Rewatch Big Brother 2004 YouTube stream (Aug 29 -30 + Sept 6-7)

They probably got her on because she used to be a producer on channel 7 for 12 years, still weird though.

Oh totally, I knew that and she mentions it briefly in the interview. It still feels a little odd for Seven to be actively talking about Big Brother at this time.

But hey, slow news day I guess!

For some reason this isn’t coming up for me

Weirdly enough they have geo-blocked it for Canada but not for any other Non-Australian country (at least not the ones that I've checked).

So hopefully they won't strike it before you get up.. otherwise: use VPN.

Are the Seven series still on 7+? Perhaps a last chance for them to rinse some revenue from the brand.

I believe so, the Big Brother FAST channel on 7+ is still kicking

It seems season 12 has expired. The rest are there though, for now.

I haven't read it but from the excerpts that you can find around, it doesn't appear that she's talking about Big Brother directly. Down below is an excerpt that is available via Google Books and she's just talking about "the most controversial TV show in the universe". Sounds a lot like Big Brother, but then she says that the TV show was cancelled and her job vanished.

I've bought the eBook and I haven't read it yet but it starts with a supposed date of June 2008, which is a month before Ten cancelled BBAU (and yes I know she was no longer part of the show by then, but this could be one of the gleeful exaggerations). She then goes on to say she has two children named Frog and Tadpole. Anyway I should get on to reading it and deciphering what or may not be BB.

Someone sent my an alternate but thanks. Watched it this morning on my way to work. Very good interview.

The conversation between Gretel and Merlin on the Nominations show the night after his eviction protest was so profound. I almost wish this got shown just as much as his protest has over the years. Both of them so eloquent and well-spoken, and diplomatic in discussing what happened.

The topic of Merlin's protest was also a pretty big political debate in Australia at the time.

I remember learning in a Uni Social Studies class about how, as the 2 security guards were escorting Merlin off the stage after his protest, one of them said "Merlin what you have just done is incredible, the whole of Australia is going to love you forever", and the other one responded with "shut up mate".
