   @g4gracie2 @BenFromBrisbane it's a shorter show this year. What a shame.

:'( I hate short.

I'm not the one in charge of making scheduling decisions for Ch 9 programs so it beats me why expressing concern about bushfires as merely a viewer of the show has unsettled so many. Relax I was just putting it out there, it can run though the whole of fire season if that's what your collective hearts desire and any misgivings I have about doing so won't make an iota of difference.

Because it was stupid to have even mentioned it in the first place...

 

[pawlini]

Fuck the Block! They only did another season because they didn't even have to buy a new building for it, just renovating one of their old offices in Melbourne. So pure profit. thats why its getting the advantage to BB

 

[beardymac]

thats why its getting the advantage to BB

Are you sure that's the only reason? *cough* ratings *cough*

No, it was the former office of IT company Vixitel. Nine reportedly paid $8.25million for it.
I think you have been confused as there were reports that they mocked it up to LOOK like a nine office. I'm guessing the first episode will have the contestants rocking up to what they have been told and think are the Nine offices when in reality it is their block to renovate.


This is what it actually looked like prior to being purchased for the block:

Nine removed the Vixitel logo and out up their own branding in what is presumed to be a joke on the contestants:

its all profit, fella

@beardymac is more correct. The ratings/advertising profit is higher for the Block.

That's actually a pretty good joke on the contestants, better than the one from sky high.

 

[pawlini]

Oh god, Vixtel is one of those companies where I have no idea what the fuck they do? There seems to be a lot of those companies and somehow they are profitable and people want to buy them? I dont get it

 

[up_all_night]

So, do we have a launch date?

 

[bleachy_dude]

So, do we have a launch date?

@Goon and Tim Dormer say September.

No official word yet, or even a particular start date.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

I have a feeling that Tim Dormer got his information from here.

Wise words.

Even stupider to reply to it then. There's a hell a lot of stupid in internet forums that I just choose to ignore because there aren't enough hours in the day to engage with it.

I haven't posted much at all over the past year but that doesn't mean I don't still read the forum... I've witnessed plenty of stupid on these forums in that time that I chose to ignore because I couldn't be bothered to type a reply... Trust me yours take the cake this time around...

Cringe. He's gonna be trawling these forums all year and posting things on Twitter. Fame leech.

Well Tim is not the only person saying September, it seems lots of people come here for info, then tweet about it without saying where they got it from.

HAHA I hope that is sarcasm....

In the past.... before my time on here, was BBB only accessible to members, like you could only read the forum if you were a member and signed in?

That's a compliment coming from you. You're only adding to the stupid by responding to it, that's why it makes zero sense to me if that's how someone feels about a comment.
