The season was billed as "back to basics, but with one small secret". In a return to the basic format of Big Brother 2001 and Big Brother 2002 that had been eschewed in favour of twists and surprises in Big Brother 2003, all housemates were let into the house together and former surprise elements such as swimming pools and gym equipment were all exposed from the beginning. Two Intruders entered the house later in the game, and Miriam, the transsexual star of the show There's Something About Miriam, entered as a houseguest near the end. ^[1] The prize money was raised from $250,000 to $1,000,000, but this was kept hidden from housemates until later in the series. Evicted housemates also received larger prizes than any season before, with every evictee receiving a Mitsubishi Lancer.

Nominations Table

The first Housemate in each box was Nominated for Two Points, and the second Housemate was Nominated for One Point.

Nomination Notes

Note 1: The two Intruders faced the Housemate Vote, in which the Housemates would decide which one of them should go home. The Housemates unanimously chose to Evict Violeta.
Note 2: All Housemates were Nominated by Big Brother after failing to give reasonable Nomination reasons. Mónica, as a new Housemate, was exempt from this process.
Note 3: For the second week running all Housemates were automatically Nominated by Big Brother - this was due to the fact that at the last Eviction there was a voting error and Bree had been incorrectly Evicted. Bree later returned to the House, and the correct Evictee, Wesley, was Evicted on Day 68, four days too late. This left no time for Nominations, so all Housemates were put up for the Public Vote.

Controversy

• Housemate Merlin Luck staged a protest at his live eviction show. Upon entering the arena, he revealed a makeshift banner which read "Free Th Refugees". The letter E had fallen off and it was intended to read "Free The Refugees" in reference to Australian Government policy of mandatory detention of asylum seekers. Merlin placed gaffer tape over his mouth and refused to speak during the live show. The following night, when he returned to appear as a guest on the Nomination show, he apologised to Killeen for putting her on the spot and making her job difficult by refusing to speak during the eviction show. On this show Merlin spoke about his actions in the highest rating show of the timeslot for that night.^[1]
• The producers were criticized for making a deal with housemate Ryan Fitzgerald who was permitted to wear a t-shirt that was branded with "MLS" (acronym for Massive Loser Squad). The t-shirts were being sold while the show was running and Ryan's friends admitted that a proportion of the profits was going towards votes to keep him in the house, thus giving him what was perceived to be an unfair advantage. However the producer pointed-out that many housemates had companies or local communities rally support for them, which was little different, and that there was nothing stopping any other housemate's supporters doing a similar thing to Ryan's friends.
• Housemate Bree Amer was incorrectly evicted instead of Wesley due to a vote counting error. The error was discovered after the Sunday night eviction show. Bree had already met up with friends and family. She was returned to the house the following night (Monday). ^[2] Wesley was evicted in a special show on the following Thursday.
