Timeline


The third series saw two early walkouts, by housemates Sunita and Sandy. Sandy surprised his fellow housemates as well as the production team by urinating in a bin, scaling a wall and escaping over a roof whilst the rest of the housemates watched the England v Brazil World Cup Quarter final match.[1] Sunita was replaced by Sophie, and Sandy by Tim.
For a period the house was split in two, creating 'rich' and 'poor' houses.[2] Those on one side had more luxuries and better food than those on the other. A weekly task, shown live on Saturday nights, determined which housemates lived on which side of the divide. Kate and Jonny spent more time on the poor side of the house than any other contestant, which may have fostered sympathy for them from the viewers.

Housemates


Jade Goody

Jade Goody began her TV career as a housemate in this series, gaining notoriety for her apparent lack of general knowledge. Amongst other things, she thought that Sherlock Holmes invented the toilet, that Rio de Janeiro was
a person and that East Anglia (or as she pronounced it, East Angular) was a foreign country.
Tabloid newspapers took an instant dislike to Jade. Within the first 10 days of the start of the series, The Sun had nicknamed her Miss Piggy[3], installed her as favourite for eviction[4] and branded her a "big mouth"[3]. TV presenter Graham Norton was an early driving force in the campaign against Jade[6] with monologues in his chat show focused on her rather porcine features ("Jade is afraid to eat fruit. She thinks if the others see her with an apple in her mouth, they'll roast her")[6].
The hate campaign launched against Jade had so much momentum that The Sun branded her Public Enemy No 1 [8]. Jade was hot favourite to be evicted[8] and yet on July 8th, The Sun published an article in which it accused Big Brother makers of toning down its coverage to show a quieter Jade — and a bitchy Adele Roberts 'amid fears Jade may crack up or try to sue when she leaves the show and learns how viewers see her.'[10]
Channel 4 denied that they manipulated the coverage of Jade to keep her in the house
[11] Nevertheless, that week many opinion forming Channel 4 TV shows (RI:SE, SO Graham Norton) made a U-turn and campaigned to keep Jade in the house and evict Adele[12]. Graham Norton began to champion Jade saying "Jade may be a stupid pig but she’s by far the most entertaining person in the house - and at least she’s not evil like Adele[12]. The following week, Jade was saved from eviction again when nominations were cancelled and PJ was evicted after having to draw lots.
As a result of Channel 4's alleged pro-Jade campaign, public opinion changed towards Goody and she eventually came 4th and enjoyed success as a public personality after the end of the series, admitting in Sky One's show ''Why reality TV is good for you'' that she is a millionairess.
Alex Sibley

Alex Sibley also became a popular figure due to his obsession with cleaning the house, and ended up in ''Domestos'' commercials, singing along to ''KC & The Sunshine Band's hit ''That's the Way (I Like It)''. This followed a comical incident in the house when he mimed along to the song after hiding behind a door.[14]. In Big Brother 8, Alex briefly returned to the programme after appearing in a 'time-traveller" task in which two of the 2007 contestants travelled back to 2002 and completed a series of tasks.
Kate Lawler

The eventual winner of the £70,000 prize was Kate Lawler, a former tech support administrator from Kent.[15] She went on to co-present Channel 4's breakfast TV show, ; she also dated footballer Jonathan Woodgate and is now a disc jockey.

Trivia


A fad developed in the house was a game called ''Follow the Van''. In one of the weekly shopping deliveries was a fluorescent ''Mystery Machine'' van, being a ''Sugar Puffs'' promotional toy. It was finally revealed on the reunion show that it involved following the van with your lips, and kissing where it came into contact with someone.
The series resulted in the first 'Big Brother marriage', with Sophie and Lee marrying and having a child. They have since separated in 2006.
The final of this series drew 7.1 million viewers.[16] Votes in the final week totalled 8.6 million[17]

Notes


All the housemates faced the public vote this week. Jade and Lynne received the most votes. The remaining housemates then voted to evict one of the two, and they unanimously voted to evict Lynne.
In week 4, Jade was banned from nominating, after discussing nominations.
There were no nominations in Week 7. Kate and PJ were selected for eviction by drawing lots during the live Saturday task.
There were no nominations in the final week. Also, the viewers voted on the housemate to win, rather than evicted.
