Seed ( sports ) - wikipedia Seed ( sports ) Jump to : navigation , search See also : Single - elimination tournament A seed is a competitor or team in a sport or other tournament who is given a preliminary ranking for the purposes of the draw . Players / teams are `` planted '' into the bracket in a manner that is typically intended so that the best do not meet until later in the competition . The term was first used in tennis , and is based on the idea of laying out a tournament ladder by arranging slips of paper with the names of players on them the way seeds or seedlings are arranged in a garden : smaller plants up front , larger ones behind . Contents ( hide ) 1 Tennis 2 Other sports 3 See also 4 References Tennis ( edit ) One version of seeding is where brackets are set up so that the quarterfinal pairings ( barring any upsets ) would be the 1 seed vs. the 8 seed , 2 vs. 7 , 3 vs. 6 and 4 vs. 5 ; however , this is not the procedure that is followed in most tennis tournaments , where the 1 and 2 seeds are placed in separate brackets , but then the 3 and 4 seeds are assigned to their brackets randomly , and so too are seeds 5 through 8 , and so on . This may result in some brackets consisting of stronger players than other brackets , and since only the top 32 players are seeded in Tennis Grand Slam tournaments , it is conceivable that the 33rd best player in a 128 - player field could end up playing the top seed in the first round . A good example of this occurring was when World No. 33 Florian Mayer was drawn against ( and eventually defeated by ) then - World No. 1 Novak Djokovic in the first round of the 2013 Wimbledon Championships , in what was also a rematch of a quarter - final from the previous year . Rankings of tennis players , based on a history of performance , tend to change positions gradually , and so a more `` equitable '' method of determining the pairings might result in many of the same head - to - head match - ups being repeated in successive tournaments . First round Quarterfinals Semifinals Finals 16 8 8 9 5 12 5 13 6 11 6 14 7 10 7 15 Sometimes the remaining competitors in a single - elimination tournament will be `` re-seeded '' so that the highest surviving seed is made to play the lowest surviving seed in the next round , the second - highest plays the second - lowest , etc . This may be done after each round , or only at selected intervals . Other sports ( edit ) In American team sports , MLS , NFL and WNBA employ re-seeding in MLS Cup Playoffs , NFL playoffs & WNBA Playoffs , respectively , while the NBA and the NCAA college basketball postseason tournaments do not ; the NHL 's Stanley Cup Playoffs formerly used re-seeding between 1994 and 2013 . MLB does not have enough teams in its playoff tournament where re-seeding would make a difference in the matchups . ( The MLS and NFL are at the minimum , which is 6 from each conference ( or league in MLB ) for a total of 12 . ) The NBA 's format calls for the winner of the conference quarterfinal series between the first and eighth seeds ( within each of the two conferences the league has ) to face the winner of the other series between the fourth and fifth seeds in the next round , even if one or more of the top three seeds had been upset in their first - round series ; critics have claimed that this gives a team fighting for the fifth and sixth seeding positions near the end of the regular season an incentive to tank ( deliberately lose ) games , so as to finish sixth and thus avoid a possible matchup with the top seed until one round later . So will the winner of the second and seventh seeds to take on the winner of the third and sixth seeds . In some situations , a seeding restriction will be implemented ; from 1975 until 1989 in the NFL and from 1998 until 2011 in MLB there was a rule where at the conference or league semifinal , should the top seed and last seed ( wild card ) be from the same division , they may not play each other ; in that case , the top seed plays the worst division champion ; the second - best division champion plays the wild card team . In international fencing competitions , it is common to have a group stage . Participants are divided in groups of 6 -- 7 fencers who play a round - robin tournament , and a ranking is calculated from the consolidated group results . Single elimination is seeded from this ranking .

