Big Brother - Season 1

Big Brother - Season 1

Season 1

Big Brother 1, also known as Big Brother 2000, was the first season of the American reality television series Big Brother. It began on July 5, 2000 and aired on CBS for 88 days, concluding on September 29, 2000 when Eddie McGee was crowned the winner with votes from America. Season 1 of Big Brother is radically different from following American seasons of the series. It was a near-exact port of the hit Netherlands (Holland) series of the same name. Every week, Housemates would nominate two fellow housemates and the two or more housemates with the most nominations were eligible for banishment. American viewers could then call a 1-900 number and cast a vote to evict a HouseGuest. There was no Head of Household, Power of Veto, or Food Competitions, but rather the HouseGuests would have to complete Weekly Tasks (also called Week Long Challenges) to win rewards for the house. There were 6 episodes each week: a one-hour live eviction show, and five 30-minute daily recaps.
