Big Brother (Danish TV series)

Big Brother Denmark was the Danish version of the international reality television franchise Big Brother created by producer John de Mol in 1997. The show followed 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 show aired on TV Danmark between 28 January 2001 and 1 April 2005 who aired a 3 regular series, one celebrity (VIP) series and an "All-star" series before axing the show in 2005.

On 30 January 2012 Kanal 5 relaunched Big Brother airing its fourth series in 2012, fifth series in 2013 and the sixth and final series of Big Brother in 2014 that concluded on 27 April 2014.

Big Brother 5 (Australia)

Big Brother Australia 2005, also known as Big Brother 5, was the fifth season of Big Brother Australia, and was aired on Network Ten in Australia, and TV-2 in New Zealand with a four-week delay. The series started on 8 May 2005, with housemates going into the House the day before, and finished on 15 August 2005, lasting 101 days. The theme of the series was "single, sexy, and competitive". Auditions for housemates were held in March 2005. In a departure from usual procedure, candidates were not required to send in videos of themselves as had been the case for prior auditions. Instead, the producers toured major Australian cities and conducted interviews. They searched for sexy singles that were willing to have sexual relations on camera. Promos for the show suggested that Big Brother would be different this year, and phrases such as "Assume Nothing, Expect Anything", "Let's Play", and "Think Again" were used throughout the series, especially during Opening Night. The winner announced on the finale was watched by 2.282 million Australian viewers.
