Big Brother 10 (Datria)

Big Brother 10 was the tenth season of the Datrian version of Big Brother. Channel 7 confirmed this season and Big Brother 11 on November 15, 2010, with auditions for the tenth season taking place from December 4, 2010, to March 1, 2011. This season was the longest in the series, lasting 140 days from May 8, 2011, to September 24, 2011, and, with 26 housemates, had the most housemates in the show's history. After 20 weeks, Christof McLeish became the season's winner over Rita Curiel and Veronica Rookard by a 6-3-0 vote.

Big Brother 10 had plenty of hype built around it before it aired with it being the tenth season of the show, but fans and critics are split regarding the season's quality. While Big Brother 10 is praised for its abundant personalities and cutthroat nature, many critics deride the season as being too long while the strategy of the game lagged at times since many believed it teetered on being too one-sided. Average viewership for the show dropped by 15% from the previous season, which many viewers attribute to the duration of the season.

Twists

 * Partnered Housemates - When the 20 original housemates entered the house, they were immediately separated into 10 pairs of two, one male and one female. The duos would play as one housemate, with one pair being Co-Heads of Household and with two pairs being nominated each week. The housemates voted in pairs and were evicted as pairs as well. The twist ended after four weeks. The pairs were as follows:
 * Annie Hinge and Nicolas Sasser
 * Brianna Taft and J.B. Crepeau
 * Christof McLeish and Penny Tasat
 * Clara Beardslee and Xavier Murray
 * Hans Falsey and Susie May Dilwali
 * Ian Danis and Zoe Klemperer
 * James Nighman and Janice Longmire
 * Laura Lehming and Ron McMorrow
 * Luis Bol and Mona Bamberg
 * Matty Wamback and Veronica Rookard
 * Intruding Housemates - Throughout the season, a pair of one male and one female would enter the house as intruding housemates. The two, however, would play as individuals and not as a pair. The two would also be immune from eviction the week they enter. Intruding housemates entered the house in weeks five, seven, and nine.
