Partner with TikTok and Instagram Reels. It’s being done with the music industry so I can’t see why the something similar can be done here. For a franchise that so desperately wants to find younger viewers and bring back those who may have left it behind I really can’t think of a better strategy to do it. Even if either platform is only offering peanuts as compensation. The show was built around the water cooler and in 2025 social media is our modern water cooler.
I’ll take it over that 7 era imitation creep of a BB “I have been watching you” like the guy gets off on watching people take a fat shitHis distinct “theeuuuss is Big Brother” is unmistakable.
One completely inconsequential thing that grated on me was how the 10 era ended with Leon-BB saying, "This house has never belonged to Big Brother, or even the Housemates. It is your House."I’ll take it over that 7 era imitation creep of a BB “I have been watching you” like the guy gets off on watching people take a fat shit
(And I'm still pissed at ITV for trying to copy that voice and intro. 
)
Absolutely - I've never bought the argument more in the final week makes for better viewing. The show needs a beginning, middle and an end and the house winding down is a huge part of the experience for both viewers and housemates. We're probably going to be looking at 8 housemates left with a week to go - and then I'd guess another double eviction at some point in the final week with it then probably being 6 to 4 on the Sunday and 4 in the final on the Monday (although if it runs later into the week we may get 8-6 on the Sunday, 6-4 on the Monday then the final on the Tuesday or Wednesday
Like where you’re going with this but they should almost replay that ending montage with Leon’s final words and then pick up with something like “welcome to your new house” with the lights flicking on in the new Diary Room.One completely inconsequential thing that grated on me was how the 10 era ended with Leon-BB saying, "This house has never belonged to Big Brother, or even the Housemates. It is your House."
And then the first thing 7-era BB does is call it "my house" and get into an argument with Angela about how it's his house, not hers.

Seeing as Leon had literally the last word of the 10 era ("Thatisall... for now..."), I wonder if they'll give him the first word this time.

The 2018 series of BBUK is the perfect example of why too many in the final weeks doesn’t work. The latter of the series felt extremely rushed and the low ratings aside it didn’t make much sense. IMO the cast could have easily gone another week or two had they been allowed to.
The way she says she watched "a lot of" Sonia's seasons, and then describes herself as a superfan in the same breath. She's all of us.
What on earth is this part about, though?
I see what you did thereThe way she says she watched "a lot of" Sonia's seasons, and then describes herself as a superfan in the same breath. She's all of us.

But I mean that’s kind of how I’ve always seen the role of a BB presenter. In a way they’re an extension of us. Her knowing the good, bad, and the ugly (cough, cough 
) is exactly what I’d expect. 
Spot on regarding the time zones. As someone based in QLD I completely forgot about this… really disappointed I won’t be tuning into the “live” evictions in real time…I see what you did there
Not exactly sure what she’s getting about Queensland but I think it’s about timezones? If the show is airing live from Queensland they won’t actually be able to watch it live because they’ll be an hour behind due to daylight savings. Could be wrong

Oh my goodness, reading that article nearly made me cry. That is one incredibly promising interview. My genuine excitement just peaked. They touched on everything we’ve questioned here - from the cast to the house, the Dreamworld noise spill, to why they pre-record Launch, the intent of live streams, lockdown, previous iterations of the show, FNL, and even hinted that the series might be longer than we think.
Totally. I’m completely expecting this to be the case for the final weeks, unfortunately.
That is normal for any livestream, I wouldn't worry about it.
Until we see with our own eyes what exactly that means we won’t know.
I figured that’s probably standard that it’s shown at a delay just wondered about the extent of what they won’t show especially when they’re advertising it as “unfiltered”. I have no experience watching livestreams of BB other than vague memories of poor quality on my slow internet as a teen in a regional town in the 00’s haha. So I’m really excited about this aspect of the new season.
There’s always been censorship as far as I know. As for the term “unfiltered” I’m reading it in a broad sense. Think of it more as “unapologetic”, “honest”, or “raw” while obviously being something they both legally and morally have to handle with a degree of care. It’s kind of more of a philosophy than a direct literal statement.
Depends if it's "this is defamatory and we're not allowed to air it" censorship, or "we want to save this juicy conversation for the daily show" censorship... the BB06 "Premium" feeds were 24/7, but I feel like I remember them being awful, with some sort of "top 10 moments" loop running for hours at a time.
And I was pleased to hear there might be dick-slips
Yes! And I never miss an opportunity to rub the ol' trusty E4 "gaps in sound" PSA in everyone's faces, so here:
