Rewatch Big Brother 2006 YouTube stream (26-28 Sep & 3-5 Oct)

This was the season the control room and production went digital and HD (bar some house cameras which clearly aren’t)
I don’t know how true it was but I remember at the time there being the quote that this season cost $360 million to make, so it would account for the control room and production upgrades to HD as it would have been hella expensive back then.

Over a quarter of a billion dollars.. surely there’s no way
 
Omg I pray you do 🙏

I heard it on one of the 04 evictions, can't remember which housemate.
Gretel played the even earlier ringtone tune on a Nokia in one of the 2001 Saturday eps. THAT was a throwback!

Well if you think that the average HD plasma back then was about $15000.. production equipment isn’t cheap. I don’t know again how accurate that figure is unless the 0 was a mistake and it cost $36 million, which would make sense. But again back then TV was king and they were rolling in the money so…. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I feel like $360 million is network operating revenue levels of money, $36 million sounds way more realistic
 
Lauchlan narrates: All good.
I narrate: 5-minute timeout for "malicious mocking"

I’ve watched these Ten seasons a number of times over the years, but yet rewatching this almost feels like the first time again.

I’m really keen to see these last three seasons again now, even 2008 tbh.
