Controversy
- There was controversy about the voting and auditing process after M-Net did not produce proper voting results on day 42. This led to people concluding that the whole show was planned and viewers were fooled that they were the ones influencing voting results as they thought M-Net and Endemol were influencing the game to gain more profits.
Mnet released the clarified results audited and verified by Ernst & Young the following day after the controversy.
- Ernest and Bhoke (the couple dubbed "EBhok") were hugely criticised for having sex in the Big Brother house.
- There was controversy surrounding Luclay's punishment as it was not done accordingly. The punishment involved Luclay taking over all dish washing duties for as long as he is part of the Big brother show. This was not done and viewers felt that it was not fair since Lotus was evicted because of the same confrontation with Luclay.
