10 has Survivor: Australia V The World and The Amazing Race: Celebrity Edition after MasterChef finishes. Those two shows coming will be reasonably short run. 10 are going to have a big gap for the end of the year if Big Brother is indeed starting on the 16th of November. Are they going to fill a few weeks with filler programs and movies??? Might as well launch Big Brother earlier after Amazing Race and have it run so there are no gaps in their schedule? Why so late and short?

this did come to my mind as well. Survivor is said to be 11 episodes and TAR likely will be the standard 12 episodes or so. Even if both shows air over 2 nights a week separately, and if MasterChef is to be 13 weeks like last year, there is still a month sized gap between TAR and BB. What is TEN actually doing?!

Mel says here that they don’t know any of the details yet. While they might have a rough idea of when they’d like to launch the show I’m doubtful they have a date picked just yet or at very least not one that they’d be announcing down to the second.

Agreed. Taking this countdown with a grain of salt. If they really did have this date locked in surely they’d announce it properly rather than a graphic that aired for a couple minutes.

Oh this is not good news IMO. Even if its going to air over christmas/new years there is only room for 8 weeks max until I'm a Celeb starts 2 months later. IDK I just doubt that its going to run that long, I fear we are seeing a 6 week season. This makes me real sad.

I wonder if there was some delay caused by the holdback? I hope this is a move either made by TEN through no other choice or if anything a way to ensure as many eyeballs are on Big Brother with no competition and the 2026 season is longer. I really don't like this news though, at least its happening this year I guess.

I'm taking that date with a grain of salt but if it was pushed back that late it would be better to hold it over until 2026. I think though although the date nay be wrong that's the closest to confirmation it's still on track for late-2025.

As previously discussed despite all the talk of a 52 week schedule there are various practical reasons they'd want to finish up by early December at the latest. They're certainly not going to be wanting to pay people to work over Christmas.

Yeah tbh I'm not too fully set on believing it until I see it confirmed by TEN outside of a graphic on a light entertainment program, Mel being confused did kind of make me think it wasn't to be fully believed. Still a month or two to go until we can expect the holdback to be fully over really.

And yes good point, a mass production like Big Brother would want to avoid paying 300+ people over that period. I just am very hopeful we don't get a 6 week series. I would significantly less excited if that is to be the case.

Grrrrr its so frustrating not having any direct information from TEN!

Is it possibly a rights issue and they cannot legally air it any earlier even if they wanted to?
 
200 days would be 17th November, could it actually be that that's when we will see the casting call, and BB won't start until 2026? It was a very vague graphic, if it said "200 Days Until Big Brother Launches" it would be a bit more concrete, but I feel "Countdown to Big Brother" leaves more questions than answers.

I did a quick Google search and apparently for the 2006 season, auditions were held across November and December in 2005 with a launch date of 22nd April. This was also the case for the 2007 season, Nov/Dec auditions for a 22nd April launch.

Is it likely we will be seeing BB in April/May next year instead?

The only way MasterChef would lose its Q2 spot is if it bombed in ratings, probably for multiple series as well. There is no chance TEN fuck around with MasterChef for no reason.

Fair, I don't even watch it tbh, so I had no idea when it usually airs 😂

Personally I wouldn't read too much in to it as I have serious doubts about whether it was official.

You're right, in the comments section David Knox confirms it was just a joke. Probably just a casual gag to remind viewers that BB is still happening.

Good news for Nine quiz. But an SBS election special failed to pull in crowds.

The season this year will be closer to 10 weeks. They’re really going all in on the show.
