The code to the left of this text should be copied and pasted to an article where it is needed. This template is designed for seasons of Big Brother that have ended. For current seasons, please use {{Big Brother housemates}}.
What is written after each "=" affects what is displayed on an article when it is viewed.

The name of the Big Brother series should be typed here and linked to the relevant article, i.e. [[Big Brother (Australia)|Big Brother Australia]].

housemates
If the particular series refers to the contestants in the House as something other than housemates, the term can be specified here.

This is where a housemate's name should be written. Names are not automatically linked to anything, so these need to be created manually.

The current status of a housemate goes here.
winner - Winner
evic - Evicted
walk - Voluntary Exit from the House before the season ended
eject - Involuntary left the House before the season ended, most likely due to being removed by Big Brother.
