Episode Day 30 Finale Show - 8/12/2025

I waited all day to watch this. It was my partners birthday today, so we did our birthday thing. Had that many interruptions, eventually settled down to watch it and my recording stopped as Coco was hugging her kids .... the end!😦
 
I feel like as a live producer of these shows sometimes you have to make tough decisions. The show ended like 15 minutes overtime as is, and they saw no option but to cut the Emily interview. I'm sure no one in production liked it either
They only had an NCIS repeat afterwards, nothing that couldn't have been delayed further by 5-10 mins.
 
I think Mel is super likeable. She won me over this season.
Perhaps give her a better production to work with though.

What happened multiple times this season with the massive rainfalls was unacceptable imo. You had to feel for Mel, particularly on the night where Mia got effectively phone call evicted.

The 2026 season MUST have a roof installed or have a full on building for live stage shows.
 
I’m praying that they put fuck all effort into this show because of the time of year and they’ll approach it differently next year. I’ll hold onto my tiny glimpse of remaining hope that’s holding on for its dear life. Although I’m glad it’s over, this season has been so stressful for all the wrong reasons but the highlight of the season for me by far was rejoining this forum after so much time away (since pre 9 era) and getting to share the mutual passion we all have with one another. It’s been great connecting with you all ❤️

It sucks because this show had potential and they blew it every time. I am glad they did the brutal evictions towards the end but I feel like the short length of season is a massive part of why this show seems to be a failure in many ways.

That is my slight hope as well. I mean the investment for a 4 week season, you’re not going to spend a bomb and it… bombs.
I just hope a longer season, more money and better production happen due to the fact that his year actually has paid off for them
