Season 1

Big Daddy Season 1, also known as Season 1, was the first season of the British game show series Big Daddy. It began on January 18, 2016 on Facebook Messenger for 16 days, concluding on February 2, 2016 when Nadia Hadj-Aissa was crowned the winner with eleven votes from the evicted Sackmates. She won a crown and trophy.

Season 1 of Big Daddy is radically different from following seasons of the series. It was loosely based off the hit Netherlands series of Big Brother. There was no Head of Sack this season, instead every day the Sackmates would participate in a game that had numerous rounds, the first person to correctly answer each round was deemed safe and couldn't face eviction that day. If you failed to win a round or didn't show up that day you would become nominated and face eviction. Each game varied in how many people were nominated with four being the maximum and two the minimum. The fellow Sackmates would then vote, and the player with the most votes would be evicted. On Finale night, all former sackmates returned to vote for a winner.

There were 5 games every week: a hour live game from Monday-Thursday & Sunday, there was also occasionally twists that could take part on any day like late arrivals or birthday treats


 * Rounds - each game consisted of multiple rounds, whoever was first to win each round would then become safe. The last two sackmates left once all rounds had been played would face eviction.
 * Absent - If a player was unable to attend the days game/vote then they would automatically face eviction unless they gave a few hours warning.
 * Vote to save - If four or more players faced eviction one could be saved in a vote to save. Once somebody had been saved the eviction would progress as normal. However there wasnt a vote to save in round 14 when Nadia, Katie, Flo and Rosie were nominated.
 * Non Eviction round - Day 7 was a non elimination round, players weren't told this until after the eviction votes were read.
 * Birthday Boxes - As Ruby's birthday was on day 8 she was offered the chance to win some prizes. There were 8 boxes she could pick from all containing different prizes, however one box contained a monster and if she picked that box the treat was over and she had to keep what she had. She won immunity for the round, the power to vote twice and the power to bring back an evicted player. She chose to bring Rosie back.
 * Shock Evictions -  Shock evictions were similar to the double evictions in BBUS/BBCAN where two rounds are played in one day with 2 or more players being evicted. This happened on days 8,11 and 14.
 * Buybacks -  This season had a lot of different types of buybacks. Amelia returned to the game because Rosie walked and they were nominated together day 1. Rosie returned becuase Ruby brought her back with her power, Benj beat the other eliminated players at a competition and returned, Jude, Flo, Ruby and Nia were all brought back due to twists.
 * 3 returning players - The original final 5 players were sent an image with 10 doors and told that behind each one was either a prize, nothing or an eliminated player. The four remaining players all got to pick one door each, Benj chose door 7 and brought Nia back, Nadia chose door 1 and brought Ruby back, Rosie chose door 10 and got nothing, Asha chose door 9 and brought Flo back and Katie chose door 4 and got nothing.
 * Quadruple eviction -  Players were warned that with 3 people returning there would be a mass eviction to get them back to the intended 4 for day 15. The first eviction played out as normal with a game and then eviction with Katie leaving. Then the players were told that EVERYONE would be facing eviction and whoever received 2 or more votes would also be evicted. Flo, Rosie and Nia all tied with 2 and were therefor evicted. Asha received 1 vote


 * Jury - Players didnt find out until finale night that the eliminated players would be voting for who they wanted to finish in third place and also who they wanted to win the season.
