Big Brother (Belgian TV series) season 3

Big Brother (Belgian TV series) season 3 was the third season of the Belgian reality television program Big Brother. It aired in 2001 on Kanaal 2 (later known as 2BE and now Play4). Like previous and subsequent seasons, it involved a group of contestants, known as housemates, living together in a purpose-built house, isolated from the outside world. The public voted periodically to evict housemates, and the last remaining housemate was declared the winner and received a cash prize.

Season 3 differed from the first two seasons in several key aspects. The most significant change was the division of the house into two distinct areas: a luxurious "luxery" area and a basic, less comfortable "basic" area. Housemates had to compete in challenges to earn access to the "luxery" area, adding a new layer of strategic gameplay. This division impacted social dynamics and alliances significantly.

The season ran for approximately 100 days, following the general format of the Big Brother franchise. The house was equipped with cameras and microphones to record the housemates' activities 24/7, which were then edited and broadcast to the public.

The winner of Big Brother (Belgian TV series) season 3 was Ellen Dufour. The season was noted for its increased focus on strategic gameplay and the impact of the "luxery" and "basic" house divisions on the contestants' relationships.
