This series lasted for 11 weeks, currently the third-longest that the series has run for. It was won by Anthony Hutton. The show surpassed Big Brother 4 and received the lowest viewer ratings of all the Big Brother series due to having housemates who were considered unpopular with the viewers, as a result when they were evicted, the majority of them were greeted with negative reception from the crowd and post eviction wise, none of them has managed to sustain a long term showbiz career, making it the fewest amount of contestants to do so in any series within a year after the show ended. Craig Coates is unique in having a string of failed businesses since his appearance.

The sixth series began on 27 May 2005 and ended on 12 August of the same year. The broadcaster, Channel 4, made their previously subscription-only E4 channel available on Freeview from the start of this series.

Pre-series

The first reports of this series were announced in March 2005 when Channel 4 confirmed that Big Brother would return for its sixth series in the summer of that year. Within that announcement the company revealed that host Davina McCall, Big Brother's Little Brother presenter Dermot O'Leary, and Big Brother's Big Mouth (called Big Brother's EForum the previous year) host Russell Brand would return along with the show. Soon after, Channel 4 programming director Kevin Lygo told the press that Big Brother 5's "evil" theme would not return despite its success the previous year and that the programme would be renewed for 2006 and beyond.

In April, Channel 4 confirmed that Big Brother 6 would start on 27 May 2005, in keeping with the tradition that Big Brother UK would start in late May. On 30 April 2005, Channel 4 revealed the eye for the series, a sliced mirror of alternating black and blue strips, in reality two eyes on top of each other. This helped fuel rumours about two houses, an idea that although never coming to fruition, was put into practice during the 2003 series of Big Brother in Australia. On 9 May 2005, Channel 4 began airing countdown bumpers, starting at eighteen days rather than the usual ten days before the launch; subsequent series began airing countdown bumpers ten days before the premiere. Channel 4 contradicted itself two days before the launch show, confirming that Big Brother 6 would, in fact, be evil. The broadcaster also told the press that there would be thirteen housemates with a theme of "unlucky thirteen," inspired by triskaidekaphobia.

The House

The House for Big Brother 2005 was a radical change from the oppressive and angled house from the previous year. House designer Patrick Watson described the design as "[A]spirational and yet not wildly practical." Although the House is still quite small, light pale colours and high camera angles give the viewer the impression that the House is larger than it actually is. Watson also revealed that he accomplished this by extensively utilising mirrors for an airier and cooler atmosphere. Channel 4 described the House as the boldest one at the time and Watson stated it to be complementary to "iPod neutrality."

Pictures of the House were released on 24 May 2005, revealing the outdoor shower and pool. There is a row of three outdoor showers that replace the need for a complete bathroom; a sink and toilet are inside despite having an outdoor sink. The tiled floor leads onto the wooden deck of the pool, this year a circular pool positioned in a corner of the garden. The other side of the showers leads towards the slightly elevated glass-box lounge that originally had mult-levelled green couches but were eventually replaced with low orange ones.

More pictures were released to the press later in the day. These depicted the exterior of the Diary Room, this year a chaotic web of sliced and angled mirrors giving housemates a distorted reflection of the rest of the house. These pictures also showed that the house was composed of one main, column-free, airy room with cream-coloured carpeting on which the dining table rested and an elevated kitchen containing a row of yellow cabinets. For the first time, an American-style refrigerator was utilised, giving the housemates more space for food and located next to the store-room. However, the glass wall that allowed housemates to view the bedroom from the living area was disguised as a mirror to ensure that viewers would not be able to count how many housemates would be in the House. Finally, only a few days before launch night, pictures of a loft in the garden leaked to the press. On Day 1, it was shown that it was painted green rather than the pink shown in the pictures.

The Secret Garden

The Secret Garden was first used on Day 29, when Big Brother contestants Kinga Karolczak, Orlaith McAllister and Eugene Sully secretly entered the house, minutes after Roberto Conte was evicted. For several days, the three housemates had to live in the Secret Garden, with only Makosi knowing their existence.

The Secret Garden was decorated like a jungle, and the three secret housemates were initially only supplied with fig leaves to cover only the main essentials of their bodies. This created the idea of an Adam and Eve style jungle. With Makosi's help, they had to steal clothes and food from the main Big Brother House when the other housemates were asleep, and to make sure that the other housemates did not find out about them.

The secret housemates were forced to live in the garden for several days. At the end of their stay, Makosi who had to choose two of the three secret housemates to enter the main house. She chose Orlaith and Eugene, although Kinga re-entered the house after Orlaith walked out on Day 65.

Housemates

See List of Big Brother 2005 housemates (UK) for more information 13 housemates entered the house on Day 1. In Week 5, three other housemates entered the Secret Garden. Makosi then chose two of them to enter the main house, Orlaithe and Eugene. When Orlaithe voluntarily left weeks later, the third housemates from the Secret Garden, Kinga rentered the house.

