2013-07-05

Created page with " =Big Brother 3 (U.S.)= '''''Big Brother 3''''' was the third season of the American [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality_television reality television] series ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Brother_(U.S.) Big Brother]''. It is based upon the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlands Dutch] series [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Brother_(Netherlands) of the same name], which gained notoriety in 1999 and 2000. The series premiered on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBS CBS] on July 10, 2002 and lasted eleven weeks until the live finale on September 25, 2002.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Brother_3_(U.S.)#cite_note-1 [1]] The third season went on to match the success of the previous season, and saw an increase in ratings from ''Big Brother 2''. The ''Big Brother 3'' premiere garnered more than 9 million viewers, more than one million higher than the previous year. Ratings continued to increase, with the finale receiving more than 12 million viewers. ''Big Brother 3'' has the highest rated finale of the series thus far, with more than 12 million viewers tuning in to find out the winner. It also has the fourth highest rated premiere episode for the series thus far. This season featured a total of 12 HouseGuests, the same amount as the previous season. The series ended after 82 days, in which HouseGuest was crowned the Winner, and the Runner-Up.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Brother_3_(U.S.)#cite_note-2 [2]]

The premise of the series remained largely unchanged from the previous edition, in which a group of contestants, known as "HouseGuests," compete [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Brother_3_(U.S.)# to win] the series by voting each other off and being the last HouseGuest remaining. One HouseGuest, known as the Head of Household, must nominate two of their fellow HouseGuests for eviction. The HouseGuests then vote to evict one of the nominees, and the HouseGuest with the most votes is evicted. When only two HouseGuests remained, the previously evicted HouseGuests would decide which of them would win the $500,000 prize. A HouseGuest can be expelled from the show for breaking rules, such as discussing nominations when not permitted. This season featured numerous twists that impacted the game. The main twist was the introduction of the Silver Power of Veto, in which the winner could take a nominee off the block. The Golden Power of Veto was also introduced this season, and would be used in all subsequent seasons. The Head of Household would then be required to select a replacement nominee. Another twist to the game was that one previously evicted HouseGuest was given a second chance to enter the house and compete to win the series.
