Big Brother is the British fanfic version of the international reality television franchise Big Brother. Initially preceded by unrelated fanfic seasons of Sims 2, 3 and 4 Big Brother seasons hosted individually by both Simon and James, the 2020 reboot was launched as part of a major new crossover reality series. The show follows a number of contestants, known as housemates, who are isolated from the outside world for an extended period of time in a custom built house. Each week, one of the housemates is evicted by a public vote, with the last housemate remaining winning a cash prize. The series premiered in March, 2020 and was an immediate hit with the hosts, spanning many future seasons and related reality franchises.
The show has currently aired eighteen complete seasons (including three All-Stars season). It is expected to continue with a eighteenth season in the coming weeks.
==Format==
A select number of 'housemates' enter on Day 1 (typically sixteen, but was increased to twenty from the third season and several following). Each week (excluding those with twists), the three or more housemates with the most votes face eviction. The reason for the rules being changed from two-three minimum is due to the fear that head-to-head evictions typically force bigger characters out the house earlier. The series also features a vote to save rather than evict, as a vote to save makes it harder for Simon and James (who are each given 20% to distribute at each eviction) to control the outcome. Several twists have featured prominently in respective seasons, including house divides based on status, a duos twist and a rich-poor type divide. Generally, both hosts prefer a back-to-basics theme.
