Big Brother

Big Brother is an American reality show/game show. Each summer, several people take up residence inside the Big Brother House. The House has the rooms needed for living (kitchen, bedroom, etc), as well as a Diary Room (where housemates share thoughts and talk to producers). Every word they say is recorded by microphones and every move they make is caught on camera. These actions are broadcast live to the Internet for free. Housemates enter hoping to win the $750,000 prize fund. One at a time, they are voted out by the public. The last one standing is the winner.
Live shows are hosted by Davina McCall.
==Format==
A typical week has four elements. There is a shopping task, a different type of task, nominations, and eviction. During the first season housemates competed for types of foods during the Shopping Task. (For instances if housemates earned fruit, they would have an unliminted supply of that. If they failed to earn meat, they would have no meat for the week.) During Season 2, the format changed considerably and housemates earned a budget. if housemates do well in the Shopping Task, they will earn a luxury budget (usually of $7 per head per day). If they fail, they will earn a basic budget (usually of $3 per head per day). Housemates can purchase food, mystery prizes, and luxuries from the Shopping Budget. During Seasons 2 through 6, the shopping was ordered through a magazine and housemates wrote requests on a chalkboard. However, during Season 7, a store was added to the House. Each week, 2 housemates have 20 minutes to gather what they want from the store, scan it, and bag it. Housemates have an ulimited supply of "Big Brother Slop" to eat if they get hungry.
===Nominations===
Each week, two or more housemates face the public vote to evict. There are often twists along the way. During a normal week, each housemates names two nominees secretly. Those nominees each recieve a point. The two or more housemates with the most points face eviction. Housemates are forbidden from discussing or hinting at nominations past, present, or future, except under certain circumstances.
===Evictons===
During the live shows on Fridays, the public votes for one nominee to be evicted. This is done via phone lines and the Internet. The Housemate with the most votes is revealed and removed from the House live. He or she is then interviewed by host Davina McCall.
