| Week 1 | Tasks | - On Day 3, housemates participated in the 'Crack the Category' task in order to win luxury ingredients for dinner that night. Power Housemate Pauline chose Christopher as 'most perceptive' Housemate and together they sat in the Diary Room while the other Housemates ranked themselves from most to least in various different categories such as fake, manipulative or obnoxious. Pauline and Christopher then had to guess from three choices what category the Housemates were ranking on. Pauline and Christopher correctly guessed four out of six categories, and therefore, passed the task.[57]
- On Day 4, the housemates without their suitcases had a chance to win them back by competing in a task. Chris and Ashleigh went head-to-head to see who was the most weird, Jale and Kimberly had to settle who was the most sexy, whilst Tamara and Toya, Ash and Marlon attempted to be most disgusting. The remaining housemates voted as to which housemate was best in the categories and chose Chris, Jale, Tamara and Toya to receive their suitcases.[58]
- On Days 6 and 7, housemates took part in their first shopping task of the series, entitled 'Power of Positivity'. Over these two days, housemates had to remain positive throughout the entire challenge, with any display of negativity incurring a fail. To make things more difficult, Big Brother set up mini-challenges (such as drinking disgusting 'cocktail' drinks) and banned certain products (such as cigarettes and beauty products) to make the task more difficult to complete. Housemates incurred 5 out of a maximum 10 fails, and therefore passed the task.[59]
- On Day 9, after claiming he was psychic, Mark's claims were put to the test as he had to predict the future in the house and answer questions from three housemates; Helen, Danielle and Winston.[60]
|
|---|
| Twists | - On Day 1, after the housemates entered, Pauline was voted as the Power Housemate by the public. She then had to enter the Control Room to make a decision. She was shown all the housemate's VTs and based on her impressions she had to reward a housemate and punish one. She chose to reward Mark and punish Matthew. As a result, Mark was given £5,000 and Matthew spent the first night in a box above the garden.[61]
- On Day 2, after the final six housemates entered, Pauline had to decide which housemate would win a free pass to the Final, granting them immunity from every single eviction. She chose Helen.[62]

Because Jale received this nomination, it was revealed that she would face eviction every week that she remained in the House.[67]
- On Day 9, Tamara became the first housemate to be evicted.[68]
|
| Week 2 | Tasks | - On Day 10, Steven, Marlon and Ash were told that they'd be giving a lesson in how to flirt and would have to use these on the other housemates. However, the lesson was completely fake and all of the other housemates had to convince them that their flirting techniques worked. As housemates passed the task by successfully convincing the boys, Big Brother rewarded them with a romantic date.[69]
- On Day 12, the housemates began their second shopping task, in which the house was turned into a farm. The farmers (Christopher, Jale and Marlon) had to motivate the "cows" (Ashleigh, Chris, Toya and Winston), the "pigs" (Helen, Kimberly, Pauline and Steven) and the "chickens" (Ash, Danielle, Mark and Matthew) to make food to sell to Big Brother. The more food they sold, the more money they earned. If the money they earned exceeded the target, they would pass the task.[70] The housemates passed the shopping task on Day 13.[71]
- On Day 16, the housemates were given a prison-themed task and the house was divided into guards and inmates. Mark and Pauline were the guards and forced the inmates to peel potatoes.

- On Day 19, Christopher, Danielle and Mark had to put their full trust in their fellow housemates, however this was fake. They were told that Ash, Ashleigh and Winston had to take part in a memory game where they had to remember particular numbers in order for the other to avoid a disgusting fate. Christopher, Mark and Danielle did not know that they are actually trying to fool them and whoever could string along their partner for the longest would win an award.[81]
- On Day 20, housemates began their third shopping task in which they had to think alike. Three housemates were asked into the "mind lab" at a time and were offered a task. If they all said Yes then they would earn 10 points and would have to complete the task, if they all said No then they'd earn 5 points but wouldn't take part in the task. However, if their answers did not match they would earn no points but the housemates that said Yes would still have to take part.[82] The task continued on Day 21 and it was announced that they'd failed it.

