Reality television genre of television programming that documents unscripted situations and actual occurrences

Reality television is a genre of television programming that documents purportedly unscripted real-life situations, often starring otherwise unknown individuals rather than professional actors. Reality television came to prominence in the late 1990s and early 2000s with the global successes of the series Survivor, Idols, and Big Brother, all of which became global franchises. Reality television shows tend to be interspersed with "confessionals", short interview segments in which cast members reflect on or provide context for the events being depicted on-screen. Competition-based reality shows typically feature gradual elimination of participants, either by a panel of judges or by the viewership of the show.

Each week, one of the housemates is evicted by a public vote, with the last housemate named the winner.

They were told the remaining housemates would be entering in pairs and they would have to decide which of the pair would go to the Luxury House and which one would live in the Basement. To help make the decisions, Frankie and Rylan were allowed to watch the housemate's VT. They sent Tricia, Gillian, Lacey and Claire to the Luxury House and chose Paula, Ryan, Sam and Razor to live in the Basement. Finally they had a choice to send themselves down to the Basement or Heidi and Spencer, they chose Heidi and Spencer.
Day 2TasksIn order to win hot water for the whole house, one of the Basement housemates had to complete a task. The luxury house originally decided that Heidi and Spencer should take part in the task but they refused, Ryan then stepped in and won hot water for everyone.
EventsIn the early hours of the morning, Paula took ill and was advised by the doctor to move into the Luxury House. In the late hours, the Luxury House banished Frankie to the Basement, this then gave him the power to choose a housemate from the Basement to move up the Luxury House. He chose Heidi and Spencer.

