Big Brother (German season 7)


Season Seven of Big Brother Germany lasted for 148 days from 5 February 2007 to 7 July 2007 and was shown on RTL Zwei.

Summary

After a disappointing sixth season, which was supposed to run forever but was cut short and a year break the producers decided to return with a "Back to the roots"-format for season seven with 12 housemates living together in one house and the only twist being that the housemates had to earn the prize. For every match, a certain amount of money was put in the jackpot with the maximum being €250,000 which only the winner would receive.
During the season the nomination rules were changed several times for entertainment purposes and to protect controversial housemates. The most controversial of them was Eddy, who was disliked by a large number of viewers but also had a strong fanbase. Within the house, he had friends and "enemies", with alliances changing over the season. After being evicted by his fellow housemates Eddy returned as a guest in the final week and provoked some of the most controversial moments of the season. These moments probably helped Michael to win the show, as he was considered a victim of Eddy's provocations. Additionally, Michael's strongest rival for the win, Sonja, had become Basti's girlfriend during the season and Basti was close with Eddy.
Despite not being a rating hit, season 7 at least lived up to RTL II's low expectations and an 8th Season was greenlit right at the end of the show.
