Ahmed Aghil Ahmed Aghil (born March, 1960) fled to Britain from Somalia during the early 1990s, and is now a successful property developer. He gained a reputation for his eccentricity and his inexplicable outbursts of violence while in the house. He always remained least favourite to win, with odds ranging from 33/1 to 50/1. this is good boy File history Legend: (cur) = this is the current file, (del) = delete this old version, (rev) = revert to this old version. ...

Ahmed usually spent time alone in the garden, or asleep. He was fairly sedate, in sharp contrast to most of the house, meaning that he did not bond with anyone in the house much, and indeed was fairly irritated by many of the housemates.
After a few weeks of participation in the programme, Ahmed began to have spontaneous violent outbursts, in which he threw plates around, chopped the head of a papier-mâché statue off with a spade and screamed out loud (the first two were in response to the playing into the house of a crying baby, the first time to try to wake the housemates up, the second time to try to get them to talk after they refused to speak for a day in protest at failing a task. He explained his behaviour later on by stating that as a father, he found the sound of a crying baby extremely disturbing). It eventually became clear that he was under enormous psychological pressure in the house, and that he was becoming increasingly deranged-he recognised this himself, but refused to leave the house of his own accord, since he harboured a dream of having an eviction night and interview like all other evictees (he referred to this as "his night"). Eventually, it got to the point where he was asking the other housemates to nominate him for eviction. Even when he did so, he was not evicted.

He became somewhat unpopular in the house, with the public turning against him after an incident in the house during a weekly "Big Brother Boot Camp" task, in which he was assigned the role of a private (along with 5 other housemates) while two others were assigned the role of sergeant. He refused to do several activities as required by the task, came to blows with (more popular) sergeant Michelle and eventually tried to instigate a military coup. In an interview with the Daily Mirror after the show had finished, he said that his reluctance to take part in the task was due to the memories of the militia in his own country that contributed to his claim for asylum in the UK. Despite this, the group passed the task: however, in accordance with the rules of the task, the privates were immediately up for eviction. He was evicted with 56% of the vote. In his post-eviction interview, he remarked that he did not expect to remain in the house past the third week.

Jason Cowan The runner up, he formed a friendship with Victor Ebuwa and Ahmed Aghill that led to the formation of a prominent clique known as the Jungle Cats. Cowan's presence at the end brought a balance to the house after all the villains had left and only friends or people that sat on the fence were left. He spent most of his time laying in bed and bitching about the other housemates with Victor, shaving every concievable part of his body for lengthy periods of time, and excersicing almost constantly.

Kitten is currently living with her lesbian lover in Brighton, and describes herself as an anarchist, heavily involved in political activism and opposition to war, the class society and capitalism. Before becoming an anarchist, she used to be a member/supporter of the Alliance for Workers Liberty. She also claimed to be a £15.00-a-suck child prostitute in London at the age of 13, although her father denied this in the press, stating that she was in boarding school in Staffordshire at the time.

On entering the Big Brother house, Kitten refused to enter until she had seen her girlfriend and made obscene gestures to the crowd and the media. This action led her to be the first housemate to be booed on entry to the house. Her behaviour did not improve once in the house as she refused to obey the rules of Big Brother, leading to three official warnings.
In an effort to get Kitten to toe the line, Big Brother warned the housemates that they would evict any housemate without warning if Kitten continued to break the rules. However Kitten again broke the rules by daubing anti-war slogans on the wall of the house. On the second week, live on Channel 4, Kitten was finally evicted from the house, initially refusing to leave. She was eventually removed from the house after Big Brother began reducing the £100,000 prize fund by £1,000 for every 10 seconds she stayed in the house. On leaving Kitten shouted at the media against the Queen and the Aristocracy.

Also, he hilariously tripped his own mother by sliding along a slippery stage when he emerged from the Big Brother house.

