Seems in the end there was some truth in this but ultimately Ten ruled it out due to the costs.

Interesting... That said shows like Survivor and IACGMOOH I imagine would share similar costs if not slightly more than BB... Both shows are shot overseas and that can’t be cheap...
I mean this doesn’t sound like it’s that BB is too expensive for them it’s likely just money being spread over several shows instead of putting all thier hopes in to one basket...
