Big Brother Sverige 8 is the eighth season of Big Brother Sverige.
Background[]
Developments[]
In September 2019, TV4 announced that Big Brother Sverige will be coming back on Swedish television after 5 years. Set to air in Spring 2020, the new season would be a fresh reboot of the original Big Brother Sverige series. With the new technological advancements in Big Brother internationally, the TV4 aimed to adopt the upgrades regarding the hit reality series.
Fredrik Arefalk, the channel manager of TV4 stated that: “Big Brother revolutionized the world of television when it launched in the Netherlands 20 years ago and it is still going strong internationally. With today's technology and smartphones, "Big Brother" is more right in time than ever before and we are really looking forward to making a brand new and modern "Big Brother". The technical conditions for letting viewers follow and control what's going on in the house are on a completely different level today and we believe it will attract the young digital generation, but also a wider audience that has followed "Big Brother" before. "[1]
Casting[]
According to Executive Producer Joel Bendrik, the casting for this season is a bit different to the previous seasons of Big Brother Sverige. The season's cast would have an age range within 20-30 years old, aiming to reflect the current generation of Swedish people along with different characteristics and personalities.
Trailer and Logo Reveal[]
On January 22, 2020, the first trailer was released on the show's official social media pages. The trailer comes with the tagline; "100 days, 100 nights" indicating that the season would have a duration of 100 days.
The official eye logo of the season was officially revealed in the trailer, adopting the new rebranded logo of the international Big Brother franchise. For this season, the eye has a yellow and pink color, with a camera lens as the eye lens of the logo.
The House[]
The Big Brother Sverige 8 house was built in Telestaden, a new real-estate property in Farsta, Stockholm.
The house adopted the technical upgrades set Endemol for the international Big Brother franchise in 2018, such as the installment of AI cameras, and getting rid of camera runs and mirrors.
The season's house has a modern industrial, minimalist design with bright colors such as pink, yellow, and green as the dominant colors. It has an open plan, with an enclosed pool area, as well as a spa and gym area. Adjacent to the main house is an activity/task area. The 400 sq meter living space is equipped with more than 50 high definition cameras and 90 microphones. [2]
Production Changes[]
- TV11 to TV4: After 5 years of hiatus, Big Brother Sverige was picked up by TV4 after TV11 decided not to air the series after Big Brother: Maktspelet.
- New House: A new house was constructed within a new real estate property, Telestaden in Forsta, Stockholm.
- Stricter Rules: House rules were strictly enforced in this season and if violated had serious punishments.
- More Wholesome Show: TV4 aimed to make this season more wholesome by lessening interactions deemed too mature for the general television viewers.
- Format Change: TV4 decided to redo the format by removing the housemate nominations, stating it had made the previous season's contestants develop poor mental health. Instead, the housemates would compete in nomination challenges for safety. Nevertheless, the usual housemate nomination process was brought back into the show starting Week 9. [3]
Twists[]
- Two Phases: The season is divided into two phases; Qualifying Game Phase, and Final Game Phase.
- Qualifying Game Phase: On the first half of the season, from Week 1 to Week 8, various competitions determine which housemates are safe and which ones are at risk of facing the public vote. The housemates can also save one or more housemates from eviction.
- Final Game Phase: Starting Week 9, the regular game format returned, replacing the challenge-based format of the first 8 weeks.
- One Out, One In: In every eviction, a new housemate enters the house to replace the week's evicted. Intended to last throughout the Qualifying Game Phase, the twist was ended abruptly on Week 5, due to COVID-19 epidemic in Sweden.
- Nomination Competition: Instead of the usual nomination voting process, the housemates competed in a series of challenges for safety. The housemates who failed to win the challenges become nominees. This twist was in effect during the Qualifying Game Phase from Week 1 to Week 8 before returning back to the normal nomination process for the Final Game Phase.
- Nomination Point System: For the first time since Big Brother Sverige 5, the nomination point system was implemented where each housemate must give 2 points and 1 point to two housemates they want to nominate. The housemates who received the three highest points become nominees. This nomination process took effect on the Final Game Phase.
- Immunity Competition: Housemates compete for immunity from eviction. The twist appeared on both phases of the season.
