[edit] Removed from Format

From a sociological perspective, this format can be analyzed to see how people react when brought into contact to (and indeed forced into close confinement with) people who lie outside their "comfort zone", since they may hold different opinions to other contestants, express different ideals, or simply be from a different group of people that a contestant is used to. The format is ideally suited because the viewer sees how a person reacts on the outside through the constant recording of their actions, and also what they feel on the inside through the Diary Room. The results can often result in violent or angry confrontations, which not only proves a theory that people are likely to react to threats through outbursts of violence or loud expressions of opinion, but also provides entertainment to a baying public.

Besides living together under continuous observation, which is the major attraction of the contest, the program relies on 4 basic props: the stripped-bare back to basics environment in which they live, the evictions system, the weekly tasks set by Big Brother, and the "diary room", in which the housemates individually convey their thoughts, feelings, frustrations and their eviction nominees.

[edit] Removed from Variations in the format

• The Voice Graph system in BB Argentina, BB Australia & BB Germany.

• The seventh season of Big Brother Australia focused upon environmental issues, the house fitted with rainwater tanks and a majority of the furniture being built entirely from recycled materials.