- On Day 25, the boys were asked to make cocktails for the girls which would represent their personality. Unbeknownst to them, the girls listened to their conversations whilst they were making the cocktails.[90]
- On Day 26, before the girls gave their verdict for who they wanted to save from eviction, the boys were asked to "Man Up" and give a speech as to why they think they should be saved.[91]
- On Day 27, housemates began their next shopping task where Ash, Jale and Steven became the secret assassins whilst Winston became the inspector. Their mission was to "kill off" their fellow housemates without Winston suspecting them. Between them they successfully killed off Christopher, Helen, Kimberly, Mark, Matthew and Marlon.[92] When the housemates were killed off, they were sent to the morgue where they could secretly watch the other housemates.[93] On Day 28, Winston correctly predicted the assassins therefore housemates passed the task, however Ash, Jale and Steven were told they'd live on basic rations.[94]
- On Day 29, Helen was given a secret mission to bring some humour to the house. After successfully telling jokes, sitting on a whoopy cushion and "accidentally" falling in the pool, she was rewarded with a clown costume and make-up.
- On Day 30, Mark and Christopher were given the task of identifying childhood photos of their fellow housemates. If they were to guess the majority of the pictures, all housemates would receive pictures of family and friends, as well a hamper of sweets. The task was passed.[95]
|
|---|
| Twists | - On Day 23, shortly after Toya's eviction, Big Brother revealed that the female housemates had formed Girl Power for this week and were all holders of the power. Because of this, all the females were safe from this week's eviction and all of the males were automatically nominated to face the public vote.[96]

He then had to choose who was on his nice list and who was on his naughty list. The 'nice' housemates were invited to a Christmas party with Christmas dinner, whereas the 'naughty' housemates weren't. Danielle, Helen and Marlon were put on Christopher's naughty list and were therefore not invited to the party.
- On Day 33, housemates took part in their next shopping task where the house was powered on battery. Over the two days of the task, housemates were asked into the "app zone" where they were offered to use an app. If they used an app, the battery would drain. All housemates had to do was keep the battery above 0%. On Day 34, Big Brother offered the nominated housemates a chance to save themselves, but by doing this the battery would drain and the shopping task would be failed.[99] Marlon chose to save himself therefore the housemates failed.[100]
- On Day 35, the housemates were matched with their "perfect partner" where they had to compete against the other couples to show which pair know each other best. Over a number of different rounds, couples were eliminated and the remaining couples were invited to a party.[101]
- On Day 36, Steven was given an earpiece and was asked to target a housemate for secret missions. However, he is unaware that Ashleigh also has an earpiece and must try and guess who Steven will target.[102]
- On Day 37, Helen, Mark and Winston were given 60-second-challenges to compete in. Helen had to get balls out of gunge using her mouth alone, Mark had to put pegs on his face, and Winston had to eat chillies.

In 'On the Ledge', new housemates tried to knock original housemates off of a ledge by reducing the ledge's size through moving a wall. Original housemates had to remain on the ledge for the duration of the task. Later, in 'Fool the House', original housemates had to correctly identify whether statements (from newspaper stories, etc.) read by the new housemates were true or false. Original housemates won the task.[109]
- On Day 42, new housemates selected Christopher to act as a mole and via a hidden earpiece, Christopher had to ask original housemates questions set by the new housemates, who were watching and listening in the Luxury Pad.

Later, in 'Judgement Time', original housemates had to correctly identify who new housemates had selected as the answers to a series of questions in VTs that were recorded before new housemates entered the house.

- On Day 49, the housemates started their next shopping task and split into two teams; the blue team (Chris, Christopher, Pav, Steven and Zoe) and the red team (Ash, Ashleigh, Helen, Mark and Winston). The teams were pre-selected by Big Brother so that the most confident housemates were on the red team. The teams went head-to-head in a number of challenges, with the blue team believing that the team which won the most challenges would win a luxury shopping budget and the losing team would have only basic rations. However, the challenges were rigged so that the red team would always win, with the red team being aware that the real shopping task was to convince the blue team that they were all losers.[123] On Day 50, the teams took part in the final, and only fair, challenge. If the red team won this challenge, all housemates would pass the shopping task, however, if they lost, they would all fail. After the reds won the task, the housemates received a luxury budget.[124]

- On Day 55, housemates began the 'Housemates vs the Internet' shopping task.[135] Housemates would gain 'hits' for completing a series of challenges, and if this exceeded a predetermined value, housemates would pass the task and win a luxury shopping budget.[136] For the first part of the shopping task, housemates recorded 20-second videos which were then posted on the Big Brother website. Housemates passed this part of the task after the videos each received more than 1,000 hits. As Ash's video received the most hits, he won a bottle of champagne.[137] In the next challenge, Ash, Chris, Mark and Zoe became a search engine and had to truthfully answer questions set to them by the public. They failed this part of the task.[138] Later that day, Christopher, Pav and Winston became 'Webcam Boys' and had to obey demands set by Luisa Zissman. Housemates passed this challenge.[139] On Day 56, for the final challenge, 'HousemateCompare.com', housemates had to correctly identify which housemates had been voted the "most" and "least" by the public in a series of categories.

