Episode Day 0: 2025 launch day taping spoilers and speculation

[Rison]

Wonder if they'll try to rush through getting them all in, just in case this is just a temporary break in the weather.

Hey all,

Welcome back… again!

So fun thing happened, I now live a few hundred metres away from Dreamworld.

I was planning on putting my drone up but this storm is quite big and it’s still pouring rain.

The live stage should have been done from the under cover area at Whitewater World, I’m still perplexed as to why they didn’t use that space. It’s bigger and under cover. Anyway.

But the show must go on…

Tbh it's there own fault, it's Queensland in the summer and an outdoor stage. This is what they deserve for doing it cheap

It’s big in sqm however the height clearance on the Shell is not very television friendly

 

[timmy]

I feel for Mel, what a baptism of fire, or at least surplus water in this case.

Omfg. I was joking about someone doing this earlier.

Fuck this weather then.

 

[Hooden]

Where’s Bethany when we need her

Throwback to the simpler times of the 2012 launch - the only interruption being the pyrotechnic that lit the auditorium roof on fire for 30 mins

That would have been a sight to see, but safety first!

Barring some genuine natural disaster, this all should be easy enough to fix in the edit.

I don't even think that they should fix it. TV doesn't have to be sanitised. Keep it in, make it part of the narrative, deliver on the "unscripted, unfiltered, unmissable" tagline.

Oh they’re definitely spinning this to show just how live it really is, not a bad call tbh. Take lemons and turn them into hard solo.

Wonder if they bothered going through the slow process of making everyone lock their phones away again, or if we might get some sneaky updates once filming resumes now...

It's hit the media. Cue the casual viewers' backlash over it not being live...

Yeah hopefully by now they simply don’t care.

Is he lurking here or over on mediaspy? You’re not slick, Robert McKnight

 

[Rison]

Problems first arose Saturday afternoon when a surprisingly small number of fans turned up to watch the housemates enter. As the downpour intensified, that crowd dwindled even further, with ponchos doing little to persuade fans to remain.

So they didn't have as many turn up as they expected to begin with, and people left even before the pause?! Yikes.

True. His wording in that article is very overly dramatic and unfairly sensationalized.
