Big Brother 2025 is the fifth cooperation season of the Dutch and Belgian version of Big Brother. It is the eleventh regular version of Big Brother in both Belgium and the Netherlands. The show is broadcast on RTL5 in the Netherlands and Play4 in Belgium beginning on 15 January 2024. Live streams are available 24/7 on Videoland for Dutch viewers and on GoPlay.be and Telenet for Belgian viewers.
In the summer of 2024, when calling for candidates, the program makers announced that the new season would be completely different from previous seasons. At the unveiling of the house in early January 2025, this was confirmed. The house received a complete makeover and was barely furnished. There was also only 1 bed in the only large bedroom. There were several new rooms such as the Panic Room.
Production
Format
Big Brother 2025 followed the same format as the previous seasons. Housemates lived isolated from the outside world in a custom-built house for a period of 100 days, hoping to be the last one to leave the house as the winner, and walk away with its cash prize.
Concept
Programmers announced in advance that this season everything would be different. At launch, it was announced that basic comforts would no longer be a certainty. The first photos of the house showed a stripped house with a barely furnished house, an enclosed kitchen, locked closets and an outdoor shower. There were also new rooms such as the Decision Room and the Panic Room. In "The Vault," housemates could buy gamechangers to bend the game to their will. In the Decision Room, housemates could make important choices. In the 'Panic Room,' housemates were challenged in different ways. There was also a Big Brother suite - a luxurious room to which only the residents who had access were allowed to go.
Not only did the house look different, the game play was also different. For example, each resident could create their own prize pool, from which only the winner would receive their effective cash prize. The nomination target pin was introduced.
Housemates
On January 3, the first ten housemates were announced. Blockman's Lennie was the first transgender candidate in this Dutch and Flemish Big Brother series.

Weekly summary
The main events in the Big Brother house are summarised in the table below.
| Week 1 |
|---|
| On Day 1, the 10 first housemates entered the house. These were Elsa, Fleur, Jeffrey, Jordy, Keanu, Lennie, Linda, Matthew, Milena and Niels. The housemates were given the chance to press a button for an exemption and a personal benefit, or not to press at all and already make a lot of money together. The group unanimously chose not to press. This earned them 100 euros each. In the next assignment, the residents had another chance to print. This time there were eight prizes at stake, from 1,000 euros over a golden key to a can of ravioli. Again, no one pressed. Once again 100 euros per person was handed out. On the last round, the housemates were obliged to press, but with a twist: the fastest and the slowest would be penalized. Jordy pressed first, Keanu last - and both received a nomination target pin. This week, only they could be nominated. The rest of the group was allowed to choose a prize and enter the house.
Once inside, the housemates quickly discovered that comfort was far away and the only food was "slob." Elsa, thanks to her choice of mystery box, was able to enter the "Big Brother" suite with the golden key. She chose Linda to accompany her. |
