'''''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).

==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 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}}

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.

===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!

Periodically throughout the series, housemates conducted various tasks in some of these rooms.

The housemates had to guess where the monkeys had been. If they correctly guess, they win a speciality dish from that country or place.

===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}}:
*{{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.

===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 5 (UK)|''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 }}.
