Season overview
Big Brother 10, also known as Big Brother 2009, was the tenth series of the British reality television series Big Brother. The series began on 4 June 2009 and aired on Channel 4 and E4 for a duration of 93 days, concluding on 4 September 2009. The format involved a group of housemates living in the Big Brother House under constant surveillance by cameras and microphones. Each week, viewers decided which housemates from a selection would be evicted, culminating in a final vote to crown a winner. The season featured 22 participants, though four individuals left the programme voluntarily. Sophie Dogface Reade won the series with 74.4% of the viewer's vote. While the housemates originally competed for a prize of £100,000, rule-breaking by participants resulted in the prize being reduced to £71,320. The series was sponsored by Lucozade and was noted for attracting controversy regarding accusations of bullying and concerns for housemate welfare. It became the least-watched series in Big Brother UK history until 2011.
