WTF? They’re literally showing people communicating with the HM’s? Again isn’t this a fundamental rule break? Who are the idiots in charge of this shit?

Even if they don’t care about the fundamentals of the show, it’s such a bad choice from a production point of view. Showing it is encouraging it.

Starting today you’ll have even more people yelling over the walls and next year, if they are stupid enough and stick with the backyard next to the rides, housemates will be more open to talk back to any wall tellers.
 
We all quickly forgot about it last night because the live eviction was such a mess, but that final segment of the daily show was especially bad television. Really, really amateur stuff. I feel it's the worst daily show segment we've had this season.

I don't even understand what the point of it was? "We're all just one big happy Big Brother family". Are the producers so scared of conflict that even the small confrontation we had between Holly and Allana had to be smoothed over with some soppy manufactured shit?

Aside from the whole contact with the outside world thing, the diary room cutaways were contrived. The housemates speak words but say nothing with pacing that was like reading from a script of generic reality TV show closing lines. They were clearly lines that the housemates would never naturally say themselves. It was completely formulaic, like they had a predetermined template and were trying to drag and drop footage into the template.

Did they feed the day's footage through generative AI to save money and this is what it recommended?
Did they already have this type of package ready for any moment that they had to broadcast conflict?
Did this happen because all the execs at Ten are Americans now and they want D-Grade US scripted-reality garbage?
Did Dreamworld ask for the rides to be included more?
Is "Australians favourite family" the new way Ten are wanting to spin this show?

I'm baffled at how such embarrassing TV was created.

Agree. And imagine if a public interaction gave away something to one or more HM(s) like a twist, a secret mission, voting or eviction details like whether it is going to be a double or not, or worse, which one or more of the HMs are hated by the public and why.

For example, who's not to say that somebody won't yell out "Nobody likes you on the outside, Holly!". Even if such a statement is true, or not, it throws a cat amongst the pidgeons in the house as that individual (in this case, Holly) may not be aware of that and will be affected in some way. They may start behaving differently, get emotional, or complain and whine about it. And if it causes a change to their interactions in the house, then it affects their chances ... and indirectly, other HMs too ... of winning, or not. Who knows. No, it is not a good idea to allow public interaction with the house, in any form.

With that in mind, I even think it is terrible that they have a telephone in the house and BB (and now a member of the pulbic) is using it to interact with the HMs. It's fine to use it for a task and order some BB Eats ... sure ... but, after that it should be done and dusted; it needs to be gone.

My mum feels the same way, and also thinks Coco was causing trouble with how she responded to this situation too.

Allana misquoted Holly, which irritated me. Holly never mentioned sleepovers, and Allana repeatedly said sleepovers, which may have caused some of the confusion, but the gist of it was correct. What Holly said was worse. She said Emily was probably never invited to the cool kids' parties.

Then Coco did some semi-tearless crying (twice!) in response, which I found weird.

Then later when Holly was repeatedly explaining where she had been coming from to Colin, she actually said re Emily, "She's older than me." Talk about not paying attention. Emily certainly looks older than her, but is actually a year younger.

Coco calling a house meeting to sideways accuse Holly without explaining the context, and risking Emily being actually hurt unnecessarily by finding out about the whole thing was also superweird.

As the show went on, clouds started to roll in and I was just expecting to get wet. We were all told to leave even before it had rained but there was heavy clouds + lightening. We were moved into the "Main Street" area... which, funnily enough, is under cover, has ample space and even a stage set up which could deffs be repurposed for evictions every Sunday.

Thank you for the rundown of your experience. So baffling they were not able to set this area up for the eventuality of rain or storms, after the previous nights of live audiences being rained on.

It's like amateurs running a school fete.
 
FOR LIVE EVICTIONS NEXT YEAR… NOTE TO PRODUCERS:
1. Roof!
2. Bigger stage with chairs
3. More time to interview the evictees
4. Show voting % at the start of the show with faces as question marks
5. Show the final % to the evictee
6. Show highlight package to the evictee
7. Show the evictee who voted for them
8. Get more insight into their time in the house. Ie fav hm, who’s playing the game, who will win, who will leave next, etc. The “famous 10 BB questions” with one word answers.
9. Make it feel like event tv.

Hopefully this is all because of budget constraints and next year it will be better 🤞🏼

Perhaps we need to start a “lessons learnt to improve 2026” thread, so the team can easily review it.

This. I couldn't agree more. 💯

You advertised it as OG ... then make it OG!

I would add one further thing ... a housemate-run (raised platform pathway that HMs walk along "through the audience" to enter the house and when they get evicted). I did enjoy watching HMs get high-fived by audience members, and reading their audience signs, etc ... and I am sure the HMs did too.

Are we sure we want to go there? Alex is credited as one of the EPs of the current Love Island series, so he might be a lost cause too.

Literally every episode of I'm A Celebrity has a "secret mission" by one of the show's sponsors now. You rarely see anything on the show these days that happens naturally. There is always some kind of prompt from production which feels contrived, and every episode follows the same format to a tee, so I wouldn't think he would be best suited to get back to how Big Brother once was.

The whole format is just not Big Brother. They cast a couple of central HMs and have literally built the entire show and narrative around them. The episodes have all this previously/tonight nonsense at the start which just wastes time, and it's structured like a soap opera.

How the hell did this happen? BB fans deserve better. Stop telling us who to like and hate. It used to be so organic and now it's incredibly contrived. And so obvious they get directed in the DR to "provide content". Bruce literally said he'd given good content. HMs would never have used those words before. Look at all the times HMs have looked straight at the cameras and started performing. Just. Stop. It's just painful.
