Could always just do what Seven did to VIP 2 and quietly nix it.

Thank you for spelling it MOLLS.How did i not know we were going back to the future?..Game on Molls
Comes across to me that I'm a Celeb is up first as per usual following with Survivor and then it seems the Traitors will bridge between Survivor and Masterchef. Nothing there to unpack regarding BB26's length but hopefully theres room for at least 8-9 weeks for it.

Who the fuck is going to be watching a TV show and go "ooooh! I'm going to pause the show so I can go buy that lamp!"?An additional article:

Looks like it has something to do with this:
Most phones can do this already, so people would be more likely to use that so they can just continue to watch the show.
I'm reminded of a time, about 2006, watching the BBUS feeds, when the camera operator zoomed right in on a cigarette packet which was left standing up on a table in the yard. It was kinda surreal that they would do that.An additional article:

Oh wow I wish I could go back and watch the 2006 feeds of BBUS that’s my favourite season

In summary:
Is this Lil' Sis but all grown up now or something entirely different???
Or maybe just a nod to a female BB acting as one of the voices / deputy producers, which is fine and nothing to be alarmed about
In summary:
- Nostalgia with a modern twist
- Letting the experiment play out
'And don’t be surprised if Big Sister turns up this season'

It’s this image that has made me spiral more than anything:
The typeface in the capsule-like design, the colours… for a show that did everything they could to pretend they didn’t take ideas from BBUK once upon a time, so far this is literally a carbon copy of the current iteration of BBUK. If the on-screen graphics continue to look like that (i.e. HM names, day number and timestamps, etc), I’m afraid it’s not giving BBAU a chance to have its own identity. Still hopeful but I’m suddenly nervous about the editing now as well.

Kaysar and Janelle. Loved that season.
Back to this point - I feel like this moment right now before the launch is very much giving that closure, while also offering up a bit of optimism.Oh, I'm just SO excited, you guys.
Is anyone else finding this to be the closure they never got from BB07-BB08?So good to see Gretel so happy and settled again, even though it must be super weird to be back at Dreamworld and surrounded by Big Brother stuff.
The closure is comforting, it reminds me of constantly rewatching this closing package / retrospective from BB08 as the C10 era came to a close. Is it dumb that it’s making me emosh?! To quote Jamie… IM NOT CRYING.
Also very pleased that I am not the only one so terrified & annoyed about this. They’ve done so well with the typeface & visuals so far, a good mix of OG & modern. Even if they add that stupid diamond-ish eye logo to capture some of the fans of the 9 & 7 eras, it’s ok. But to me, BB is always that photorealistic eye on a blue background with big bold letters, not this purply vibe.
Yeah, it’s not a good sign.
Get it, Mel! Best facial expressions on TV.
Also, Gretel…talking about Big Brother and the revival…positively. 
“So it’s 24 years ago. Isn’t it amazing because it’s still so fresh in people’s minds? I really wish Mel and the whole gang all the best. I hope that it’s a triumph.”

The texture on those chairs strobed in every close-up shot, too.
This is so nice to see, I feel like she usually goes out of her way to NOT talk about it. Even on TAR, all they got out of her was, "I was the host of... a TV show that.... was quite a phenomenon in its day", and then she immediately pivoted.
Even with Mikey today, I don't think Big Brother was mentioned by name.Also she looks gorge.

She did the same thing when Nine's era was about to launch too.Also, Gretel…talking about Big Brother and the revival…positively.

Gretel Killeen reckons Sonia Kruger will be a great host for Big Brother and wishes the show well.

She did get one thing wrong though.

This. I suppose the hasty transition to similar graphics was a hint too.
I can live with the house but they’ll lose me as a viewer if it’s quite literally the same as what BBUK is producing. They’ve had a promising start with their build up to the series. Will they stick with no influencers? Will each episode heavily feature pop music? Will punishments be a crap little jail cell in the yard? Will we have cheap dramatic lighting changes during evictions? It’s giving Disney and The Sims.
So far the only difference I can spot is that nominations will be live, which the UK doesn’t do.
Idk, I’m optimistically wary. I’ve been stoked for this since it was announced last year but these previews have left a lot to be desired for me. Perhaps my expectations were a little high but I did expect some Australian originality. Nothing stays the same but this could possibly be veering too far off course.

Big Sister - I assume a female voice. That’s what the female voice in 2007 was referred to.Article with 10 EP Sarah Thornton: https://www.mediaweek.com.au/big-brother-returns-to-dreamworld-but-this-time-big-sisters-watching/
In summary:
But I couldn't help but double take at this line from Sarah:
- Nostalgia with a modern twist
- Letting the experiment play out
'And don’t be surprised if Big Sister turns up this season'
Is this Lil' Sis but all grown up now or something entirely different???
Or maybe just a nod to a female BB acting as one of the voices / deputy producers, which is fine and nothing to be alarmed about
