Episode Day 4 Daily Show and Nominations - 12/11/2025

[timmy]

I do have a question, how long does the series go for?

From TV Tonight:

How many weeks is the show running? Will you be doing double evictions to get the numbers down?
Sarah Thornton: “We haven’t (confirmed weeks) but obviously you can see we’re heading to Christmas. We will up the pace as we get to the Final, definitely. But, we’re sort of hoping to get to the Final with enough people that the house is still entertaining and that viewers still feel like they’re getting to decide on their favourite for the winner.”

Thanks Timmy

And does it cost money to vote?

Only time I’ve ever spent money voting was in the final. And my budget was 55 cents lol!

@MADONNA and they muted Coco’s biggest regret yesterday. That may have been great daily show content.

It's free but you can only vote once. And it's to save, so a bit useless really when there are three HMs up.

Just re-watching the Nominations segment from last night's episode and, I'm sorry to say, but I feel as though Mel - and a live show in general - was completely redundant last night. The episode could've worked a lot better - and left more time for Daily Show content (and the dinner argument) - had everything just been packaged into one complete Daily Show. It would've flowed even better. If they really wanted to do the nominee announcement live, they can still just cut to the house at the very end of the episode - exactly like they did in 2001.

I love love Mel and what she's bringing to the show but so far they're not actually giving her much, or anything, to work with. There was no real point to having her and a live audience last night...

I think they need to seriously consider extending the length of the live episodes, so there’s more balanced time split between recaps from the house and stage content. This is going to be particularly relevant for Evictions, which I can already tell is going to be nothing like we anticipate it to be.

Bruce legit said the same thing, when they never cut to them or spoke to them about the noms he was like what is the point of people coming for a live show. I am shocked the never muted that on the buffer of the stream

Adding to this conversation, and following the comment Bruce made, the fact they didn't even do a typical live-cross to just say hello to the HMs was bizarre and... surprise, surprise... further adds to the list of things they've taken from BBUK.

Reminder to any producers reading, this is BBAU. And so far not many elements from the "OG" you've been promoting have actually been utilised.

Yeah. I think they need to seriously consider extending the length of the live episodes, so there’s more balanced time split between recaps from the house and stage content. This is going to be particularly relevant for Evictions

I'd like to see the daily show segments detached from the live show. That means no Mel, other than perhaps a short intro at the very beginning - but not for any ad breaks. Combined with cutting back the camera transition length. Less padding = more time for house recaps.

But I agree the Sunday daily + live eviction could do with additional air time, perhaps 90 minutes total (+15-20 minutes)? Given the stage setup I'm not sure we'll have an eviction couch or much else post-eviction, which will be sad and disappointing if true. It'd be nice to see the evictee's time in house, voting percentages and even the OG '10 Big Brother questions'. Also the eviction titles better be red !

I'm just writing up a recap and realised I need to actually take notes during the show LOL does anyone remember the nomination reasons from last night?

• Bruce gives 4 points to Mia because she brings up topics he doesn't want to talk about. He also gives 1 point to Coco because she's a temptation to him but he doesn't want to do anything with her because she has kids.
• Coco nominates Michael for 4 points because they have different morals then Bruce for 1 because he's the next generation of Michael.
• Mia nominates Holly for 4 and Bruce for 1 but her reasons weren't fully included int he show, may have been calling out controversial topics that weren't included in the daily shows.
• Michael nominates Abiola for 3 and Colin for 2.
• Abiola voted Holly for 2 and Colin for 3.
• Colin nominates Mia for 2 points and Michael for 3.
• Vinnie gives 3 points to Holly and 2 points to Mia.
• Allana gives 4 to Michael and 1 to Holly.
• Edward gives 4 to Abiola and 1 to Holly.
• Holly gives 4 points to Mia and 1 to Michael.
• Emily nominates Holly for 3 points and Vinnie for 2 because of strategy.
• Jane votes Holly for 3 points and Coco for 2.
• Conor nominates Holly for 4 points and Michael for 1 point.

