The first few seasons of Big Brother UK had nighttime episodes where you could watch the contestants sleeping. They were very popular, and even had catch up shows so you could see what you’d missed 🤷🏻♂️
Same here in Germany, but they weren’t sleeping. People were watching because of all the trash whispering and waiting for the first touchy situations inter the covers.
They even had a time where one channel was broadcasting live nighttime. I think that stopped after a few seasons.
Those first seasons were pure trash, but so naive, compared to what it mutated to over the years.
In Lithuanian one (they called it the Aquarium, but the idea was the same) two people fucked under the sheets and they broadcasted that on TV, causing massive uproar because apparently the audience wasn’t really ready for that.

Wait, there’s the Big Brother show in other countries? What happened with the German one?

It went on for 13 seasons until 2013 and i just found out that season 14 has been running since March 2024, gasp!
In between there have been things like Promi Big Brother, the celebrity version.
