Correct. 25 August to 8 September 2002.

It was just the latest in a long line of throwaway Celeb reality shows at that point, which then became one of the biggest shows on TV

In those early days it was meant to be more argumentative and more like Big Brother with swearing unbleeped and more confrontation. These days it’s more family friendly and parts of it more heavilly weighted towards Crystal Maze style challenges in the jungle than Big Brother arguments, although I do like the way they’ve included lots more creek chats this year.
