The original format of Big Brother was a Dutch reality television show called Big Brother, which was created by John de Mol. The show was a social experiment in which a group of strangers were isolated from the outside world and monitored 24 hours a day by cameras and microphones. The contestants were given tasks to perform, and the winner of the competition would receive a cash prize. The show was a huge success in the Netherlands, and was later adapted for the United States.
