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 RTL5 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.[1] The start and house of the season was revealed at the beginning of January 2023.[2]

Geraldine Kemper returned as host of the show. Tatyana Beloy was announced as the new Belgian host.[3] [4]

The house of the previous seasons remained but was again restyled.[5] 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.[6] 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.[7]

The eleven first housemates arrived at January 2023.[8] 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.[9] The first episode aired on 3 January 2023. Loneliner Jason Glas became very popular. The public arranged a plane with message that flew by.[10] Because the housemates had to play much more individual, there were more tensions and fights. The livestream was even stopped one time.[11] 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.[12] 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.[13]

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.[14] [15] Broadcoaster RTL5 called the season a successful one, having more viewers then the previous season.[16]

Production

Format

Big Brother 2023 followed the same format as the previous seasons of the program. Housemates lived in isolation from the outside world in a custom-built house for a period of 100 days, hoping to be the last one to leave the house as the winner, and walk away with a large cash prize.

Concept

Producers of the reality show stated this season would be different compared to the other seasons. This was explained during the launch.[17] This season the housemates had to play individually. This was enhanced by introductions of the following new things:- Big Brother coins: each housemate had his own budget of Big Brother coins. Housemates could earn coins by doing tasks and could spend the coins in the Wall.- Power of Nomination: only the winner of the Power of Nomination game would be able to nominate.

The secret room was also added. One housemate a week could gain access to that room by winning the Time Game. That housemate was helped in that room by the Live viewers. By doing the task in the secret room, the housemates were ranked. At the end there would be a reward for the best player.[18]

Broadcasts

The first episode was pre-recorded on the evening of 6 January 2023 and simultaneously broadcast on RTL4 and RTL5 in the Netherlands, Play4 on Belgium on 9 January 2023. The Daily show aired from Monday to Friday with the live show on Saturday night.[19]

Housemates

Eleven housemates entered the house during the launch. The following weeks five housemates were added.[20] [21] [22]

Jason and Jolien made a deal to not nominate each other. On Day 74, housemates played the final secret room game. Charlotte won a ticket to the final week, Jolien won an advantage for the nominations, Lindsey won 25 coins, Bart won a phone call home, Jason got nothing and Danny lost his only coin.

There was a new freeze game, with Barts daughter. Seeing Bart emotional, Jolien started talking and breaking the freeze game and telling Bart to hug his daughter. The housemates could nominate one of them, this was Lindsey. The public could nominate two other housemates.

On Day 77, Danny & Jolien were nominated by the public. Lindsey was already nominated by the audience. They, and Jason, faced the public vote. On Day 78, Danny became the tenth housemate to be evicted and he had to leave the house for a second time.

Week 12 - Only one winner week [36]
On Day 78, the final week started. While the five remaining housemates were in the gameroom, ex-housemates Chayron, Chelsea and Judy decorated the house. The last housemates got a party. On Day 80, ex-housemates Ilse and Jacqueline secretly hide countless table tennis balls in the house. The housemates have to find them and bring them in a tube on time for the jackpot. Ex-housemate Rob counted the balls in secret in the gameroom. On Day 81, the housemates heard that one of them would leave today. Lindsey became the eleventh housemate to be evicted by the public. She gave her 8 coins to Charlotte. The last four housemates were able to make promotion for themselves in order to win the season. In exchange they had to use their coins. Jolien could only make a selfcreated poster, Charlotte a blackwhite film and Bart and Jason each a colored film.

On Day 82, ex-housemates Chiara and Michelangelo made a secret visit to the house and prepared breakfast for the last housemates. There's a new freeze challenge: Charlotte's niece and Barts wife come by to make promotion right before their relative. That evening, there's another freeze by Jasons brother and Joliens sister. On Day 83, the secret missions of the ex-housemates is showed at the last housemates. On Day 84, Charlotte became the twelfth housemate to be evicted by the public. She gave her last coin to Jolien.

Bart, Jason and Jolien were the finalists. On Day 85, they were able to choose their clothes for the final in the secret room that was changed in a clothing shop. On Day 86, the finalists have unlimited warm water to shower for the first time. Jolien is the first one to leave the house, having the third place. Bart was announced as the winner, leaving Jason as the runner-up.

Notes

Because Judy chose the suitcase with nomination in Jason's game, she already faced eviction.

Because of winning a battle, Team Pink won the Power of Nomination.

Jason had the most nominations and had to leave the house immediately. Unknown to the other housemates, he went to the secret control room.

Because of failed secret missions, Jason stayed nominated.

Rob had the most nominations during the dilemma nominations and was nominated automatically.

Since Charlotte had the fewest votes to save, she was automatically nominated the next week.

Since Charlotte and Lindsey won the talent weeks, they were rewarded. Lindsey won immunity and Charlotte lost her nomination (indicated by)

Since Lindsey chose the secret box during the jackpot challenge with hourglass, she could nominate one housemate.
