HaAh HaGadol VIP

HaAh HaGadol VIP
Season 1 (2009)

HaAh HaGadol VIP (Hebrew: האח הגדול VIP‎; lit. The Big Brother VIP) started on March 1, 2009 and ended on March 31, 2009. The VIP season was the second season of the Israeli version of the Big Brother series and the first season of the VIP series. The show follows the main Big Brother rules, but with some changes. For example, in VIP Big Brother the show's duration is shorter - a month (31 Days - like in most of the countries it is aired in). Thirteen celebrity housemates spent a period of five weeks together in the Big Brother House. Housemates include singers, models, a fashion designer, a journalist and other well-known Israeli personalities.

The housemates were not told who the other people who were entering the house would be, but were aware of the predictions that were made in the media, particularly that of Guy Pines which accurately predicted the majority of the housemates.

Notes:
^1 Throughout the first week Amir had to judge the housemates during the tasks and pick three housemates to be nominated for eviction. He had to choose the most antisocial (Yossi), the least talented (Dudi) and the most egotistical (Maya). The two most popular housemates nominated for eviction were Dudi and Menachem.
^2 The Housemates were told that all 8 Housemates who stay in the house would be in the final, but they didn't know that 2 days before the final three of them would be evicted from the house and just 5 Housemates would participate in the final. The voting for the final started a week before the final. At the beginning of the last eviction program the Housemates were told that 3 of them would be evicted at the end of the program and they were asked to pack their suitcases. After the last eviction the voting didn't stop, just 3 lines were closed (for those who were evicted) and the voting for the other housemates continued.
^3 There were no nominations in the final week and the public were voting for housemates to win, rather than be evicted. the housemate with the most SMS votes was the winner.
