With the demise of World of Big Brother keeping track of all that is going on in the world of Big Brother isn't quite as easy as it once was, so just thought I'd add a general chat just to keep an eye on what is happening. If you intend to report on any series in more detail then please start a new thread, but we'll stick this one here just to keep an overall eye on things.
Big Brother Wiki does a fairly decent job of keeping track of what's airing when and who wins each series. The series is still going strong internationally although earlier this year there was a short period where for the first time since I think 2003 nobody in the world was living in a Big Brother house - although BB Aus was airing, but not live.
For me the prompt was seeing the German relay team in the Olympics today which got me thinking "Promi Big Brother must be due to start soon" - and indeed it starts tonight. As usual it is split into two houses, though doesn't seem so much of a rich/poor divide this year with one being the "Space Station" and the other being the "Big Planet". Pics here
For those not familar BB Germany now focuses on celebrity series which now run for 3 weeks (used to be 2). Over the first half of the season there are duels or matches where individuals or teams compete to swap houses or win rewards for their team, with evictions in the second half of the season. This will be the 9th celebrity edition.
Series are also airing in Israel and Nigeria at the moment, and interestingly having been interupted earlier this year due to the pandemic Bigg Boss Kannada, one of the Indian versions, has restarted their series after a break of six weeks of so.
To the best of my knowledge thankfully no other country has taken the Australian approach and started pre-recording their series.
