Big Brother Australia is a reality television series produced by Endemol Southern Star, and shown on Australian television network Network Ten and in New Zealand TV2 and Prime, until 2006. The premise of the gameshow is a number of contestants throughout Australia live in an isolated compound in Dreamworld, Queensland where their daily lives are recorded and broadcast on national television. Housemates try to avoid being evicted through a public vote, with the aim of becoming the finalist and winning a large cash prize of $1 million at the end of a series.

Auditorium

All seasons of big brother from 2001 to present have used an open aired Auditorium where all the main shows are hosted in front of a live audience at Dreamworld, Australia. The Auditorium has about 30 rows of chairs split into 2 with an isle down the middle. The chairs reach right up to the stage. There is also a grass area at the back of the auditorium (cheapest tickets) where audience members bring their own chairs/blankets to sit on. This area is sometimes unavailable on airing nights due to weather conditions as it isn't undercover. The stage features Many LCD TVs on the wall playing looped videos of the big brother animated logo and pictures of a housemate that's on the stage at the time. Underneath the stage are different coloured lights. In 2005-2007 there was a large plasma screen in the middle of the stage that was also a door. The screen would split into two pieces when it was opened.

Format

Big Brother Australia is based on the international Big Brother series produced by Endemol in the Netherlands which began in 1999. The show's name comes from George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), which revolves around a dystopia in which dictator Big Brother is the all-seeing leader. The series generally constitutes 14 or more contestants who live in an isolated house for several months. Housemates are at all times under the control of Big Brother, a rule enforcing authority figure who monitors behaviour of the housemates, set tasks and punishments and provides the mechanism for contestants to make external requests.

Housemates are filmed 24 hours per day with edited highlights broadcast during prime time slots, and late night footage broadcast live. Live footage is also broadcast via the Internet using Internet streaming. Housemates must remain in the house, and avoid being evicted by viewers of the show with the aim of winning a substantial cash prize at the end of the series. In order to support the housemates' emotional well-being, all participants have access to the Big Brother psychologist Carmel Hill at all times. After the series, housemates are required to attend regular promotional appearances around Australia at nightclubs in most capital cities; however this is not compulsory.^{[citation needed]} Prime time is the block of programming on television during the middle of the evening. ...

Prize money

The eventual winner of Big Brother Australia receives a cash prize as a reward for being the last remaining housemate in their series. In Big Brother 2001, Big Brother 2002, and Big Brother 2003, the cash prize stood at a guaranteed $250,000 AUD, without inclination of the fines system. In Big Brother 2004, the prize money was raised to a guaranteed $1,000,000, without inclination of the fines system. Big Brother 2005 and Big Brother 2006 both continued to offer the $1,000,000 prize money, however, with the introduction of the fines system, the winner of Big Brother 2005 received $836,000 in prize money. The winner of Big Brother 2006 received $426,000.^[6] Housemates in Big Brother 2005 and Big Brother 2006 were given opportunities to regain lost prize money in special Friday Night Live events named The Prize Fight.

Fines

Big Brother 2005 introduced a fines system in which the $1,000,000 AUD cash prize is decreased by $5,000 each time a housemates violates a Big Brother rule. The house used for the 2006 season featured a Punishment Room, which was revealed following the first week of that season, where housemates would sometimes be sent for punishment additional to the $5,000 fine. In Big Brother 2007, monetary fines were subtracted from the household budget rather than from the prize money, but the Punishment Room remained and was in use from the outset. Current speculation is that this year there will be no fines in the 8th season of Big Brother. // Big Brother Australia 2005 was the fifth series of Big Brother Australia, and was aired on Network Ten in Australia, and TV-2 in New Zealand with a four-week delay. ...

Secret Nominations

A fundamental and strongly-enforced rule of Big Brother Australia is that nominations, and the use of the Twist, are not to be discussed at all. Specifically, all housemates are forbidden from disclosing who they have previously nominated, who they plan to nominate in the future, or who their Twist has been used on; and they must not engage in conjecture about who may attract nomination votes and why. These discussions are banned and are deemed collusion by Big Brother, as they may give housemates a competitive advantage. Breaking this rule incurs fines, punishment, or loss of the right to nominate in the following round.

During the 2007 series, a new rule allows that the winner of Friday Night Games and their chosen companion in the rewards room, may privately discuss who they plan to nominate whilst in the rewards room.

Intruders

Every series of Big Brother Australia has included "Intruders": new housemates added to the house by the show's producers as an on-going housemate after the series has started. Producers try to add housemates that they think might stir things up, or add a significant change to the house. They are eligible to win the final prize. They usually don't last very long in the house, however in Big Brother 2007, Zach made it to the final 2 and missed the win by 2%.

