Big Brother Brasil is the Brazilian version of the Big Brother reality franchised television show based on the original Dutch television series of the same name, that was created in 1997 by John de Mol. It is the second one with more finished seasons and the only one with 15 years of uninterrupted annual transmission in the same channels and by the same presenter. The show is based on a group of strangers, known as housemates, living together twenty-four hours a day in the "Big Brother" house, isolated from the outside world while having all their steps followed by cameras around-the-clock, with no privacy for three months. The housemates compete for the chance to win the grand prize by avoiding weekly eviction, until the last housemate remains at the end of the season that can claim the grand prize. The show's current host is journalist Tiago Leifert. TV Globo's website and a Globo-owned pay-per-view channel offer round-the-clock coverage.
