I'm not a TV addicted, when I have time, I'm pretty much interested in sports events and some live music performances. Once in a while I zap to a movie.
However, every beginning of a new year, maybe because i have lots of spare time, I get my attention directed to a certain reality show. First I say, huummm the contestans this year are not that interesting. It's an attempt to not stay tuned to that. But it's just a matter of time, in this case the first eviction. It's done. I'm already contaminated by this virus. What is really intriguing for me is to observe the different personalities living together, dealing with their own demons/conflits and fighting to stay the longest possible in the show. Here goes a little description of this show across the globe. Big Brother.
Big Brother is a reality tv show where, in each series, a group of people live together in the Big Brother House, isolated from the outside world but continuously watched by television cameras. Each series lasts for around three months, and there are usually fewer than 16 participants. The housemates try to win a cash prize by avoiding periodic evictions from the house. The idea for the show came during a brainstorm session at the production house of John de Mol Produkties (an independent part of Endemol) on September 4, 1997. The first Big Brother broadcast was in the Netherlands in 1999 on the Veronica TV channel. It has been a prime-time hit in almost 70 countries.
Though each country has made its own adaptations and changes to the format, the general concept has stayed the same: "housemates" are confined to a specially designed house where their every action is recorded by cameras and microphones at all times and they are not permitted any contact with the outside world.
In most versions, at regular intervals, normally once weekly (introduced in the UK version, although in most early series it was every two weeks), the housemates are invited to vote to have one of a number of nominated housemates evicted from the House. In some cases, two housemates may be evicted simultaneously (a "double eviction"), or rarely, no housemates will be removed for that week. At the end of the game, the last remaining housemate is declared winner of that particular series and receives prizes, often including a large amount of money, a car, a holiday and (in some editions) a house.

Big Brother Brasil has introduced a currency, the "Estaleca" (Z$), used by the housemates on the weekly shopping of groceries and other useful goods for the house. It also introduced the "Big Phone" feature, which consists on prizes or punishments to whomever answers the phone (or, if allowed, to someone else of their choice); sometimes housemates are sent straight to the elimination match just because they answered it.
The 9th Brazilian season featured the "Bubble", a glass house built inside a mall in Rio de Janeiro where 4 housemate-wannabes lived for a week until 2 of them were voted to enter the actual household. Later in the same season, a new "Bubble" was built inside the Big Brother household, with another 2 housemates living inside it for a week until they were voted in and the glass house dismantled.

Well, I am contaminated too. In the begining, I thought that the people was very normal, didn't has anything different. But
started the argue, the differents opinions and now I'm addicted. It's interesting know about reality tv show and the Big Brother Brazil introduced many things in each edition.
I loved the big brother in the first editions, but every year gets more boring and repetitive.
In the beginning, everyone is a friend of everybody and then they create the "clique" (Panelinhas). But sometimes I watch to see if something different happens.
I prefer to watch television series such as Lost, House, Dexter, The Big Bang Theory, and others than reality shows. :D
I don't watch BBB, sometimes I see something about. But one thing I know, all the players are so crazy. Stay in a closed house for three months is madness.
I don't watch BBB, i think bore. But, sometimes i read about it on the internet.
Well, BBB is interesting and funny. See the fights, and discusions are comic, however, I don't know if that is true. In my opinion it's a fake program. There much peoples and prograns of tv are talking that BBB is false, and I agree but watch. kkk
