Big Brother (Slovakian TV series)

''Big Brother: Súboj'' (lit. ''Big Brother: Duel'') is a Slovak version of the reality television franchise ''Big Brother''. It aired for only one season from 18 September 2005 to 18 December 2005 on Markíza. In June 2023, Czech TV Nova, video on demand service Voyo and Markíza announced the preparation of a Czech-Slovak version of the program.

The Slovak version is based on the original Dutch ''Big Brother'' series produced by Endemol, where a number of contestants live in an isolated house for a certain period of time. At all times, housemates are under the control of Big Brother, a rule-enforcing authority figure who monitors the behavior of the housemates, sets tasks and punishments, and provides the only link to the outside world for the contestants. The premiere saw thirteen housemates originally enter the house, with four additional people entering at various points during the show.

Milan had to leave the House after falling seriously ill within 24 hours of arrival.

* Housemates are split into two teams - the red team and the blue team. Each Week Housemates have to each Nominate two members (of their own team) and the one or more Housemate(s) from each team with the most Nominations faces the Public Vote to save. Teams were changed throughout the competition, but mostly stayed the same.
* The Public were allowed to choose Marian's replacement this Week. They voted, and Koketa won the vote with 58.1%; 52-year-old Vladimír Bizoň lost out on the vote. As Koketa was a new Housemate he was not eligible for Nominations this Week.
* This Week, as there were only 3 surviving members of the red team, Nominations were completely open and Housemates could Nominate from either team.

On Day 48 Koketa was Ejected from the House for aggressive and obscene behaviour, and although he had previously been Nominated, the Eviction would still take place between the three other Nominees.