Location

The purpose built Big Brother house/studio is located at Dreamworld, a theme park attraction located at Coomera a northern suburb of the Gold Coast in Queensland. The interior of the house is rebuilt between each season, unlike the exterior of the house which is nothing more than a large shell housing the interior and camera runs, the interior has seen some large changes over the years. Filming typically runs between April until July. The house is open to the public after the show until late December, after this the interior of the house goes under renovation from January until April.

Only slight modifications were made to the interior of the house for the second season and the special Celebrity Big Brother Australia series that were screened in 2002. Subsequent to those seasons the interior of the house has either been rebuilt or extensively re-modeled for each new series. In one season the house had been re-configured mid-series revealing previously hidden additional function rooms or private areas. Two houses were built for Big Brother 2003, and they were merged 23 days into the season when previously hidden connecting rooms were revealed. In 2005 the interior of the house was extensively rebuilt where the external kitchen was moved back into the main house and the external kitchen area was replaced with the FNL arena. In 2006 an animal enclosure was added to the side of the compound.

Theme music

The theme is titled Big Brother theme, and was adapted from the original theme used in the first ever series of Big Brother, which aired in the Netherlands. The theme for Big Brother Australia was written by Siew Ooi and 001 Productions in Melbourne. The track is an extended version of the main title theme used in the first two seasons of Big Brother Australia, and tracks heard throughout the seasons that followed are shorter, remixed versions of this track. The original track can sometimes be heard in the background when eviction votes, or the nomination tally in the Nominations show, are shown on screen, or when eviction phone numbers are announced during a show.

It barely scraped in the top 50, but was re-released a few months later where it reached #12 on the ARIA charts in 2001 with a B-Side of The Sirens' hit "Don't You Think That It's Strange", which was also co-written by Big Brother 2001 housemates; the Diary Room mix; and an extended version of the Big Brother Uncut theme.

Companion shows

During each series, specific elements of the competition have a special show dedicated to them, usually presented on a specific evening. Each weeknight and on Sunday evenings a compilation of the general events in the House for the previous day are presented. All live shows are broadcast with a 30-second delay so that images or language that cannot be broadcast due to Australia's censorship laws can be cut. These programs add up to approximately 16 hours per week. No Big Brother shows are broadcast on Saturdays. Australia is a federation[1], and responsibility for censorship is divided between the states and the federal government. ...

Daily Show

The Daily Show is aired every weekday at 7:00pm—7:30pm and most Sundays at 6:30pm—7:30. On screen it simply carries the title Big Brother. It reports on the previous day's happenings inside the House. Sunday editions cover the preceding Friday and Saturday. The Daily Show is narrated by Mike Goldman.

UpLate

Big Brother: UpLate is a late-night show screened every weeknight throughout each Big Brother series. The show airs at 11:15pm on Monday—Thursdays, 10:30pm on Fridays and 10:10pm. Usually, the program runs in between 60 and 120 minutes and is hosted by Mike Goldman. The show was first introduced with Big Brother 2003. The show features live footage from the House; interviews with evicted housemates; and brain teasers where viewers attempt to solve challenges such as word games, and may phone in for a chance to win $1000 AUD. An online stream was made available for the 2006 season at QuizTV.com.au specifically for viewers in states that do not receive UpLate live on television (i.e. South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory), enabling them to enter the competitions. It was possible for this stream to be viewed by those outside of Australia. During the 2007 season of Big Brother a Sunday evening edition of the show was added.

Nominations

Big Brother Nominations is aired on Monday evenings after the Daily Show. Nominations airs footage of the housemates as they each decide in the Diary Room who they would like to nominate for eviction. In the first series of Big Brother, there was no special show for nominations; they were simply shown as a part of the Daily Show on Tuesday evening. Housemates also did not have to give reasons for their nominations during the first season. Nominations were not live during Big Brother 2005, but the announcement of who would be up for eviction was. Housemates each have three points to appoint to two other housemates. Their first nomination appoints two nomination points to a housemate, the second gives another housemate one point. If Big Brother feels a housemate's nomination is not clear and concise, he can give the nominating housemate one point. The three housemates with the highest number of points are revealed to the House. In the case of a third place tie, all those tying for third place would be eligible for eviction, on these occasions more than three housemates would be up for eviction. // Big Brother Australia 2005 was the fifth series of Big Brother Australia, and was aired on Network Ten in Australia, and TV-2 in New Zealand with a four-week delay. ...

