[edit] FormatThe show will follow a similar format to Channel 4's Big Brother. Nominations, evictions, etc. will all remain largely the same apart from a few differences.
[edit] Standard FormatEach house-guest will be given a identity (i.e. name, job, background) apart from one. If this one person discovers the secret he will be automatically in the final. It will remain unknown to all house-guests as to who is the real house-guest. It is expected there will be more twists surrounding this.
[edit] Nominations and EvictionsEach house-guest will choose 2 house-guests they wish to stay. After nominations are completed the two house-guests with the lowest amount of nominations will be up for eviction. The house-guests will then face a public vote in a vote-to-evict. The house-guest with the highest amount of votes will be evicted in front of a live studio audience. [2]
[edit] ProductionThe show is slated to take place over 55 days in Summer 2011, beginning on June 10th. [3] RTÉ have not yet confirmed the launch date or end date of the show however.
[edit] The HouseThe house itself is rumored to be currently under renovation somewhere near Balbriggan, Co. Dublin. The house is due to contain at least 38 cameras. [4] IKEA, Dublin are said to be providing furnishings and fittings for the show. [5]
