Big Brother (Romanian TV series)

Big Brother is a Romanian reality show. It is based on the Big Brother franchise by Endemol. A group of people (called the Housemates) live together in an isolated house. 24 hours a day their life is recorded by hidden cameras in all the rooms in the House. They don't have TV, the Internet, newspapers or watches. The Housemates are completely isolated from the outside world. Every week, each of them must enter the Diary room and nominate 2 of the other people for public eviction. The 2 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.
