Big Brother is a TV reality show with many different versions across the world. It is a group of contestants (called housemates) who live in a house together and are isolated from the rest of the world. The winner gets money as a prize.

Original logo

Contestants, known as housemates, enter a house and they do not bring any of their belongings except clothes. They are completely cut-off from the outside world and are watched by cameras every day. Housemates must complete tasks so that they can get food or other prizes. As the series goes on, the housemates get voted out by the viewers until only one remains. There is also a celebrity version of Big Brother.

Big Brother around the world[change | change source]

Countries with a series of Big Brother

The series was developed by Endemol, and the first season was shown in the Netherlands. The show's format has since been copied in over forty countries, including Brazil, Israel, Bulgaria, Germany, Italy, Spain, India, United Kingdom and US.

Special editions[change | change source]

In some countries, there are also special editions of the show, for example Big Brother VIP or Big Brother: All Stars. Usually, some of the rules in these special editions are a little bit different from the original ones.

Big Brother VIP / Celebrity Big Brother[change | change source]

Big Brother VIP is the name of the special edition of the show, in which all the housemates are famous people. It has been released in many of the countries airing Big Brother, for example Bulgaria - VIP Brother; Mexico - Big Brother VIP; UK - Celebrity Big Brother. The duration of the show is often only a month and in some countries the nominations and evictions are twice a week. Sometimes the big prize is given for charity or there is no big prize at all.

Versions[change | change source]

As of 17 March 2024, Big Brother has produced 508 winners in over 63 franchises.
