Big Brother 4

## Opening Sequence

**Big Brother 4** is the fourth season of *Big Brother Croatia* that began on 7 September 2007 and ended on 21 December 2007. The maximum prize was 1.5 million HRK (200 000 EUR). Every successful weekly task increased the final prize by the same amount. Producers introduced penalties as a response to criticism of the second season, when they were perceived to be too tolerant of contestants' misbehavior. At the end of the show the prize was 1,005,000 HRK. Vedran was the winner of the show. In the fourth season 14 housemates entered the house.

## Background

This season was in the style of glamor and extravagance, and the house was also remodeled in that style. The slogan of this season was "No mercy!", and her anthem performed by Colonia was called "Under a lucky star".

The innovation in the show was the secret house where at the beginning of the show the housemates moved in after they left the big house by the votes of the viewers or according to the decision of Big Brother. By following the rules of the secret house, after the time set by Big Brother, they were given a choice: return to the big house or a cash prize. After the secret housemates returned to the big house, the secret house became a space where all the tenants could stay. In addition to the secret house, a new feature was the telephone through which Big Brother informed the tenants about good and bad news.

## Season Summary

In the first week, Big Brother decided to nominate the housemates from the room that is weaker in completing the weekly task. It was the purple room. All other tenants were not nominated. At the end of the week and the votes of the viewers, Valentino left the house and moved to a secret house. On the same day (14th day), Stjepan also moved to the secret house, but by random choice - when he answered the phone on the 12th day of his stay in the house.

The third house was left by Vita, who was moved to a secret house after regular nominations and audience voting.

After a little less than a month of staying in the house, Hrvoje left the house of his own free will, and Big Brother announced his new decision to the tenants: every Monday, they will receive news that can be true or false. The first news was that two new tenants are coming to the tenants on Friday: one as a replacement for Hrvoje, and the other as a replacement for one of them. During the week, the tenants had to give Big Brother their reasons why they should stay, or why someone else should leave the house.

On Friday, they learned that no one was entering or leaving the house. On Friday, day 35, Big Brother announced public nominations to the housemates. Tenants nominated other tenants face to face. That evening, Ivana, Goran, Mirela and Senka were nominated. Mirela was moved to a secret house. On the same day, the "Golden Tenant" Mateja entered the secret Big Brother house. Secret tenants Stjepan, Valentino, Vita and Mirela are nominated to return to the house.

Mateja became a secret agent provocateur of BB House. At night, she carried out diversionary attacks on the main BB house. Big Brother told the residents of the big house this as news on Mondays.

Friday of that week (day 49) was full of surprises. Mateja entered the big house, but through the confessional. The tenants of the big house found out the identity of her provocateur. After a few minutes, Antonija informed the tenants that there was also a secret house. Also, she told them that a secret tenant would return to them. After Valentin and Mirela left the secret house, Stjepan entered the big house. Only Vita remained in the secret house, who was informed by Big Brother that she was also going back to the big house in exchange for Hrvoje. The third news was that all tenants except Mateja, Vita and Stjepan were proposed for nominations by the viewers.

On Monday of the second week, Big Brother announced these nominations to them, but again as news that can be fake or true. On Friday, the tenants found out that the news was true, and Ivana and Senka were nominated. With 4 votes, Ivana had to leave the house. After her release, new nominations followed. Mateja had immunity and could not be nominated, but she could nominate. Goran and Senka were nominated.

On the 59th day of the scam, Big Brother announced to the tenants on Monday that, along with one of the nominees, Senka or Goran, another tenant chosen by the evicted tenant will leave the house. Not knowing whether the news was true or false, on Friday Senka and Goran had to tell Antonia who they were going to take. Senka chose Maja-Paola, and Goran chose Tessa. Big Brother later told them the news was fake. Only Senka left the house.

The following week, the tenants were tasked with sleeping only 12 hours for the entire week. In addition to the new weekly task, they were also surprised by the news about Big Brother's replacement. Big Brother told them that by Thursday they will be replaced by their former roommate Senka. On Monday of that week, Senka announced the news to the tenants on Mondays: Vita and Tessa are the chosen tenants who must choose five more to join them by Wednesday. Selected tenants have immunity from nominations, while others are automatically nominated. Martina, Vedran, Krešo, Stipe and Maja-Paola were elected. On Friday, the tenants learned that the news was true and that Goran and Arsen were nominated. Maja-Paola joined the nominees due to a fall on a secret mission. So, Goran, Arsen and Maja-Paola were nominated. On the seventieth day, Mateja left the house.

On Monday, the tenants got their new weekly task - soccer week. This week would not be any more special than the others, if it were not for the unusual way of presenting the same task. The tenants left the house for the first time in Big Brother and were transported by van to the soccer field where they played a match against celebrities. They beat them 4:0 and thus successfully completed the weekly task. Also, this week, they received new news on Monday, by which Big Brother informed them that they will have the possibility of contact with the outside world, so that two tenants will receive accurate news and one tenant will receive false news from the outside world. The news was true. Goran left the house on Friday (77th day). On the same day, Krešimir, Vedran, Martina, Vita and Tessa were nominated.

After a few days, the tenants received new news on Mondays. They found out that they might nominate only one tenant on Friday, and the one they consider to be the biggest competitor. The news was true and the nominee was Stjepan. Along with him, all those who nominated him were nominated, namely Martina, Arsen and Tessa. Before the nominations, Vita left the house for the second time.

The following Monday, Big Brother told the housemates that they had to pick the worst housemate who had already left the house, and that that person would be rejoining them on Friday. The news was fake. On Wednesday, Big Brother surprised the tenants with the entry of two strippers into the house, and after their dance, Martina decided to swim in the pool. She saw Kreša drinking water and pushed him into the pool. Krešo was wearing a microphone that was destroyed in the water. This made Big Brother very angry, who decided to severely punish Martina. He forbade her any kind of communication with other tenants, except for pantomime. She was not allowed to make a single sound until Friday.

Apart from the fact that Martina is allowed to speak again, on Friday the tenants found out that Stjepan was leaving the house. At the last nominations of this season, Martina, Tessa and Maja-Paola were nominated, and Big Brother joined them with Kreša and Vedran due to their failure to perform the secret task.

The news on Monday of the following week was that on Friday, after the elimination of one of the nominated tenants, all tenants will be nominated again. Only the one who has immunity is spared, i.e. the one who made the most individual purchases in the store. The news was true, but since the tenants did not follow her rules, no one was given immunity. On Friday, Martina was the first to leave the house, and after the second short vote, Tessa also left. This made Arsen, Krešimir, Maja-Paola and Vedran finalists.

The finalists spent 7 days in the house before finally leaving the house and announcing the winner. During that week, they reminisced about their former housemates and were visited by a professional beautification team so that the finalists leave the house looking their best. Arsen was fourth, Krešo was third, and Maja-Paola was the superfinalist.

The winner of the fourth Croatian Big Brother was Vedran.
