I Was Not Prepared at All
Today we’re going back to December， 1999， and the birth of a global television phenomenon.
I’ve been speaking to the young Dutchman who won the very first Big Brother contest. The show has been a huge hit. Everyone is delighted. Bart has just won more than $130，000 in prize money， and is an overnight star.
The show had seemed like a crazy idea. Take a group of complete strangers， lock them away in a purpose-built house cut off from the outside world， and then film how they interact. The winner would be the one who survived 1）periodic 2）evictions， nominated by the other contestants， and voted on by the audience. Bart had just come out of the army when he applied to take part.
Bart （Winner）： The show was gonna to last a hundred days， which was about the same time length as…as the mission that I…I did in Bosnia， which was desperately boring， so I thought I could cope with that， handle that.
The basic rules he and the other successful applicants were told were simple. No bullying， no violence， interact with each other， and always keep your microphone switched on. In the end， it was probably Bart’s night of passion that won him the contest. It certainly helped boost the program’s TV ratings， and meant that 3）Endomal could sell the Big Brother franchise around the globe. But winning was to prove a mixed blessing for the 22-year-old.
Bart： I was not prepared at all to be followed and 4）stalked， and by thousands and thousands of people. I just couldn’t walk into a street anymore. People would just run out of their houses with their cameras， and surround me and mob me and not let me go again.
Q： You must have quite liked it a little bit though， Bart.
Bart： There are moments that you are in different situations that make things actually more bearable， but I always felt like an odd one out. I have no tricks that I can do that would， in another society， make me famous. I always felt like the 5）oddball. Like， I have done nothing to deserve this kind of attention， and that’s always been 6）nagging me.
7）Hounded by the press and the public， Bart had several nervous breakdowns. His winnings soon ran out. Bart once told a newspaper that Big Brother had ruined his life. Does he still say that？ Bart： I was at a mental low. It was not a…not a physical low and not a financial low， but I was definitely at a mental low. I was 8）arrogant， I had no regard for other people’s feelings， just my own. I didn’t really know how to cope with all the other people. I didn’t like it， on one hand， and on the other hand， there was a lot of money to be made that I felt kind of guilty about taking， so I was kind of unstable， because then there were peaks and then there were lows. And I suppose now I’m quite a stable person， I suppose. Yeah. Actually have regards for other people and…and for their feelings and try to make the best out of every situation， not just for myself， but for other people as well.
Bart has done a variety of jobs over the past few years. In his spare time， he says he likes to read or take long walks in the countryside. Big Brother， the program that he helped to launch， is now shown in more than 40 countries around the world.
1999年12月，有一个电视节目风靡全球。今天，我们来回顾一下它的诞生历程。
我最近采访了在第一季《老大哥》节目中获胜的荷兰年轻人。当时这个节目很成功，每个人都兴高采烈，巴尔特赢得了超过13万美元的奖金，一夜成名。
这个节目的设想在当时似乎是一个荒唐的主意。将一群素不相识的人关在一间特别设计的屋子里，与外界隔绝，然后对他们相互交流的情况进行拍摄。节目会定期将参赛者淘汰出局，被淘汰者通过参赛者内部提名和观众投票产生，最终留下来的人获胜。在报名参加这个节目的时候，巴尔特刚刚从军队退役。
巴尔特（获胜者）：这个节目当时计划持续一百天，这与……与我在部队时在波斯尼亚执行任务的时间长度差不多，那次任务极其无聊，所以我想这个节目自己可以应付，能处理好。
他和其他报名成功的参赛者被告知，节目的基本规则很简单：就是不欺侮人、不使用暴力、彼此互动交流，并始终让麦克风保持开启状态。最终，或许是巴尔特在夜间表现出的热情让他获胜。这无疑有助于提高节目的收视率，亦意味着恩德莫娱乐公司有机会向全球出售《老大哥》的特许经营权。但对这位时年22岁的年轻人来说，获胜的结果却是一把双刃剑。
巴尔特：对于会被成千上万的追星族尾随跟踪，我毫无思想准备。我再也无法正常在大街上走，人们会拿着相机从家里冲出来，把我团团围住，不让我走。
问：但巴尔特，你肯定曾经有一点喜欢这种状态的吧？
巴尔特：当你身处不同景况时，其实有些时候的确会觉得事情可以忍受，但我总觉得自己格格不入。除了这个节目，我没有任何技能使自己在社会上成为名人。我总是觉得自己像是个怪人，我根本没有做什么事，不应该得到如此强烈的关注。这点一直困扰着我。
在媒体及公众的追逐下，巴尔特曾几次精神崩溃。他的奖金也很快用完了。巴尔特曾经对一家报纸说，《老大哥》毁了他的生活。他现在还这么说吗？
巴尔特：我那时情绪很低落。那不是……不是身体不适，也不是经济困难，但我确实心情非常糟糕。我很傲慢，不顾他人的感受，很自私。我真的不知道该怎样和别人相处。一方面，我不喜欢这种状态；另一方面，我面前有许多挣钱的机会，让我有种负罪感，所以我的情绪起伏不定，有时很高涨，有时又跌到低谷。我觉得现在我比较稳定了，我确实觉得如此。如今我会尊重他人，关心他们的感受，尽量在任何情况下都将事情做好，不只是为我自己，也为其他人。
在过去几年里，巴尔特做过多种工作。他说，在空闲时间他喜欢看书或者去郊区远足。而他曾助一臂之力创办的节目《老大哥》，如今已在全球超过40个国家播出。

《老大哥》真人秀 Big Brother
《老大哥》是社会实验类的游戏真人秀。一群陌生人以“房客”的身份住进一间布满了摄像机及麦克风的屋子。一周7天，一天24小时，他们的一举一动都被记录下来，经剪辑处理之后在电视上播出。选手们在比赛时间内将通过提名、竞赛、投票等步骤被淘汰。最终留下来的人将赢得大奖 。《老大哥》在1999年在荷兰Veronica电视台播出了第一季，获胜者即本文介绍的Bart Spring in’t Veld。随后《老大哥》迅速成为风靡全球的电视真人秀节目，在数十个国家和地区播出几十种不同版本。
