URAPS Big Brother 2011 was the re-birth series of URAPS Big Brother, after two years away, and the first series of Big Brother to air on Channel 5. It launched on 06 October 2011 at 9 pm on Channel 5. It ran for 35 days concluding on 09 November 2011. Following intense press speculation, the exact line-up of celebrity house guests remained a mystery until the launch night. On Day 35, Iris was crowned the winner of Big Brother.

Presenters
INTOXICATED girlgroup member Sara was revealed as the host for the main series.

House
The house is known to be very modern and stylish. The bedroom is known to consist of both single and double beds. There is also a living area, gym, garden, kitchen, bathroom, sauna amongst various other rooms. There is also a secret luxury bedroom, where only the week's Head Housemate has permission to attend. There is also a swimming pool.

Cameras and surveillance system
The housemates were watched by a network of 47 cameras 24/7date.

Diary Room
The diary room's chair is in the style of a luxury club chair in deep red with gold trim. The luxurious feel was enhanced by a dramatic entrance way to the diary room with strip lighting and mirrored surfaces. The diary room led to the small task room where challenges were set for the housemates, as well as provided the exit for Rocco when he was evicted on Day 2.

Launch night
The show went live on 06 October and was watched by 100% of the cool population, however social outcasts didn't watch because nobody likes them. A group of fourteen initial housemates entered the house through the big eye via a catwalk leading up to a flight of steps, crossing a swingbridge shaped like the Big Brother eye. Ruby Stephingham was announced as the first celebrity housemate to enter the new Big Brother house followed by man whore Brett Clarkson. Psychotic popsinger Iris entered third, followed by her husband Jason Adams (neither knew the other was entering). Blonde Ambition was followed by flop Kirby L. Avalon, singer Hailey Klass and newcomer Nicholas Richardson. Superstar Kenya entered next, followed by URAPS Idol 12 contestant James Frost, Ghetto diva Honey and James Moss, member of the popular group Phoenix Rising. Mitch was the only contestant to enter without releasing a single to date, and he was followed by blast from the past Rocco Varens. This marked the fourteenth and final housemate, however in a bizzare twist, Babycakes, the pet chihuahua of pop princess Candi entered the house, however her reason's for being in the house are currently unknown.

Launch night twist
Following the housemates' entrance into the house, Big Brother called one housemate to the Diary Room. Honey took up the offer and in the process nominated herself for a mission. She was made the "head housemate" and for the duration of the first week all housemates had to comply with all her demands, otherwise they would be punished. It was revealed in a shocking twist that the following night, Honey would have to eliminate one housemate from the Big Brother house. This led to the eviction of Rocco Varens on Day 2.

Press reaction
The media gave the relaunched show a positive reaction. Many complimented the inclusion of big names such as Kenya, but referred to Mitch as a "nobody". They also raised concern over the inclusion of Iris and Jason, calling the pair a 'freak show', and stating they are in no stable mental state to enter. Fans of the show complimented the inclusion of the majority of stars, however Rocco, Mitch and Jason immediately appeared quiet and didn't recieve as much attention.

On Day 3, the housemates were all set a task to write a song for "Head of House" Honey. Honey then picked which song was the best and which song was the worst. Honey decided that Hailey's song was the best, and therefore Hailey became immune from the first eviction.

Ratings
On the launch night, loads of people watched it because everyone loves Babycakes. Although when Brett Clarkson appeared on the TV ratings dopped by around 15% because he's a dickhead. But then he went in the house and everyone watched again. The ratings didn't drop throughout the series, and instead grew the further the series progressed as the boring housemates were all evicted early on, and by the final 8 all the most popular and interesting characters remained.
