Big Brother (Bulgaria)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Big Brother is a reality show. It is based on the Big Brother series by Endemol. A group of people (called the Housemates) live together in an isolated house. 24 hours a day their life is recorded by hidden cameras in all the rooms in the House. They don't have TV, Internet, newspapers, even watches on their hands. The Housemates are completely isolated from the outside world. Every week, each one of them must enter the Diary room and nominate 2 of the other people for public eviction. The 2 or more housemates with most negative votes become nominated. For almost a week the TV viewers have to decide which of them to be evicted, voting via SMS or phone calls.

Every week the Housemates have a week task. Depending on whether they do their task successfully or unsuccessfully, their week budget is increased or decreased.

During the final week, the viewers vote which of the remained people in the House to win the show. The person with most positive votes wins a cash prize.

The same night, each one of the Housemates was asked to enter the Diary room and nominate one of the other people not to receive his luggage during the whole stay in the House. Then, before the end of the LIVE show, it was announced that two of the housemates were married - Elena (evicted later with 86%) and Miroslav (the winner). The Nova + 24-hour channel was available once again, but this time on more cable providers.

Originally, the housemates were 15. Later, the House entered 4 new housemates. Here are all the participants:

  • Miroslav Atanasov (25) - Winner on Day 92

Note 6: Marian was nominated by Big Brother because he refused to nominate two of his housemates.
Note 7: Big Brother had previously told Leonardo that he would automatically be up for eviction unless he received the most nominations, as the person with the highest number of nomination points would be immune from eviction. Leonardo failed his secret mission

[edit] Big Brother 3

Big Brother 3

{{{series}}}

Started 18th September, 20:00 EET and ended on 11th December, 2006. This season, only Niki Kunchev was hosting the show.

There was also a live talk show 4 (previously 3) times a week - Big Brother's Big Mouth (also seen in UK), hosted by Dim Dukov - a participant from VIP Brother 1.

Originally, the housemates were 16. On the first night, it was announced that a secret housemate was living in a secret room. It turned to be Vyara's twin-sister - Nadejda. Every day they had to replace themselves, without any other person's notice. Later, it was announced that there is a second secret housemate living in a second secret room. It was Vyara and Nadejda's third twin-sister Lyubov (their names come from the popular Bulgarian expression "Вяра, надежда и любов" , or "Faith, hope and love"). The prize (200 000 leva in BB1 and BB2) was increased to 500 000 leva. However, if any of the housemates breaked one of the house rules (even if he/she forgot to put on his/her microphone) the prize would be decreased with 5000 leva. So, the prize dropped to 200 000 leva, just like in the first two seasons. Plamen, who left the House voluntarily gave back the 5 000 leva, which he took the first time he wanted to leave. The money were added to the big prize. However, during the new week task "Prison Break", the housemates had the chance to increase their money-prize with 100 000 leva and with another 140 000 later. The BBB (Bulgarian Big Brother) revealed the triplets - Vyara, Nadejda and Lyubov оn the eighth day.

On the first nominations, the difference was that the two people with most negative votes were directly evicted. These were Mariola and Panayot. In the Big Brother Live Studio, they were given a secret task - to return in the secret rooms in the house and stay there for a week. They had to take clothes and food from the House without anyone's notice. If the task was successful, they would go back to the house. In the beginning both of them agreed to return, but later Mariola decided to leave the show, so now only Panayot is a secret housemate.

The house had much more rooms, but its square surface was the same. There were several bathrooms. Four days before the official start of the show the 16 reserves entered to test the house. They lived there till 17 September, 20:00 h when they left it. Their stay has not been aired. However, none of them entered the House later. The real Housemates entered the House on 18 September, 20:00 EET when the show officially started. They weren't told that the House had been inhabited four days ago.

The Nova + live channel was officially available from the following providers:

  • Eurocom Cable
  • Dobrudja Cable
  • SCAT

Originally, the housemates were 16. Later, the House entered two new housemates - Vyara's sisters. Here are all the participants:

  • Lyubov Stancheva (21) - Winner on Day 85
  • Violeta Kondova (57) - Runner-up on Day 85
  • Lilyana Angelova (25) - 4th place on Day 85
  • Paloma Santana (18) - 4th place on Day 85

VIP Brother is the name of the Bulgarian version of the Big Brother's spin-off Big Brother VIP. In it, the Housemates are only famous people. The show follows the main Big Brother rules, but with some changes. For example, in VIP Brother the show's duration is shorter - a month (29 days - like in most of the countries it is aired in). The nominations and evictions are twice a week. VIP Brother Bulgaria started its first season on 13 March, 2006 and ended on 10 April, 2006. The hosts were Niki Kunchev and Evelina Pavlova.

Note 1: Each Week a panel of Celebrity judges (outside of the House) gets to choose a Nominee to automatically face the Public Vote. This Week they chose Vessela, who was joined by the Housemate's choices of Pishtova (14 Points) and Rayna (8 Points). Pishtova won the Immunity challenge and removed herself from the Nomination line-up, meaning that Rayna and Vessela will face the Public Vote this Week. On Day 8 Vessela Voluntarily left the House, and as she was a Nominee this Week's Eviction was Cancelled. Ironically, at the time of her leaving, the votes stood at 67% to Rayna, and 33% to Vessela.
Note 2: Violeta was automatically Nominated by the panel of Celebrities, but later won Immunity.
Note 3: The Celebrity Panel Automatically Nominated Pishtova. Lyubomir was not allowed to participate in the Immunity challenge after he discussed his Nominations with Galina, so was automatically Nominated by Big Brother. Galina won the Immunity, leaving Lyubomir and Pishtova Nominated. The Eviction was Cancelled after Lyubomir Voluntarily left the House.
Note 4: All Housemates were Nominated, and it was a Vote to win.

[edit] VIP Brother 1 Specials

The Housemates from VIP Brother played in Stani bogat in couples special editions. Each one of them was with a friend or a relative.

Raina and Konstantin played Stani bogat in a special edition in February 2006. However, Konstantin played again. Raina and LiLana did not appear in these special editions, too.

Although the show Stani bogat is well-known all over the world, including in Bulgaria, some of the participants as Dandy and Kiril seemed not to had watched the show many times as they had difficulties with the rules. Here are the prizes that the participants won in Stani bogat:

    • Vesela Neynski - 3 000 leva. She played with her friend. They reached the 10 000 levas question, but gave a false answer.
    • Galya Litova - 10 000 leva. She played with her sister. They reached the 25 000 levas question, but decided to stop and take 10 000.
    • Raina - She didn't play.
    • Galya from KariZma - She refused to participate in both shows.

    • Traicho Trendafilov - He is Danaya's father (Danaya is Violeta's daughter). It is not clear why he had been invited to play WWTBAM, as these special editions are only for the housemates from VIP Brother. Traicho played with his son and they won 3 000 leva, because they gave a false answer to the 10 000 question.
    • Violeta Zdravkova - 10 000 leva. She played with her mother. They reached the 25 000 levas question, but decided to take 10 000.