An innovation introduced in Big Brother 2005 was the Three Point Twist whereby the winner of Friday Night Live must subtract three nomination points from one of the nominated housemates. If they themselves are included in the original lineup of potential evictees they may opt to subtract the points from themself. This occurs after the initial nominations have been announced to all housemates, and while housemates may not discuss which housemate they remove points from, where the line-up changes it is often clear which housemate has had their nomination points deducted. The three housemates with the highest number of nomination points after the Three Point Twist will face eviction. Again in the case of a third place tie, more than three housemates may be up for eviction. The Three Point Twist got its name as part of a sponsorship deal with KFC. Big Brother 2007 introduced a new version of the "nominations twist" where the winner of Friday Night Games must now entirely remove a housemate who is nominated for eviction, and then nominate a new housemate to be up for eviction. KFC, also known as Kentucky Fried Chicken, is a food chain based in Louisville, Kentucky, known mainly for its fried chicken. ...

In the 2008 season, the nominations show will be merged with the Live Evictions to keep with the new, tighter format.

Eviction

Housemate evictions occur in a program titled Big Brother Live Eviction. The housemate who has attracted the most viewer votes to evict is evicted. The eviction shows are televisied each Sunday night at 7:30pm (Australian Eastern Standard Time). Actual proceedings start a short time before 7:30pm in front of a live audience at Dreamworld. These shows are hosted by Gretel Killeen and are broadcast live. In this show usually one housemate, but occasionally two, is evicted from the house, usually at around 7:45-8:00pm. Shows that feature two evictions are called Double Eviction. The first Australian Double Eviction, described in advertising hyperbole as a "world first", took place during Big Brother 2002. Big Brother 2006 added the save vote, allowing viewers to vote to save a housemate as well as evict; in the final tally housemates' save votes are subtracted from their evict votes.

In Big Brother 2004 after the eviction of Bree Amer, it was found the votes for that eviction had been incorrectly counted.^[8] Amer had not received the most eviction votes, and she took up the option of returning to the house the following Monday night. A special eviction was held on the following Thursday evening in which the housemate to actually receive the most votes, Wesley Denning, was evicted. A representative of Legion Interactive, the company that manages eviction votes and compiles the results, appeared on the second eviction show to explain how the error occurred.

Friday Night Live returned for Big Brother 2006. A fourth prize was added for the winner, a "luckydip" type prize draw where they are presented with three boxes, each containing a prize, and may choose one box, not knowing what any of the boxes contains. The three boxes are themed on a specific country, and the three boxes featured a holiday to that country after the conclusion of the competition, a privilege that may be used within the house (such as laundry services or a special dinner), and a booby prize. Booby prizes have included a bow tie and a chunk of Camembert cheese. On one occasion the three boxes were replaced with a special prize where the winner was allowed to go on an excursion outside the Big Brother House to Tiger Island at Dreamworld, where they were treated to a feast and a tiger show. They then had the entire park to themselves for a night. The winner on this occasion was Gaelan, who invited Krystal to share in his prize. On a second occasion, the winner of Friday Night Live, Jamie, was given the four usual prizes, and a fifth "mystery prize". The prize involved Jamie and the person he invited to the Rewards Room, Chris, leaving the House to get a first go on FlowRider, a new ride at Dreamworld. // Big Brother is a reality TV program, shown on the Australian channel Network Ten, in which a number of contestants from throughout Australia live in an isolated compound (known as the house), where their daily lives are recorded and broadcasted on national Australian television. ... // Big Brother Australia 2006 was the sixth series of Big Brother Australia, and was aired on Network Ten in Australia. ...

For the Big Brother 2007 season Friday Night Live remained largely unchanged. For this season the prize boxes generally contained an overseas holiday, a large item such as expensive watches or a scooter, and a booby prize. But a twist in the power to change the nominations lineup made this a more valuable than ever prize for the winner of Friday Night Live in Big Brother 2007 as they were able to remove themselves altogether (if nominated) or another housemate from the nominees for that week, and replace them with another housemate, rather than in the last two series where the winner had the power to change nominations by deducting 3 points from a nominee. The Friday Night Live format was reused in the Network Ten spinoff series Friday Night Games which began in February 2006 and ended before Big Brother resumed for 2006. This weekly program is also filmed at Dreamworld, and features two teams of celebrities (who are joined by members of the public) to compete in a series of games.

