Big Brother Finland 2019

[BrutalGentleman]

Big Brother Finland (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Brother_(Finnish_TV_series)) returns and will run 10 weeks starting from September 1, 2019.

This is the 11th season altogether if counting the 2013 celeb version. The show celebrated its 10th anniversary in Finland in 2014 but was then put on a hiatus. During that time, the rights to the format were sold to Nelonen Media (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelonen_Media), a competitor of the Bonnier-owned "Sub (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sub_(TV_channel))" TV channel, which used to produce the show in all of its previous seasons. The old BB house in Kilo, Espoo — the second BB house in Finland — was dismantled. But now BB is back!

The exact location of the new Big Brother house (building and floor) is still not known but according to the information released so far, it will be in the Kalasatama (https://www.uuttahelsinkia.fi/sites/default/files/legacy_files/kalasatama_esite_eng_lowres.pdf) ("Fish Harbor") district of Helsinki, very near the new mall:

Some focal points of the area are the Kalasatama metro station (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalasatama_metro_station), which is connected to the recently-finished REDI (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redi_%28shopping_centre%29%) shopping mall, and eight (planned) high-rise buildings, one of which (Majakka (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majakka), which means "Lighthouse" in English) is now nearing its completion and will be the tallest residential building in Finland (at 35 floors and 134m).

Seven other tall buildings – all part of the same plan as Majakka – will also rise around REDI the mall:

https://www.helsinginuutiset.fi/sites/default/files/styles/free_w768_-_esm_2018/public/redi2.jpg

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZGpD-0bsvU

The local media reports the BB house will be built "in the base of a high-rise building under construction", which narrows it down quite a lot. I'm not sure if this means Majakka, which is nearly complete, or a neighboring building, Loisto ("Shine", 32 floors), which is currently under construction, but it will be one or the other.

See these links for more information about the buildings:

https://www.srv.fi/en/loisto-eng/

https://files.srv.fi/uploads/2019/04/SRV_REDI_Loisto_myyntiesite_EN_022019_digi_aukeama t.pdf

In addition to the house itself, the housemates will get access to "a cozy roof garden and a task area".

It has been hinted that REDI the mall will also play a part in this season as a commercial partner, and host the eviction studio in its premises. Endemol Shine Finland (http://www.endemolshine.fi/)'s Unne Sormunen has commented this could also mean letting the housemates visit some grocery stores or other functions within the mall, outside the official opening hours. They might also get food delivered to the house from some of the restaurants located in REDI. But this is partially still speculation at this point.

Sanoma Corporation (https://media.sanoma.fi/ajankohtaista/2019-02-13-sinun-brandisi-osana-syksyn-huikeaa-tv-ilmiota-big-brother-mahdollisuuksia), the owner of Nelonen Media (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelonen_Media), advertises the possibility of sponsoring the show (https://media.sanoma.fi/ajankohtaista/2019-02-13-sinun-brandisi-osana-syksyn-huikeaa-tv-ilmiota-big-brother-mahdollisuuksia) and sells product placement deals to interested commercial partners.

Many sources (https://www.is.fi/viihde/art-2000006167802.html) now confirm Ruutu.fi (https://www.ruutu.fi/ohjelmat/big-brother-suomi), Nelonen Media’s streaming video platform, will host a 24/7 service for this season. No further details have been given on the breadth of this service (how many DC or camera feeds, pricing and availability etc.) or its international availability without a proxy or a VPN. If you're interested, bombard Ruutu.fi with questions using this question/feedback form: https://kauppa.ruutu.fi/node/163260

In addition to 24/7, 90-minute (!) dailies will be broadcast on the JIM TV channel (http://www.jimtv.fi/) (available locally as an FTA channel via terrestrial broadcasts, and on basic cable, and also via the Ruutu+ service) Mon–Sat, and eviction shows on Sundays. Half of the dailies will be hosted by Kimmo Vehviläinen (https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimmo_Vehvil%C3%A4inen), the other half by Alma Hätönen (https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alma_H%C3%A4t%C3%B6nen). Eviction shows are hosted by Elina Kottonen (https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elina_Kottonen) (who used to be known as Elina Viitanen in the previous seasons but got married and took her husband's name.)

If you click on the Ruutu.fi link above, you will currently get to see two video clips related to this season. One of them is an ad for applying to become a housemate, with a BB-controlled drone flying about and choosing fictitious "housemates" with diverse backgrounds. Another one introduces the hosts.

A bit more information is available here:

https://www.nelonen.fi/ohjelmat/big-brother-suomi/

This seems to be a place where Nelonen Media collects pre-season press releases published by themselves. The articles are in Finnish but Google Translate can get something out of them:

https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=fi&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nelonen.fi%2Fohjelmat%2Fbig-brother-suomi

They have also taken the ownership of the domain http://bigbrother.fi/ (previously managed by SubTV) but it currently only redirects to the original press release (from last January) about reviving the show in Finland; the official site for the 2019 season isn’t up yet.

[BrutalGentleman]

A brief update:

The domain http://bigbrother.fi/ now redirects to https://www.nelonen.fi/ohjelmat/big-brother-suomi/ (currently apparently serving as the official homepage for the show), instead of the original January press release about BBF revival.

They have added a schedule of upcoming broadcasts. The season starts on September 1 at 21:00 EEST (Helsinki time).

There are also official Big Brother Finland Facebook and Instagram accounts:

https://fi-fi.facebook.com/bigbrothersuomi/

https://www.instagram.com/bigbrothersuomi/

*****

The current information from Nelonen / Jim is there will be two 24/7 live feeds – both of them presumably directed feeds. You get access to these by subscribing to a basic Ruutu+ service (https://www.ruutu.fi/plus) (two first weeks are free, thereafter €9.95 per month). There are no additional fees for the BB feeds – BB is part of the basic service, not a separate "premium" service.

It is something of a disappointment if Nelonen/Jim will not continue the SubTV BBF tradition of offering, in addition to the two DC feeds, four "raw" feeds from the house cameras with fixed house mic sound, mostly tied to a particular location (bedroom, living room, kitchen, etc.).

During the previous seasons, the raw feeds were often a very welcome lifeline that enabled following a particular group of housemates who were neglected by the directors of the DC1 and DC2 feeds but still doing or discussing something interesting – maybe even something more interesting than what the directors considered "interesting".

