I just don’t see how they plan to facilitate interviews and unpredictable weather in the vicinity of what we’re seeing. I’m still convinced there’s an indoor studio, which is potentially what the Live Stage tickets are for. Even if the plan is to mostly be outside, it would be ludicrous to not have a contingency

This is a good point. The first eviction in the UK this year had to move into the Late and Live studio from the outage stage due to storms. So would be weird to have nothing as a back up during storm season
 
So much talk about the tiny stage area, which I agree looks pathetic, but my bigger concern is how small the garden is. The UK might get away with a small backyard but it's a much more critical component of the Aussie series, and airing at a hotter time of year. Wondering if they'll keep them mostly indoors to avoid the obvious noise coming from the theme park, and perhaps even have an indoor garden too.

From what we've seen so far though the return to Dreamworld isn't looking like a great thing.

My guess is on days where the park is busier they may limit access to the yard until after park hours but I can’t imagine the weekday crowds are much of a concern.

As for the return to Dreamworld it’s definitely not the most ideal in terms of being crammed into the middle of the park however Dreamworld and OG Big Brother are synonymous. IMO the benefits in doing so outweigh any potential issues in terms of selling this as a modernized series with the nostalgic DNA of the original era.

Look. At most we’re getting a six week flash in the pan series… I’ll be looking more for promise than I will be perfection. I’m also quite certain that despite taking some inspiration from them 10 is not ITV. I can’t imagine there’s much of anything about this era that they’d be so committed to that it couldn’t be changed in the future if it clearly wasn’t working.
 
As I will be using the Adelaide train station later this afternoon, I will have to check and see if they have done the same thing over here.
If they have, will try for a better quality video/audio.

Very excited about the return of Big Brother Australia back in its true home in 10 and even in Dreamworld for good measure.

For the record I did apply for the first time this season (turned 18 in 2016, refused to apply, nor actively watch the Survivor ripoff over on 7)

P.S. Big FU to 7 for that 2025 holdback. They should never touch this format ever again.
 
Fabulous article in today's Sydney Morning Herald. Includes rare photos in HQ from the show's heyday and new interviews with BB01's Blair McDonough & Sara-Marie Fedele, BB03's Reggie Sorensen, "incoming" EP Sarah Thornton and a secondary EP Jonathon Summerhayes who also worked on the show between BB01-BB06.

‘No filters, no fame-hungry pigs’: Inside the original Big Brother

It was the start of a new era of TV, but what do stars Sara-Marie, Blair and Reggie think of it now?

Another good article and it gives me hope the house won’t have influencers and content creators in the mix. That’s one of my irks with ITV.

Even though previously discussed, it is a bit of a shame any adult oriented show is being omitted. By adult I don’t mean closeups of penises and breasts, but interaction and conversation that just wouldn’t necessarily be appropriate for kids. BB isn’t really a family show imo. I mean, it could be both, but omitting content for adults is a form of censorship and we’re missing an entire subsection of what Big Brother is at its core.

Also, I haven’t seen any spinoff show mentioned or advertised. Guess it’s just the highlights and any specials.

The nostalgia seeing those 2001 photos 🥹 Very pleased to hear about a producer from 01-06 returning. And that was so funny Reggie saying the 2022 season was torture and like survivor in a warehouse 😂

There's been rumours that Peter Abbott may be involved in some form. Other's have also said there's some OG crew from the 10 era back. But also crew from 9 and 7.
 
This is looking like a much better weather outcome

Tickets say 4:30 entry, so unless they plan to record from 6pm, the set will still be quite sun drenched until then. I'm worried a lot of the people tuning in are expecting to see the amphitheatre, but then again people are still asking on the BB Insta if Mike G is returning.... on videos that clearly feature him... like really? 💀
 
Anyone else thinking we may get a couple surprises at Launch? With the “theme” of this revival being nostalgia, and so many OG HMs willing to contribute to the buzz for the series, I wonder if we’ll see a couple of them (either on-stage or as part of some video package) in the first episode.

Sara-Marie is known to be quite elusive and doesn’t have an online presence, so by her participating in today’s article it means production has likely had some form of contact with her.

That would be so fantastic for Peter Abbott to be involved but sounds like Jonathan Summerhayes was selected by him for a very important role back in the original run so I guess that’s the next best thing. This answer makes me particularly excited!!!
