Tasks
  • Housemates were split into two teams consisting of the UK Housemates (Gail, Natasha, Chris, Stevi & Chloe-Jasmine, James and Sherrie) and the USA Housemates (Austin, Farrah, Jenna, Scoop, Tila and Daniel). One by one, each Housemate from both teams would take turns to try and aim for the six Housemate targets from their opposing teams, whilst firing footballs out of a glitter cannon. The UK team ultimately won the task with three out of six targets hit, and were awarded with a special party. However, they had to select three USA Housemates who wouldn't be invited to the party and would instead spend time in the tower until further notice. They chose Daniel, Scoop and Farrah.
Day 2Entrances
  • Bobby and Janice entered the house.
Tasks
  • Bobby and Janice were selected as team captains for the UK and USA respectively, and competed against each other in a series of challenges in order to become "Prime Minister" or "President" of the House. These challenges included answering questions which related to British and American culture, correctly spelling famous colloquialisms, drinking liquefied substances and putting as many clothing items on in one minute. At the end of the task, Bobby was announced as the winner, thus becoming "Prime Minister" of the House.
Exits
  • Tila was ejected from the House, following awareness of social media comments that she made prior to entering the house, where she expressed her support for Adolf Hitler, Nazism and white supremacism.
Day 3Tasks
  • Dizzy Dash: The Housemates, in their respective teams, were spun around in a cart whilst being asked a question about one of their fellow Housemates.

Entrances
  • Paul Burrell entered the House to participate in this week's shopping task.
Day 7Tasks
  • Housemates continued with their first shopping task. It was revealed to the American Housemates that the real goal of the task was to disgrace the royal family and expose them in situations where they lack etiquette and decorum. Today, the American Housemates were instructed to write up questions for a royal interview with Natasha and James. Later that day, Big Brother tasked the servants with taking photos of the Royal Family in compromising shots.
Day 8Tasks
  • Housemates continued with their first shopping tasks. The American Housemates were tasked with choosing two of their own (Austin and Farrah) to sit in on afternoon tea with four members of the Royal Family (Chloe-Jasmine, Gail, James, and Natasha). Austin and Farrah had the task of making the members of the Royal Family angry, ruining afternoon tea. Later that day, it was revealed to the British Housemates the true nature of the shopping task. Big Brother then informed all Housemates that they had passed the task and would be rewarded with a luxury shopping budget for the week.
Punishments
  • Farrah was given a formal warning for using offensive language during the last part of the shopping task.
Day 9Tasks
  • The Newlywed Game: Stevi & Chloe-Jasmine were tasked with answering questions about each other in the same style as The Newlywed Game. Stevi & Chloe-Jasmine answered enough questions correctly and passed the task. For passing the task, they were rewarded with a romantic picnic later that day.
Exits
  • Paul left the House.
  • Daniel was evicted from the house, receiving the fewest votes to save.
Day 10Tasks

Team USA won the task and were then given the power to vote for a President of the House. They chose Scoop.
Twists
  • Due to Team USA winning the task earlier in the day, they were all granted immunity from the next eviction and were the only Housemates able to nominate. Also, as President of the House, Scoop was forced to nominate one of the UK Housemates with a killer nomination. He chose Chris, meaning Chris automatically faced the next public vote.
Nominations
  • Team USA were the only housemates to nominate this week. They all had to agree on three of the UK housemates to nominate. They nominated Bobby, Stevi & Chloe-Jasmine and Gail.

Notes

  • ^Note 1  : As Team USA won a task on Day 10, they were granted the right to nominate as Scoop became President of the House. In addition, as Team USA won, Team UK will not be allowed to nominate and will be the only ones able to be nominated. Later that day, President Scoop was forced to make a killer nomination against one Housemate, meaning they would automatically face the public vote. On Day 11, Team USA then collectively decided three more Housemates who would also face the public vote with Chris. They chose Bobby, Gail, and Stevi & Chloe-Jasmine.
  • ^Note 2  : This week, the Housemates nominated face-to-face. However, in a twist, the public were voting to fake evict rather than to save, with the two Housemates receiving the most votes fake evicted and moved into a secret Luxury Suite. In a further twist, the other Housemates will be made aware of this, unbeknownst to the residents of the Suite.
  • ^Note 3  : As residents of the Luxury Suite, Farrah and Jenna are immune from nominations, and will be in control of who will face the public vote. However, unbeknownst to them, whoever they believe to have nominated for eviction will be immune from the public vote. The Housemates in the main house will be made aware of this and will have to try to get nominated in order to be immune from the next eviction, and whoever is not chosen will face the public vote.
  • ^Note 4  : This week all Housemates automatically faced the public vote. The four Housemates with the most votes will be saved, while the five remaining Housemates will be subject to an eviction twist. The four saved housemates (Austin, James, Natasha and Stevi & Chloe-Jasmine) had to pick one of the five remaining housemates (Bobby, Farrah, Janice, Jenna and Sherrie) to save from eviction. Natasha saved Sherrie, James saved Janice, Stevi & Chloe-Jasmine saved Bobby and ultimately Austin chose to evict Farrah thus saving Jenna from eviction.
  • ^Note 5  : In addition to finding out who was nominated on Day 25, Housemates were also shown who nominated them.
  • ^Note 6  : For the final two days, the public were voting to win rather than to save. The voting percentages reflect the overall share of the final vote and do not take into account the vote freezes between each position. James won with 57.17% of the vote over Austin. [18]