Weekly summary

Week 1	Tasks	The "unlucky thirteenth" housemate was chosen randomly on Day One as Makosi, when she was first to respond to a call by Big Brother for "a housemate" to go to the diary room. Makosi was told she would automatically be up for eviction that week unless she managed to get the most nominations from her housemates, in which case she had to nominate two people for eviction. She was to keep this task secret. Makosi succeeded in her secret mission and chose Craig and Mary to be up for eviction on 3 June 2005. Mary was the viewers' choice for eviction. On Day 3, housemates had to paint portraits of each other, to hang in the living area. Also, On Day 4, housemates had to each perform a rap about each other to win Mary a birthday party and earlier paint each other.
	Exits	Mary was evicted on Day 8.
Week 2	Punishments	In a conversation with Lesley, Vanessa broke the game rules by discussing whom she would be nominating. Although the nominations still took place, Big Brother decided to ignore the results and ruled that, for the first time in the UK series, every housemate would be up for eviction.
	Exits	Lesley was evicted on Day 15.
Week 3	Punishments	In Week 3, Craig, Derek and Roberto were banned from nominating after talking about the nomination procedure, breaking a key rule. Clips of their discussions (mainly concerning Saskia) were played into the house via the plasma screen in the living room. Craig left the room during the clips.
	Exits	Sam was evicted on Day 22.
Week 4	Tasks	On Day 24, Big Brother set the housemates the Room 101 task. Maxwell selected himself to be worker number one, automatically making him the unlucky worker. Maxwell was assigned to disgusting tasks such as sorting maggots. The true task was for the other housemates to convince Maxwell that they were all doing the same tasks that he was performing whilst in reality living in luxury. The housemates passed the task and won a luxury budget. Maxwell began his cider stash during this week, which would later lead to a comfrontation with Makosi.
	Exits	Roberto was evicted on Day 29.
Week 5	Tasks	On Day 30, less than 24 hours after Kinga, Eugene and Orlaith had entered the Secret Garden, a red button appeared in the main house. Makosi pressed the button and was immediately called to the Diary Room. She entered the Secret Garden, met Kinga, Eugene and Orlaith, and was instructed to help them by stealing food and other supplies from the main house. If she failed to do so or was discovered by her fellow housemates, she would be automatically put up for the public vote. Makosi was successful in her task. Before completing the task, Makosi had to evict one housemate from the secret garden " she chose Kinga who later returned to the Big Brother house on Day 66 to replace Orlaith who walked a day earlier.
	Punishments	For the third time, nominations had been discussed, this time between Maxwell and Anthony, so they were banned from nominating.
	Exits	Saskia was evicted on Day 36.
Week 6	Exits	Maxwell was evicted on Day 43.
Week 7	Tasks	Big Brother played mind games with the housemates, informing them that during the week Big Brother would lie twice. Big Brother then told housemates that nominations that week were optional. This was Big Brother's first lie. All nominations are compulsory, so the housemates who did not nominate were put to the public vote as punishment. When the results of the nominations were announced Big Brother stated that Anthony, Craig and Kemal were up for eviction. This was Big Brother's second lie. In fact, these three were the only housemates to nominate, so it was everyone else who was subject to the public vote.
	Exits	The housemates had to pick whom to evict out of the two people with the most votes. These turned out to be Makosi and Vanessa, with Makosi receiving the largest percentage of votes. All of the housemates with the exception of Kemal chose Vanessa to be the 7th person to leave, so on Day 50, Vanessa was evicted from the house.
Week 8	Exits	Science was evicted On Day 57.
Week 9	Tasks	the housemates were given a secret agent task to complete. Kemal was randomly being selected to be a double agent for this task. The housemates failed to realise this, so passed the task. Derek, whom they thought was the Double Agent, was sent into hiding overnight.
	Exits	Kemal was evicted on Day 64.
Week 10	Tasks	On Day 66, Kinga entered the house as Orlaith's replacement. As she was sent in, she was told that if she got at least one person to not nominate her this week, she will be immune from eviction and definitely be in the house for the final week and will be eligible to win. She managed to pass the task easily, receiving no nominations at all.
	Exits	Orlaith walked voluntarily on Day 65. Derek was evicted on Day 71.
Week 11	Tasks	About one hour after Craig was evicted, Big Brother called a housemate to the Diary Room and Eugene was first to respond. He sat down behind a suitcase containing £50,000 in cash - half the actual winner's prize money. Big Brother told him he had the option of winning this half of the prize, leaving the other half for the winner. Big Brother told the remaining housemates that if he turned down the money, the prize money would double to £200,000. Eugene was given one minute to make to his decision while he was watched on screen by the rest of the housemates. After about 50 seconds, Eugene had made his decision and chose to take the £50,000.
	Exits	On Day 76, during dinner, Craig was evicted in a surprise mid-week eviction, for being the housemate to have received the least votes (only 4.1%) from the public to win Big Brother on Wednesday evening. On Day 78, the final, Kinga received the least number of public votes (3% of the four-way total) and came in 4th place. Makosi came third with 7% of the three-way vote. Eugene was next to leave, coming second with 27% of the final two-way vote. With 63% of the two-way vote, Anthony was the winner of Big Brother 2005.