- On Day 61, Ash had to perform a magic show for his fellow housemates.[149]
- On Day 62, in the Power of Money shopping task, Ash and Winston were given the chance to add to the prize fund by entering Helen's Salon. After previously making mistakes whilst cutting Christopher and Mark's hair, Helen was given the opportunity to cut Ash and Winston's in the same way if they chose to accept. However, as both Ash and Winston refused, no more money was added to the fund.[150] The same day, the housemates who did not receive their letters from home; Chris, Christopher and Mark were given the chance to add £6,000 to the fund as they were told they can spend time with one of their family members. Before spending time with them, they were told for every second they spend with their loved ones, the money will go down by £20. All three let the money drain so nothing was added to the prize fund. A further £500 was added to the fund after some housemates drank a stinky tofu cocktail. The task continued to Day 63 where Mark lost out on banking £1,500 after wrongly predicting which bowl a meerkat would eat out of,[151] but the group then earned £5,000 for unlocking a vault by identifying what housemates said about them by the quotes read out to them. The public then voted Ashleigh as the best judge of character. In the final part of the task, every housemate were individually told they had the chance to take the banked £15,500 for themselves or leave it for the winner. Ash, Chris and Mark all decided to take the money, however this was a lie. The real task was that Ashleigh, the best judge of character, had to predict which three would take the money.[152] As she predicted incorrectly, the extra money was lost and the prize fund remained at £100,000.
|
|---|
| Twists | - On Day 61, housemates nominated face-to-face. As Christopher, Mark, Pav and Winston received the most nominations, they face eviction.[153]
- On Day 62 and 63, as part of The Power of Money twist, the housemates were able to add up to £25,000 to the prize fund. They only secured £15,500. However, this was then lost by Ashleigh in the final task.

Ash was announced as the winner, with Christopher second and Helen third.[163]
- On Day 67, the house turned into a courtroom and Ashleigh and Helen both stood trial as to who is the main cause of the divide in the house.[164] Ash, Pav and ex-housemates Kimberly and Steven were supporting Helen's case,[165] [166] whilst Chris, Christopher and ex-housemates Danielle and Matthew supported Ashleigh's.[167] [168] Body language expert Judi James was the judge, and eventually gave her verdict that Helen was guilty of causing the divide.[169]
- On Day 68, Ashleigh and Pav became celebrity divas and had to give demands to their fellow housemates. The other housemates had to do everything the divas asked for.

However what they did not know was the interview was fake and the questions were actually being asked by Chris and Helen.[170]
- On Day 70, the finalists were taught with how to deal with life after Big Brother. The housemates were faced with questions from the public whilst ex-housemates Danielle and Zoe returned to give them media training and judging their answers.[171] For the next part of the task, ex-housemates Biannca and Mark re-entered the house to teach the finalists how to make a memorable exit from the house.[172] For the final part of the task, the housemates were taught how to promote different items in advertisements.

Shortly after his eviction, ex-housemate Steven Goode criticised the show for unhygienic living conditions within the house, complaining of food and dirty clothes being left lying around, and a general bad smell in the house.[183] Goode also criticised the show's medical staff after it emerged that his lover, ex-housemate Kimberly Kisselovich, had suffered from an ectopic pregnancy, as a result of sexual intercourse with him in the house. The show's producers have responded to his complaints with the statement "Housemates' welfare is our main priority and we applied that to Kimberly."[184]
On 8 September 2014 Ofcom announced that 3,820 complaints had been rejected for Big Brother, 489 of the complaints aimed towards the allegations of the final being rigged in Helen's favour. Despite all this Ofcom also announced that an investigation will take place of the episode airing on 7 August 2014 which was Day 64 over the broadcast of offensive language before watershed. An Ofcom spokesperson said; "Ofcom is currently investigating the broadcast of offensive language before the watershed in an episode of Big Brother on August 7th. After carefully assessing viewer complaints about the rest of the series, Ofcom did not consider they raised issues warranting investigation under our rules."[185] [186]
