Big Brother (Datria)

Big Brother is the Datrian version of the Dutch reality show Big Brother. The show first premiered on Monday, June 11, 2001, under the name The Spy on Channel 7. Even though it was a modest success for the network, the show was cancelled. The show was later revived as Big Brother on Friday, June 22, 2002, having been bought by The 10 in between shows. The show has been hosted by Damian Rockman since its original debut in 2001.

Format
The rules of the show are no different than the U.S. edition of Big Brother. Each week, one person will win the title of Head of Household. The housemates will also compete in weekly competitions for food, luxuries, or rewards. During the middle of the week, the Head of Household would have to nominate two housemates for eviction. At the end of the week, the remaining housemates must then vote to evict one of the two nominees. The nominee with the most votes is evicted from the Big Brother house. The process continues until there are two or three housemates left. The previously evicted housemates must then vote for one of the finalists to win. The housemate with the most votes wins the game.

The Spy
During Big Brother's original airing under the name The Spy, housemates nominated two individuals for banishment every week. The public would then vote to banish one of the two nominees. In the final week, three housemates remained, and the public would vote for a winner out of the three. The one who had the most votes would be the winner of the top prize.

Season 4
The 2005 season of Big Brother is the only season (as of 2012) to stray from the traditional format of the show. Each week, at least one of the housemates would win the Power of Veto, giving them an exemption from nominations that week. All of the housemates would then have to nominate of the housemates for eviction. Any housemate that has received a nomination would be put up for eviction. The public would then vote to evict one of the nominees. The housemate with the most votes would be evicted from the house. The season reverted back to the original format after three weeks, due to the unsuccessful results of new the format.