Day 4EventsThe celebrities nominated for the first time, Paula and Heidi and Spencer received the most nominations and therefore face eviction with Frankie.
Day 5TasksFor the first shopping task, a Randomiser machine was located in the house which contained one green ball saying "PASS" and one red ball saying "FAIL". The celebrities must play a number of mini-tasks to win balls to go in the machine. For every pass they get, a green ball will be added to the machine, and for every fail, a red ball. At the end of the task a ball will be selected at random, and the outcome of the task would depend on the colour of the ball. As it stands, housemates have a 50/50 chance of passing. The first mini-task was called Pass The Pass where the celebrities had to pass disgusting items to each other using their mouths only. For the second mini-task, Rylan was called to the Diary Room and had to find the normal chocolates in a box of chilli chocolates. The third task was Kissing Balls where the celebrities, in pairs, had to capture ping pong balls between their lips. The final mini-task of the day, Claire was sent to the small task room and was forced to listen to 5,6,7,8 on a loop. At the end of the day, the celebrities had a 75% chance of receiving a luxury shopping budget.
Day 6TasksThe shopping task continued and Paula and Heidi were called to the Diary Room and asked questions about their fellow housemates. Meanwhile, the remaining housemates took turns to sit on a chair suspended above a pool of gunge in the garden. As the celebrity took their place on the chair, Paula and Heidi would be asked a question about them. If they got the answer right, the celebrity would escape the gunge, however an incorrect answer would mean the celebrity would go face-first into it. At the end of the shopping task, housemates had a 72% chance of passing. Sam was chosen to select a ball from the Randomiser machine, as it was a green ball celebrities passed their shopping task and won a luxury food budget.
Day 7TasksRylan was given a secret task in which he had to get emotional towards the nominated housemates and then cry. He had to recreate the famous X Factor crying scene without them suspecting anything.
ExitsPaula became the first celebrity to be evicted from the house, losing to Frankie and Heidi and Spencer.
TwistsNot long after Paula's eviction, Heidi and Spencer were called to the Diary Room and were congratulated for surviving eviction. They were also set a secret mission where they had to convince their fellow housemates that they were leaving through the back door because they have had enough. After completing their mission they were granted immunity from the next eviction and secretly moved back to the new Luxury Basement where they will live there for 48 hours and watch the other housemates live. Housemates also nominated for the second time, this time it was face-to-face. As Ryan and Sam received the most nominations, they face eviction.
Day 8TasksIn the basement, Heidi and Spencer were asked to choose a housemate to go to the Diary Room and ask questions to. They chose Ryan. If Heidi and Spencer did not like Ryan's responses, they could push a button which would drop dog food onto Ryan's head, which they did.
Day 9TasksStill spying on the housee, Heidi and Spencer were asked to choose five housemates which will "Tell It Like It Is" to each other and give some brutal home truths. Claire, Lacey, Razor, Rylan and Tricia were chosen to do this and as Heidi and Spencer thought Lacey was the most honest, she was rewarded with a phone call from home.
ExitsSam became the second celebrity to be evicted from the house, losing to Ryan.
TwistsShortly after Sam was evicted, Heidi and Spencer returned to the house. But they were given a decision to make, they had to choose the two most boring housemates. The two housemates they chose would automatically face eviction, they chose Claire and Rylan. Housemates will nominate as usual on Day 11 to decide who else will be nominated.
EventsAfter arriving back in the house, there were a number of arguments between Heidi and Spencer and the other housemates. One included Razor standing up for his fellow housemates and aggressively calling Spencer a bully. Razor was then given a formal warning for this and Heidi and Spencer were told to go back to the basement for their own safety.
Day 10TasksLacey took part in a quiz set by Big Brother to win the housemates a banquet. If she got more correct answers or equal to the number in the envelope, then she would win the task. Unbeknownst to her, for ever incorrect answer she gave, Razor would be waxed. She passed by getting 6 out of 11 questions correct.
Day 11EventsThe celebrities nominated for the second time, Heidi and Spencer and Lacey received the most nominations and therefore face eviction with Claire and Rylan.
TasksHousemates were given the chance to win invitations to a party. Each housemate had to wear a shock suit and choose another housemate to play for. One by one, they had to press their buzzer after one minute. But once the buzzer was pressed, the housemate they had chosen to play for got an electric shock. The five housemates who got a shock closest to one minute won invitations to a party. These were Gillian, Frankie, Tricia, Razor and Claire.
Day 12EventsBig Brother asked Heidi and Spencer to return to the main house.
TasksBig Vendor came alive and asked the housemates what each of their talents are. As it only recognised Rylan and Claire's singing as talent, it chose those two to lead separate teams and perform a song with their team. Claire's team, which featured Heidi and Spencer, Lacey and Frankie, performed Reach by S Club 7. Rylan's team, which featured Razor, Gillian, Tricia and Ryan, performed Tragedy by Steps. At the end of both performances, Big Vendor announced Rylan's team as the winners.
Day 13TasksFor the latest shopping task, Frankie became dictator and seized power of the whole house. Ryan and Razor were chosen as his guards for the task. Frankie moved into the Golden Palace, formerly known as the Gym, where as the civilian had to stay in the house. All the civilians had to do was obey Frankie's rules, and if they did not they would end up in jail. However, unbeknownst to Frankie and the guards, the civilians were given a task of their own to form a revolution and overthrow the dictator, which was the real shopping task. The first thing Frankie did as dictator was confiscate all of the housemate's beauty products and Rylan's cigarettes. Rylan's first mission as part of the revolution was to get himself sent to jail where there would be hidden explosives that he must steal without the guards knowing. Claire and Lacey were also given a secret task during their meal with the dictator, they had to debug Frankie's phone and swap the keys to the beauty products with a fake set. They succeeded and won luxury food for the civilians, which they had to hide from the guards. Frankie then rewarded the civilians a silent disco which was watched by the guards. Meanwhile, Frankie was in his Golden Palace answering questions from Big Brother about the other housemates, and the answers were played through the civilian's headphones so that they could hear everything. The civilians had to pretend that everything was normal and they were still listening to music.
