Big Brother

Promi Big Brother is a German television reality show based on the Dutch show Big Brother , created by producer John de Mol in 1997, which is airing from 2013. The show followed a number of celebrity contestants, known as Promis (lit. Celebrities), who were isolated from the outside world for an extended period of time in a custom-built Set. In Season 1–7, after the second week, every day, one of the housemates was evicted by a public vote, with the last housemate, named the winner. For the first time, season 8 of Promi Big Brother aired for three weeks.

Promi Big Brother follows in his conception the basic idea of Big Brother. For a given period of time, several people live in a television studio set up as a living environment, the so-called "container". The daily routine is structured by the production company, which appears as the computer voice "Big Brother". Competitions are held or assignments are given to the participants of the show.

The lives of the participants, who are referred to as "celebrities" in the program and in the title, are recorded around the clock by television cameras and microphones and broadcast live in the form of live broadcasts or as a compilation.

Prize money

The winner of Promi Big Brother receives a cash prize for being the last remaining housemate.

Since the second season, the participants are divided into two different areas: In addition to a luxurious area, there is an area in which the participants live in poor conditions. The distribution of the participants can be changed by spectator ratings, arbitrary stage directions or since the third season also due to the outcome of duels.

In seasons 2 to 4 attention was paid to an even distribution of the participants (per area six people). Since the fifth season, there is often an uneven distribution. For example, on the second day of the sixth season, three participants lived in the luxurious area, while the other nine participants had to live in the poor area.

Since the fifth season, both areas are on one level. In the previous three seasons, there were two levels.

In season 10, participants were divided into three areas.

Nomination and voting

Since the second season, participants have nominated one other participant each day from the second live show to leave the house or show. Afterward, the audience selects by televoting a participant from the nomination list, which should remain in the house or in the show. The one who has received the least audience votes must leave. If a housemate voluntarily leaves the house (or for other reasons), the eviction will expire on the appropriate number of days. After two weeks, there will be the finale at the end of the season, in which four of the last five remaining participants fall out. The last one remaining is the winner of the season.

In the first season, the one who got the most audience votes had to leave.
