Episode Day 10 Daily Show - 18/11/2025

Man I love these forums ... the pics and memes you guys post add so much hilarious context to the happenings in the house. I am playing catch up on this thread after not being available to watch the daily show last night and I have LOL'd many times reading the stuff you guys have posted.

Thanks for the laughs! Keep 'em coming! 😆

... a fair portion of viewers only watch what is shown on TV. Since they're not watching the stream, they're (for better or worse) none the wiser about what happened on there which didn't make it into the daily shows.

This is me. I don't watch the live stream so I can miss a lot of the context. The great news is that this forum is filling in those gaps very well. For example @matts bb mentioning above that, "In the episode she (Jane) storms off, then later tells the girls about how Colin reacted. But the show never showed that reaction at all. Yet on the live stream last night, Colin actually reacted in a pretty feral way, so bad that BB muted the stream. It was intense and honestly a bit scary. So Jane was not exaggerating. The footage was there." Not watching the live stream, I didn't see any of that, but at least I now have good context thanks to this, and other, post(s).

Allegations, until proven in a court of law, are just that. Surely Ten would have done their due diligence and Police checked him before hiring him.

It's shitty to assert that an allegation might only be credible if it was pursued legally, because reality is that many victims of violence don't take that path.

In context of the show, legal history is only one piece of the puzzle. Housemates can be removed if their behaviour outside the house or inside the house poses a reputational risk to the show. They are warned several times during the audition process that any deep dark secrets will be exposed.

Whether production knew about these allegations or not prior to him going in, they do now, and any failure to minimise risk increases their own liability. If they continue to protect Colon and he ends up crossing a line, they are - legally speaking - fucked.

That's not a diagnosis. Your comparison of Jane with your relative with dementia, which you say used to be called 'senile agitation', was pathologising of her perfectly normal human frustration in the face of inexplicable rudeness and toddler-like behaviour from adults. I would suggest she is rather tired, at her age, sleeping in a dorm with loud farters, snorers, and the endless prattling about nothing that goes in in there.

Could you go if you had a wheelchair? (Sorry I hope that doesn't sound bad, I'd just really love for you to not miss out on things...)

Unfortunately I’m so sick at this point that I don’t leave my house unless I’m on a stretcher. I haven’t tried a wheelchair but I couldn’t push it myself and the biggest issue I face is trying to get out to the street as I live in a backyard. All these logistical challenges mean that the last time I left my house was July

On the other hand though, I hope (for their sake) that the people posting allegations aren't making things up because some of the comments I've seen come dangerously close to being defamatory and the obvious legal ramification that can result in.

Defamation is not easy to pursue in Australia. The burden sits with Colon to disprove the claims.

Maybe you’re confused with the US?

Defamation cases are extremely common in Australia because the laws are so favourable to plaintiffs.

For me, as the ultimate Big Brother superfan, I'm just chuffed the show has taken on the feedback from fans and stayed far away from the Channel Seven format. This version was based on the US franchise which was super competitive, sacrificing showcasing the personalities of the housemates for strategy chats and gruelling physical challenges.

It was basically Survivor but in a house. No thanks.

The 2025 reboot of Big Brother has taken the best parts of what Ten did so well — the stripped-back episodes narrated by Mike Goldman focus solely on the social side of the house, along with the silly challenges or tasks, like making the week's nominees dress as sad clowns.

It never ceases to blow my mind when self-proclaimed "ultimate super fans" continue to salivate over how good and true to its roots this reboot is. I've had to stop reading BBAU on Reddit because of this. Any super fan knows that this reboot is omitting much of what actually made the original run good and we're being served a pretty washed out and dumbed down iteration of what once was. This is not a good modernised version of OG Big Brother. This sort of feedback will only encourage Ten to produce another similar iteration of what currently is without actually making an effort to make improvements and return to the shows roots with a modern twist.

