BBAU 2025: Casting open, return to Dreamworld Confirmed

[Factoriseme]

*cough* Gen X aren't dead yet!

But we’re pretty much the front line for it these days

 

[Brekkie]

We're getting to the stage when in reality TV terms Gen Z will be past it soon too.

I applied for and was on an obscure show a few years ago.

Not from the farm. But alas from the suburbs. Had a full life it guess..
Proudly in my kidless 40s, wildly left-wing, powered by IBS, spite, and oat milk. I flirt like I protest—loudly, passionately, and with snacks in my bag. I’ve named my plants after Marxist theorists. Met the King when he was still a prince (he nodded, I nodded—a bit like buckneak in Harry Potter took it as consent for a photo), broke my nose playing pool (trying to look cool, nailed the floor instead), so these days it’s a bit crooked and once got chased by a bear in Yosemite because apparently I give off “easy snack” energy (#carrying a few extra kgs)

They'd definitely be watching out for ChatGPT use and probably immediately ignore any applications that have used it.

Sorry if you didnt use it here but its raising alarms for me haha

Do you think they'll incorporate any other shows like they did for 03 with The Insider in 03, or 08 with Big Mouth, etc.? I mean this series might be tight for something like that. But then again, maybe they'll try and capture as many viewers as possible?

These panel shows were great at the time but they always got the wrong people to host them. I’d love if they got the housemates live on the BB TikTok page after their eviction

Does anyone over 30 use Tiktok though? Miss half their audience.

I mean I'd watch a half hour show with Gretel doing a quick recap of the week. Like, it'll never happen, but would be nice to see her involved with BB

If the eviction shows have the previous Ten format, where they did individual "here's the week that the nominees had" segments before the eviction, it'll serve as somewhat of a catchup/recap.

Back in the day when I was a teenager at home, Mum and Dad would only watch the eviction and nomination shows because of those recap segments. They felt it gave them all they needed to be vaguely aware of what was going on without watching the, as they called it, watching paint dry Daily Shows.

If they are replacing Mike it should be with Leon Murray.

Please no.
I have had enough of Leon Murray.

 

[BBman]

Nick will be a godsend. Hope to god it's him. He is the VOICE for me.

Absolutely agree
When I think of big brother it's him. Enough with Leon Murray. Doesn't sound right

Leon Murray: Little Brother

Damn this is great

Damn this is great

I mean, really, no-one knew about the show back then. When they beat S2's applications that will be more meaningful (however many that was).

Why stop with one streaming platform? They could multi-stream to YouTube, Facebook and TikTok, for instance.

The only companion show I think it’s absolutely necessary is Uncut. If they truly are going for the same broad appeal the original series had having a platform to show a side of the house that can’t be shown in a PG timeslot is crucial. It also takes in to account that the core audience BB had in the original run has matured and that we’re the ones still watching the show. That’s very obviously who they’re trying to pull in for this new era.

You’d be surprised. TikTok is probably my most used social media platform. lol just ask @Zcsund1234

I was having a bit of a dig there, but it is clearly aimed at and most popular with teens and 20-somethings

And I’m just saying I think you’d be shocked… They might have might started with a younger demographic but these days there is a wide range of people who regularly use the platform.

Yeah, seems it has changed. AI agrees "While TikTok is often associated with teenagers, the 18-24 and 25-34 age brackets consistently represent the largest segments of users. It's also worth noting that the platform is seeing growth among older demographics as well."

I have enough social media, don't need another app. Meta has ruined Instagram with all the shit it puts in your feed. I just want to follow the accounts I follow but they make it so hard. Anyway it's OT for this thread lol. Suffice to say BBAU will spread their content across various platforms.
