Fantasy Big Brother 2010 was the second series of the reality television series Big Brother, a series in which a number of people live in an isolated House being watched by cameras 24/7. Each week, the housemates nominated their fellow housemates for eviction with one person being evicted every Sunday. The series launched on Saturday June 262010 and ran for 7 weeks until 15 August, with the winner receiving a "£250,000" prize.
Alexandra, Josh, Nadia, Daniel, Lisa, Jessica and Corin entered on Day 1.
Ryan, Michael and Saoirse entered the Secret Room on Day 3.
Tasks
On Day 1, housemates were split into two teams based on their gender and were asked to cycle an exercise bike to keep a lamp on. The team who had their lamp on the longest would win the task and would have to “evict” a member of the other team from the House. The females won the task and chose to “evict” Daniel.
On Day 6, five housemates were chosen to take part in the first House Leader task was set – a soccer penalty shoot-out. One housemate was chosen as the goalkeeper and was ineligible to compete. The housemate to score the most penalty kicks would become the House Leader, be immune from eviction and would be allowed to watch a movie containing Saoirse later that night. Corin won the task.
On Day 7, housemates started an American shopping task to celebrate Independence Day:
Jessica, Nadia and Saoirse had to make and cook 20 apple pies over Day 7 and Day 8. Each pie made would give the housemates £20.
Everytime Big Brother played the song “Get Your Head in the Game” into the House, Daniel, Josh, Michael and Ryan (who had to be dressed a llamas over the task) had to go to a basketball court and score one basket each within five minutes. Each basket scored would give the housemates £1 and wearing the llama costumes at all times gave a bonus of £25 each.
Alexandra and Lisa had to practise log rolling on Day 8 and on Day 9, they had to stay together on the log for two consecutive minutes. Each second on the log at the test on Day 9 added £1 to the shopping budget.
On Day 9, House Leader and President Corin had to make a speech at a special buffet for the housemates to celebrate Independence Day and had to be addressed as Mr. President for the duration of the task. Creating a good enough speech added £100 to the shopping budget.
Housemates made £347 over the course of the task, which four housemates then had to gamble on slot machines to make £450 within 45 minutes. They passed this task and won a luxury shopping budget next week.
Twists
After the females chose to evict Daniel, Daniel was taken to the secret room and was joined by three new housemates. They were then all given a task to protect their own secrets. Daniel was asked to dress as a woman and maintain his cover after he entered the House. Michael was the brother of Lisa, Ryan was a soccer player and Saoirse was an actress. Any housemate whose secret was discovered was put up for the public vote this week.
Exits
Ryan was evicted on Day 10 with 63.6% of the public vote.
Week 2[]
Day 11 → Day 16 (July 6 → July 11)
Tasks
For the House Leader task, each housemate was individually put into a room filled with red objects and a black chair. Housemates had to figure out that all they had to do to pass the task was to sit on the chair. Nadia, the quickest housemate to do so, won the task and became the House Leader.
On Day 13, housemates started a "Punishment Week" shopping task where housemates had to take part in a number of punishments which completing would add money to the shopping budget.
On Day 13, Corin, Daniel and Jessica had to paint a picture and then sit in silence watching it dry.
On Day 14, Saoirse dressed up as Justin Bieber and Jessica and Lisa dressed as fangirls. They were then locked in solitary confinement where Bieber's song "One Less Lonely Girl" was played on a loudspeaker in a loop for 4 hours. Then, later in the day, Lisa the fangirl had to "marry" Justin Bieber.
Alexandra and Jessica had to campaign for men's rights for 12 hours on Day 15.
On Day 15, Jessica, Josh and Michael were put into the 25oC task room in their underwear. The temperature in the task room was decreased by 1oC every minute until the temperature reached -20oC. The longer they lasted in the room, the more money they earned.
Exits
Corin was the second housemate to be evicted from the House on Day 16.

Tasks
For this week's House Leader task, housemates took part in a game of the Weakest Link against each other. When only two housemates remained in the game, they answered 5 questions each and whoever answered more correctly became the House Leader. Alexandra won the task.
For this week's shopping task, housemates played in 3 game shows - Dress As Your Answer, Blankety Blank and Blind Mate - each having an opportunity to get money for the shopping budget. Housemates earned £165 for next week's shopping.

Tasks
The three non-housemates competed for the title of mini-house leader on Day 24. Each housemate had to play a putting game and the non-housemate to get the golf ball in the hole in the fewest amount of shots became mini-house leader. Princess won the task and was given a more comfortable bed, a special dinner prepared by the housemates in the main house and a chance to sell herself to the public so they would vote for her to become a housemate.
On Day 24, housemates competed in a task to gain access to the party room with new housemate Jon. Each housemate answered a question about Jon and housemates who answered correctly gained access to the room. Daniel, Josh and Saoirse answered correctly and Jon was allowed to take another housemate with him to the room. He chose Alexandra.
For the shopping task, housemates were split into two bands, Lisa's Ladies (consisting of Alexandra, Josh, Khongordzol, Lisa and Nadia) and the Smustlers (consisting of Daniel, Jon, Michael, Princess and Saoirse). Each band had to create their own original song to perform for the eviction crowd outside on Sunday night. The Smustlers won the task and the housemates won immunity from eviction next week and were the only housemates eligible to become House Leader.
Exits
Taylor was evicted on Day 27 without ever entering the main house.
Michael and Daniel became the 4th and 5th housemates to be evicted from the House on Day 30 with 5.1% and 10.5% of the public vote to save respectively.

On Day 34, housemates began a pirate themed shopping task comprising of 2 tasks.
One of Jon, Josh and Khongordzol had to be on the crow's nest of a pirate ship at all times for the duration of the task. Whenever they see an enemy, they had to shout on the housemates.
When the housemates heard the shout, Lisa or Nadia had to defeat the enemy by turning a wooden pirate using a sword. The person who was not first to do this had to jump off the plank of the ship into a pond.
