The first season of Big Brother Sverige started on September 4 and enden on December 15 2000 lasting for 103 days. Being one of the first ten countries to air the format, the show saw several "worlds first" in the game.
After nine original contestants entered the house on launch night, Daniel Hellström would eventually walk only three days later. In the second week Eva Pederson, single mother of four, walked as well which was resulting in only seven housemates being eligible for the first nomination and two replacements making their way into the house before the very first official eviction.
Having a diverse cast, the audience witnessed a lot of arguments and misunderstandings between the contestants mainly between the "sexual experiental" housemates and the more conservative ones. Angelica Freij, 33 year old mother of six, felt offended by the close relationship between lesbian Anna Bäckelin and bisexual Paula Glantz. However in a conversation with Anna, she admitted of never having any contacts to homosexuals and the experience to live with some of them in the house (many housemates stated to be bisexual in that season) opened some new points of view for her which earned her a lot of sympathies by the viewers.
The girl-girl relationship between Paula and Anna got troubled when female's favorite Christoffer Jensen re-entered the house after being evicted and started to fancy Paula, who then decided "to go hetero" for the rest of the season and being concentrated on Christoffer mostly to Annas disappointment.
Together with Christoffer, two new housemates entered the house on Day 61 with only one of them eventually being allowed to stay in the house as the replacement contestant for Johan Hellström, who voluntary left the house close before. When the housemates voted for Christoffer to stay in the house, he became the first contestant to replace two different housemates (he has also been the replacement for Daniel Hellström earlier that series) and Big Brother saw its first double eviction with Camilla Björk and Dieck leaving the house at the very same time.
It was also the first time in Big Brother history that a replacement housemate made it to the final day (again Christoffer Jensen, who achieved the 2nd runner up position) and most prominently, that Angelica became the first woman worldwide to win the show.
Being responsible for the very first reality tv show Expedition Robinson, Sweden embraced its first local Big Brother season and the show was a huge rating hit.

After being off-air for more than a year, "Big Brother Sverige" returned with a spin-off called "Big Brother Stjärnveckan (Week of the Stars)" on January 20 2002 lasting for six days only and is therefor the shortest version of any Big Brother series worldwide. Seven former swedish contestants from several reality shows lived together in the house with daily evictions. The show was aired in the week before the start of the actual second season of "Big Brother Sverige" and was supposed to create excitement between the viewers.
The contestants that enters the house were Anki Lundberg from "The Bar 3", Johan "Godzilla" Lennström and Anneli from "Villa Medusa", Elizabeth "Lelle" Anderzén from "Expedition Robinson 1998", Henric Olsson from "The Bar 2", Robert "Robban" Andersson from "Expedition Robinson 1999" and Karin Stor from the first "Big Brother Sverige" season. However, being the only person that already experienced to be on the house did not work in Karins favor as she was the first person to be evicted.
After a week, Anki Lundberg won the show on the day of the start of the second season.
The format with former reality contestants competing in a spin-off version of the show was used again in Denmark called "Big Brother Reality Show Allstars" and in a slightly different version in Belgium and the USA called "Big Brother Allstars" in both cases where only former BB contestants participated again.

Season two of "Big Brother Sverige" started on January 26 2002, exactly on the day of "Stjärnveckan's" final lasting for 108 days until May 13 of the same year. To follow the footsteps of season one, the cast of the sophomore season included even more exotic and mostly very attractive contestants which saw more sexual interactions than any other Big Brother season of that time with once again a threeway relationship, this time between Dominique Pons and both Emma-Maria Carlsson and punk Kitty Jutbring. But when Emma-Maria voluntary left the house and Dominique was evicted in one of the earlier rounds the focus turned on other showmances such as between Elin Nilsson and Jacob Heidrich or Benjamin Sorani and Marie "Picasso" Pettersson.
Marie was earlier voted to become the replacement for Emma-Marie between three different girls that entered the house together and Benjamin has been orginally evicted on Day 62 but was allowed a return a week later after a number of viewers were unable to vote in what has been a close vote between him and fellow-nominee Jacob. However when Big Brother offered the housemate that would walk 50,000 kronors Benjamin left the house voluntary only two weeks after his comeback.
For the third time in a row, the swedish audience chose a female to win their Big Brother season - this time it was Ulrica Andersson from Karlstad but the most famous housemate resulting from that season was undoubtly Marie Picasso, who tried to break into music business with recording two singles and becoming the host of a call-in show without any significant success. In 2007 she auditioned for Swedens local version of Pop Idol called Idol 2007 which she actually won resulting in a no. 1 single called "This Moment".