Without these "raw" extra feeds, some of the key discussions between the housemates, offering background to the social tensions in the house or to the events later unfolding in the house, would have remained unknown, and the underlying reasons and motivations for the housemates' behavior a mystery. So I hope the concept of raw camera feeds will be reinstated at some later point, even if it now seems they do not offer it for this initial revival season – assuming there will be more BBF seasons after this one, of course.

There is no information on whether you can watch the Ruutu+ 24/7 feeds from abroad without using a VPN service or if you can register as a Ruutu+ user and pay your subscription without having a Finnish address / phone number / bank account. I can’t confirm any of those things, either, as I live in Finland. But maybe someone will want to try it out, or ask them about it – e.g. in their Facebook space, where they seem to answer questions.

The latest video clip release from production (https://www.nelonen.fi/ohjelmat/big-brother-suomi/2142727-big-brother-suomi-alkaa-1-syyskuuta---luvassa-hyvin-ainutlaatuinen-kausi) features the three hosts, and was shot in and around the REDI shopping mall (https://www.realidea.fi/en/redi-shopping-centre-in-kalasatama-in-helsinki-opens-its-doors-this-week/), whose immediate vicinity the BBF house is located. The mall hosts the studios for shooting the daily shows (the segments with hosts) and is also the likely location of the actual BB house control room, although this latter detail has not been confirmed yet.

According to the video, the central plaza of REDI the mall will be used for shooting the weekly eviction shows. So there will be no permanent soundstage built for that purpose. Instead, they rig the plaza in a way that allows them to shoot the live shows in that space each Sunday.

The video also shows one of the hosts (Elina) riding the elevator which will "eject" the evicted housemate into the live show.

The new Big Brother Finland house was designed by the architect and environmental artist Marco Casagrande (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marco_Casagrande). As the season has not begun, there are no pictures of it available yet, but here’s a gallery of one of his previous works - the "Taitung Ruin Academy (http://www.biourbanism.org/organic-machine-taitung-ruin-academy/)":

https://www.designboom.com/architecture/marco-casagrande-laboratory-taitung-ruin-academy-taiwan-10-02-2014/

According to the descriptions given so far, the new BBF house might have a similar run-down and "recycled" industrial/hippie vibe to it. (Marco likes it rough!)

[BrutalGentleman]

The BBF 2019 is soon upon us (the season will kick off on Sunday, at 9 p.m. EEST), so it’s time for some updates:

As mentioned, the Big Brother Finland 2019 house is located in the REDI complex in the Kalasatama district of Helsinki. The complex and its surroundings are a largish urban development project which is being built in a former harbor/industrial area. Once finished, the complex will consist of a largish mall, a metro station, a courtyard (park on an elevated platform) and eight high-rise towers, six of which will be residential. The remaining two towers in the development plan will host businesses and a large hotel, respectively.

Here’s as a rotatable 3D model of the area (press down the Ctrl key and rotate the view by dragging from a desired center point using the left mouse button):

https://www.google.fi/maps/place/Redi/@60.1863385,24.9721559,289a,35y,67.62h,53.52t/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x469209648d417595:0x81b70 9b4794023a4!8m2!3d60.1875185!4d24.9794508

Some parts of the REDI complex – the metro station, the mall, the courtyard, and one of the high-rise buildings – have already been completed but the majority of the high-rise towers are still under construction, or erecting them has not actually started yet.

Even the towers which are not yet complete (or which are not actively being worked on right now, or just yet) already have their foundation, basement, ground-level floor and a couple of lowest floors above the ground level finished. These stub “foundation buildings” have been equipped with a temporary roof. At least some parts of them have already been taken into use while waiting for the rest of the tower construction to begin.

The BBF 2019 house has been built inside one of these stub “foundation buildings”.

Here’s a plan of the same area giving the exact locations of the towers-to-be:

https://i.imgur.com/6l9PYvb.jpg

The residential tower "T2" (Majakka, "Lighthouse") has already been erected to its full height and is just about finished now.

The residential tower "T3", (Loisto, "Shine"), is currently under construction.

The residential towers "T1" (Kompassi, "Compass"), "T4" (Kapteeni, "Captain"), "T5" (Luotsi, "Pilot"), and "T6" (Kartta, "Map") are all currently just stub “foundation buildings” for the upcoming towers, sharing their current state with the planned office tower "T7" and the hotel tower "T8", neither of which have any fancy names yet.

The BBF 2019 house is located inside the current stub “foundation building” for the tower "T7" — the one which will later become the base of an office tower. It seems the housemates’ yard/patio is enclosed within the area limited by the east-side outer wall of the "T7" building and the "V"-shaped pedestrian path.

Here’s an earlier aerial view of the area (from this summer) roughly in the state of completion as it still is now (a view from the west, or southwest; click to get a larger version):

https://i.imgur.com/iVYwGRBl.jpg (https://i.imgur.com/iVYwGRB.jpg)

The task area would appear to be located south of the "V"-shaped pedestrian path where the plan would put a small roof garden. But there’s no garden in there now, just a fenced-off rectangular area seen under construction in the above picture, and also in the picture below (a view from the north):

Finally, here’s how the area should look like when eventually completed (a view from the east):

I like the house location. ..but is there subtitles?

[BrutalGentleman]

I like the house location. ..but is there subtitles?
The housemates will be local (Finnish-speaking) and the show is being produced for the local (Finnish-speaking) audience, and subtitling 71 days of two 24/7 live feeds might be a non-starter, anyway...

(Exception: If there’s going to be an exchange with some other BB production, the housemates will speak English with the exchange housemate. We’ve had several exchanges in the past seasons... but since the show just returned from a five-year hiatus and is now being produced for a different TV network I have no idea of whether a housemate exchange would be in the cards for this season.)

In addition to the 24/7 live streams, dailies and Sunday eviction shows will be available for viewing through the same website (and also broadcast locally on JIM and Nelonen; two local TV networks owned by Nelonen Media) — but those edited shows are unlikely to have any subtitling, either.

So I’d say no, unfortunately.

