What happens

Big Brother 2023 is the third cooperation season of the Dutch and Belgian version of Big Brother. It is the ninth regular version of Big Brother in both Belgium and the Netherlands. The show is broadcast on RTL 5 in the Netherlands and Play4 in Belgium beginning on 9 January 2023. Live streams are available 24/7 on Videoland for Dutch viewers and on GoPlay.be and Telenet for Belgian viewers. In August 2022, there was an announcement of the new season and a call for new housemates. The start and house of the season was revealed at the beginning of January 2023. Geraldine Kemper returned as host of the show. Tatyana Beloy was announced as the new Belgian host. The house of the previous seasons remained but was again restyled. It was intended to be very colorful. The shop of the previous season was changed into the Wall. A safe was also added. In the bathroom the bath was removed and replaced by a make-up table. A secret room and outside game area was added. Next to the house a showbuilding was built. The format of the show was also retooled adding the Power of Nomination, Big Brother coins and a jackpot of 100.000 euro at the start. The eleven first housemates arrived at January 2023. The first episode aired on 9 January 2023. The ratings of the launch were lower than the previous season, having only 356.000 viewers in the Netherlands. The first episode aired on 3 January 2023. Loneliner Jason Glas became very popular. The public arranged a plane with message that flew by. Because the housemates had to play much more individual, there were more tensions and fights. The livestream was even stopped one time. Rob Groenendijk had all the bad luck. The senior of the group of housemates had lots of ailments and was most of the times at the couch. He was visited by a doctor three times, a record. In week 7 he asked to be nominated, but his will was not granted. Because of that Groenendijk decided to leave the house himself. For the first time ever in this cooperation edition an evicted housemate, Danny Volkers, returned to the house after some time as actual housemate, back competing in the game. The final was on 1 April 2023 and the winner was Bart Vandenbroeck who won the jackpot of €73,338. The final was watched by 368.000 viewers in the Netherlands and 220.560 viewers in Belgium. Broadcoaster RTL 5 called the season a successful one, having more viewers than the previous season. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