From my point of view, this reboot is more or less a repackaged 7 format (sans the Survivor element) disguised as OG when it comes to how the show is being edited, intentionally directed and portraying certain housemates, like mulletman. Channel 9 did a better version than Ten are currently airing, and I'll admit that cutting the live feed didn't do 9 any favours, whereas it does bode well for Ten currently. Channel 9 stayed more true to the original.

I also beg to differ that Ten have adopted the "best parts" of what they originally did. If anything, Ten are leaving out the best parts of the original. We are not currently seeing the raw reality of what's happening in the house, unless you're an avid live feed viewer.

I'm not going to go on another rant about how lackluster many parts of this reboot are, but I find it highly misleading that a "superfan" - such as the author of this article - are lauding Ten and ESA for their return to OG, knowing full well that a majority of the audience and their readers seeking Big Brother content were likely too young or were not even born when the glory days of Big Brother was on TV.

I will credit the author for briefly pointing out something that is actually a major issue, albeit briefly, but continuing to blow smoke up Ten's asshole almost renders the article pointless.

Maybe I was expecting to much thinking they could replicate BB 1
back them the HM had no prior knowledge of what it was all about
the few series following they add twist to put the HM off the scent

Not sure year of BB on 10 it was but i recall thinking it had become less a shut people up in a house a watch what happens show and more watch BB make them perform
Maybe I was misled - BB had always directed the HMs

...and see how they react to various tasks/challenges/situations BB puts them in.

Without purposefully attempting to turn this thread into something that has a dedicated post, I do not perceive "Return to OG" as necessarily saying returning to season 1. I took it as returning to the format elements used for the original BB1-BB8 run on Ten.
 
Everything else aside, I will say I think the production of the 2025 live shows sum it up best - this is their biggest failture, and even the Seven era live Finales did a better job at encapsulating the essence of BBAU in this respect. (Yes, I said it.)

There is nothing positive about completely stripping away the live element of what BBAU is/was arguably most well known for. The live Nomination and Eviction shows are TERRIBLE at the moment. Bad audio mixing and the live director isn’t doing a good job at cutting to the right shots at the right time either. It’s lacking energy and mojo. No highlights reels or cleverly edited video packages, voting graphs or nomination reveals nor “time in the house” was a huge, huge failure on the director and creative team’s behalf. I will argue to the end that there is nothing about the current live shows, or Mel, that is giving us the “OG live nominations, live evictions” the advertising ramped up for months. Even Sonia and Nine did a better job with a few minutes with the evictee onstage and half-assed questions.

If nothing else, the live shows need a major overhaul - and we’re only a week or so in.
 
I think the issue I have with the live shows (particuarly the audio) is that they used to feel like a live audience Gretel was performing to that the TV audience was being included on, whereas this series it feels like the reverse. The live segments fall a bit flat as a result.
 
Why do the producers have to have favourites and edit the footage to make their faves the focus and look good? Then also try to sway the eviction vote with the person they want out.

It is unauthentic. Why can't they just show what is happening in the house as it is, with no pre-determined narrative? Just play it as it is and let the viewers decide.

The original seasons from seasons 1 to 7, from what I can remember, didn't have faves and didn't focus on one housemate. The Channel Nine era was very guilty of this of pushing a particular housemate to viewers, which, in my opinion, was part of its downfall and why it didn't live up to the original 10 run.

I don’t get what it achieves. The show is live. What does the producers having a favourite achieve? Seems like more work. They should be putting that work into actually making a good show instead of spinning narratives.

The live shows are a shocker. Mel is the only good thing about them and the show is letting down her full potential. The timing can easily be fixed but the lack of live content as you mentioned is what is really bringing the show down.

I think the stools need to come back. Mel is more than capable of having a proper interview with the evicted HM. I can't believe we didn't even get a highlights package from Michael. That is shocking. And if it's just going to be a brief standing on the stage cameo for nominations, why bother bringing the evictee back?

Hope things change for the next eviction show.
