The launch of the series was aired the evening of 23 April (a 24 hour delay). 2006 also saw the re-naming of Big Brother: Uncut to Big Brother: Adults Only. Adults Only was axed by Ten near the end of the series due to pressure from the regulatory authorities, and content that was to be used on the remaining episodes is now available on a new Big Brother Premium (paying members) only section of the Big Brother website called Adults Only.

One of the twists this season, promoted by Ten as "Australia's World First", is that housemates Karen and Krystal are mother and daughter. This was not revealed to the housemates until a week into the series. Because the Housemates failed to uncover their secret, Karen and Krystal were exempt from being nominated by other housemates in the first round. Karen was later evicted from the house on Day 22.

Despite publicity using the term "World First", international versions of the series have previously used similar concepts. The fourth Greek season had a series called Big Mother where nine houseguests participated in the game with their mothers, with whom they had to coexist during the contest. The housemates' mothers were not able to win the prize, but had to stay with their sons and daughters until their eviction. Another Big Brother series had houseguests enter the house with their mothers, but the mothers did not stay.

Big Brother: "Grip the handles."

Anna Hind-Linden (born September 16, 1985) is a PA and promotional model from Frankston, in Melbourne, Victoria. She entered the house on Day 0 with the rest of the original housemates of the series. She was taken to the Revenge Room along with Camilla on Day 9 as part of a fake double eviction. From the Revenge Room, they enacted revenge on the housemates who had nominated them by being allowed to control elements of the house such as when the hot water was turned off. They were allowed to return to the rest of the house on Day 11. After returning for the Revenge Room, Anna seemed to form a tighter bond with the men in the house. She was the 4th evicted from the house on Day 29 with 25% of the merged vote. Her famous catchphrase whilst in the house was "game on moles!" later admitting on UpLate that she forgot she even said the line. Anna appeared on the cover of the August 2006 Issue of Ralph magazine.

Ashley

Ashley becomes emotional at the family dinner on Day 33.

Michael Cox (Ashley) (born March 3, 1986) is a bricklayer from Perth, Western Australia. He entered the house on Day 0 with the rest of the original housemates of the series. Many of the housemates perceived Ashley like a little brother. He was often seen in the house talking about cars, a passion of his. Ashley revealed on Day 33 that he had never met his brother and sister and finding them was part of the reason why he participated in Big Brother. Ashley was saved from being up for eviction in the first week by Gaelan who used his Three Point Twist received from winning Friday Night Live; he was later saved from the eviction line-up by David excercising his Three Point Twist. Ashley has only been up for eviction once. On Day 70 (1 July 2006), Ashley, along with John, were removed from the house because they sexually assaulted a fellow housemate, Camilla.

Camilla

Camilla (right) is told she has been nominated for eviction again.

Camilla Halliwell (born October 28, 1983) is a student and nightclub host from Melbourne, Victoria. She entered the house on Day 0 with the rest of the original housemates of the series. She left the House as part of a fake eviction along with Anna on Day 9. From the Revenge Room, they enacted revenge on housemates who had nominated them which including pouring itchy powder on their beds, making them do the clown task to see them fall over in the pool and stealing their clothes. She returned to the house as a surprise Birthday present for John on Day 11 in one of Tilli's dresses and while in the Revenge room said that the first thing she would do was call Tilli a bitch in front of her face. However she did not do this, and instead kindly offered to return the dress to Tilli. Camilla was very close to David from day 0, and was upset when he came out as homosexual on day 4. Camilla and David later bonded with Intruder Rob, who dubbed the three of them "Team Faghag". Camilla and David remained close, but their friendship became somewhat strained over time, resulting in David nominating her in week 10. As time has passed, Camilla has won some housemates over, but she has often been perceived by her housemates to be annoying, confrontational, bitchy and argumentative. As a result of this, she had been consistently nominated for eviction. This had also given her the nickname of 'the Veteran' from her fellow housemates. She was up for eviction in Weeks 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, and 10. She wouldn't have been up for eviction in Week 10 had it not been for the result of Claire's three-point twist. This means she has been up for nomination every week except week 8 (she was immune from nomination in week 2 due to being 'fakely' evicted in week 1). Her and Perry's personalities clash in the house as they are both very opinionated. It is believed that (On Day 70)she was sexually harassed by Ashley and John. These two have since been removed from the house and no further information has been given.

Claire

Claire discussing showering nude.

Claire Madden (born June 17, 1983) is a big cat zookeeper from the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. She entered the house on Day 0 with the rest of the original housemates of the series. She entertained the house with various original songs as the house is forbidden to sing any commercial music. Claire is a vegetarian and concerned about conservation of the environment. Claire had been nominated for eviction in Week 2. She was also put up for potential nomination in the Under the Radar vote but did not receive enough audience votes to be nominated for eviction. Claire won Friday Night Live in Week 9, and took Rob to the Rewards Room because he was the only housemate, other than the recently arrived Intruders, who had never been in there. She used her Three Point Twist on David during the following Monday's Nominations, however this failed to remove him from the line-up. The reduction in his points put into third place tie with Camilla, so David remained up for eviction while Camilla was added to the eviction line-up.

