Rockstar Big Brother is a television show in which a group of musicians live together in a large house, isolated from the outside world but continuously watched by television cameras. The series will last for around 3/4 weeks, and there should be about 15 participants. The housemates try to win a cash prize by avoiding periodic evictions from the house. The housemates are invited to vote to have one of a number of nominated housemates evicted from the house. In some cases two housemates may be evicted simultaneously (a "double eviction"), or rarely, no housemates will be removed for that day. At the end of the game, the last remaining housemate is declared the winner of that particular series and receives prizes, including a large amount of money, a car and a vacation which will be announced soon.
From a sociological and demographic perspective, this format allows the opportunity for analysis of how people react when forced into close confinement with people who lie outside their comfort zone, since they may hold different opinions or ideals from other contestants, or simply belong to a different group of people than a contestant normally interacts with. Indeed, the format is ideally suited to such analysis because the viewer is afforded the opportunity to see how a person reacts on the outside through the constant recording of their actions and also what they feel on the inside through the Diary Room/Confession Room. The results can range from violent or angry confrontations to genuine and tender connections (often including romantic interludes), providing entertainment to the public.
