Big Brother (Sweden) - Big Brother 2

Big Brother 2

Season two of Big Brother Sverige started on January 26, 2002, exactly on the day of Stjärnveckan's final lasting for 108 days until May 13 of the same year. To follow the footsteps of season one, the cast of the sophomore season included even more exotic and mostly very attractive contestants which saw more sexual interactions than any other Big Brother season of that time with once again a threeway relationship, this time between Dominique Pons and both Emma-Maria Carlsson and punk Kitty Jutbring. 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.
Marie was earlier voted to become the replacement for Emma-Marie between three different girls that entered the house together and Benjamin has been originally evicted on Day 62 but was allowed a return a week later after a number of viewers were unable to vote in what has been a close vote between him and fellow-nominee Jacob. However when Big Brother offered the housemate that would walk 50,000 kronors 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 undoubtly 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. In 2007 she auditioned for Swedens local version of Pop Idol called Idol 2007 which she actually won resulting in a no. 1 single called This Moment.
