Season Seven of Big Brother Germany lasted for 148 days from 5 February 2007 to 7 July 2007 and was shown on RTL Zwei.
After a disappointing sixth season, which was supposed to run forever but was cut short and a year break the producers decided to return with a "Back to the roots"-format for season seven with 12 housemates living together in one house and the only twist being that the housemates had to earn the prize.
For every match, a certain amount of money was put in the jackpot with the maximum being €250,000 which only the winner would receive.
After being evicted by his fellow housemates Eddy returned as a guest in the final week and provoked some of the most controversial moments of the season (with his targets being Kathrin and Michael).
These moments probably helped Michael to win the show, as he was considered a victim of Eddy's provocations.
