''Big Brother 2008'', also known as ''Big Brother 9'', was the ninth series of the British reality television series ''Big Brother'', that aired on Channel 4 and E4. The series launched on 5 June 2008, and ran for 13 weeks until 5 September 2008. The winner was Rachel Rice, who beat bookies' favourite〔 〕 Michael Hughes in the final vote with 51.3%. At the time of the series, ''Big Brother 9'' was the least watched summer series in Big Brother's history, until the following series, with an average of only 3.6 million, down on ''Big Brother 8''s by 0.3m. No housemates in this series were represented in ''Ultimate Big Brother'', a mini-series to mark the end of ''Big Brother'' on Channel 4. However Rex, Kathreya and Stuart entered to take part in tasks. ==Broadcasts== The series was launched on 5 June 2008, and ran for 13 weeks until 5 September 2008. This series started later than normal. It was rumoured that this was so that it did not clash with ''Britain's Got Talent'', which was being aired on ITV during May. Auditions were held from 21 November 2007 to 25 January 2008. The main show for the program was a highlights show, shown at 10pm on Monday to Wednesday, then at 9pm on Thursday to Sunday, with each program lasting an hour. Each Friday a housemate was evicted, the announcement of the loser of the public vote was announced live by Davina McCall at the end of the first of two programs shown on the Friday. There was then a second program at 10.30pm when McCall interviews the evictee, this second program usually lasted until 11.00pm, unless there was a change in plans (such as new housemates going in or a double eviction) then the program was longer. For the first time since Big Brother 4 all of McCall's interactions with the house (except for the final night) took place in a studio to stop the crowd chants from influencing the housemates and to enforce the fundamental rule of "no contact with the outside world." This new medium of communicating with the house would continue into the next celebrity and civilian series. In the final week, the Monday program was moved to 9pm, there were two programs broadcast on the Tuesday, both hosted by McCall, the first at 8pm and the second at 10pm, when two Housemates were evicted. On Wednesday and Thursday the highlights show was shown at 9pm. Then for the finale there were two programs starting at 8pm and 10.30pm with an hour and half hour break in between. Live streaming on E4 of events in the house was again missing because of the decision to keep E4 Music during the series' run rather than taking a break until the series is over. For the first time in the show's history, there was no live web stream. The series was accompanied with the shows ''Big Brother's Big Mouth'', ''Big Brother's Little Brother'' and ''Diary Room Uncut''.〔Channel 4 Spring/Summer 2008 press release〕 Zezi Ifore and George Lamb replaced Dermot O'Leary as the hosts of ''Big Brother's Little Brother'' whilst ''Big Brother's Big Mouth'' was hosted by a different guest host each week, beginning with Jack Whitehall. Chris Moyles took over for the first ''full'' week inside the Big Brother House. The weekly podcast made by the housemates in BB8 was axed for BB9, with a 60-minute radio show ''Big Brother's Big Ears'' as its replacement. Like the podcast, it was available for download on the Channel 4 website and was hosted by Iain Lee and Gemma Cairney. It aired twice a week on a Tuesday and Friday (after the Live Eviction) at 11.30pm. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Big Brother 9 (UK)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
