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.
 
I don't have a cap, but I just saw a new promo where Mel was in Big Brother's DMs asking him if she can watch a live stream this year, and he replied that you can watch the live stream 24/7 on Ten. It had a DM graphic, but was fully voiced by both Mel and Leon. I think it also had that "Bad Guy" backing track.

Edit: I'm not 100% sure if I misheard the Ten bit as them promoing the channel the show is going to be on, I'd have to watch again.

Ooh! There’s been a few new short ads popping up lately. There’s a new version of the Coming Soon bumper with the date, short variants of the Leon promo and tonight a Mel themed “Game On Moles” Ten outro bumper aired.

Which city are you in @bradnak? Did it air during Amazing Race?

Given that 10play is now just 10 that could be exactly what you heard. But it doesn't clarify whether it's a FAST channel (like a multichannel) or web/app only. Would be great if it's a FAST channel, so easy to flick on the TV and have running all day. Won't take long to find out.
 
I wonder if they'll give the show an awesome intro going into the launch - something like this that someone made years ago for how 2012 should've started. A special one off intro that just switches into the intro used for the rest of the season. (Without the dancing afterwards ofc)

 
If memory serves correctly, didn't Peter Abbott do a voice over for the late 2024 promo? Perhaps all the previous voices will partake, at the very least with a cameo?

Leon Murray is already basically confirmed as the main voice. Peter's voice was used in the first teaser, yes. I'm not sure if that was recorded specifically for the promo or was just taken or modified from an early series. We'll likely get a couple different voices (hopefully). Rumour has it a large portion of the production team is from the original 10 era, so it's not impossible but I don't think likely. Wouldn't expect many cameos, if any, in that respect to be honest. We're more likely to see ex-housemates make some sort of appearance.

Regarding the voices, I would've preferred the Nick/Rikkie (5-7) voice team over Leon, but I liked Leon's enough to not be fussed. Maybe we'll be surprised! Given we're less than a month away I'd have thought we'd hear of who's at least producing it at this point. If it's an original producer we'll likely be able to guess on some aspects of the show.
