Top 10 Best International Versions of Big Brother

The Top Ten

  1. Big Brother (Dutch Version)

    This is the Big Brother that started it all. The original plan for the show was very different than what is aired on television today. The original timeline for the show was going to be a year, but it was cut down to 100 days. The Dutch version of the show only aired for six seasons.

  2. Big Brother Suomi

    This Finnish version of Big Brother featured ten seasons. In the tenth season, the winner was awarded a prize of €100,000 while the rest of the seasons had contestants competing for €50,000. This version of the show follows much of the original Dutch format and has employed many interesting twists. One interesting season was Evil Big Brother.

  3. Big Brother Portugal

    The Portuguese version of Big Brother ran for seven seasons consisting of three celebrity seasons and four regular seasons. One of the seasons of Big Brother Portugal featured an interesting format.

  4. Big Brother Bulgaria

    The craziest version of this country's Big Brother has to be the Big Brother Family format in which each contestant is a family competing against other families to win cash, a car, and an apartment.

  5. Big Brother Germany

    Big Brother Germany has featured thirteen seasons of the show. This international version has some of the most interesting twists and changes from season to season. These houseguests are not rewarded a prize simply for making it to the end. Instead, they need to work to earn their prize money. An adaptation that has been done in many countries, Celebrity Big Brother, also had a German version.

  6. Pinoy Big Brother

    This version of Big Brother airs in the Philippines. The "housemates" vote each week on nominations for the house. With the nominations in place, the viewers cast their vote for the housemate they would like to keep. The contestant with the least amount of votes at the end of the week is eliminated.

  7. Big Brother Australia

    Big Brother Australia has historically featured the original Dutch version of the game, with houseguests secretly voting on nominations and the viewers voting contestants out. When the new season of Big Brother Australia airs this year, it is suspected that the show will adapt its format to resemble the popular American version of Big Brother.

  8. Big Brother Israel

    This version of Big Brother also has multiple clips easily accessible online. Many of these clips contain English subtitles, making it easy for American fans to follow. This country has featured three celebrity versions of the show, and its longest season ran for 120 days. There are some standout twists from this version of the show.

  9. Big Brother UK

    This version of Big Brother is well-known for the drama that occurs in the house. As this version of the game, like many others, is seen more as a social experiment than a game, clashing personalities often result in disagreements. The contestants are rewarded if they are selected as the winner at the end of the season. However, the prize is significantly smaller than the US version.

  10. Big Brother Canada

    Big Brother Canada also seems to cast more varying personalities, unlike Big Brother US, which seems to stick to the same stereotypes each year. With incredible twists such as triple evictions, fake double evictions, and an international houseguest twist, this version of Big Brother is certainly worth watching.

    11. The Contenders

  11. Big Brother Brasil
