No. Like I say it's more of a game. The housemates nominate and evict each other and eventually decide who wins.

They have a Head of House comp at the start of the week, the winner of that has to put up two housemates for eviction. Then later in the week there is a Power of Veto comp, where the HOH, the two nominees and three other random housemates compete in. The winner of the Veto has the power to remove one of the nominees if they so wish. If they remove a nominee the HOH has to name a replacement.

At the end of the week, the rest of the housemates, apart from the HOH, go to the Diary Room and vote off one of the nominees.

When it gets down to the last 9 housemates every week a housemate is evicted they go to a sequester house and become a member of the Big Brother Jury. In the sequester house, they are still cut off from the outside world, so that they don't get influenced, they get to see edited footage of the BB house. When the sequester house is full with the 7 jury members they then vote for who they want to win the show out of the final 2 housemates.

It's really entertaining because you get some really good gameplayers. But so far this series doesn't seem to have any good players or likable people for that matter.