After Big Brother, Michelle enjoyed a relationship with Stuart Wilson, and became one of OK Magazine's most valuable exports. Gracing the press almost daily, Michelle was everywhere. Still pursuing a glamour modelling career, Michelle had breast implants and presented on Television X, a soft porn channel. Shortly after this her dreams of being a glamour model were fulfilled when Michelle landed her first front covers of Nuts Magazine, as well as several other lads mags. Television X is an adult television channel owned by Richard Desmond. ...
2 years on (2006) from her show in 2004, Michelle is still one of the most heavily publicised contestants from Big Brother, and one of the only ones from BB5 still actively working. She is one of the success stories of Big Brother.
Her official website was launched in Spring 2006, showing perhaps the demand for Michelle has risen.
Stuart Wilson Stuart Wilson was initially a member of the jungle cats, although when things got serious with Michelle, he was neither here nor there. He was best known in the house for his relationship with Michelle and for his constant need to dress up and child-like personality. Stuart was the first contestant in UK Big Brother history to not receive a single nomination from his peers.
During one task, Stuart was given a cowboy outfit which he fell in love with; particularly with the hat. After eventually giving it back to Big Brother, he asked for it back again. They gave him an oversized one instead, and then a miniature one. Later on, when the contestents refused to co-operate with Big Brother, they put the TVs on and showed them burning the hat, much to the distress of Stuart. Throughout all this, up until the burning, Big Brother's Little Brother held a campaign for Stuart to get his hat back.
Michelle and Stuart enjoyed a year long relationship, in which they attended showbiz parties and covered many articles in glossy magazines. Soon after the sixth series of Big Brother started, it was revealed these two had split up. // Big Brother UK series 6 in 2005 was the sixth series of Big Brother in the UK, a TV reality show on Channel 4 in which a number of contestants live an isolated existence in a purpose-built house who try to avoid being evicted by public vote, with the...
Vanessa Nimmo Vanessa Nimmo (born 12 August 1977) is a former double South African archery champion. She was born in Cape Town but moved to the UK in 1994. Since being on Big Brother, she has been dating Ben Fogle. During "Fight Night", it took half of the housemates to hold Nadia back after Vanessa had supposedly slapped her. Like Michelle Bass, Vanessa also had breast implants which prompted her to do raunchy photoshoots with fellow housemate Shell Jubin including a September 2005 DVD release "Shell and Vanessa laid bare" in which she happily was photographed topless for the first time.

Victor Ebuwa Victor Ebuwa (born January 17, 1981) was the co-Leader of the 'Jungle Cats', styling himself as 'Slick (Vic)' in the house, and formed a close partnership with Jason Cowan, and also with Ahmed Aghil. He was known for his memorable one-liners and rap-style speech, for speaking his mind and having a game plan.

On day 57 he was evicted following an argument with fellow housemate Shell Jubin, after which a fan of Victor's sent death threats to Shell's parents house. Previous to this argument Victor was second favourite to win the show.
Many TV critics, including Ally Ross (The Sun TV Critic), have credited Victor for saving the Big Brother UK franchise, thanks to stirring controversy and his 'straight talking' attitude towards housemates. The previous year's show was slammed by critics for being dull, leading to record low viewing figures and a subsequent drop in eviction votes. Viewing figures increased this year to an average of 7 million every night. The Sun, a tabloid daily newspaper published in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, has the highest circulation of any daily English-language newspaper in the world, standing at around 3,200,000 copies daily in late-2004, but at one point in the past decade, almost 5...

What Happened Trailed as "Big Brother turns evil", it was controversial from the start. The house was smaller and more claustrophobic; there was one bedroom; and the prize money of £100,000 was reduced if housemates failed their tasks. Big Brother promised tougher challenges as well as surprises to test the minds of housemates. The makers were initially criticised for choosing contestants specifically to boost ratings, opting for people that were openly gay (Marco and Dan), lesbian (Kitten Pinder),transsexual (Nadia Almada), a former asylum seeker (Ahmed), and a person who claimed to be bisexual (Jason, although he later revealed that this had been a fabrication to improve his chances of being selected). This feeling soon dissipated to a large extent as the personalities of the housemates overshadowed these issues. A lesbian is a woman who is aesthetically, sexually, romantically and/or emotionally attracted to other women. ...