List of Celebrity Big Brother ( UK ) housemates - wikipedia List of Celebrity Big Brother ( UK ) housemates This is the latest accepted revision , reviewed on 21 April 2018 . Jump to : navigation , search Celebrity Big Brother is a spin - off of the British reality television series Big Brother , broadcast in the UK and Ireland . Originally broadcast on Channel 4 and E4 and now broadcast on Channel 5 and 5Star , it involves a group of celebrities , called housemates , living in isolation from the outside world in a custom - built `` house '' . The actions of the participants are recorded constantly by microphones and cameras situated in each room . Regularly , the housemates nominate two other members of the group each to face eviction ; those with the most nominations face a public telephone vote , and the housemate who receives the most public votes is evicted . This procedure continues until the final day , when the viewers vote for who of the remaining participants they want to win the programme . Profits from premium - rate telephone votes are donated to charities such as Comic Relief , Centrepoint and Samaritans . Contents ( hide ) 1 Programme 2 Housemates 2.1 Notes 2.2 Statistics 2.3 Deaths 3 Guests 4 International versions 5 References 6 External links Programme ( edit ) Twenty - one editions of Celebrity Big Brother have been made , involving a total of 262 housemates . The programme has been the centre of controversies over the actions and inclusion of some of its housemates . For instance , viewer and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals ( PETA ) complaints prompted Hertfordshire Police to remove a coat from the 2006 edition after Pete Burns claimed that it was made from gorilla fur and therefore against the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species agreement of 1975 . However , after an analysis at the Natural History Museum , it was later discovered that the coat was made from the fur of Colobus monkeys . Fellow members of parliament criticised George Galloway 's participation in the same series , stating that Galloway had missed important debates regarding his constituency , Bethnal Green and Bow , and rejecting claims that Galloway took part to raise political awareness amongst the British youth . The family of Stuart Lubbock , a man who died in Michael Barrymore 's swimming pool , criticised the programme makers for paying the entertainer £ 150,000 to participate on the programme . The mental states of the contestants were called into question during the first series ; psychologist Mark Griffiths highlighted behaviour displayed by Anthea Turner and Vanessa Feltz as examples of the negative effects of the programme . Germaine Greer voluntarily left the 2005 series after accusing the producers of using `` superior bullying '' tactics against contestants ; commentators such as Graham Norton have argued that the housemates are not `` actual celebrities '' . During the 2009 series , 527 viewers complained to Ofcom , the majority concerned about Coolio 's conduct towards female contestants , but it was decided that the broadcaster 's code was not breached . Comments made by Heidi Fleiss also proved controversial during the final series to air on Channel 4 of the programme in 2010 ; she accused Ivana Trump of smuggling drugs onto the programme , a claim that Trump 's spokesperson denied , and made comments about abortion that attracted criticism . During the 2007 series , comments directed to and made about Shilpa Shetty from Jade Goody , Danielle Lloyd , Jo O'Meara and Jack Tweed caused an international racism controversy . The British and Indian governments commented on the issue , while Ofcom decreed that Channel 4 had been guilty of `` serious editorial misjudgements '' after 54,000 viewers claimed that Shetty had been the victim of racial discrimination . The broadcaster was made to air a series of on - air apologies , and the programme was not included in Channel 4 's 2008 schedule ; it was replaced by Big Brother : Celebrity Hijack . In 2009 , Channel 4 's director of television Kevin Lygo announced that Big Brother `` had reached a natural end point '' and the 2010 edition was the final celebrity series to air on the channel . However , Channel 5 stated in April 2011 that it has signed a two - year deal with Endemol , the show 's creators , to air both version of the programme for a reported £ 220m . The series started on 18 August 2011 and former Big Brother winner Brian Dowling replaced Davina McCall as the programme 's presenter . Dowling presented the programme until January 2013 , his final series being Celebrity Big Brother 11 . Since the twelfth series of the show , Emma Willis has presented . Housemates ( edit ) Jack Dee won the first edition of the programme . Jade Goody 's involvement in a racism controversy sparked an international debate in the 2007 edition . Alex Reid was the winner of the seventh and final Celebrity Big Brother to air on Channel 4 . Atomic Kitten singer and reality television star Kerry Katona was the runner - up of the eighth series which was the first to air on Channel 5 . Jeremy Jackson ( left ) was one of two contestants to be removed from the programme after breaching the rules in the fifteenth series . This was the first edition of Celebrity Big Brother to feature a housemate leaving the show in this manner . Reality TV star , drag queen and singer Shane Jenek / Courtney Act is the most recent winner after winning the twenty - first series on 2 February 2018 .
