The original series
“Big Brother” is one of the most popular reality TV shows. It is based on a Dutch television series of the same name developed by John de Mol in 1997. The show follows a group of contestants who live together in a custom-built house under strict supervision.
The housemates have no internet connection, television, mobile phone, wrist watch, or any other accessories. The winner of the show walks away with a cool $500,000.
Since its inception, “Big Brother” has been hosted by Julie Chen, who is one of the most popular reality TV hosts. Previously, the show was criticized for depicting violence in the house.
Also, there were incidents of physical and mental strain, which ruined the reputation of the series to a certain extent. Back in 2015, the format of the show was changed a bit to avoid all these problems. In 2004, the show got a spinoff titled “House Calls: The Big Brother Talk Show.”
