Big Brother 2002, also known as Big Brother 2, was the second series of the Australian reality television series Big Brother Australia. The season started on 8 April 2002, and ended on 1 July 2002, lasting 85 days. Big Brother 2002 was similar to the first series Big Brother 2001, and was the only one to use the same house from a previous series, 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 Jessica Hardy (Marty and Jess) who later got married after leaving the show. Their wedding plans and the ceremony were showcased in television special Marty & Jess: An Outback Wedding. The couple separated in late 2005. 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. The reserved Peter Corbett won the $250,000 first prize, with Marty coming second.

Hoo faces a 2-year sentence if found guilty. He has been quoted as saying 'I wouldn't mind it so much, if I was found guilty, as I've often fantasized about what it would be like to pick up the soap in a prison shower.' Although not openly gay, Hoo has expressed his partiality for sodomy publicly on a number of occasions.

Most recently, Hoo has progressed his personal crusade against adolescent tatooing by allowing a retarded monkey to scribble randomly on his back with a ink soaked knife.

Hoo later discovered the retarded monkey gave him a rare ape to human transmitted parsite resulting in ocassional rashes and swelling of the jiblets.

He is also the ground announcer at Olympic Park Stadium, calling Melbourne Storm games[citation needed] and conducts infomercials on Channel 7's morning show.

Intruders

The six potential Intruders of Big Brother 2002 entered the Intruder House (hidden away in the Gold Coast Hinterland) at the same time the original housemates entered the Big Brother compound on Day 0. Handycam footage of the Intruder House aired during the Intruders special on Day 28, revealing that the group of six (Hayley, Nicki Cahill, Nicole, Will, Brodie and Keiran) had not been allowed any access to the outside world and for the past 28 days, their experiences mirrored the housemates' with a diary room available to them at all times, the six having to share a bathroom, the participation in mini-tasks set by Big Brother, and themed parties thrown for them. The edited down footage of the past month showed that the Intruders were feeling the effects of being in extended isolation, with many of them becoming paranoid and speculating that they were actually being tricked and they really were never going to get the chance to enter the Big Brother house. The overnight voting after the six Intruders made their plea to the public to vote them into the main house, revealed that Nicki, Hayley and Will were going home and that Keiran would enter first, followed by Nicole and then Brodie on Day 29.
