to the viewer.''
''Ofcom has found that Channel 4 breached the Code on three separate occasions. Its decision to repeat one of these incidents in its early morning show resulted in a further breach for failing to protect children.''
''There was also a serious failure in Channel 4's compliance processes which meant that it was not aware of all the relevant activity in the House at a particularly critical time. This compounded its failure to ensure compliance with the Code.''
''These are significant failings. Ofcom has therefore imposed a formal sanction on Channel Four, directing it to broadcast this statement. This ensures that the largest number of viewers will be made fully aware of the seriousness of Channel 4's failure to comply.''

This was followed immediately by a Channel 4 ident, and then the ''Big Brother'' titles. Channel 4 also broadcast the Ofcom statement on the morning of
==House==
It was initially believed that this would be the last series to be aired from the house in [[Elstree Studios (Shenley Road)|Elstree Studios]], with a new house set to be built in Hammersmith for 2008, although, [[Endemol]] decided to renew the lease at its current ___location for another two years.
The layout of the house remained much the same as the previous series, although the kitchen moved to the other side of the main living area.{{citation needed|date=January 2020}} One big theme in the house was annoyance; the kitchen appliances were scattered around the house, with the oven and heat proof surface in the bedroom and the fridge in the garden. As further annoyance, the bathtub was placed in an open space right next to the main living room. Where the oven was in the bedroom was approximately where the kitchen area was located in ''[[Big Brother (British TV series) series 7|Big Brother 7]]''.<ref>There was also a hidden washing machine in the garden which was uncovered by Dermot O'leary on the reunion show.{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6702475.stm|title=BBC: WI member set for new ''Big Brother''|publisher=[[BBC|BBC News]]|access-date=5 June 2007|date=30 May 2007}}</ref>
The bedroom contained a single, double and triple bed as well as two four-person beds. Outside the bedroom window, in the main living area, is a lip shaped sofa that the presenters of the show refer to as "the lips". The house also contains a salon/bathroom, which houses two large hair dryers and two steam suits.{{citation needed|date=January 2020}}
===Garden===
As well as the kitchen fridge, the garden contained a swimming pool, a seating area{{Citation needed|date=September 2007}} and, due to the [[smoking ban]] that came into effect in all public places during the series, a smoking area which housemates had to use from Day 1, even though the smoking ban didn't come into play until 1 July. This was checked by health officials, and deemed acceptable.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/bigbrother8/a65114/bb-producers-in-smoking-ban-probe.html |title=BB producers in smoking ban probe |work=[[Digital Spy]] |access-date=10 July 2007| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20070712150035/http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/bigbrother8/a65114/bb-producers-in-smoking-ban-probe.html| archive-date= 12 July 2007 | url-status= live|date=10 July 2007 }}</ref> The grass from the previous series has been replaced with [[AstroTurf]].{{Citation needed|date=September 2007}} The garden was one of the smallest this year, in comparison to the garden in ''[[Big Brother (British TV series) series 7|Big Brother 7]]''. On Day 25 it was revealed that a caravan was hidden behind a garden wall. The caravan came with two single beds and sleeping bags. Brian and Charley went "on holiday" to the caravan for one night. The caravan was again accessible from day 36, this time any of the housemates were allowed to use the room.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/bigbrother8/a64237/housemates-win-task-and-caravan.html |title=Housemates win task and caravan |work=Digital Spy |access-date=8 September 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070911180640/http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/bigbrother8/a64237/housemates-win-task-and-caravan.html |archive-date=11 September 2007 |url-status=live |df=dmy-all |date=4 July 2007 }}</ref>
An extension to the pool was revealed on Day 67, along with a bar area. The area was hidden behind the "wet" sign in the garden.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/bigbrother8/a69653/kara-louise-and-brian-flirt-at-pool-party.html|title= Kara-Louise and Brian flirt at pool party|work=Digital Spy |access-date=8 September 2007|date= 4 August 2007}}</ref>
"The Insider" on BBLB revealed that there was a fully functioning washing machine hidden in the garden, throughout the show.<ref>{{cite episode|title=The Insider | series = Big Brother's Little Brother | network = [[E4 (channel)|E4]]| ___location=[[Hertfordshire]], England | airdate=2007-06-22}}</ref> [[Dermot O'Leary]] revealed this to the housemates during the BBLB reunion show.
Because of the ''Big Brother 7'' [[water scarcity|water shortage]], the garden included a water tower, which at the beginning of the series was full. The water tower was located next to the fridge and the mangle.
===Vestibule===
Between the entrance/exit stairs and the main house was a vestibule area. This was used for several tasks, rewards and punishments, such as Ziggy's dating task, Amanda and Sam's birthday party, the punishments on Day 43, and the "Sin Bin" which is the room Charley was made to stay in while the rest of the housemates had their sin party.{{Citation needed|date=September 2007}}
===Diary Room===
A corridor was added between the Diary Room door and the main house which changes colour from red to blue to green when the "eye" button to open the door is pressed. The diary room chair was changed to a much larger see-through chair which contains white neon lights. For ''[[Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack]]'', the lights inside the chair were coloured purple, to keep up with [[E4 (channel)|E4's]] theme. The diary room resides in almost the same place as last year, but set back a bit, making the living area larger.
As in recent years, the diary room was used for several tasks. The Time Machine from Big Brother's time machine task was in the diary room. It was also used for the [[Seven Deadly Sins]] task.
===Hidden rooms===
The House contained a number of hidden rooms that were accessed either through the diary room or through a store room off the living area. At various points in the show, all or part of these rooms were opened up for various tasks and twists.
*One of these rooms was slept in by [[Thaila Zucchi]], in her role as "Pauline", and it was Australia-themed and contained a kangaroo statue, a surfboard, plants and beanbags. The bedroom also contained the dossier from which "Pauline" could find out things about her housemates. Only "Pauline" was allowed in the room at that time.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.heatworld.com/Article.aspx?articleid=1462&title=Ooh!+Sneak+peek+inside+Pauline%e2%80%99s+secret+room|title=Ooh!

