This. I loved "Uplate". I had a TV in my room and I would go to bed with Uplate on. I'd put the TV on a timer and set it to turn off if I happned to fall asleep. I particularly remember a fishing task where two housemates had to be awake at all times with fishing rods in their hands and the...

Oh dear. That is indeed terrible news for Reggie. I hope it pans out as Kingston has described.

I would also like to add my congrats to the winners. Most deserved. Well done all.

I asked a similar question a little earlier in this thread. I asked whether they base ratings purely on "free to air" TV viewing. Or, to put it another way, are they actually calculating the ratings correctly and taking in to account all the different ways to view the show (such as online)...

Agree. I have never understood it either. They tell you that the people who do apparently have these boxes are a good "representation" of the Australian viewing public. Ummm. OK. I suppose we have to believe them. But, like you, I’ve never met anybody in my lifetime who has an OzTAM box or...

Oops. And I am Gen X myself. Nice pick up. :thumbsup: I think I got confused when beardymac said "Zoomers". I also missed Gen A. LOL. (And, for the record, I watched it on TV.)

Right. OK. Fair enough then. In that case, my question is moot. 😐

One issue I think may exist is that TV execs expect TV ratings. Well, it's a more modern world now. So, how many of the millennials actually watched it on a TV screen, instead of streaming it on a device of some kind? Just how much are the viewing numbers really down (ie, don't look only at...

A good point.

And this too. Also spot on!

This. Spot on!

Yeah, I did think of this too. I don't have an answer for it either. It would definitely be hard to cut and edit it all together in the right order. So perhaps a "recap" kind of show, on the Thursday might the the order of the day. Maybe bring back Mike Goldman. But, again, you're right...

Interesting concept. I like this idea. :thumbsup:

Well that is all of the combinations for two colours ... so that just leaves pink and blue and red (all three used). 🤣

💯. We simply need "something" to get to know the HMs better. I suggested that could air on an additional day ... but, yes, I'd also be happy with that being released for streaming or put on 7Plus. And, you're right, the problem is indeed that 7 seems to want to control the narrative and...

I agree with Brekkie's whole post, but I've deleted the bottom of it and left only the top bit in the quote above because I think this is the most valid point of all ... "They need to eliminate .... questions about the authenticitiy of what we're seeing." ... whether they do that by removing...

Yeah, that's a fair call. I don't necessarily disagree. Still, I wonder if it might attract some viewers. Heck, people might decide to tune in on that night only; it could turn out to be a kind of nostalgic way to view the Ch 7 format. Yes, I do agree. But in lieu of the fact that I cannot...

Here's another question from me out of left field ... What if they keep the existing format, exactly as it is ... pre-recorded, with challenges, house nominations, strat chat, housemates vote to evict, everything ... ... but they add one additional day to the viewing schedule (so, we would get...

💯

Apparently so ... but not according to Big Brother, Tim, and Reggie. :conf:
