[1][citation needed] The show was brought to an end when TV4 cancelled Big Brother Sverige on Christmas Eve in 2021, after 9 seasons and 913 episodes, due to low ratings.
Angelica Freij was initially offended by the close relationship between lesbian Anna Bäckelin and bisexual Paula Glantz.
The Big Brother franchise saw its first double eviction with Camilla Björk and George Dieck leaving the house at the very same time.
It was also the first time in Big Brother history that a replacement housemate made it to the final day (Christoffer Jensen, who achieved third place) and most prominently, that Freij became the first woman worldwide to win the show.
The show was aired in the week before the start of the actual second season of Big Brother Sverige and was supposed to create excitement among the viewers.
The contestants that entered the house were Anki Lundberg from The Bar 3, Johan "Godzilla" Lennström and Anneli from Villa Medusa, Elizabeth "Lelle" Anderzén from Expedition Robinson 1998, Henric Olsson from The Bar 2, Robert "Robban" Andersson from Expedition Robinson 1999 and Karin Stor from the first Big Brother Sverige season.
But when Emma-Maria voluntary left the house and Dominique was evicted in one of the earlier rounds the focus turned on other showmances such as between Elin Nilsson and Jacob Heidrich or Benjamin Sorani and Marie "Picasso" Pettersson.
However, when Big Brother offered the housemate that would walk 50,000 kronor Benjamin left the house voluntary only two weeks after his comeback.
For the third time in a row, the Swedish audience chose a female to win their Big Brother season - this time it was Ulrica Andersson from Karlstad but the most famous housemate resulting from that season was undoubtedly Marie Picasso, who tried to break into music business with recording two singles and becoming the host of a call-in show without any significant success.
