The Bar was a popular Swedish reality television program, that was first seen in Sweden in 2000 and in other countries from 2001. For around two months, a number of contestants work in a bar and try to avoid periodic publicly-voted evictions from a communal house and hence win a cash prize. The show was devised by the Swedish company Strix

Format
Each week the housemates vote in the "Plus/Minus night", when they choose the best and the worst person. The person who receives the most minuses, is the first nominated for eviction. The person who receives the most pluses chooses the second nominee, and then the public is invited to vote to have a housemate of their choice evicted from the bar
