Info

Big Brother is an Australian reality show based on the international Big Brother format created by John de Mol. Following the premise of other versions of the format, the show features a group of contestants, known as "housemates" who live together in a specially constructed house that is isolated from the outside world. The housemates are continuously monitored during their stay in the house by live television cameras as well as personal audio microphones. Throughout the course of the competition, housemates are evicted from the house - eliminated from the competition. The last remaining housemate wins the competition and is awarded a cash prize.

Big Brother Audience Reviews

Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
The Grand Master I saw parts of the first two seasons out of interest and all I can say is that Big Brother is one of the worst shows on television. Following the 2002 season, I vowed never to watch any of the future seasons.Apart from a very small handful of contestants who seem like decent people (Peter Corbett the 2002 winner was one of the few genuinely nice guys on the show), a majority of the contestants are made up of drama queens, cry babies, badly behaved bitches, egotistical jerks, bullies, deceitful backstabbers that should never be trusted, dumb people that have somehow miraculously made it through life, and generally immoral dropkicks. I also can't believe the large amount of contestants that seemingly got their big break on the show and have got their foot into the door into their entertainment industry.Although a lot of people bag Big Brother, it still manages to attract a large fan base. Following its cancellation by Channel 10 in 2008 due to dwindling ratings, Channel 9 decided to revive the show in 2012 which made no difference whatsoever. It still attracted a large fanbase but has since decreased.There are rumours that Channel 9 will not be screening Big Brother in 2015 and may have since been cancelled. If this is the case, Good Riddance, and may Big Brother stay off the air for good.1/10.
WakenPayne I have only seen one or two episodes of this utter garbage, but I feel based on that it is more than enough to review.Basically the premise is take a bunch of awful people and retards, place them in some house for three months and whoever comes out on top receives $250,000. No no no, no work or anything that would make people think "money well earned" it's just sitting around trying to boost ratings, all for the money.I will also say something right now, canceling this was the best move the 9 Network ever did. Nothing entertaining comes to ground, nothing that is in any way engaging (but that's just me). Just people sitting around talking and going through activities that make no sense.I have heard people ask what a meter is on this show. If they can't work that one out then this crap deserves to be canceled where it belongs.
livealot *SPOILERS - I GUESS*Very educational - I wasn't aware that people needed to have a cry from time to time. They can be totally fine but just want to sit down and cry for no good reason. I've never really felt the urge to have a cry unless I was very upset. I don't know anyone that has random cries.One day I walked into a room and my sister was watching this. I consider myself open-minded - willing to try anything. So I sat down and watched and submitted myself to the horror of watching a person explain for 10 minutes that they are completely fine and just need to have a "cry"This is quite honestly the worst TV show that I've ever seen. How people can consider this entertainment is beyond me. How the show producers can sleep at night is also beyond me. I try to get anyone that likes this show to read Dead Famous by Ben Elton - which deals with the whole reality buzz quite nicely. I'll finish with a quote from that book."In the early days of TV they used to stick a potter's wheel on between the programmes. Now the potter's wheel is the ******* programme"
SilverKnight Big Brother is probably one of the greatest shows ever to come out of Australia. (Actually I lie - there was Neighbours and there is Home and Away, Water Rats etc.). Anyway, although we are a day behind it's still thrilling watching Big Brother especially on eviction day. I think Gretel is an amazing host and a great comedienne. I've been watching from day one and seen everything from Andy's whips to Sharna spitting the dummy to the Anita vs. Blair bitch fight. By time this gets on the IMDB the winner may already have been announced and I wish them congratulations. I hope Sara-Marie wins because she's such a great person. She's funny and very normal (in the physical sense - she's... bigger than most stars if you know what I mean). Anyway great show Australia!!! and to all the housemates good luck in your careers. (Gretel, Ballerina, Blair & Flash ROCK!). And I don't think that many of the housemates realise that they are also famous in New Zealand. Pete knows as does Flash.BTWMark Ferguson is our host in New Zealand as well as Gretel. He introduces and concludes the show so in as much sense should be credited after all it wasn't an Australian who put the Big Brother titles in... it was me, a pure bred Kiwi.
