About

Big Brother is a reality television format. In each series, which lasts for around three months, a number of people (normally fewer than fifteen at any one time) live together full-time in a 'Big Brother House', isolated from the outside world but under the continuous gaze of television cameras. The houseguests try to win a cash prize by avoiding periodic, usually publicly-voted, evictions from the house. The 'real life soap', was invented by the Dutchman John de Mol and developed by his production company, Endemol. It has been a prime-time hit in almost 70 different countries. The show's name comes from George Orwell's 1949 novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, in which Big Brother is the all-seeing leader of the dystopian Oceania.
