Big Brother China

Big Brother China, also referred to as Housemates, Let's Stay Together, was the Chinese version of the international reality television franchise Big Brother created by producer John de Mol Jr. in 1997. The only season of the series known as the Pilot Season was pre-recorded in September 2015 and streamed exclusively online by Youku and Tudou on 21 November 2015. The winner was Tan Xiangjun who won an endorsement contract to be a contestant on the first season worth CNY 10 million. However, the first season was never produced.

Development

Big Brother China was announced by Endemol and Youku Tudou Inc. on 28 October 2014 in a press release. A new division, Endemol China, was created in Beijing for developing and co-developing formats and promoting Chinese content abroad.
The House used for the series was located outside Mumbai, India where the Indian version, Bigg Boss was filmed but re-decorated for the Chinese edition with Endemol India assisting with the production of the show. Rebecca De Young, who previously served as a producer on the British version for over ten years prior to working on the Chinese adaptation, was named as executive producer. The pilot season was filmed over the course of twelve days from 7 to 19 September 2015 and was streamed twice a week on Wednesdays and Saturdays for six weeks starting on 21 November 2015 and ending with a live final on 6 January 2016.

Format

The Housemates competed in tasks during their stay inside the House. They were also required to vote to save one of the nominated Housemates from eviction. The nominated Housemate with the fewest save votes was evicted. The winner was decided by a public vote during the live finale.
