Big Brother (Romanian TV series)

Big Brother (also known as in Romanian: Fratele cel Mare, lit.'The Big Brother') is a Romanian version of the international reality television franchise Big Brother produced by Endemol. A group of people (called the Housemates) live together in an isolated house. They don't have TV, the Internet, newspapers or watches. 24 hours a day, their life is recorded by hidden cameras in all the rooms in the House. The Housemates are completely isolated from the outside world. Every week, each of them must enter the Diary Room and nominate two of the other people for public eviction. The two or more housemates with most negative votes become nominated. For almost a week the TV viewers have to decide which of them to be evicted, voting via SMS or phone calls.