David

David explains his mission in the house is to promote tolerance and equality for the homosexual population

David Graham (born August 28, 1979) is a farmer from Goondiwindi, Queensland. David entered the house on Day 0 with the rest of the original housemates of the series. David came out to the housemates and on Day 4 revealed he was homosexual. David bonded immediately with Camilla (although she was upset when he kissed Tilli soon after he revealved his homosexuality), and later Intruder Rob joined their group. David was happy to have another gay man in the house, and they remained close until Rob's eviction. David and Camilla grew somewhat apart as time went on. Due to his feeling that Camilla was playing nice with other housemates to avoid being nominated by them, David nominated her in Week 10, a decision that caused him some anguish. David eventually became very good friends with Claire, in spite of some ideological differences (she was a vegetarian, he was a sheep farmer). He bonded with Michael, and was visibly upset after learning Michael had lied to the housemates repeatedly as the Insider. Michael and David were still close enough that the blurred lines of their friendship led David to ask Michael if he was gay. Soon after, Michael led other housemates to believe David had stolen their toothbrushes. This led to some heated arguments until after Michael's eviction, when Big Brother told them Michael was the culprit. David also had a strong attraction for Intruder Darren, but as Darren said he was heterosexual, they remained close friends only. David won Friday Night Live in Week 7, won a trip to Vietnam and took Camilla to the rewards room; he took the 3 points off Ashley, even though he himself was up for nomination. He said only a "jerk" would take points off himself. David won again in Week 10, took Perry to the rewards room (she was runner-up in the game), and won a trip to Thailand. David was up for eviction in weeks 4, 8, and 10. He was originally nominated in Week 5, but Gaelan removed 3 points from him, clearing him from the eviction line-up.

Her negative reaction to this provoked some of her housemates to nominate her for eviction that week. She was the clear favourite to leave that week and did so becoming the 3rd evicted from the house on Day 21 with 36% of the merged vote.

On Day 2, he was given the task of the Insider by Big Brother, having been chosen by the viewing public. If he succeeded in his tasks, he would be immune to Nominations, but if he failed, he would be automatically nominated by Big Brother for eviction.

He failed his first mission within minutes of being assigned the task, which was to secretly spill water on a bed that was occupied by two housemates. Michael opted to spill water on Gaelan's bed, which at the time was only used by Gaelan himself. Because of that, and because he also didn't empty the whole bottle, he was awarded his first strike. Soon after, he was given other missions, one of which included getting at least 8 of his fellow housemates to nominate him at the next round of nominations. His technique to complete this mission was to fabricate a story about a son named Reuben that he had in the outside world. It was revealed on Michael's eviction night that Reuben is actually the name of one of Michael's real life friends. He received a backlash of conflict after Big Brother ousted him as the Insider, especially from housemate Anna who had distant contact with her father.

Despite no longer being the Insider, Michael continued to cause conflict in Week 5, hiding cutlery as well as hiding the housemates' toothbrushes from them, never revealing their locations even after he had been evicted. He was the 5th housemate to be evicted from the house on Day 36, with 20% of the merged vote.

The day after he was evicted, Michael appeared on the Nominations show and had a heated discussion with Gretel Killeen about the producer's editing regarding a scene where Michael and housemate David appeared to be kissing. The outfall resulted in media attention and the interview with Gretel was later labelled "The Gretel Incident" by fans due to Gretel's extremely defensive interviewing tactics during the scene.

The day after this incident Michael appeared on Rove Live and bluntly told host Rove McManus that he was not as funny as the show's co-host Peter Helliar. Upon being asked about "The Gretel Incident" Michael suggested that the host of Friday Night Live and Big Brother Up Late Mike Goldman or co-host of Friday Night Live and former housemate Ryan Fitzgerald would be better hosts of Big Brother than Gretel.