*The rooms were later on used to house five 'halfway housemates' as part of a twist. It included a dormitory, common room, wash room and [[kitchenette]] as well as a small garden.{{Citation needed|date=September 2007}}
Periodically throughout the series, housemates conducted various tasks in some of these rooms.
*For the BBTV task, a newsroom was built, where two housemates transmitted news to the rest of the house, such as messages from home.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/bigbrother8/a67340/gerry-and-liam-receive-messages-from-home.html|title= Gerry and Liam receive messages from home|work=Digital Spy |access-date=8 September 2007|date= 23 July 2007}}</ref> The rooms were also used as a studio for a gameshow and later a talent show.
*It was used as a "The Happy Room" to cheer up Charley and Billi, who were instructed to wear "happy" t-shirts and baseball caps for the duration of their stay. The room was full of red beanbags, and featured cheery slogans on the walls. While in the room, Big Brother played the tune, [[If You're Happy and You Know It]].<ref name="happyroom">{{cite web|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/bigbrother8/a63059/charley-and-billi-enter-the-happy-room.html |title= Charley and Billi enter the happy room |work=Digital Spy |access-date=8 September 2007| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20070911002402/http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/bigbrother8/a63059/charley-and-billi-enter-the-happy-room.html| archive-date= 11 September 2007 | url-status= live|date= 27 June 2007 }}</ref>
*During the seven deadly sins task, it was turned into "The Room of Nicky" and contained pictures, books and footage of Nicky and also a sofa with cushions spelling N-I-C-K-Y. Nicky was instructed to stay in the room and learn to appreciate herself until Big Brother allowed her to leave.{{Citation needed|date=September 2007}}
*For Big Brother's birthday task, a Practice Room was built, where the entertainers had to practice.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/bigbrother8/a66121/group-given-party-entertainer-roles.html |title= Group given party entertainer roles |work=Digital Spy |date= 16 July 2007 |access-date=8 September 2007| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20070917184725/http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/bigbrother8/a66121/group-given-party-entertainer-roles.html| archive-date= 17 September 2007 | url-status= live}}</ref> A party room was then provided with a ball pool, small stage, and an area for food.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/bigbrother8/a66387/party-goers-start-birthday-task.html|title= Party goers start birthday task|work=Digital Spy |date= 17 July 2007|access-date=8 September 2007| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20070905215013/http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/bigbrother8/a66387/party-goers-start-birthday-task.html| archive-date= 5 September 2007 | url-status= live}}</ref> Amanda and Sam, Gerry, Nicky, and Ziggy were chosen as the party guests. Carole's job was the face painter. Chanelle and Liam performed magic. Charley and Tracey were clowns. Brian was the final musical performer.
===Halfway House===
On Day 59, five new housemates Amy, Jonty, Shanessa, David and Kara entered the house and were told they would live in the Halfway House which was reached by going through the store room or through the diary room and down a corridor. The Halfway Housemates and ordinary house mates were swapped around for different reasons.