Finale

The Finale of Big Brother Australia is a significant event conducted in front of an audience at Dreamworld and broadcast live on television, for as long as three hours, and has been known to progress even longer in some seasons. In all Australian series the Finale features footage from the final day in the house, by which time there are only two housemates remaining, culminating in the announcement of the winner. Usually the runner-up leaves the house in the manner of an evicted housemate, and is interviewed by Gretel Killeen on stage. Later the winner is asked to leave the house, finally joining Gretel on stage as well. The final two housemates of Big Brother 2004 and Big Brother 2005 left the House together, and were on stage with Gretel when the winner of those seasons was announced. Big Brother 2006 returned to the original format where the winner is announced while the final two housemates are in the House, and they both left separately. Big Brother Australia 2004 was the fourth series of Big Brother Australia, and was aired on Network Ten, starting on Sunday May 2, 2004, with the housemates entering the day before; and ended on Monday July 26, 2004, lasting 87 days. ... // Big Brother Australia 2005 was the fifth series of Big Brother Australia, and was aired on Network Ten in Australia, and TV-2 in New Zealand with a four-week delay. ... // Big Brother Australia 2006 was the sixth series of Big Brother Australia, and was aired on Network Ten in Australia. ...

Previous housemates of the season sometimes put on a musical or dance performance. Sometimes the performance is set to popular music and is based on several of the tasks the housemates had participated in during the season. In 2006, Danielle Foote sang her single, while the other housemates did dance routines around her, using costumes and elements from the ballet task, the pirate task and the cheerleading task. Of the 7 seasons of Big Brother Australia thus far, 5 of the winners have been male.

Uncut / Adults Only

Originally named Big Brother Uncut, and renamed Big Brother: Adults Only for Big Brother 2006, this program showcased adult content from the Big Brother House unsuitable for the early evening Daily Show. This mainly consisted of footage of the housemates showering, general risque behaviour, and discussions about sexual matters. Each episode was one hour long. During the early seasons of Big Brother it aired at 9:30pm on Thursday nights. It later switched to 9:30pm Monday nights, and then 9:40pm Monday nights. It was rated MA15+ (deemed unsuitable for viewers under the age of 15), and hosted by Gretel Killeen. // Big Brother Australia 2006 was the sixth series of Big Brother Australia, and was aired on Network Ten in Australia. ...

The 2006 series of Big Brother: Adults Only ended early after politicians warned Network Ten that its screening of the show could harm its push for media reforms.^[10]^[11] The last episode of Adults Only was aired on 19 June 2006. is the 170th day of the year (171st in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

The program was not produced for the 2007 season of Big Brother Australia. That season's host Gretel Killeen, and producer Kris Noble, cited the absence of the program as a reason for the 2007 season's reduced ratings.

Criticism and controversy

While Big Brother Australia has managed to lure millions of viewers a week, the television show has received a large amount of criticism from media and audiences for its sexual content and sexual discussions and language. Thus, as a result, it is occasionally referred to as "Big Brothel" with reference to the sexual content of the Uncut episode.^[12] The criticism has even been voiced within the Australian Government, with one politician referring to it as "...toxic television..."^[13] Complaints about Uncut led to it being rebranded Big Brother: Adults Only for the 2006 season. Adults Only was cancelled early in the series due to continuing controversy.^[14]

After the 2005 series, complaints prompted the Australian Communications and Media Authority to launch an investigation into Big Brother: Uncut.^[15] The main complaint was that Network Ten had breached the industry code of practice by broadcasting footage that went past the maximum MA15+ rating for Australian commercial television. The ACMA found Network Ten had breached the code on two occasions: the airing of housemate Michael massaging Gianna with his penis exposed, and the song about sexual fetishes.^[16] The ACMA did not impose any direct punishment on Network Ten, however outlined requirements for the 2006 series of Uncut. Included in those requirements is a commitment by Network Ten to compile show footage far enough in the future so that censors can edit it if necessary. Two censors were taken on by the network specifically for Big Brother, and crew were trained on the restrictions of the MA15+ television rating. As a result, the show was renamed Big Brother: Adults Only for the 2006 season.

2006 alleged sexual assault controversy

On July 1, 2006 two housemates, Michael Cox (using the alias Ashley for the show) and Michael Bric (using the alias John), were removed from the house for allegedly sexually assaulting a female housemate, Camilla Halliwell,^[17] in a season of the series that had already attracted significant controversy. Following the incident the live feed was temporarily replaced by an old UpLate update of the housemates completing their football task, continuously looped^{[citation needed]}, and the forums on the Big Brother website were removed. Queensland Police were shown the relevant footage, but opted not to conduct a criminal investigation.^[18] Subsequent to this incident former housemate Rita Lazzarotto reported that she had been subjected to a similar incident during her time in the Big Brother house in the 2005 series.^[19] // Big Brother Australia 2006 was the sixth series of Big Brother Australia, and was aired on Network Ten in Australia. ... is the 182nd day of the year (183rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Australian Prime Minister John Howard asked for Big Brother to be cancelled, saying, "Here's a great opportunity for Channel 10 to do a bit of self-regulation and get this stupid program off the air"; Leader of the Opposition Kim Beazley and Senator Steve Fielding supported this view.