Ruutu.fi has a mobile phone app for Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thirdpresence.ruutu&hl=en) and iOS (Apple devices) (https://apps.apple.com/fi/app/ruutu/id439840557) (called "Ruutu"). At least the Android version supports streaming to Chromecast and that way to your TV screen – I just tested that this works. They claim the iOS version supports streaming via Apple TV but I have no way of confirming that.

Obviously, in order to view the live feeds, you need to create a user account on the Ruutu.fi website and register as a paying customer using your credit card (€9.95 per month), and log in to the mobile app using the same credentials if you intend to stream to a TV. Living in Finland, I have no idea whether any of this works from abroad without resorting to VPNs and other trickery.

If I watch the live feed are you available for a live running commentary?

[BrutalGentleman]

If I watch the live feed are you available for a live running commentary?

You can get daily WHATM threads and other commentary at BBPlaza (https://bbplaza.org/forum/) (a Finnish BB fan forum) — they have already set up a placeholder section (https://bbplaza.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=224) for those, just like during every past season (an example (https://bbplaza.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=47&start=80)). Caveat: you need to learn how to read Finnish. Or use Google Translate (https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=fi&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fbbplaza.org%2Fforum%2F) to transmogrify it into something that sometimes almost resembles English.

(I might be able to answer random questions and give occasional summaries if you ask nicely. No promises.)

As previously mentioned, the BBF2019 house has a recycling/ecological/urban theme. It was designed by the architect and environmental artist Marco Casagrande (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marco_Casagrande). A quote from the promo material:

The house is designed by architect Marco Casagrande, who is renowned for his environmental art and intends to draw inspiration from the urban construction site surrounding the house.

"The BB House is located at the site of one of the largest construction projects in Finland to date. The architecture of the premises is woven from the material and energy flows of the city and the building sites — something between a machine, a ruin and a temple — an Orwellian construction site and a psychological compost; a human swamp. The yard is an industrial Zen garden while the ecological architecture invites into post-industrial meditation. The building materials are sanctified by recycling and create their own ecosystem into the BB space which the housemates need to take care of. The inhabitants will grow potatoes, bathe in the sauna, and wait for the butterflies to hatch," says Casagrande.

[BrutalGentleman]

One of the "test subjects" who was invited to spend 24 hours in the new BB house (among some other media representatives and local celebs) was Wilma Ruohisto, a reporter for the local tabloid Ilta-Sanomat:

https://is.mediadelivery.fi/img/468/813cea2b25f949ad823731faf2d5bf16.jpg

Here's her account on her experience:

https://www.is.fi/tv-ja-elokuvat/art-2000006221001.html

The article is in Finnish but Google Translate (https://translate.google.com/#view=home&op=translate&sl=fi&tl=en) does a pretty good job translating it to English if you copy-paste the text into the left-hand box. (Copying the mere URL and then clicking it on the right-hand side does not work with IS.fi while it works with some other sites.)

[BrutalGentleman]

Eviction show stage in REDI:

https://i.imgur.com/WWzqCTf.jpg
The live eviction shows will be televised from the central concourse of REDI, a recently-completed largish new mall and public transport hub located in Kalasatama, Helsinki. The Big Brother house, while not technically part of the mall, is part of the same residential and commercial building complex.

[BrutalGentleman]

IS.fi has published new pictures of the house and a nearly complete house tour video hosted by Wilma Ruohisto:

https://www.is.fi/tv-ja-elokuvat/art-2000006223557.html

The video does not show the diary room or the bedroom but visits their doors. Storage room is also mentioned but not shown.

This is the first season the house has been toured before kick off. The housemates are already in isolation, of course. (I guess – it hasn’t been explicitly stated.)

Here’s a copy of the video just in case:

The House Rules have now been published and are available for study here:

https://www.bigbrother.fi/uutiset/tallaiset-ovat-bb-n-saannot-big-brother-voi-muuttaa-saantoja-milloin-tahansa

Translation by Google Translate, with some light manual fixes here and there:


These are the rules of BB — Big Brother may change the rules at any time!

Big Brother's rules are very simple. The most important rule is that the rules can change.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF THE BIG BROTHER HOUSE

1. Obey Big Brother.

2. Stay visible and audible.

3. Do not touch the cameras.

4. Do not cover the microphones.

5. Hiding is prohibited.

6. It is forbidden to communicate with or attempt to communicate with the outside world.

7. Violent behavior or any form of violence against a sex, minority, ethnic group or religion is strictly prohibited.

8. Housemates nominate each other for eviction voting on a weekly basis. Mentioning nominations outside the Diary Room is forbidden and scheming associated with them is forbidden.

9. Deliberate damage to the house or its furnishings is prohibited.

10. Talking about production matters or persons involved with production is forbidden.

Big Brother may change the rules at any time if he so wishes.



FOOD AND ECONOMY

Housemates will receive their basic food supplies in the storage room. The supplies are replenished as needed. Housemates have to make do with what they get.

Big Brother decides what products are offered and the supply can be regulated according to how well the housemates are performing the given tasks.

The housemates have a shared weekly budget (€20 / inhabitant / week) from which purchases are made.

Housemates can increase their weekly budget by betting on the success of their weekly assignment.

The housemates shop according to the instructions given by Big Brother.



DIARY ROOM

You must always go to the Diary Room immediately upon Big Brother’s request.

You can also request access to the Diary Room yourself.

All Diary Room conversations with Big Brother are filmed and recorded and can be shown to viewers.

Unless Big Brother instructs otherwise, it is forbidden to disclose to the other housemates what was said in the Diary Room.



WEEKLY AND DAILY TASKS

Every week, housemates will receive a task that they must perform.

Housemates can increase their budget by betting on the success of the weekly assignment.

Bet is between 25% and 99% of your weekly budget. If the weekly assignment fails, the budget will be reduced by the percentage that was bet. The betting percentage cannot be changed after it has been announced to the Big Brother.

When the assignment is given, the housemates have five minutes to decide on the amount they want to bet on the success of the assignment in the next week's budget.

Housemates receive written material through the mailbox explaining the task in more detail.

The weekly assignment is generally mandatory for everyone.

The housemates can also get day tasks. The rules for weekly and daily tasks are not negotiable.

Any housemate who refuses to participate in a weekly or daily assignment may be penalized.

