Big Brother
Big Brother takes place entirely within the confines of the Big Brother House, where the object is to be the last remaining housemate. At least one housemate will leave the house every week by a process of nomination and public eviction. Housemates will nominate each other for eviction, and those with the most votes from their peers face a public vote. The housemate that receives most public votes leaves the house and is out of the competition. Housemates are provided with a shopping budget each week to buy food and other necessities. Throughout the series, housemates will be asked to complete tasks set by Big Brother; if the group does well in the tasks, they are rewarded with a bigger shopping budget, plus special treats. On the final night, the public will vote on which housemate they want to win the show. The housemate with most votes wins a large cash prize.

The Auditions
57 mins
The audition process. Big Brother is a game show in which a group of contestants, referred to as housemates, live in isolation from the outside world in a custom built "house", constantly under video surveillance. During their time in the house, the housemates are required to nominate two of their fellow contestants for potential eviction, and the two or more with the most votes would be nominated. This process is mandatory for all housemates, and failure to comply could result in expulsion from the house. During the show's broadcast, the viewers would vote to evict one of the nominated housemates, and the housemate with the most votes would be removed from the house.
