Big Brother 1 (U.S.)
''Big Brother 1'' was the debut season of the American reality television series ''Big Brother''. It was based upon the Netherlands series of the same name, which gained notoriety in 1999 and 2000. The series premiered on July 5, 2000 and lasted for a total of 88 days. The season concluded on September 29, when Eddie McGee was crowned the winner, and Josh Souza the runner-up. The premise of the series drastically differed from future installments of the series. The series revolved around ten strangers living in a house together with no communication with the outside world. They were constantly filmed during their time in the house, and were not permitted to communicate with those filming them. Every other week, each contestant, referred to as "HouseGuests", chose two people to be up for nomination. The two or more people with the most votes were nominated to leave the house. The viewers then decide which of the nominees should leave, with the selected person leaving during a live show. This process continued until only three HouseGuests remained, at which time the viewers would decide which of them would win the $500,000 grand prize.
==Development==
The series first launched in Netherlands, with editions in countries such as Germany proving to be hits with the public.〔http://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/news-digest-do-germans-like-to-watch-a-67267.html〕 Following the international success of the series, a bidding war for the rights to series engaged between CBS, ABC, and a cable network, with the series initially set to last 100 days. Mark Itkin, the senior vice president of William Morris, was quoted as saying, "I had no idea the bidding would be so hot. But the show has so many elements, from being on 100 days in a row to an Internet component that is especially attractive to networks." Ultimately, it was confirmed that the show had been picked up by CBS for an estimated $20 million.〔http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/136389-Survivor_Highly_ratted.php〕 It was later reported that production costs added to an estimated $200,000 per episode. Paul Romer, co-creator of the original series, served as the Executive Producer for the series.〔http://studyguides.rivassl.com/study-guide-to-big-brother-channel-4/72/〕 On the concept, Romer stated "The show is all about human interactions. It's people who are, loving each other, hating each other. They fight, they cry, they laugh -- all emotions, we'll see in the house." In a later interview, Romer added "The first thing people think of when they hear the ''Big Brother'' idea are the sexual things, the nudity, the sexual activity in the house () That's not what the show is about."〔http://jam.canoe.ca/Television/TV_Shows/B/Big_Brother/2000/07/04/734950.html〕 The series was one of the first reality shows to air, and required a crew of over 150 people.〔http://www.salon.com/2000/08/08/watching_bb/〕
The first season of ''Big Brother'' featured two hosts, Julie Chen as the main host and Ian O'Malley as a co-host.〔http://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/archives/big_brother/2010_Jul_05_10th_anniversary〕 On earning the job, O'Malley stated "I didn’t really know what it was.