Big Brother will decide if the completion of the task was successful or not.



NOMINATIONS

One of the housemates' most demanding tasks in the Big Brother House is nominations. This procedure will be used to single out the people who will have to leave the Big Brother house at the end of the voting week.

The nominations are given in the Diary Room.

The nominated persons will be up for eviction, and one of them will be removed from the Big Brother House on the basis of the votes of the viewers.

In principle, a housemate will always be asked to nominate two other housemates. The first housemate they name will receive two nomination points, the second one one.

Thus, when housemates are asked to give their nomination points, they should award two points to the person they want to leave the house the most. The remaining point should be awarded to the person that they want to leave the house the second-most.

Everyone must participate in the nomination. Upon each nomination ceremony, the housemate must explain why the person they named should be evicted from the Big Brother house.

It is important that the housemates will carefully consider their arguments for both nominees and will be ready to formulate their opinions clearly in the Diary Room.

The housemates with the highest number of nomination points are nominated for eviction.

The housemate cannot nominate themselves or use any kind of lottery or draw method for determining their persons they’re going to give their points.

A housemate must not scheme with the naming. A housemate is not to imply or refer in any way to the persons whom they have nominated for the purpose of disclosing this information to others.

Housemates will later be told which of them have been nominated for eviction voting.



EVICTION VOTING

Viewers will decide by voting which housemates will have to leave the house.

The result of the vote will be announced simultaneously to the housemates and to the TV viewers on the Sunday Live Show.

The housemates will hear the result of the vote through the house PA system.

Housemates nominated for eviction vote must pack all their belongings so that they are prepared for a possible eviction. Once the name of the evictee is announced, the housemate in question has one minute to leave the house. The evicted housemate will be taken from the house to the studio where the live broadcast is in progress.

Everything you need to know about watching online is in this post:

http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/showpost.php?p=10667469&postcount=5

However, I have not yet heard any reports on whether you can register your credit card as a non-local or watch from abroad without resorting to a commercial VPN service with a Finnish endpoint (to masquerade your true location.)

A brief summary of the housemates, now that the first week is nearly at its end:

(Google Translate (https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=fi&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.iltalehti.fi%2Fviihdeuutiset%2 Fa%2F04e5aaf0-6ccf-4d41-aa0b-070e8d655110))


Some notes and observations on my own:


Tarina, 23 F, in relationship

https://img.ilcdn.fi/EEJnzntEhc6guySgRBXrZGDKQNo=/full-fit-in/612x/img-s3.ilcdn.fi/70beeca4ac23328345f88a03b48594ce00fe95981f37125f39 12565c8f76636d.jpg

Tarina studies psychology. She’s a member of Mensa and defines herself as pansexual. Tarina has a non-gender-aligned partner called Runo. Tarina loves long analytical debates, and often engages in them. She tries to offer her help or comfort if someone seems to be in need of a compassionate shoulder, or just a listener. She sees her mission as being someone who helps people because she sees herself so privileged compared to many other people in the world. Tarina is interested in "spiritual" things, such as yoga. (The name Tarina means "story" in Finnish. The name Runo means "poem" in Finnish. If you read the Finnish WHATM threads on BBPlaza (https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=fi&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fbbplaza.org%2Fforum%2Fviewforum.ph p%3Ff%3D217) through Google Translate, you may see these words pop up in machine translations in place of the actual names.)

Tarina is the kind of person who has quite strong "presence" and likes to meddle with things and take control of them — and, of course have long, analytical discussions about them — all in the name of general good and harmony in the house, of course. Tarina is up for eviction this first week.


Timo, 52 M, single

https://img.ilcdn.fi/wVLoaQjvazE86gLPDW8c5y9LxeU=/full-fit-in/612x/img-s3.ilcdn.fi/586bb643c00060d8f30e14f730f62493b02db0a781e08da004 41914b61a0208b.jpg

A software engineer by his profession. Lives in Espoo, a city right next to Helsinki, part of the same metropolitan area, stereotypically viewed as the dwelling place of well-off engineers. Probably not wealthy in any extreme sense, but not poor, either, and likely more well-off than most of the other housemates. Slightly snobbish in his tastes and style of living.

Timo does not seem to take too active part in the activities and interactions of the house (assignments or otherwise). He more like just sits in various places and has conversations, usually about topics such as technology or politics or money or slightly luxurious pastimes. Timo is up for eviction this first week.


Ville, 38 M, married

https://img.ilcdn.fi/aU1SxIqnz_V_maEi0C6Hnzgnqdc=/full-fit-in/612x/img-s3.ilcdn.fi/f0e7643cfb78c77dc8a764ef661bc77e7c968e9a416217c910 f5558e481b106a.jpg

A father of two, Ville works for a Christian charity that refurbishes medical equipment and supplies for hospitals in developing countries. Ville is a devout Pentecostalist (Edit: actually now a former member and part of a smaller charismatic movement, but still very close in his beliefs to what Pentecostalists teach.) He wants to show the viewers and his housemates how "a child of the Heavenly Father" lives his life.

In the house, Ville tells everyone he loves them (and God loves them) but he's not shy to tell people that according to the Bible, and therefore in his view, too, sexuality only belongs to a marriage between a man and a woman, and that homosexuality is something that the God disapproves of because it "breaks" people.

This has caused some tension especially between Ville and Kevin, who views zieself as non-gender-aligned. During the first week, Ville has also frustrated Milla to tears because Milla is strongly for equality and can't accept Ville's many suggestions of what is right or wrong per the Bible, as those viewpoints seem to suggest Ville views gays as inferior and somehow defective people.

Ville is headstrong in his beliefs and opinions related to religion but otherwise a quite calm and balanced guy. He does not "preach" as such but is eager to demonstrate the power of prayer and comment on some things that he personally views distasteful or wrong in the eyes of God. Ville won immunity for this first week by succeeding at a secret task.


Anu, 31 F, single

https://img.ilcdn.fi/x_sNEiV8ishp2qi3UwVSYQMLZBE=/full-fit-in/612x/img-s3.ilcdn.fi/81b30ae1ca1c3bd688780dd2081b27f87b39abb1c488d66a64 df3881bef2e65f.jpg

A real-estate agent and a mother of two. So far has not done anything too memorable in the house but gets along with her housemates. Has commented on a couple of occasions that the overly long and analytical debates some other housemates (such as Tarina, Kevin, and Eeva-Leena) like to have are not her cup of tea.


