Big Brother 2002, also known as Big Brother 2, was the second season of the Australian reality television series Big Brother. The season started on 8 April 2002, and ended on 1 July 2002, lasting 86 days. Big Brother 2002 was similar to the first season Big Brother 2001, and was the only one to use the same house from a previous season, albeit with some small modifications. Simultaneous with the main house was a house of six potential Intruders. A number of television specials allowed viewers to get to know the intruders and viewers were able to vote which three eventually went into the house.
A close relationship formed between Nathan Martin and Jess Hardy (Marty and Jess) who later got married after leaving the show.[1] Their wedding plans and the ceremony were showcased in television special Marty & Jess: An Outback Wedding. The couple divorced in 2006.[1] The Australian rock band Killing Heidi entered the house for a special surprise birthday party for Jess. During an Eviction, a 25-year-old male ran naked onto the stage and was subsequently fined $100 in court.[2] The reserved Peter Corbett won the $250,000 first prize, with Marty coming second.[2][3]
