About
In 1999 De Gouden Kooi (The Golden Cage) used to be the original concept and working title for Big Brother. In 2006 it has been turned into another format of Reality Television.
The idea for De Gouden Kooi was born on Thursday, 4 September 1997 during a brainstorm session at the production house John de Mol Produkties, an independent part of Endemol. Participants were John de Mol himself, Patrick Scholtze, Bart Römer and his brother Paul Römer. After John de Mol left Endemol he reintroduced the original format for his TV-station Talpa.

Many of the reality shows now airing on TVs around the world originated from Holland. Big Brother, Fear Factor, they all came from the land of windmills and tulips. But now the Dutch have launched a new reality television format called "The Golden Cage". It's a new incarnation of Big Brother, only this show excels in pure nastiness. And apparently it's also coming to the US.