Kristian, 27 M, in a relationship:

https://img.ilcdn.fi/B9H4DjTruf-0s5ioXNZjxg5i8Cw=/full-fit-in/612x/img-s3.ilcdn.fi/aa38f70cc21aa1bb4a169897f507012c954aff250e3e212e7f 4bfaafedaf9e2e.jpg

The working-class straight man / comedian of the house. Loud-mouthed but good-natured, swears a lot. Nearly always finds or imagines some funny or absurd viewpoint to the matters. Lots of self-deprecating humor as well. More intelligent and clever than his looks might suggest. Has "normal"; conservative, mainstream views on many matters but is well capable of also having good-natured conversations with the ultra-liberals of the house.


Eeva-Leena, 30 F, single

https://img.ilcdn.fi/ak_0WykEMRM-LRricsSaMQBKKUE=/full-fit-in/612x/img-s3.ilcdn.fi/e2ebb9f2f1e30d70966691845eec09f63fa660dd29a1843d6f cac11ece4a4c43.jpg

Goes by the nickname "Eevis" in the house, and among her friends, too. Mathematical and analytical armchair philosopher. Was a member of Mensa for a while but left since she saw the membership as not giving her anything. Now she sees the whole organization as a stupid cult. Eeva-Leena has studied statistics, but then switched to economics, and now works in technology management. Has been dancing as a hobby for 15 years and also worked as a dance teacher.

Eeva-Leena has a penchant for long, rambling philosophical ponderings. She often uses big words and drops the names of different researches and studies with no effort. Her style of speaking / accent is quite unique: very calm and relaxed "murmur", she draws out her words in no hurry, almost always smiling. Despite her analytical mind, Eeva-Leena does not have a very good ability of producing tight summaries. She considers matters from various sides and her ponderings will often go on various tangents and side paths. BB has interrupted her philosophical analysis of matters more than once in the diary room.

Eeva-Leena surprised both the viewers and the housemates by entering in a casual sex relationship with another housemate, Jukka, on day 3 (IIRC), which must be some kind of a record on BBF, and also very much unexpected of this season, which the producers have advertised as not focusing on such things. Like her style of speech, her approach to sex seems to be very calm and relaxed: she's not particularly concerned of any "reputation" issues, and just views sex and the need of physical contact and closeness as a craving that she got in the house, and that she could satisfy with another housemate, and that's about it. She and Jukka have not yet defined the status of their "relationship" in any greater detail, and have openly admitted to each other and other housemates they don't really even know each other properly yet.


Tuula, 54 F, married

https://img.ilcdn.fi/Vwc3g5DXNJpo1jbFjSal9GQNCjQ=/full-fit-in/612x/img-s3.ilcdn.fi/a9dc28a9f3ac834d55fe533118380626521cbed69382ffc2fa 252c787cfa944f.jpg

A kindergarten teacher who likes nature and cottage life. Has been a bit in the background in the house, but got her 15 minutes of fame by accepting Big Brother’s secret assignment for this week (which she then failed). Likes to cook in the house.


Jukka, 24 M, single:

https://img.ilcdn.fi/5aDgSb1QsWcRXKp2rNpUuXYOzJo=/full-fit-in/612x/img-s3.ilcdn.fi/ed6d22c6829e795f3fe9ebaed3c93386c822fea36c6576e8a5 6f6e1d3ecb989c.jpg

Works as a machinist outside the house, also has carpenter's training. The "ordinary guy" of the house. Eeva-Leena's partner-in-crime in the house, or sex/petting/intimate closeness buddy — for now, at least. Quite determined and ambitious in assignments, likes to plan out things, wants to take the leadership position, and gets stressed and annoyed if people forget what was agreed on or want to change it during the assignment.


Kevin, 20 X, single

https://img.ilcdn.fi/-QQwnmhIjQWBbMPz-AXwckeFX2o=/full-fit-in/612x/img-s3.ilcdn.fi/e13bf2bdc1002924104336d5ccd214967bf7d064d34e525399 768e2fa99616cd.jpg

(Gonna go with gender-netural pronouns here.)

Born with male parts but views zieself non-gender-aligned, or gender-neutral. Likes to express zim feminine side. Kevin's family comes from Syria and Estonia, and zis mother tongue is Estonian, but zie says zie speaks Finnish better now.

Kevin has come to the house to give a voice to people like zie. Zie has had long conversations with the other housemates about various things that can be viewed as disrespectful or violence against "other" genders. Kevin tries hard to conduct these conversations with the other housemates respectfully and in a good-natured manner, without getting offended by their assumptions or perceived thoughtlessness, even though this is all sometimes clearly mentally taxing to zir.

It should be noted that the Finnish language does not have separate pronouns for "he" and "she". The Finnish pronoun for these is "naturally" gender-neutral, so there is no "pronoun issue" in the BBF house. I'm using "zie" here since... well, Kevin is generally a quite cool guy, if "guy" is an allowed expression.


Mira, 30 F, single

https://img.ilcdn.fi/WeaUR7CHjlrb8gvHm7_vC3d4rK8=/full-fit-in/612x/img-s3.ilcdn.fi/98b754be21520c85236cb123bb1025599913e92fddae32f224 b27c560532bc3c.jpg

Mira was originally a hairdresser but now works as a barmaid, waiter, and an escape room attendant/hostess. Mira's worldview is traditional/conservative, and she is quite critical toward immigration policies which allow illegal migrants enter the country en masse posing as asylum seekers.

In the house, Mira has been quite active in the assignments, and otherwise, too. Mira is generally a bit harsh in the style how she expresses herself but seems good-natured. While she sometimes questions some of the more liberal viewpoints expressed in the house, or some particularly questionable details in them, poking at them a bit, she is not overly confrontational in her nature, and gets well along with her housemates.


