Big Brother Portugal had seven editions: four civilian editions and three celebrity editions.
After seventeen years of hiatus, a fifth civilian edition will air in 2020.
The Series
Big Brother Format
Contestants called "housemates" live together in a specially-constructed house that is isolated from the outside world. Housemates are voted out every week until only one remains and wins the cash prize. During their stay in the house, contestants are continuously monitored by live television cameras as well as personal audio microphones.
The contestants are required to do housework and are assigned tasks by the producers of the show (who communicate with the housemates via the omnipresent authority figure known to them only as "Big Brother"). The tasks are designed to test their teamwork abilities and community spirit. In some countries, the housemates' shopping budget or weekly allowance (to buy food and other essentials) depends on the outcome of assigned tasks.
