Big Brother Australia 2026 rumours

I'm not sure if this has been asked before but why did Channel 10 decide to bring back Big Brother?

I assume it is an attempt to try and increase ratings and save the network. They seem to have completely gone through to reality tv and game show formats. Even with everything BB is cheap to produce and provide compared to scripted drama.

Definitely some wriggle room there for BB to gain 4-6 more weeks if they want to. IF.

Definitely, amazing race doesn’t need 15 episodes either. And with those extra survivor weeks this year probably going towards the traitors instead then there’s no reason why ten can’t make room for an 8 week season at least. Given that they cut MasterChef back to 12-13

Not once has Ten advertised 2025 as a trial season. This is all pure speculation and an effort to explain/justify the dumpster fire that was just delivered to us.

You call it speculation, I call it prescribing logic based on known truths. Like I said, the budget issues don't justify the issues with this season which were almost entirely editorial.

I think everyone on social media who keeps justifying how shit this season was by saying it’s a trial is in for a rude shock next year. The duration may be slightly longer, sure, and the budget might get a small injection, but something tells me the quality/format won’t improve.

It’s then that the ratings will nosedive, and we’ll once again be in the same place we’ve already been three times already.

And since it have been editorial choices, it's hard to justify them as a "trial run". It's true that you can try things, but once you do something repeatedly, it's not a trial anymore. The right phrase will either be "incompetence" or "on purpose".

They showed people on Tailspin talking to the housemates. And then had Bruce's family talking to them. And they showed it yet again. How's that a trial? If they would have said something like "yeah, we've got more outside noise than we expected, it didn't work out, we won't do it again" after the first screamers, you could say that was trial and error. But showing interaction with the outside world twice? Can't sell that as a trial anymore.

Looking for their second showmance after the first one was torn apart? Being done on purpose. Somebody must have said during (and not just before) the production "yeah, the first one worked well, we need more of this, let's push for it".

The issue is the attitude they have towards the show, which guides poor editorial choices without the intent of learning something from it.

You've forgotten The Traitors (which I suspect will follow I'm A Celeb). 82 days seems way too optimistic, I'd guess 8-10 weeks at most (56-70 days).

This year being a "trial season" is pretty self evident. I've spoken elsewhere about how even with a three season commitment the show didn't have the brand capital to attract flagship-level sponsor/ad revenue, and how that would result in them being conservative with spend until it's proven. That doesn't excuse the editorial issues though which frankly were the biggest issue.

There is no world where Friday Night Games comes back. That door is closed, that conversation really needs to stop.

I’m thinking Traitors will be a non issue because it can be a Wed/Thur show like Bachelor used to be (eg Survivor Sun-Tue, Traitors Wed/Thur)
