Big Brother 3

Big Brother 3 was the third series of the reality television show Big Brother that aired on 8 June 2001 and ran for eighty-seven days until 4 September 2001. This series has double the number of housemates, as well as double the total number of days spent in the house. 'Big Brother' features a number of contestants live in an isolated house trying to avoid being evicted by votes from the public with the aim of winning a large cash prize at the end of the run. The contestants, known as 'Housemates', were evicted from the house once a week until four or more remained for the final week; the housemate with the most votes from the public would win $250,000.

Entered on Day 1
Sixteen housemates entered the house on Day 1. However, they did not gain full housemate status until Day 3. The non-housemayes had to earn their housemates status by completing various tasks. Anyone who did not gain housemate status by Day 3 would face the public vote.
