Big Brother (Swedish TV series)

Big Brother or Big Brother Sverige was the Swedish version of the Big Brother reality television franchise, which was created by producer John de Mol Jr. and premiered in 2000. The show featured contestants who lived together in custom-built house and were isolated from the outside world. One person was evicted every week by public vote, with the last remaining housemate winning a cash prize.

The show aired on Kanal 5 from 2002–2004, on Kanal 11 from 2011–2015, and on Sjuan from 2020–2021. TV4 cancelled Big Brother Sverige on Christmas Eve in 2021 after 2 seasons, due to low ratings.

Notes

Big Brother 1

The first season of Big Brother Sverige lasted for 103 days, starting on 4 September 2000 and ending on 15 December 2000.

Nine contestants entered the house on launch night. Daniel Hellström and Eva Pederson walked on day 3 and day 12, respectively. As a result, only seven housemates were eligible for the first nomination. Two replacements were added to the house before the first official eviction.

Two new housemates entered the house on Day 61. Only one of them was allowed to stay in the house as a replacement for Johan Hellström, who had voluntarily left. When the housemates voted for Christoffer Jensen to stay, he became the first contestant to replace two different housemates, as he had also been the replacement for Daniel Hellström earlier in the series. The Big Brother franchise saw its first double eviction with Camilla Björk and George Dieck leaving the house at the same time.

It was also the first time in Big Brother history that a replacement housemate made it to the final day (Jensen, who achieved third place) and most prominently, that Angelica Freij became the first woman worldwide to win the show.

The show received strong ratings. Per Holknekt, who finished fifth place, became a well-known fashion designer.

Big Brother Stjärnveckan

After being off-air for more than a year, Big Brother Sverige returned with a spin-off called Big Brother Stjärnveckan (Week of the Stars) on 20 January 2002. It lasted for six days and became the shortest version of any Big Brother series worldwide. Seven former Swedish contestants from several reality shows lived together in the house with daily evictions. The show aired in the week before the start of the actual second season of Big Brother Sverige and was supposed to create excitement among the viewers.

The contestants that entered the house were Anki Lundberg from The Bar 3, Johan "Godzilla" Lennström and Anneli from Villa Medusa, Elizabeth "Lelle" Anderzén from Expedition Robinson 1998, Henric Olsson from The Bar 2, Robert "Robban" Andersson from Expedition Robinson 1999 and Karin Stor from the first Big Brother Sverige season.

Anki Lundberg won the show, on the same day that the second season began.

Big Brother 2

Season two of Big Brother Sverige started on 26 January 2002, exactly on the final day of Big Brother Stjärnveckan lasting for 108 days until 13 May 2002.

The season featured a three-way relationship between Dominique Pons, Emma-Maria Carlsson, and Kitty Jutbring. When Carlsson voluntary left the house and Pons was evicted, the focus turned to other showmances such as between Elin Nilsson and Jacob Heidrich.

Marie "Picasso" Pettersson replaced Carlsson. Sorani was originally evicted on Day 62 but was allowed a return a week later after several viewers were unable to vote in what has been a close vote between him and Heidrich. However, when Big Brother offered 50,000 kronor to the housemate that would walk, Sorani accepted the deal and left voluntarily.

For the third time in a row, the Swedish audience chose a woman to win their Big Brother season: Ulrica Andersson from Karlstad. The most notable housemate resulting from the season was Marie Picasso, who recorded two singles and became the host of a short-lived call-in show. In 2007, she auditioned for Sweden's local version of Pop Idol called Idol 2007 which she won resulting in a number-one single called This Moment.

The two who received the most votes would be evicted. Due to technical problems with the fifth eviction, a number of viewers were unable to vote. As voting numbers between Benjamín and Jacob were close, it was decided to allow Benjamín to return. On day 83 Big brother made an offer to the seven remaining housemates. The offer was that if any housemate would leave the house they would receive 50,000 kronor, Benjamin accepted the offer.The public were voting for a winner. Peter received the fewest votes and was evicted.

Big Brother 3 Season three of Big Brother Sverige started on 25 January 2003. It lasted for 107 days until 11 May 2003.
