Big Brother Axed

Channel 4 has confirmed that Big Brother is to be axed, but will run for one more year. Viewing figures of 2 million each night have not been enough to justify the £50m budget that will be better spent on challenging new programmes aimed at the youth market.

Other channels may well take up Big Brother after BB11 ends next summer as Endemol owns the rights to the long running reality programme.

Big Brother 9: Kat and Mo In Double Eviction Shocker

Big Brother housemates faced their biggest shock of the series as two housemates were booted out in a Double Eviction shocker. As the remaining seven housemates had been enjoying an evening of impersonating one another, Davina McCall announced to a surprised house that first Mohamed was to be evicted and then shortly after Kathreya was to join him. Mo had received just 1.8% and Kat 4.9% of the public voted by Tuesday evening so would not make it to the BB9 final on Friday.

Gasps and tears quickly followed as the two housemates were ripped away from the Big Brother house and thrust out into the waiting world. Both met loud boos from the crowds yet Mo and Kat remained resilient and enjoyed their time with Davina McCall as she relived their time in the Big Brother house.

Big Brother 9: Lisa Evicted In Close Vote Result

Lisa became the eleventh housemate to be evicted from the Big Brother house and left to the loudest cheers of the series. Lisa faced eviction with Sara after housemates nominated the pair in a live Face To Face Nomination earlier this week.

Sara won the public vote to stay in the BB9 house after viewers felt sorry for her after being bullied several times. Just 2.6% separated the two friends but Lisa didn't mind being voted out. She had won £25,000 earlier in the week and got engaged to former housemate and boyfriend, Mario.

BB9: Luke is Evicted From Big Brother

Luke became the seventh person to be evicted from the Big Brother 9 house with 37% of the vote tonight as Davina McCall made the announcement to an excited house.

In a week of drama and excitement Luke was going to be up against house beefcake Dale in a battle The Sun dubbed "Mr Muscle v Mr Muscle". Events took a dramatic turn on Tuesday when Big Brother stripped Stuart of his title as 'Head of House' for talking about nominations. The two way race became a 9 housemate contest, but then Maysoon fell at the last hurdle as she walked out of the BB9 house Wednesday evening.

The bookies and BBBS Poll predicted that Luke Marsden would become the latest eviction victim and phone lines closed 22 hours earlier than normal but still the Wigan funny man lost and will now leave the house and be re-united with his funny other half, Rebecca Shiner.
