Tuesday 24 April 2001 — MELBOURNE

Big Brother makes its Australian debut. Host Gretel Killeen welcomes twelve contestants into the Big Brother house, situated at the Dreamworld theme park, where they will be constantly monitored with no access to the outside world. Each week one contestant would be evicted from the house, eventually leaving one contestant as the series winner.

Big Brother became a hit for Ten, continuing for eight seasons, and sparked the reality TV format in Australia.
