Storyline

Based on the Dutch series, thirteen strangers who are living in a studio-like house that's filled with cameras and microphones, compete in a series of physical and mental stunts, and some challenging trivia at a chance at $500,000 in this reality soap opera-like summer program. Thirteen of those house guests live in 13 different states. America will watch every single move they compete to be the last one standing, after having twelve house guests evicted. These strangers are the contestants who think they have absolutely nothing in common, and a few are in a shock for their lives. The house guests begin to introduce other people at the Big Brother house. It's the first time they will get to know each other and they're not allowed to say not one word with them until they are in the Big Brother house. The thirteen will be living in the same house for the following two months. They may either find their best friend or worst enemy in that group; and in the end, it's one men for themselves...

Oh yeah, this is entertaining (Im being sarcastic)
22 December 2000 | by (maryland) – See all my reviews

Wow, what a show! SIKE! There's nothing like watching a fat dude who bleeches his hair and who depends on his wife and hometown to win the big prize.

I have never seen anything this boring before in my life. I think CBS was high when they decided to put this show in the line up. I couldn't stand 5 minutes of this show when I saw it for the first time.

Im quite interested in the Wednesday night banishment deal. Thats the only thing I watch (but most of the time I go to the web site and find the results there) show on the show.

Im quite confused why commenters on the site choose BB2000 over Survivor. Survivor is much more entertaining.

Overall, BB2000 is better left unseen.
