Like the third season, the Dutch Season 4 was broadcast by Yorin as well. It lasted from 28 August till 23 December 2002 (118 days). Presenter was Martijn Krabbé (son of Jeroen Krabbé), aided by psychologist Dr. Steven Pont. This season the house was again divided in a rich area (the Bungalow) and a poor area (the Bunker). Unlike Season 3, allotment to either side depended on individual tasks, confrontations and dilemmas. As before, some of the housemates were kept in seclusion for a while, this time around in Portugal. All participants were relatively young, and selected upon their single status. As planned, this led to several relationships from which the one between Arthur and Ursula endured for the longest time. Stefan, working in the porn-business, didn't manage to choose between former Jehovah witness Daniela, Geesje and Margriet. This wasn't very much appreciated by the girls. Dutch Moroccan Mustapha put his stamp on the program by insisting to upheld the Ramadan. In spite of that, ‘Mushi’ was involved in various rude arguments with the emancipated Margriet and Fortuynist Arthur. Meanwhile Judith, Marc, and Wouter provided an ethereal component with their interest for the paranormal and for neurolinguistic thinking. In the end the outsider Jeanette became the unlikely winner. Ratings for the season were low and while Big brother was still a hit in many countries around the world at the end of this season Big brother was cancelled in the Netherlands
