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.
