People complain that Sonia talks to the Audience like we are children but if you notice at the Live Shows most of the audience is made up of children.
Fair comment.

Not really, live audience is not necessarily the same demographic as a tv audience. The crowd is actually there to add atmosphere for the TV audience. Live is certainly not how they make money, but the fact they can charge people to do a job for them (ie. play the part of the "excited fan") is a win win for them.
I meant Sonia obviously can see the audience and the amount of children in it affects how she speaks during the live shows.
I know what the point of a live audience is. I never said a live audience is how they make their money but I'm sure it adds a little bit of profit. Anyone who has been to a live show would you be able to tell me how much a ticket costs you?
Not sure what you mean when you say "but the fact they can charge people to do a job for them (ie. play the part of the "excited fan") is a win win for them." Do you mean in general for other live audience TV shows? and not just BB. If not do you have some inside information about channel Nine hiring people to pretend to be fans of the show.

I don't necessarily agree that Sonia speaks to the audience/ home viewers like children (at least not ALWAYS). If it comes across that way, well they haven't at all hid the fact that the resurrection on Nine was going to be aimed at families. So it's a win win in the fact that adults will watch the show regardless of how Sonia speaks and pay more attention to the HMs and the children feel like the host is including them.
Let's not make this thread about whether the show should or should not be aimed at children/families (there are plenty of other threads about that). The fact is they have made a family friendly format, so a bit of over excited child-friendly presentation from Sonia doesn't bother me. She drops plenty of innuendos and adult -oriented jokes that would go over the kids heads. Kinda like the Shrek series.
Great post. Yes people do complain that Sonia talk to the audience like they are children, I like Sonia so to get the thread back on track I'll say it one more time. I LIKE SONIA. No I personally do not want her replaced as host.
Sonia is ok, but they should fire whoever writes her jokes and puns.
She tells some serious "dad jokes"
Gretel (whom I also love) was notorious for the puns and bad jokes. Although I think she came up with them herself. Haha
I prefer Gretel. Her name is fun to say. Gretel. Gretel. Gretel. Gretel. Gretel.
Now it sounds weird.
And that sums up the biggest problem with the show.People complain that Sonia talks to the Audience like we are children but if you notice at the Live Shows most of the audience is made up of children.

I agree. Why would 10 year olds be interested in adult convos? Why would parents even want them watching shows like Big Brother? It's pretty much a mature audience aimed show, despite being PG. I mean, the contestants have to be 18 and up. 10 year olds just won't relate really.Yeah I agree, I don't think children under 10 should be watching but that is just my personal opinion.