Not long after being evicted, he was involved in a brawl with music student Tristan Bauer, punching him in the head at the Eastern Hotel in Bondi Junction, Sydney. Mr Bauer, a homosexual, claimed that the attack was unprovoked, although Michael's agency, Harry M. Miller, has stated that he only reacted after 'homophobic' comments had been made in his direction. Michael was charged with assault, legal processes are still pending. [1]

Rob during Katie's 2-point nomination

Rob Rigley (born July 18, 1979) is a homosexual hairdresser from Wollongong. He entered the house on Day 24 as an intruder, along with Danielle and Jade. Rob quickly bonded with Camilla and David, friendships that lasted the entirety of his stay in the house, although he was surprised when at his eviction he was shown footage of Camilla complaining about him behind his back. In Rob's final week in the house, new Intruders arrived; Rob was close to Perry from the start, and after his eviction, he said he was rooting for her. Rob was perceived by some in the house as bitchy, and he had an increasingly tense relationship with Jamie until they made peace in Week 9. He was up for eviction in Week 7 and Week 9. Rob was evicted on Day 64, being the last of the first set of Intruders to leave the house. On the Tuesday after his eviction, Rob appeared on Rove Live and after the interview had finished Rove requested that he shave Rob's mullet which Rob agreed to do only if Rove in return donated $5,000 for AIDS research. Afterwards Rove decided to donate $10,000 to charity.

Weekly summary and highlights

Week 1

(up to and including Sunday night)

• Soon after entering the house, Housemate Michael was issued with, and accepted, the challenge by Big Brother to act as a secret saboteur in the house, known officially as The Insider. He was to play specific pranks at Big Brother's command, to work against and to annoy Housemates, and to attempt to stymie the Housemates' attempts to successfully complete assigned tasks. He had to remain undetected in these strategies and keep his role as The Insider a secret, or be automatically nominated for eviction.

• Michael failed his first mission within minutes of receiving it, and received his first strike because of it.

• It was revealed to viewers that Housemate David is actually homosexual, but had closeted himself to his fellow Housemates. David came out on Wednesday 26 April.

• A new twist was revealed to the Housemates; a fourth prize would be awarded to the winner of Friday Night Live. Three sealed boxes would be presented to the winner, marked 1, 2 and 3. The winner would select one box only before being allowed to open the box of their choice. The three boxes would inevitably contain a major prize (an overseas holiday), a medium-sized prize, and a booby prize. The three prizes would follow a theme or be associated with each other in a homonymous manner (eg. Cambodia, camera, Camembert).

• The three boxes were presented to Gaelan. They contained a trip to Thailand, a Thai banquet for all of the Housemates for the following night, and a large red bow tie. Gaelan chose the box containing the novelty bow tie.

Week 3

• Michael's 'Insider challenge' for the week was to ensure that he was nominated by eight Housemates in the next week's nominations. Success would mean immunity from eviction for the week.

They receive a special prize, which is a dinner at Tiger Island (situated inside Dreamworld, but outside the Big Brother House).

• Jade was voted as the new Insider by the public and was notified that night.

• Prize money at the end of Week 4 is $545,000

• Jade's first Insider mission was on May 23, where she was only allowed to sing and not speak in her usual manner from sunrise to sunset. She spent the day in silence in an effort to complete her task, only having to resort to singing on a few occasions.

• On May 24, Michael stole a number of Housemates' toothbrushes and hid them in a sock under a bed in an effort to create conflict and entertainment within the House. The housemates have since located the toothbrushes after Michael informed them of their whereabouts in his farewell video. However, he did not say he was the one responsible for them being stolen, implicating that it was another housemate. Michael did all of this of his own accord, having been relieved of his Insider role the previous week.

• Intruder Danielle wins Friday Night Live, choosing John to join her in the Rewards Room. The theme for the night is Horror. The three boxes contain a trip to South Africa, a motor scooter, and a salad sandwich. Danielle chooses the box containing the sandwich.

• Michael is evicted from the House on May 28. After his name was read out he jumped off the couch, threw the bowl on the coffee table to the roof and ran outside, where he was chased and tackled by John and Gaelan.

Week 6

• Originally in general nominations, Jade, Dino, Camilla and Krystal were nominated. Because Danielle won the Friday Night Games, Danielle used her Three Point Twist on Krystal. The three point twist removed Krystal from the list of nominees.

• During the Nominations show, evicted housemate Michael and host Gretel Killeen have a heated interview about whether Big Brother used editing techniques to misconstrue an incident where Michael appeared to kiss David. Killeen strongly defends the series insisting that misleading editing techniques are not used. Michael claims the incident was a joke but that by cutting the shot too soon it appeared to be serious. Killeen cleary appears uneasy and ambivalent about defending the actions of the Big Brother Program when later in the Nominations show, she apologises to Michael and the 'full' footage is shown. This includes only a few seconds extra of footage, albeit from a differnt angle, which implies that the move by David and Michael to kiss each other may have been a joke.

Truth, Lies, Eviction was a live show used on Day 36. Big Brother felt that some housemates were lying or holding back on things about themselves, therefore flying Under the Radar. On Day 35, each housemate went into the diary room and was asked some questions. A lie-risk detector, said to be 90% accurate, was used to determine from the frequency of their voice whether or not they were lying. They weren't informed that a lie detector was used, or what the information would be used for until during Truth, Lies, Eviction was broadcast. The show also featured Michael's eviction, and the Daily Show was broadcasted as part of Truth, Lies, Eviction.
