Való Világ (, lit. Real World) is Hungary's reality show aired by RTL. ValóVilág became the most popular Hungarian reality television program ever. The show was aired in the same time slot as the localized version of Big Brother.
While TV2 recorded the highest number of viewers in 2002, Való Világ 1 had an average of 1.5 million. In 2003, Való Világ 2 was a breakthrough. While it had 1.75 million viewers daily, Big Brother 2 recorded only 800,000 viewers. RTL started the third season, which was an absolute success with 2.06 million viewers daily. The first three seasons were broadcast between 2002 and 2004 but returned in November 2010 for the fourth season after years of hiatus.
In the sixth season, it was transferred to the newly launched channel RTL Kettő. For the seventh season in Autumn 2014, RTL Kettő remained the host.
The show holds the Big Brother license since the eighth season and began using the name Való Világ powered by Big Brother. Beginning with the eleventh season, the name was simplified back to ValóVilág.

Casting and choice of the viewing public The contestants who had been succeed in the casting could participate in a Beszavazóshow (Vote-In Show). During a beszavazóshow, the viewing public had to choose from the three wannabe villa residents: who they wanted to participate in the show. The person with the most votes would enter the Villa (house) and became officially a villa resident.
In the sixth season, the beszavazóshow was changed into Beköltözés (The Entering Show). In the beköltözés, the creators-chose person (in the first beköltözés 6 people) enters into the Villa.
Elimination process
Kiválasztás (Selection): The villa residents have to nominate one fellow villa resident in front of each other, live on RTL Klub. The villa resident with the most votes would face eviction.
Kihívás (Challenge): The villa resident, who became up for eviction earlier, have to choose a fellow villa resident whom he/she thought he/she would be a perfect partner to against in the eviction process. (In the second and third season the selected villa resident had to choose two villa residents. The viewers had to decide from the two villa residents, which would join the selected one and face eviction with him/her.)
Párbaj (Duel): The two villa residents visits the studio and there presenter shows them short videos from their life in the house. During the discussing which the presenter has with the two villa residents the public can vote for them via phone calls and text message. At the end of the Duel the results of the public vote is revealed. The villa resident who received more votes can go back to the House and continue the game.
