She was also the show runner for Australian Survivor's worst season Blood vs Water...

Wasn't BvB1 and Blood vs Water show runner Keely Sonntag?

I could be wrong but I was under the impression that keely was EP for Brains vs Brawn 1

At this rate does the 40-hour famine lock in at the original BBAU house count??

Have no memory of that at all. Nowadays it would be a 4 minute lock in for our TikTok attention spans.

Does anyone know if the 7 era was pre-recorded based on the production company or was it 7's decision?

No one has ever confirmed but I firmly believe the idea didn’t originate on the production.

It will always be Endemol. They created and own the rights to the Big Brother format. ITV studios will never be involved.

They own the rights but they have minimal control over the vision. Pre-recording might have been a suggestion during negotiations but I’m doubtful they went around pitching the pre-recorded format directly to 7.

Very dramatic. Can’t remember details of what we fought over but there was definitely a war between myself and the organizer about something lol.

Might have had something to do with participants posting their own footage of the lock-in and the organizers demanding it be taken down.

*Not BB related sorry*

Just wanted to point out that 7 really sucks at reality shows lol

And every flop is so predictable, just like we all knew trying to turn BB into a dating show wouldn't work either.

Angus Ross from ch 7. I believe Amelia had a say as well

This is a quote from Fisk herself.. “An edited version gives us time to tell the stories in the most exciting way. There is no pressure of turning around an episode in 24 hours, which was What used to happen in Big Brother.”

Drinking the kool-aid is very different from being the inventor of it . We’re talking about the modern era where networks pretty much exercise total control over their productions vs the days where Endemol people onsite disapproving furniture because it looked too “luxurious”. The choice she had was take the EP job or not
