Significant changes were that the producers dared to air the nominations and eviction shows on RTL and gave it the prime slot at 8.15 pm Saturday evening.
Oliver Geissen and Aleks Bechtel replaced the less known Percy Hoven and Sophie Rosentreter as hosts of the show and an additional format called Family and Friends was introduced being aired one day after the last nomination–eviction on Sunday afternoon.
The most controversial character of the season was undoubtedly Christian Möllmann, who went on to become the most hated housemate after the launch show thanks to his chauvinist behaviour on his entry and in his audition tape.
He became a co-host of Big Brother Germany's season 5 and 6 and was the main host of an Endemol-franchised BB clone named Der Container Exklusive which was aired on pay TV only.
Next to Kurras and Möllman, runner-up Harry Schmidt and Walter Unterweger recorded singles and played roles on German TV series.
