Big Brother (Danish TV series)
Big Brother Danmark was the Danish version of the international reality television franchise Big Brother created by producer John de Mol in 1997. The show followed a number of contestants, known as housemates, who are isolated from the outside world for an extended period of time in a custom built House. Each week, one of the housemates is evicted by a public vote, with the last housemate remaining winning a cash prize.
