Look, I don't hate the idea of eviction results being self-contained to within the house, so long as the show itself is produced well and production is top notch I'm interested in something different.I'm not sure about this survivor twist. Is it going to be like US big brother? Or something slightly different?
I hope they do have live feeds otherwise we're just going to get episode after episode of game play and less knowing the people on the show.
In saying this, I find it difficult to think of many reality shows in Australia nowadays where the winner is entirely chosen by the public anymore. I don't think there's many, if any at all?
I think the advantage of BB also stripping the public vote and HM's being able to eliminate contestants is it almost completely rids the opportunity for producers to have any influence over who leaves (and ultimately wins). This manipulation was something that became very evident in the later seasons, but also in almost every other reality TV show where judges (aka, producers) have an influence over eliminations. Of-course they'll still edit HM's how they like, but by the HM's having control of evictions within the boundaries of the house, ala Survivor, it's at least likely that some reality to the natural gameplay will be maintained.
