The sixth Season of Big Brother Germany lasted for 363 days from 1 March 2005 to 26 February 2006 and is therefore the second longest running Big Brother show worldwide, but was firstly considered to run without an end.
Summary
Originally this season wasn’t meant to end in at least few years, as long as broadcaster would have successful ratings. On 25 November 2005 was announced by RTL II that this “forever” series would end on 26 February 2006 in big ultimate show of Big Brother Germany.
This season started at Season 5 finale on 1 March 2005 at 21:15 local time and lasted for 363 days. Auditions held in December 2004 in biggest cities in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland.
In contradiction to pre-series rumors it wasn’t complete settlement with church and forest, which should be simulated in big area. This was a facility with three homes.
The village consisted of three houses. Contestants that lived in particular living environments had society status suitable to living area status. Contestants lived in Rich House (“Bosses”), Middle-class house (“Assistants”), and Survival (“Servants”). Even the accommodation reflects each contestant's social standing in the village. The three houses (3, 7, and 9) have separated entrants from the square. In houses 11 and 13 are held matches, as well as in Arena (name “Matchfield” in Season 5). Residents can earn money in various working environments (Car repair garage, The Farmyard, and Fashion Studio). This was the only BB season to have individual so important in team budget, because each individual had his salary.
Weekly task is given to housemates on Monday by Big Brother. Given goal should be reached until Friday, when it ends. In Friday Big Brother decides what contestants had achieved. Team should manage to reach 100% to receive €1,200. Team consists of one Boss, two Assistances, and two Servants. The distribution of wages is respective Boss. Big Brother set requirement that Boss earns €500, Assistances €250, and Servants €100. But ultimately Boss himself decides the wages. Boss was allowed to award “Golden Point” to the greatest employee. Two golden points meant promotion to Assistant for Servant and €500 cash to his account for Assistant. If one team does not reach weekly target (lower than 85%), than Boss losts his position of power and became a Servant, than viewers vote other team member to become The Boss.
Some work areas change purpose during the series. The Fashion Studio was changed into Big Brother Hotel on 26 November 2005. The Car Repair Headquarters are changed into the “Big Brother – Morning Show” studio between 28 November 2005 and 30 December 2006. The morning show was broadcast every morning from 8:55am to 9:55am at RTL II. Car Repair Garage was modified into The Wedding Chapel for housemate Marco and former housemate Bettina and later into the ice rink.
The Village had its internal telephone system for residents from different houses to communicate. The original village was 5,000 sq meters large, and later was new 600 sq meters facility constructed in the village. This modified village had also entertaining areas, such as pub (Big Bar) and fitness centre.
At launch 11 residents (3 Bosses, 4 Assistants, and 4 Servants) entered the village. In following weeks it increased to 15 residents, which count as the original cast.
The nomination process varies through the season. Usually Big Brother pre-determinates group of housemates that cannot be nominated (Gender, Work Teams, Home Teams, etc.).
Each housemate has his own BB account. This account allows contestants to increase wages by challenges and matches. Contestant receives all earned cash won during his stay at the eviction. If contestant is expelled or voluntarily leaves the village, than he does not receive his account.
The grand cash prize jackpot (250,000 Euro) has been given twice this season. The first time to Giuseppe in August 2005 and second time to Michael at the season finale. During season were housemates awarded cash prizes weekly. All prizes were almost €2,000,000.
