Format
editBig Brother is a unique voice, that gives a daily mission to participants in the house as well as enforces the house rules. Participants are called housemates. Some of the missions are carried out collectively, in groups or individually. By giving housemates missions, Big Brother creates an atmosphere of competition among them where they can express their natural emotions. For each mission assigned to them, there are various conditions that must be met. If they are successful, they would be rewarded. But if they fail, they would be punished.
In addition to their daily missions, contestants take part in a daily diary session where they express their thoughts and feelings about other housemates and issues in the house to Big Brother.
Every week, each housemate must "nominate" two other housemates who they want to leave the house. Housemates with the highest nominations are put up for eviction. But they can be saved by votes from viewers. Viewers across the country vote via SMS for their favourite housemate who is up for eviction for a period of one week. Housemates with the lowest number of votes are evicted at the end of the week.
The number of housemates reduces every week until the last week where the final three housemates would be voted by viewers across the country to determine the winner. On the final day of the competition, the housemate with the highest number of votes from viewers across the country will be announced as the winner and receive a prize worth more than $1 million in the form of a house and car.
