Big Brother Australia 2002

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.

Turkan Aksoy is a Turkish-born Nurse from New South Wales. She lasted 7 weeks in the Bigbrother house and wanted to leave the house prior to eviction. She moved on to write for the Sunday Telegraph for their Body and Soul Magazine and now is a Community Development Officer in a local Council.

She has written a children's book on the subject of the attachment phase called "I Feel Loved, I Feel Happy" which has been translated into Arabic, Chinese/Persian, English and Vietnamese.
