"Big Brother" is a reality show shown on Kanal A in which a number of contestants live in an isolated house trying to avoid being evicted by the public with the aim of winning a large cash prize at the end of the run. It is based on the international "Big Brother" format produced by Endemol. It first aired on March 17, 2007.

A 550 square meter Big Brother house is situated in the backyard of POP TV/Kanal A building in Ljubljana.There's 300 m2 dwelling, and 250 for the garden. House's every corner is covered by 22 cameras.

Bathroom, toilets, and showers which cannot be locked for security reasons, are also covered by cameras.

Essential kitchenware can be found in the kitchen along with sink, electric cooker, oven, refrigerator, and a silverware container.

House mates can eat self-cooked meals at a big 12-chair dining table in the dining room.

Comfortable divans are found in the living room which can be used in free time.

Big Brother house features two four-bedded bedrooms, two of which are double. Every house mate receives one bedding set, which they have to wash and make themselves. Even here every movement and whisper is recorded by cameras.

House mates are frequently called into confessional, where they share their experiences with Big Brother. A person may enter confessional only when empty and green light is lit above it. A chair and table can be found inside.

Most activities will take place in a rather large garden in front of the house. House mates will be able to get fresh air, sunbathe or swim in jacuzzi.

Big Brother Swap

The official website announced on Day 27 (April 12, 2007) that one Philippine housemate would trade places with a housemate from the Slovenian version. [ [http://bb2.pinoybigbrother.com/tabid/547/Article/4391/Default.aspx The Great Big Brother Swap] , Pinoy Big Brother website] [ [http://24ur.com/bb/bb_article.php?article_id=3094752 Senzacionalna Big Brother izmenjava!] , Big Brother Slovenia website (in Slovenian)] Days later, Tina [ [http://24ur.com/bb/bb_article.php?article_id=3094984 Na Filipine bo odletela Tina!] Big Brother Slovenia website (in Slovenian)] was chosen to swap with Bruce. [ [http://24ur.com/bb/bb_article.php?article_id=3095095 Kdo je skrivnostnež, ki se bo za teden dni vselil v hišo Big Brotherja?] Big Brother Slovenia website (in Slovenian)]

Promotion ads for this event likened this to an alien abduction because the Philippine housemates were not be aware that Bruce will trade places with Tina, a foreigner, until Tina entered the Philippine House. [http://bb2.pinoybigbrother.com/tabid/547/Article/4516/Default.aspx Things to come] Pinoy Big Brother website] On the other hand, the Slovenian housemates already knew of the Swap and prepared for this event, which was expected to be a cultural exchange of sorts for both sides. The swap took place starting Day 36 (April 21) and ended on Day 41 (April 26), when the swapped housemates returned to their respective Houses.

Tina Semolic, a 22-year-old former beauty queen, was chosen by the Philippine version's staff because of her personality "would fit well" with the Filipino housemates, as well as being nice and not too aggressive. On the other hand, Bruce was chosen by the Slovenian staff because of his physique and his "very Filipino" characteristics that would stir up competition among the men there. [Cruz, Marinel R. Slovenian beauty queen in PBB housemate swap. Philippine Daily Inquirer, April 18, 2007. p. D1 (no online version)]

To let Filipino viewers know about Bruce's situation in the Slovenian House, some footage from the Slovenian version related to Bruce was also shown, aside from the events inside the Philippine House. English conversations recorded on both Houses were subtitled into Filipino, while any Slovenian conversation and comment was dubbed over by Filipino voice actors to let the Filipino viewers understand better.

Below is a list of activities each swapped housemate did in their respective host country's Houses, aside from introductions and trading of basic phrases:

While Tina left the Philippines without much incident, Bruce left Slovenia with controversy brewing up behind him. Slovenian housemates Miha and Pero made inappropriate remarks about Bruce — remarks that did not sit well with both Big Brother and the viewers there. Because of that and Pero's "plan" of "stabbing Big Brother," Big Brother removed Pero from the Slovenian House [ [http://24ur.com/bb/bb_article.php?article_id=3096007 Pero je izseljen!] , Slovenian Big Brother website] and then added Miha to the list of nominees for eviction, which already included Jasmina and Sonja.
