Big Brother was invented by John de Mol, a Dutch billionaire and TV producer who invented the format in 1999. the first time it was broadcast in the Netherlands However, the program was able to be broadcast all over the world within a short amount of period of.

In Brazil the reality show was launched via the Globo network, which bought the show in 2002. Its first season, Big Brother Brazil, known as BBB was a massive success, and it achieved the highest ratings of the brazillian TV’s history , on the final program of Season One. Then the Globo produces a second season the following year, and a new season every year to date which is a total of 21 seasons.

The reality show is telecast across more than 60 countries, how do you see the popularity of these shows? What’s more, how’s it being viewed around the world? Let’s find out.

Brazil

Let’s begin with our beloved BBB which is the members of a group ranging between 12 and 20, depending on the season – who are confined to a home for a few months, typically two and a quarter or three. As the months go through, the houseguests get removed one week at a time until the final day, when the winner gets one and half million reais but in the beginning, there was a half million. The people decide the person who will be removed, based on the rules of the game. A leader – the person who wins the leader contest each week chooses one person to be evicted and the rest of the guests pick one or two persons to be evicted. Brazillians are the ones to decide. The game is marked by lots of dynamism and twists that add the intensity of the game.

Big Brother Brasil 18 had the longest contest ever. It was 43 hours long and was cancelled due to Kaysar as well as Ana Clara’s healthissues, and the guests who attended the show, declared it tied.

United States

The Americans have had 22 editions of Big Brother and the success is much greater than in the United States. Americans are glued to watching Big Brother, but the game itself is of different in the US: The audience is able to vote a few times on the twists in the game, or during the finale, when America picks the most popular houseguest who is awarded 25 thousand dollars. This is different from the winner who is awarded one million dollars, however , that winner isn’t selected by public vote however, it is decided by jury’s votes. WHAT??? Yes On Big Brother US the person known as the leader is known as the head of the household and has the obligation to choose two people for expulsion and the houseguests select who will be evicted of the home. A few of the houseguests will form the jury which will decide who will win the game on the end of the night.

Canada

Big Brother Canada is very well-known, and people from other nations stop to catch the show. it has seven seasons of the reality show Canada since it was canceled in 2020 due to the epidemic of covid-19. The game’s structure is similar to that of Big Brother Us, where the household head selects two houseguests to be exiled and the houseguests perform the job of evicting. The jury house counts and the winner will receive 100 thousand dollars from Canada. Additionally, there’s an evening when at least three houseguests are kicked out of the house! It’s the night of triple eviction. The houseguest is removed and then a new head of the household is identified but three people are nominated, with two are going to say goodbye to the rest. It was a wild night, indeed.

Australia

Australia is currently on the 12th season, despite that Australia did not have seasons until 2014. In the land of kangaroos, the format was like Brazil in that the public was making the decision on who would be kicked out and who would be the winner. The only difference is that it was announced that in the year 2020 Big Brother Australia decided to adopt the same format as Canada and the USA as well as Canada.

Italy

In Italy the show is given an additional designation: Grande Fratello and it’s divided into two kinds of formats: Grande Fratello and Grande Fratello VIP. The houseguests in the first format are not known to the public, while those of the latter are famous individuals including sub-stars actors, ex-realities, artists and others. Brazilians have been part of as part of Grande Fratello Vip, including the current season “Grande Fratello VIP 5” as well as the brazilian Dayane Mello, who’s getting too involved into the arena.

Nigeria

The final Big Brother we are going to watch more of is Big Brother Naija, from Nigeria. Houseguests compete for the cash prize of 85 million Nigerian Naira.The initial show premiered in 2006 but it was not a huge success and the ratings pushed the show unwatchable on Nigerian tv until the year 2017, when the show began on a new Network and is now an enormous success, even outside of the nation. In this instance, the dynamics are quite different. The guests choose two housemates to expel and the public chooses who gets to go home. Sometimes, the people vote for all house guests with the exception of the head of the household. He determines who will be chosen and in this manner guests decide the one who goes home.

It’s interesting to note that the reality franchise is popular all over the world across many countries and over many years! I am a fan of every one of them, and watch almost all of them LOL.
