"Big Brother 5" in 2004 was the fifth series of "Big Brother" in the UK, a reality television show shown on Channel 4 in which a number of contestants live in an isolated house trying to avoid being evicted by the public with the aim of winning a large cash prize at the end of the run.

The series began on 28 May 2004, and ended on 6 August in the same year.

Housemates

12 housemates entered the house on Day 1. In Week 5, Becki entered through the bedroom door.

Weekly summary

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, Dan and Kitten), a transsexual (Nadia), 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.

One of the main twists to "Big Brother" in 2004 was the fluctuating prize fund. Housemates could either win or lose money depending on how well they completed the task. As the winner, Nadia received £63,500, meaning that the housemates lost £36,500 during the 71 day run of the programme.

This series received 5.0 million on average, the second highest rated BB.