Kimmo, 30 M, single

https://img.ilcdn.fi/kv04x4uSohcYhS4mCc_7oFs-duw=/full-fit-in/612x/img-s3.ilcdn.fi/dcf80204c44998e2f5c1c4e9e56138be11a2f4c3325807de1a c81b6cdd7c0ccb.jpg

A flight controller by his education. Works at the Helsinki-Vantaa airport as a flight planner and studies law in university, which would be his fourth degree. Kimmo is interested in equality and the rights of immigrants and asylum seekers. Kimmo is gay.


Milla, 24 F, single

https://img.ilcdn.fi/mlCwS9-zKS48xRtTm8LVtIhLRQ4=/full-fit-in/612x/img-s3.ilcdn.fi/b48920162b1eafa713adf6d4a83ddd7ad4c7dfe3a51376b08b 0256f98cda4e3a.jpg

Milla belongs to a twerking dance group and has worked professionally as an arranger of student parties. Milla's worldview is liberal and feminist, while her parents are more conservative. Milla is an active housemate and has taught and demostrated twerking in the house which lead to a conflict with Ville, who views this as degrading toward women because this dancing style is so sexualized.


Emma, 29 F, in a relationship

https://img.ilcdn.fi/fRV1qAk6hZbjmKStz5vwsbE9hp8=/full-fit-in/612x/img-s3.ilcdn.fi/822e79d637545a34d68e832ed4f2172c134b538f6e2c887cf9 11211731b54563.jpg

Emma studies fashion at Aalto University in Espoo, Finland. Emma identifies as an artist and lives with her girlfriend and six cats. One of Emma's pastimes is producing mind-blowing drag videos which she publishes on YouTube. The drag videos feature her alter ego, an exaggerated caricature of a very self-centered singer. Emma is up for eviction on this first week.


Helmeri, 32 M, single

https://img.ilcdn.fi/IVVCqEpUvjHb5RV4mFXIxF1rPAw=/full-fit-in/612x/img-s3.ilcdn.fi/b249132d81e0c70b355279c7aee809d652672e63ca2dd75db2 8f2b20103018ff.jpg

Helmeri is a pro scooter (http://www.eaglescootersupply.com/riders/11/helmeri-pirinen.html) who runs his own company related to the sport.


A brief summary of how the season has started off:

The new production team promised a totally different season for this "reboot" of BB in Finland, in "back to the roots" style. The casting would focus on diverse educated people with strong "agendas" instead of very young adults seeking screen time and questionable fame. Alcohol consumption and partying would be limited. Relationships, sex, and nudity would not sought after, would be unlikely to happen, and the cameras would turn away if anything should happen.

Well, well, well... the first week has seen a couple (Jukka and Eevis) quite openly petting each other under a shared blanket daytime, while spending time with the other housemates, and boinking like rabbits during the nights (usually retreating to the living room or outside to the wide, wooden, fixed patio bench), starting from day 3. Always under the blanket, but still, getting to this point so quickly must be a record on BBF. They’re very open about their shenanigans and joke about it with the other housemates. The female half of this couple, Eevis, is a former member of Mensa and fond of very philosophical, analytical, lengthy conversations, so that's certainly different this time around. But I guess this was a surprise even to the producers. The cameras do turn away, eventually, but only after the viewer has been left with no doubt of what is going on, from the sounds and sights.

But otherwise, the change in casting objectives can definitely be noticed as a viewer: the housemates are now a bit older, on average (and therefore more mature in their behavior and worldviews), most of them are well-educated, and practically all of them seem to be quite intelligent (some even highly intelligent) and knowledgeable about the world, politics, and various issues. And several of them have an "agenda", an issue they want to make known and discuss about. The conversations have definitely been on a wholly different level of intelligence than during the seasons that were produced before the hiatus.

The first weekly task involved guarding "BB coins" in two different vases which were never to be taken to the same room, and which needed to be guarded against theft 24/7, so the housemates needed to divide themselves into groups which would take turns in guarding the vases throughout the night as well. The housemates were also required to perform daily tasks which would be paid off from those vases at the end of the weekly task, if there was enough money left, and they needed to guard the vases even during those tasks.

During the week, several housemates got a secret task to steal coins from the vases with the objective to make the weekly task fail. This created a very paranoid atmosphere. One of the housemates with this secret task, Tuula, succeeded at it but hid the stolen coins in her boot, where they were found by a night guard group commanded by Jukka (the other members being Eevis, Mira, Kimmo, and Emma). BB punished Tuula for failing at the task by making her wear orange prisoner's overalls and fake chains for the rest of the week. There were also many other twists and turns.

Eventually, Ville succeeded in the same secret task, which meant he got some more "BB coins" from BB (these can be used for purchasing e.g. party supplies, or whatever else BB might offer at various times), immunity in the next eviction, and some yet unknown major benefit in the upcoming weekly task for the next week. But since the housemates had failed to guard the money, they also failed at the weekly task (as was the objective of Ville's secret task) and their weekly shopping budget (which they did a 99% bet on) was reduced to €2.80.

In addition to the weekly task and related daily tasks, the housemates have also been tasked to give fervent 5-minute speeches each (all were pretty good), and they have by their own initiative arranged lots of activity such as a fashion show, and shows were they play short sketches imitating other housemates.

The BB house is very ecological – the housemates need to recycle their trash and grow herbs and salad and some other edible plants in the dirt bed at the back of the kitchen. Continuing on the same theme, one of the daily tasks during the week was building an outhouse. (It has not been taken in use yet, but maybe during some upcoming task...)

[BrutalGentleman]

The evictee for the first week was Emma.

The upcoming weekly task for the 2nd week will feature a cruise ship theme with a privileged passenger (Ville, who succesfully carried out BB's secret task last week) who travels in a "super cabin".

BB has noticed there are a couple of housemates, Eevis and Jukka, who do not like to spend their nights in the bedroom with the others, but prefer sleeping in the living room instead. Viewers can now decide whether Ville will get Eevis or Jukka as his travel companion in the cabin for the duration of the task.

Some updates:

Week 2: A VIP Cruise on M/S Big Brotherella

The second week’s task was a virtual cruise on M/S Big Brotherella, a cruise ship where Ville, Eevis, and Helmeri were VIP passengers living in a VIP cabin (extra room) and the other housemates were the crew, with Kristian appointed as the cruise director.