Day 14TasksThe civilian/dictator shopping task continued. Whilst Frankie was giving a live speech to the civilians, Rylan led the revolution to follow specific objectives from Big Brother to overthrow Frankie as dictator. These included tearing down all of the propaganda posters, defacing the large flag in the garden, defacing all of the banners in the garden with red paint, unlocking the box containing their banned items and retrieving them all, planting explosives in the statue of Frankie then detonating them to destroy it, and finally, capturing Frankie and his guards using a net. As they successfully completed all of these, housemates won a luxury shopping budget.
ExitsLacey became the third celebrity to be evicted from the house, losing to Claire, Heidi and Spencer and Rylan.
EventsNot long after Lacey's eviction, Big Brother punished Razor and Ryan for discussing nominations. Their punishment was that all housemates, including themselves, would face eviction on Friday.
Day 15TasksRyan was called to the Diary Room and was given a secret mission to complete. He had a secret earpiece and was told to follow instructions from either Razor (The Angel) or Rylan (The Devil). Razor was giving Ryan nice instructions where as Rylan was giving him evil ones. As Ryan passed the task without the other housemates suspecting anything, he won a party for the housemates.
EventsAs a punishment for discussing nominations, Gillian and Heidi and Spencer were not allowed to attend the party. Instead they had to spend time together in the igloo in Pearly King and Queens costumes and have a right cockney knees up. They were forced to speak in cockney rhyming slang and were treated with jellied eels and cockles.
Day 16EventsBig Brother told the housemates that he was fed up with them not getting dressed and that celebrities should be dressed like celebrities. If they all did not get dressed, then Big Brother would take action. As Heidi and Spencer were the only housemates properly dressed, Big Brother had no choice but to turn the hot water off.
TasksHeidi and Spencer were split and became team captains for their genders. Each team competed in a series of endurance challenges in which they had to keep their heads perfectly still while they were being tormented by a variety of nasty surprises. Each flinch or twist of the head would earn a fail for their team and the team with the lowest number of fails at the end of the game would be the overall winners. However, as team captains, Heidi and Spencer avoided the torment and each chose what distractions the opposing team would face. As the girls remained more still than the boys, they were the winners of the task. As a result of everyone completing the task to Big Brother's satisfaction, the hot water was turned back on.
ExitsGillian became the fourth celebrity to be evicted from the house, losing to all of the other housemates.
Day 17TasksHeidi and Spencer were called to the Diary Room and were told that they had won a poll as the housemate viewers would most like to be interviewed on "Big Blogger", an internet based show. They were told that they would be answering questions from a competition winner 'SuzyEssex'. However, this is all fake and the other housemates were in on the hoax. As Heidi and Spencer were being interviewed in the large task room, the other housemates watched the whole thing from the house. The housemates then posed as SuzyEssex to ask Heidi and Spencer questions about their opinions on other housemates and events in the house. As Heidi and Spencer believed the whole thing, housemates passed the task and won an American party.
Day 18TasksBig Brother told the housemates that they would each get a chance to win a letter from home, but to do this they would face some dilemmas. To receive a letter, all they have to do is accept the dilemma. First Tricia was called to the Diary Room and was asked to rate each housemate's letter in order of priority. If one housemate declined the dilemma then the housemate who was ranked the least priority by Tricia would not get their letter. If two housemates declined, then the two housemates who were ranked the least priority would not receive their letters, and so on. As Tricia successfully ranked the letters, she passed her part of the task. Rylan was told he had to shave 50% of his facial hair in order to pass his part of the task, he was successful. Claire had to 'take to the Steps' every time a crowd noise was played into the house and walk up and down the stairs until the crowd noise was played again, she was successful. Ryan had to become his Neighbours character, Toadie. He had to wear a toad costume and jump to wherever he wanted to go, he was also successful. Razor and Frankie had a joint task as Frankie became a jockey and Razor became a horse. Wherever any of them wanted to go, Frankie had to ride Razor like a horse. Both of these were successful. However, Heidi and Spencer refused to take part in their part of the task which was to be apart from each other until further notice. This resulted in Claire not receiving her letter.
EventsAs Big Brother gathered all of the housemates in the living area to give them their letters, they all decided to make a stand against Heidi and Spencer for not taking part in the earlier task. Every housemate apart from Heidi and Spencer refused to read their letter from home.
Day 19TasksThe housemates were split into two teams, the boys on one team and girls on another team to settle the question of who is better, male or female? As there were five males and three females, Razor had to join the girls' team and dress like a girl. Heidi and Spencer also refused to take part in the task, so they would be punished later. The housemates competed in a number of different games to decide who was better. First, Ryan and Tricia both took part in an obstacle course which was all about multi-tasking. They had to park a car, empty their shopping bags, answer the phone and then change a baby. As Tricia completed the course in the quickest time, the girls had the advantage. Next, Razor and Rylan took part in a maths challenge in the Diary Room and had to answer sums that Big Brother asked them, but there were some distractions. Razor won this challenge and earned another point for the girls. For the third part in the task, the boys and girls had to compete to see who sweats the most. They all wore plastic sweat suits and had to get as physical as they could to see who would gather the most sweat. The boys won this part in the task. Overall, the girls won 2-1 and won a hen party for themselves. As a further reward, the girls got their letters from home, which they had previously refused to read.
EventsAs punishment for Heidi and Spencer not taking part in the task, Big Brother removed their bed from the house.
Day 20TasksFor the shopping task, housemates had to dress to impress whilst being secretly watched and judged by Paula, who had returned to the house as part of this task. Paula had to select the most stylish housemate to join her in the large task room and be part of the fashion police, she chose Rylan. Paula and Rylan then had to choose the two most unfashionable housemates to transform them. Ryan and Tricia were both chosen and Rylan and Paula had to give them three different outfits to try on to make them look stylish. Rylan presented a fashion show which concluded the task and gave Ryan and Tricia a chance to show off their new looks.
Day 21TasksJamie East entered the house to host a new game show called "Viewer's Venom". The housemates had to get into two teams and answer questions which included viewer's brutal opinions about them, all housemates had to do was guess who the viewers were talking about.

