What I want to see going forward for Big Brother is 85-day (12-week) seasons. That's about the sweet spot. Go too much lower and it feels too rushed, especially if intruders are in the mix; and go too much higher and it feels too much of a drag in the final weeks. I know this year's season is locked in, but I hope next year we can go for a more traditional length.

The problem was, especially 2005-2007, they just kept throwing more intruders in. It was painful and pointless because you don't get a chance to get to know them properly, and usually (but not always) they get evicted pretty quickly and all it's achieved is a couple of extra weeks of show. They're pure padding.
 
I think, at least to start, many will tune in out of curiosity after the advertising 10 have done and also after the absolute dumpster fire on 7 that caused many to simply write the show off. Their launch needs to be very strong.

I don’t see the point in one month runs. Blink and it’s over. 100 days is a lot for today. Two months in the 8/9 week area feels about right.

I highly doubt 10 is going to walk away from the show if it doesn't rate well next month.

I think the ratings are going to be quite important, at least this time around. Its whether they've done enough to shake off Seven's stink to interest people that said "fuck this shit" and walked away from the show while they were airing it.

If they did pull the pin on it, it would be the second time Big Brother has had it happen - since they announced a VIP 2 before the first season aired. Then it got cancelled because VIP bombed. Hard. (and rightfully so).

I think it will be hard to mess up coming back after the crap 7 aired. It's quite simple - listen to the feedback from viewers and fans. Which I think they have been doing.

And to reiterate a common thought process, no "influencers" or "content creators" - that'll be a shit start for them.