The crew needed to bend backwards to create the most hospitable and entertaining environment for the VIP passengers. Kristian was responsible for planning the shifts, listening to the demands of the VIP passengers, and keeping track of what everyone is doing, and that they're doing it the proper way. The VIP passengers had to enjoy their trip and demand services, such as à la carte restaurant services and live entertainment.

The crew roles at any time were:

- Kristian as the cruise director
- 2 entertainers
- 2 cooks/waiters
- 2 HMs cleaning
- 1 info desk & PA announcements attendant
- 1 HM at the helm

https://jcn.kuvat.fi/kuvat/bb2019/Screen-Shot-09-10-19-071.jpg?img=full
The crew (Kevin and Tarina) entertaining the VIP passengers (Eevis and Ville).

Kristian was excellent in his role as the cruise director and played a comically unctuous cruise host to the VIP guests, noting their every little wish while trying to keep track of his crew, and assign them to suitable tasks, which was very taxing to him.

To get an idea of Kristian’s stress levels during the week, here's a machine-translated excerpt from the WHATM thread (https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=fi&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fbbplaza.org%2Fforum%2Fviewtopic.ph p%3Fp%3D726720%23p726720), where Kristian is trying to get some sort of a confirmation of whether or not the rules of the task would allow him to take part in the shifts in his role as the cruise director since one of his crewmen (Anu) had called sick and he was one person short of staff.

The only problem for him was that BB did not give any clear instructions and the task was originally described in a letter which the VIP passenger Ville had received personally, but which he was not allowed to directly show to the others.

There was also a conflict between Jukka and Kristian since VIP passenger Eevis tried to lure Jukka to the VIP cabin to give her some personal night-time massage but Jukka was part of the crew, so Kristian could not let him go.

Kristian at the end of a hard day on the cruise ship.

The HMs succeeded in the task, likely due to Kristian taking the task so seriously despite of all the difficulties. At the end of each day, he was so done (https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=fi&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fbbplaza.org%2Fforum%2Fviewtopic.ph p%3Fp%3D727106%23p727106) it's a small miracle he managed to pull it off. The other HMs were mostly really great as well, having to suddenly switch roles whenever the fog horn sounded, and continue whatever some other HM had been doing at the time.

Timo was evicted at the end of the week. He was generally well-liked by the other HMs but they thought he would maybe "need" the house the least. The viewers probably liked Timo, too, but did not see him as the most entertaining housemate. He was one of the older HMs, quite a calm guy, more discussion-oriented than action-oriented, and generally went to bed early, so his screen time in the dailies was limited.

Week 3: BB trolls the HMs

The 3rd week had no task. BB offered the HMs false cues and small fake daily tasks which had no solution, just to mess with their minds. By the end of the week, the majority of the HMs only needed to believe in that they have succeeded in the task to actually succeed in it. (They were asked about this individually in the DR.) The housemates succeeded in the taskless task; only Tuula did not believe in them succeeding in it.

One of the big drama events during this week was Tarina and Kristian having a conflict of opinion over Tarina redoing some of the jigsaw puzzles that had been sent to the house during the week. Kristian thought the already-solved puzzles were important to the task and that they would possibly be penalized for Tarina's action, and that Tarina was not following her own principles about making all important decisions together when she did something like that without consulting the others. The conflict between Tarina and Kristian got so bad the HMs decided to arrange a formal mediation between them, overseed by Kimmo and Eevis in the bedroom, with just the four of them present. Tarina felt that Kristian was attacking her personally, whereas Kristian’s view was that Tarina is overly sensitive and gets offended about various things all too easily.

The housemate to be evicted at the end of this week was Eevis (Eeva-Leena). My view is this eviction result was primarily because she spent too much time with Jukka during the first couple of weeks and did not have enough interaction with the other HMs.

A big part of Eevis getting evicted was that she and Jukka endangered the 2nd week weekly task by trying to get to sleep together even when separated to different sides (crew & VIP passengers), and continued having sex during the 3rd week every night in the bedroom or bathroom even after BB had specifically ordered them to sleep in the bedroom among the other HMs, instead of spending their nights in the relative privacy of the living room (as they used to during the first couple of weeks.) The other housemates sleeping in the bedroom generally did not want to witness their kissing, petting, and other activity during the night. But although the couple tried to be discreet about it, they did it anyway, and could not remain apart from each other even for a single night. This somewhat impolite behavior irked many of the viewers as well, or at least did not win too many votes for Eevis in the eviction vote, once she was first nominated by the HMs.

Week 4: Outdoor life and pine-cone cows for toys

The 4th week’s weekly task was carried out in the outdoor task area, which had a simulated national park theme. The housemates spent their nights in sleeping bags under an open-air, sloped canopy, made their nature calls in a wooden outhouse (which they actually built themselves during the first week), cooked their food using a spirit burner / alcohol stove kit, and had to furnish 79 kg of four-legged toy animal figurines (cows) made out of of sticks and pine cones by the end of the week.

https://jcn.kuvat.fi/kuvat/bb2019/Screen-Shot-09-24-19-009.jpg?img=full

The HMs succeeded in the task. After getting back into the house, they got a party with Oktoberfest theme and were given enough alcohol to get very, very drunk — which many of them did.

https://jcn.kuvat.fi/kuvat/bb2019/Screen-Shot-09-27-19-050.jpg?img=full

Anu and Helmeri, who had been eyeing up each other even before this week but had not yet done much about it, were both ****-faced in the party, but in a very cutesy way. The other HMs — Mira in particular — egged on them to act on their desires and kiss each other, which they eventually did, after much initial encouragement from the others.

https://i.ibb.co/N38Dnv7/Screenshot-20190928-052544.jpg (https://ibb.co/VN7np13)

A WHATM report with more pictures here (https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=fi&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fbbplaza.org%2Fforum%2Fviewtopic.ph p%3Fp%3D732301%23p732301). See also the other pages of that thread and the thread from the previous day (https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=fi&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fbbplaza.org%2Fforum%2Fviewtopic.ph p%3Ff%3D224%26t%3D7728) for more pictures from the party.

