Considering they seem to be going for a murder mystery vibe having a secret nominator chosen by the public would fit in far better with the "whodunnit" theme.If they wanted a third nominee I’d much rather have the public give someone the ability to make that third nomination. It could easily be attached to some sort of immunity.
I think with the eviction insurance it’s just an easy way for production to fulfill their product placement obligations than something they feel will really impact the game.
As for the Deadlast twist I think it’s more targeted at people who throw comps but realistically people who throw comps aren’t the obvious first out.
The only thing I’m watching is the show crashing and burning.Still no audience for the show then?
No idea. Aside from following what’s being said on Twitter I’m on an official boycott.Are the bedrooms male/female?
Really is odd - pretty much the only country I can think of which has no regard for ratings data. Guess as the commercials just rebroadcast so much of the US schedules and therefore don't make the call over what gets axed they see them as somewhat irrelevant.I hadn’t realized this…

If Canadian networks weren’t mandated to broadcast a certain percentage of Canadian content as part of their remit they wouldn’t. As for American content they’re paying for the rights to substitute their adverts for the American ones. I guess as long as the show is doing well in the states they don’t really have to do much to show that it rates well here.Really is odd - pretty much the only country I can think of which has no regard for ratings data.

CanCon rules are a bit of a joke as they can usually get away with just repeating the same content over and over again. They do have to make some new investments but still the majority of their schedules are devoted to content they can SimSub. That said given that American networks broadcast in Canada without things like SimSub we’d maybe have a single Canadian network. The most successful Canadian shows are ones that are either co-produced with American networks or are ones that can be sold on to American networks. It’s a win/win for the Canadian network, they fulfill their CanCon mandate for minimal effort and in some cases very minimal in terms of actual investment. If the content can’t be sold it’s either just long enough that they can milk the shit out of reruns or specifically produced so that they can milk the shit out of reruns.Yes, it is odd the Canadian Content rules apply across the day so although there may be 55% content virtually all of it is out of primetime, and most of it news.
I still have some BBCAN content on my feed but the majority of it is still complaints. Just went through #BBCAN11 and there are very few tweets that are actually talking about the show/HG’s.No surprise. I guess there is a way we can see the number of #BBCAN11 comments in the first week compared to the #BBCAN10 (and indeed earlier) comments in previous years. Just zero content appearing on my feed too - and Twitter knows I like Big Brother. I get all sorts of content cropping up from series around the world without me either following them usually.
