Big Brother

Big Brother In A Nutshell:
On Big Brother, a group of strangers move into a house together and are cut off from the outside world for three months. Each week, the participants must vote to evict one of their housemates -- usually after a great deal of backstabbing and plotting. They also compete in challenges that could keep the winner safe from eviction for one week. The contestant who survives all of the eliminations wins a cash prize. Each season, there are new twists and rules.
