The Sweden and Norway joint edition of Big Brother is a reality show shown on Kanal 5 in Sweden, and FEM in Norway, in which a number of contestants live in an isolated house trying to avoid being evicted by the public with the aim of winning a large cash prize at the end of the run.

From 2000 on, seasons of Big Brother were shown in both Norway and Sweden and in both countries the show enjoyed very high ratings, so high that eventually the production teams of both began thinking about joining to make one Big Brother show for both countries.

The 2005 season was a co-production with Big Brother Norway, in which nine Swedes and nine Norwegians were put together in the house.

Famous faces from that year was Swede Elita Löfblad who went on to get a successful modeling career, and Aylar Lie who was a guest star on the show.

The rules to the last part of the twist was soon changed as on day 30 Daniel O, Max, and Per had yet to leave the room, a competition was held to determine who would return to the house.
