  Big Brother (Australian TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
All series in Australia have rigidly enforced the rule that nominations are not to be discussed amongst housemates, and that collusion between housemates is forbidden.
However, the series did have its moments, the most notorious of which was the ejection of a housemate, former AFL football star Warwick Capper, who exposed himself to female housemates.
Late in the series a special eviction was held where one twin was evicted based on the votes of the other housemates, and the remaining twin allowed to continue in the house as a normal housemate.

 Survivor (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The initial series was a huge ratings success in the US in 2000 and, along with ABC's prime-time game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, sparked a reality-television revolution.
Survivor: The Australian Outback was set in the Australian Outback (though the location was by Australian standards not particularly remote, nor was it arid).
The second series was set in Panama, in the Bocas Del Toro area, not in the Pearl Islands, and Jonny Gibb won.

In series one, each episode opened with the music playing over a shot of an eye - representing the theme of 'Big Brother is Watching You' - and the eye belonged to housemate Mel, though she had no idea about this until the night of her eviction.
Big Brother 2 saw the introduction of a room set apart from the main house that was designed for 'private' chats, while BB5 unveiled a secret 'flat' where two of the housemates were forced to live in isolation while spying on the others via TV cameras and monitors.
The authority figure of Big Brother was particularly strict, leading to James being disqualified from being able to win, though he was still allowed to participate in the final debate that saw gay hairdresser Paul voted the ultimate winner of a trip of a lifetime around the world.
