Big Brother is a reality show that first started in 1997 with a Dutch version and it was created by John De Mol. It has since become worldwide and can be seen in countries all over the world.
Participants (or house guests) live together in a large house and are video recorded 24 hours a day. They have no contact with the outside world, other than what the producers allow. There is no media, no books, and no contact with family or friends allowed. They live like this for up to 3 months (depending on how long they last without getting kicked out!).
