I'm getting even more certain they will quit the show at conclusion of taping of the All Stars season now. Just need someone to check if the house (entry/yard) get disassembled, and also if the containers for the challenge area get removed. If they were going to tape another season next year they'd probably leave that area intact. The flimsy yard, not so sure, but maybe they'd retain that because of the pool.
Well there certainly weren't any during BBVIP.Unbelievable Moments Caught on Camera

Seven trying to brush off BB:VIP as something only commissioned to fill a gap in the schedule left by Australia's Got Talent being cancelled.

When AGT was pulled from 2021 Seven pivoted to Big Brother: VIP which Ross says could be confidently filmed during precarious pandemic conditions.
“We had a mechanism where we could get a series of Big Brother and that we could produce under COVID conditions and choices were limited. We’re disappointed in the numbers, but you still go into it thinking you can get the show to resonate and and for whatever reason it hasn’t,” he continues.
“I’m still very confident about our series next year with the ‘All Stars’ angle we’ve got. I think when it returns it’s going to do very well. But yeah, this one didn’t resonate as we’d hoped.”

"When you lose shows, you have to run shows in places that you weren't expecting," says Seven's Angus Ross.

Wahoo!
lol. It seems plausible until sources from the Wikipedia page of all places completely debunk it.Seven trying to brush off BB:VIP as something only commissioned to fill a gap in the schedule left by Australia's Got Talent being cancelled.
Announced March 30th, then AGT was axed June 29th. So not sure how they think those two events happened at the same time since the June COVID outbreak that caused AGT to get canceled happened in, well, June.

I dunno, I think this might be a slight misreading due to ambiguity. Rather than talking about the commission, I believe he’s referring to how AGT could have been originally scheduled to air before BBVIP despite the fact that BB was filmed earlier.Seven trying to brush off BB:VIP as something only commissioned to fill a gap in the schedule left by Australia's Got Talent being cancelled.
ie. “We had a mechanism where we could get a series of Big Brother (on air during AGT’s originally planned timeslot) and that we could produce under COVID conditions and choices were limited.”

It’s still bullshit no matter how put it… BBVIP would have rated terribly no matter where it fell in the schedule.I dunno, I think this might be a slight misreading due to ambiguity.

I agree, but in the interest of playing devil’s advocate, it’s also possible that it could’ve had a better promotional cycle or better passes at editing.It’s still bullshit no matter how put it… BBVIP would have rated terribly no matter where it fell in the schedule.

That’s just passing the buck… The issue was this was a show no one asked for with a cast no one wanted.I agree, but in the interest of playing devil’s advocate, it’s also possible that it could’ve had a better promotional cycle or better passes at editing.
