Big Brother Australia 2005, also known as Big Brother 5, was the fifth season of the Australian reality television series Big Brother, and was aired on Network Ten in Australia, and TV-2 in New Zealand with a four-week delay. The series started on 8 May 2005, with housemates going into the House the day before, and finished on 15 August 2005, lasting 101 days. The theme for this season was "single, sexy and competitive". Auditions for housemates were held in March 2005. In a departure from usual procedure, candidates were not required to send in videos of themselves as had been the case for prior auditions. Instead, the producers toured major Australian cities and conducted interviews. They searched for sexy singles that were willing to have sexual relations on camera. Promos for the show suggested that Big Brother would be different this year, and phrases such as "Assume Nothing, Expect Anything", "Let's Play" and "Think Again" were used throughout the series, especially during Opening Night. The winner was announced on the finale that was watched by 2.282 million Australian viewers.{{Cite web|url=https://www.screenaustralia.gov.au/fact-finders/television/industry-trends/in-the-archive/top-programs/top-20-programs-1998-2009|title=TOP 20 PROGRAMS SHOWN ON TELEVISION, 1998–2009|website=Screen Australia|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170721073855/https://www.screenaustralia.gov.au/fact-finders/television/industry-trends/in-the-archive/top-programs/top-20-programs-1998-2009|archive-date=21 July 2017|url-status=live|access-date=23 May 2018}}

Changes and additions

= Fines =

On Opening Night, it was revealed that A$5,000 would be subtracted from the $1 million prize money every time the housemates broke a rule.{{Cite news|url=https://www.smh.com.au/news/tv--radio/logans-win-big-brother/2005/08/15/1123958005869.html|title=Logans win Big Brother|date=16 August 2005|work=The Sydney Morning Herald|access-date=2 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060107100147/https://www.smh.com.au/news/tv--radio/logans-win-big-brother/2005/08/15/1123958005869.html|archive-date=7 January 2006|url-status=live|publisher=Fairfax Media|agency=Australian Associated Press}} Such rules included discussing nominations, which must remain secret, not giving adequate reasons for nominating, and forgetting to wear microphones at all times. Michelle was known for being the housemate to get the most such fines—$60,000. Geneva had the least amount of fines $15,000, two in the early days at the house and one near the end of her eviction.

It was revealed that twins would be entering the House, regularly changing places without the other housemates knowing—this was a twist first used on the fifth American series of Big Brother. Greg and David entered the House as a single person named Logan (their shared middle name). Their task was to remain undetected for two weeks while swapping places at Big Brother's command. The secret of the twins was discovered one week into the series by housemate Glenn, and this was revealed during Lies Exposed.

As a result, both Logans were able to continue living in the House, but would be treated as a single person in matters such as evictions and nominations. Late in the series, a special eviction was held where one twin was evicted based on the votes of the other housemates, and the remaining twin was allowed to continue in the House as a normal housemate. During this eviction process, David was evicted. However, because Greg was voted the winner, both David and Greg shared the prize equally.

=Notes=

{{refbegin}}

  • {{note|1|Note 1}}: {{Color box|#87cefa|border=darkgray}} As punishment for lying during the audition process, Constance, Dean, and Nelson were fake evicted and sent to the Holding Room. Believed to have been evicted, they could not be nominated by their housemates. On Day 9, they were informed that all three of them would be facing the public vote in a separate eviction; Constance and Nelson were evicted the following evening.
  • {{note|2|Note 2}}: Dean faced the public vote alongside nominees Angela, Geneva and Tim as a result of his previous rule break (see note 1).
  • {{note|3|Note 3}}: {{Color box|#fbf373|border=darkgray}} As new housemates, Rachael and Vesna were exempt from nominations and could not nominate or be nominated.
  • {{note|4|Note 4}}: {{Color box|#fbf373|border=darkgray}} As new housemates, Heath, Melanie and Rita were exempt from nominations and could not nominate or be nominated.
  • {{note|5|Note 5}}: On Day 59, the housemates had to decide which of the three intruders they wanted to keep in the house. They collectively decided to save Rita. Heath and Melanie then faced the public vote in a special Intruder Eviction; Heath was evicted later that night.
  • {{note|6|Note 6}}: Week 10's nominations were fake. Unbeknownst to them, their nominations didn't count, and it was revealed after voting that all housemates were nominated. In a second twist, Friday Night Live winners David & Greg were given a chance to earn safety by random choice. The Logan twins were given two boxes containing "Not Nominated" and "Nominated" cards and told to select one box. They selected the "Nominated" box, leaving their nomination intact.
  • {{note|7|Note 7}}: On Day 70, the housemates had to vote to evict one of the Logan twins in a special twin eviction. The surviving twin would still represent both Logans, and would share the prize money if they won.
  • {{note|8|Note 8}}: All housemates faced the public vote in the final week; the housemate with the fewest votes to evict on the final night was declared the winner. A special eviction occurred on Day 99 in which Vesna was evicted after receiving the most votes to evict.

Suitcase nominations

On Day 0, each housemate was called to the diary room and asked to pick another housemate to not receive their suitcase for the duration of their time in the house. Constance had the majority and lost her suitcase. The voting went as follows:

Weekly summary and highlights

class="wikitable" style="width: 96%; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"
rowspan=5 style="width: 6%;" | Week 1

| Major events ||

  • Big Brother 2005 launched with a live opening night that was broadcast around Australia. Fourteen official housemates entered the House, with another Logan twin entering the House.
  • On Day 2, the Logans swapped places for the first time, during a special show named Live Surprise.
  • Michelle's birthday was on Day 4.
Group task* Getting to know each other: The housemates were asked questions about each other. They passed the task.
Friday Night Live* Glenn won the first Friday Night Live and took Logan with him to the Rewards Room. The theme for the night was Roman. Logan came runner up
Nominations* Suitcases: One by one, each housemate went to the Diary Room and nominated the person that he or she felt least deserved their suitcase. The housemates chose Constance, and therefore she returned her suitcase and it was not given to her for the rest of her stay in the Big Brother House.
Evictions* On Day 8, Big Brother told the housemates that they were constantly told during the pre-production process, that should their relationship status change during the auditions process, that they should tell Big Brother immediately. Because Constance, Dean and Nelson did not do this, and lied to get into the House, they were all "evicted" to the Rewards Room.
rowspan=5 style="width: 6%;" | Week 2

| Major events ||

  • The three housemates previously sent to the Rewards Room were allowed back into the House.
  • Kate's birthday was on Day 10.
  • On Day 12, as part of Friday Night Live, Big Brother revealed the secret behind the checkered carpet on the wall, which was a bowling alley.
Group task* On Day 11, the housemates were told of their new task: to build the perfect housemate. They each had to have a part of their body moulded and then they were all put together to make a person. The housemates bet 100% of their budget on their task. They passed the task on Day 12.
Friday Night Live* Day 12 was Friday Night Live. Gianna won Friday Night Live, and took Christie to the Rewards Room. The theme for the night was 50's. Tim was the runner-up.
Nominations* Nominations took place on Day 9. The housemates in the eviction line-up were Geneva, Michelle and Tim. After Glenn's Three Point Twist, the eviction line-up changed to Geneva, Tim and Angela.
Evictions* Constance and Nelson were disqualified by public vote on Day 10 in a full-scale eviction. They were each told during their eviction interview that they would not receive any prizes.