The evictee at the end of this week was Tarina, so the Tarina-Kristian conflict got its closure. Soon after, Kristian told the other HMs he was really relieved about this result; a big weight was lifted from his shoulders. Tarina being offended about anything and everything he says — and on behalf of the other HMs as well — and trying to make them discuss about their feelings, and do communal decisions about every little insignificant thing, was all just really foreign to Kristian. Instead of having lengthy discussions about feelings and demands for apologies and heightened sensitivity, Kristian would have liked Tarina just to come up to him and say something like "Kristian, you ****ing asshole, we have talked about this!" bluntly to his face, and that would have been enough for him to get the message, but Tarina did not want to use this kind of language or communication style even after asked to.

Week 5: Stressing it out

Now we're at the end of week 5. This week's task has involved dividing the housemates into two teams, blue and red, both wearing spandex suits of respective color and smart rings which record their stress, or excitement levels. The task of the blue team was to keep their stress levels below the average and the task of the red team was to keep their stress levels above it. The teams were also switched around mid-week.

The housemates failed at this task, partially because the sponsored wearable ring monitors were maybe recording a bit funny and inconsistent readings. It was not for lack of trying, though:

This week, the HMs were also shown a short movie from last week's Oktoberfest party, titled Only a Little Kiss:

Rough translation of the conversation:

---

0:09

Helmeri (laughing): "Hey, why are you... like that?"
Anu (turning around, confused): "Like... what?"

0:25

After hugging for a while, Helmeri starts breathing more heavily and making some sighing noises:

Anu (amused/confused): "What? Are you laughing... or crying?"
Helmeri: "I'm laughing!"
Anu: "Which one it is?"
Helmeri (smiling): "Laughing."
Anu: "Well, good!"
Helmeri (with laughter): "If I were crying... that would maybe be... somewhat more interesting!"
Anu: "Yeah."

0:47

Helmeri (looking at Anu in the eyes): "Hmm?"
Anu: "Hmm."
Helmeri: "Hmmh."
Anu: "Hmm."
Helmeri: "Hmmh."
Anu: "Hmm."

1:00

Helmeri (very politely): "May I... may I kiss you?"

The couple is kissing.

1:23

After giving a little laughter.

Helmeri: "That was, like, a little kiss."
Anu: "Mmh."
Helmeri: "Only a little kiss..."
Anu: "Yeah."

1:36

Helmeri (pushing Anu away): "Now we got to go... Jukka is waiting for us."

(Jukka went out in the yard to smoke a cigarette and the couple were supposed to follow the suit.)

1:41

Helmeri: "Wha-what do I put on my feet to go? These?"

Helmeri (trying on the slippers): "These are ****ing wet! All wet! All, like, ... Prbrbrbt!"

Helmeri: "Better to go without."

2:15

Helmeri: "I have a horrible headache!"
Anu: "What?"
Helmeri: "A horrible headache!"
Anu: "The same!"

Here is the official reaction shot video from the "premiere" of Only a Little Kiss in the BBF house and the official link to the "movie" itself (in case the video clips embedded to these articles are viewable from outside of Finland):

https://www.bigbrother.fi/uutiset/asukkaat-hullaantuivat-anun-ja-helmerin-tahdittamasta-elokuvasta-jaadaan-odottamaan-jatko-osaa

https://www.bigbrother.fi/uutiset/yleison-pyynnosta-hittielokuva-pieni-pusu-vain

This week, Jukka, Mira, and Tuula are up for eviction. In an unusual twist, the viewers got to nominate the HM they want to save the most each day during the week, until only three of them were left unsaved. A snapshot of the percentages of these intermediate nomination results were shown to the house each day, and the saved HMs were also announced each night.

Normal eviction televote (by the viewers) is in progress now and will close on Sunday.

(There have been some rumors and speculation (https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=fi&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fbbplaza.org%2Fforum%2Fviewtopic.ph p%3Ff%3D219%26t%3D7749) about a possible upcoming housemate exchange with another BB production. For instance, some of the HMs have had weird DR visits and have made some veiled comments about something nice/interesting possibly happening. No official word on it yet, and it might be just a misinterpretation of the available cues. We'll see.)

[BrutalGentleman]

Someone’s actively collecting BBF2019 clips under this Twitter account:

https://twitter.com/bbparhaatpalat

Please note that some of the clips are studio segments from the dailies where the hosts interview guests who are not housemates.

[BrutalGentleman]

The 5th person to be evicted from the BBF2019 house was Tuula. Mira and Jukka were saved.

The upcoming week (6th week) will feature lots of physical activity. BB has built an obstacle course in the outdoor task area. The HMs will be given a certain target, set in kilometers, that they need to reach to succeed in their weekly task, by repeatedly navigating through the course.

Also, once the weekly task ends, BB will arrange false nominations. The housemates will nominate in the Diary Room in the normal way, but those nominations will be meaningless.

Instead, the viewers will get to nominate once again — but this time by voting to nominate HMs for eviction, not to save them.

Two HMs will get nominated, instead of the usual three, and the HMs will be made to evict one of them during the Sunday Live Show. It has not yet been made public whether the housemates will vote for or against eviction, but presumably this vote will be conducted openly in front of the other HMs.

Also, before the eviction voting will take place, the HMs will get to see the Diary Room videos of the false nominations.

Kimmo (pictured above in the Diary Room) — who was appointed as the "coach" of the rest of the HMs who navigate the obstacle track round and round — got a letter from Big Brother.

BB has a secret task for Kimmo: if he manages to encourage all other HMs to break their personal "number of laps per day" record tomorrow, everyone — including Kimmo himself — gets to read a letter from home.

If only some of the HMs manage to break their personal record, only those persons will receive their letter, and Kimmo won’t get his.

Kimmo is not allowed to disclose this information to his housemates.

[BrutalGentleman]

Housemates have been breaking their personal rounds per day records on the obstacle course. They also got an exercise bike in the house which they can pedal to add further kilometers to their goal (using a certain factor).

It would seem quite certain the HMs are going to succeed at their weekly task. Also, they will get to read their letters from home — a reward which anyone except Kimmo does not know about yet.

The HMs passed their weekly task. They were also shown their false nominations on TV (which they don’t know yet are meaningless.)

This did not induce any great reactions. The HMs mostly just shrugged it off, or thought the awarded points were pretty much as expected, and that it was interesting to see how the other HMs view you.