The housemates were all strong, opinionated characters. Kitten Pinder was evicted in the first week for constant rule-breaking. A fake eviction in the second week saw two of the housemates, Emma and Michelle, confined to the nearby "Big Brother Bedsit" where they could see and hear what was happening in the house without the others knowing. After their return to the house, scenes of aggression and violence erupted resulting in on-site security staff having to enter the house for the first time in the show's history. Some viewers of the live feed also called the police; after a short investigation, a joint statement by Hertfordshire police and producers Endemol said that they were satisfied with steps being taken to ensure housemates' safety and well-being. Police were also reportedly questioning each contestant as they left the house. Emma was moved back to the bed-sit and later evicted permanently. Several remaining housemates (Victor, Jason, Nadia, Vanessa, Marco) were given a formal warning. A psychologist on the show resigned, claiming that his warnings that Endemol's deliberate selection of housemates likely to cause conflict would lead to the fight went unheeded. A bedsit is a form of rented accommodation consisting of a single room with a shared bathroom and lavatory. ...
Following the fight the arguments continued, but nothing on the scale of what producers refer to as "Day 20" or "Fight Night". Following an appearance on MTV's Total Request Live Emma and Victor clashed again and had to be separated by the security on the show.

A surprise new housemate, Becki Seddiki, was evicted at the first opportunity. She had been told by Big Brother to (based on first impressions) kiss one of the housemates and that housemate would be up for eviction. This became known as the "Judas kiss". She chose Michelle, and while Michelle was not a particularly popular housemate, Backi was perceived by many as a traitor and her fate was sealed. Judas Iscariot (died April AD 29–33, Hebrew יהודה ×יש־קריות ) was, according to the New Testament, one of the twelve original apostles of Jesus, and the one who is said to have betrayed him. ...
The weekly live task was dropped in this series; housemates still competed in a "Saturday Challenge" though, but only highlights were shown. The week after Seddiki's eviction, Ahmed Aghil was evicted. The following week the flamboyant, aggressive Victor Ebuwa was evicted in a shock result that was mainly a result of a fight with Shell Jubin during a Wedding Day task. This task was also the scene for one of the most embarrassing Big Brother moments of recent times as wannabe-singer and choirister for the day, Michelle Bass, ad-libbed her way through the classical Pie Jesu.
The following week Michelle was evicted. The series was notable for her romance with Stuart Wilson. It is widely believed that they were the first couple to have full penetrative sex on the main Big Brother UK show (this having already taken place on Teen Big Brother in 2003), following two incidents where they made a crude tent under the dining table and discarded their microphones. However their actions were not visible, and both parties have refused to confirm or deny it. Michelle's self-confessed jealous behaviour gave some viewers the impression that Stuart was an unwilling participant in the affair, but he has stated since that this was not the case. The relationship continued after both had left the house. They have since split up.
Two days before the final day Stuart Wilson received only 7% of the votes to win, the lowest amount of the contestants in the house, and so was evicted in a surprise move mid-way through a party. He was told he was to leave immediately, without saying goodbye to the remaining housemates. He received a rapturous reception upon leaving the Big Brother house.
Nadia, as expected by all the bookmakers (she was favourite for six weeks) won Big Brother (UK) 2004 with 74% of the vote. She was greeted by an adoring crowd who chanted her name. A bookmaker, bookie or turf accountant, is an organisation or a person that takes bets and may pay winnings depending upon results and, depending on the nature of the bet, the odds. ...
BB5 was also notable for the introduction by two of the housemates of the 'eviction pose', which led to several evictees doing poses during Big Brother 6. First Victor struck a 'cool' pose in keeping with his house 'gangsta' persona, leaning against the wall sideways on to the waiting audience. Later Dan (who could possibly have seen Victor before the inner doors closed) stood, head bowed, arms out, before lifting his head. // Big Brother UK series 6 in 2005 was the sixth series of Big Brother in the UK, a TV reality show on Channel 4 in which a number of contestants live an isolated existence in a purpose-built house who try to avoid being evicted by public vote, with the...