The Basement

On launch night, Big Brother announced that half of the housemates will moved to the Main House or the Basement. On Day 2, the Main House housemates had to vote for one housemate to enter the basement, and that housemate had to choose another to enter the Main House from the basement. Frankie and Heidi and Spencer were chosen respectively. The twist came to an end on day 3 after Frankie was chosen to face the first eviction by his fellow housemates.

Notes

  • ^Note 1 : As Frankie sacrificed himself on Day 3 to end the basement twist, he was automatically nominated for eviction. The rest of the housemates nominated on Day 4; Frankie could nominate but could not be nominated.
  • ^Note 2 : Shortly after Paula's eviction on Day 7, Heidi and Spencer were given a secret mission to stage a walkout but they would actually be heading back down to the Basement. As they were in the Basement, they missed out on face-to-face nominations and could not be nominated either, but watched live from the basement.
  • ^Note 3 : Shortly after Sam's eviction on Day 9, Heidi and Spencer returned to the house. However, before they re-entered they had to choose the two most boring housemates. These housemates would then automatically be nominated for the next eviction. They chose Claire and Rylan. The remaining housemates nominated on Day 11 to decide who else would join them. Because Claire and Rylan were automatically facing eviction, the remaining housemates could not nominate them, but they themselves still nominated.
  • ^Note 4 : Shortly after Lacey's eviction on Day 14, Razor and Ryan were punished for discussing nominations. As a result, all of the housemates were put up for eviction.
  • ^Note 5 : For the final week the public were voting for who they wanted to win rather than to save. The two housemates with the fewest votes were evicted on Day 21.