==Nominations table==
<!--- Leave the colour for Charley's fake eviction alone. When an eviction is cancelled the box for that week is white or no colour. If there was a fake eviction then a colour needs to be used. Just like in past series where the public voted to move a Housemate into the "House Next Door" (series 7) or the bedsit (series 5). Do not remove this colour. This has been discussed in the talk page. Look through the archives to review the discussion. Thanks. --->

===Notes===
{{refbegin}}
*{{note|1|Note 1}}: As the only male housemate, only Ziggy was eligible to nominate this week. The eviction was later cancelled due to Emily being ejected.
*{{note|2|Note 2}}: This week, new housemates Seány and Gerry were two of four housemates allowed to nominate, and together had to choose the other two housemates to nominate with them. They chose Sam and Amanda.
*{{note|3|Note 3}}: As punishment for discussing nominations, Billi and Charley's nominations were voided by Big Brother. Had this not happened Charley and Nicky would have faced the public vote with them.
*{{note|4|Note 4}}: Week 6 was Fake Week, and the "eviction" on Day 45 had the "evicted" housemate, Charley, interviewed by Davina - with the interview shown on the plasma screen in the house - and then put back in the house.
*{{note|5|Note 5}}: As punishment for discussing nominations, Chanelle and Ziggy were only allowed to nominate one housemate each.
*{{note|6|Note 6}}: After continuous swapping of housemates between the Main House and the Halfway House, the housemates remaining in the Halfway House automatically faced the public vote, in which there was a double eviction.
*{{note|7|Note 7}}: Amanda and Sam chose to become one housemate on Day 69. However, as a result they both automatically faced eviction. As well as finding out that they were nominated, Amy, Jonty and Kara-Louise were also able to see who nominated who.
*{{note|8|Note 8}}: For Week 11's shopping task those who won mini-tasks gained "guru status" and were immune from eviction. All other housemates automatically faced the public vote. The Gurus had to decide from the two housemates with the highest number of votes (Carole with 49% & Gerry with 24%) whom to evict. The Gurus unanimously decided to evict Gerry.
*{{note|9|Note 9}}: In Week 12, there was a double eviction. As such, the three or more housemates with the most nominations faced the public vote.
*{{note|10|Note 10}}: There were no nominations in the final week. The public were voting for the housemate they wanted to win, rather than evict.

==Criticism and controversy==
===Racist language===
Nine days into the series, Channel 4 was criticised for deciding to air the word "[[nigger]]" on their daily highlights show.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.aol.co.uk/new-racism-row-engulfs-big-brother/article/20070607053109990001 |title=New Racism Row Engulfs ''Big Brother'' |publisher=AOL.co.uk |access-date=7 June 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070610201754/http://news.aol.co.uk/new-racism-row-engulfs-big-brother/article/20070607053109990001 |archive-date=10 June 2007 |url-status=dead |df=dmy }}</ref> After the criticism they received for not handling the ''[[Celebrity Big Brother (British TV series) series 5|Celebrity Big Brother]]'' racism allegations properly back in January, they were quick to intervene after Emily used the word in conversation with Charley. On the other hand, Charley and Nicky subsequently used the same contentious word several times, in reference to Emily's use. No action was seen to be taken against them.<ref name="day 8 highlights">{{cite episode|title=Day 8 Programme | series = Big Brother | network = [[Channel 4]]| ___location=[[Hertfordshire]], England | airdate=2007-06-07}}</ref> After Emily's disqualification from the competition was announced, 922 viewers complained to [[Ofcom]], the British television regulator, believing that it was unfair.<ref name="Ofcom1">[http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/bigbrother8/a60165/1000-viewers-say-emilys-bb-ejection-was-wrong.html 1,000 viewers say Emily's 'BB' ejection was wrong] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070610130739/http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/bigbrother8/a60165/1000-viewers-say-emilys-bb-ejection-was-wrong.html |date=10 June 2007 }} ''Digital Spy''</ref> Another 270 people expressed dissatisfaction with Channel 4's decision to air the word "nigger" uncensored.<ref name="Ofcom1"/> Parr was invited on BBLB, which also caused disturbances, but postponed her appearance. The press and [[Dermot O'Leary|Dermot]] presumed she postponed due to the controversy, but as she revealed in her BBLB interview, it was not.
Furthermore, on Day 40, Channel 4 confirmed that Charley had been called to the Diary Room and reprimanded after using the word "nigger" twice on one night. This was not broadcast on the nightly highlights programme or the live feed, further inflaming rumours about favouritism towards Charley. A ''Big Brother'' spokesperson claimed ''"Charley used the N-word as a black woman to refer to another black person. We judged her use of the term different from Emily's. But Big Brother called her to the Diary Room to remind her that this word could cause offence."''<ref>[http://www.sundaymirror.co.uk/news/sunday/2007/07/08/chanelle-rushed-to-see-docs-98487-19423026/ Sunday Mirror: Chanelle Rushed To See Docs] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071104070843/http://www.sundaymirror.co.uk/news/sunday/2007/07/08/chanelle-rushed-to-see-docs-98487-19423026/ |date=4 November 2007 }}.