Thanks for the summary. Not usually a fan of manipulating the noms rules but Mia is saved by only having 2 nominees plus Jane.

The overpolicing of reasons by BB in the past was dumb. Bruce was reasons were shallow and Idiotic but they were clear and not generic.

Agree - how people nominate can be very revealing about their character. Bruce showed how problematic he really is with his reasoning.

Reminder to any producers reading, this is BBAU. And so far not many elements from the "OG" you've been promoting have actually been utilised.

The return to the "OG format" is about the key pillars of BB's original iteration - live evictions, live nominations (though to everyone's benefit, they didn't really do that), returning to Dreamworld and live streaming. It's not about replicating or returning to every aspect of that era:

The references to "OG format" was about going back to live evictions, live nominations and the show being set at Dreamworld. Those where the three things Mel mentioned time after time when she was asked about that during promo interviews.

This notion some seem to have that the show should simply be a carbon copy of how it was between 2001 and 2007 whilst ignoring we live in a completely different world since BB's original iteration is absurd.

This became clear during the course of the pre-launch promotions for this season and even more so after its first few days.

Thank you for repeating everything I've been saying for weeks. It doesn't change my point.

The issue is your point completely misunderstands what the return of the "OG format" is about. It's not about utilising, replicating or returning to every single element of that era.

While there have been (and will continue to be) key and small aspects which are inspired by and/or remind us of the "OG format", there are going to be numerous aspects which deviate from that for better or worse.

Thank you once again for repeating something I'm fully aware about and have been saying here a while. Again, not changing the point I made.

Nobody expected the original seasons to be replicated. It’s been said numerous times that the “key pillars” were obviously what they were inferring about in its simplest form, notably after the season started.

What we were expecting was a departure from the (still) reminiscent dingleberrys from the 7 era. We were expecting a more traditional editing format. We were expecting “badder” big brother, as advertised. We were expecting something more reminiscent of what 10 produced all those years ago that initially hooked fans. It was expected to be modernised. What we have here is a pretty run of the mill reality format that was copied and butchered from the foundation big brother initially built, not withstanding the preferential editing and favouritism of certain housemates. The live feeds tell a vastly different story to what is being spoon fed to viewers in the daily shows. That, and the childish presentation is what most are disappointed about.

I think the general reception of the reboot has been positive, particularly with the adjustments made in the last few days, but there’s many areas that are lacking. It’s too plastic and polished. We just want the raw, fly on the wall experience back. Unfiltered was part of their advertising campaign and they’re falling short on that. If there’s anywhere to make a stance about the under delivery so far of this reboot, it’s here.

But I agree the Sunday daily + live eviction could do with additional air time, perhaps 90 minutes total (+15-20 minutes)? Given the stage setup I'm not sure we'll have an eviction couch or much else post-eviction, which will be sad and disappointing if true. It'd be nice to see the evictee's time in house, voting percentages and even the OG '10 Big Brother questions'. Also the eviction titles better be red !

Sunday’s first eviction episode is only scheduled for 70 minutes (7pm-8.10pm). That concerns me that we are going to have an early 2012-style eviction with a quick evictee chat while standing on the stage. Eviction episodes should really be running for 90 minutes with a couch on the stage after the evictee is announced and a reasonable chat like the original series. That was the best thing about the live eviction shows: the chat with Gretel and seeing the highlights of the evicted housemate with live reactions.

 

[Matty492]

The eviction show itself should be short and sweet:

• Mel comes on, says hello and few things about the show and the past week.
• Look back on the nominated HMs week (then ad break)
• Mel chats with family of the nominated HMs (Wouldn't mind if this isn't included)
• Mel crosses to the house, chats with the HMs and then says the famous line
• Ad break - evicted HM can chat with Mel/ producers and be hooked up with a mic
• comes back from break, Mel welcomes the HM, looks at public tally and who nominated them, chats about time in house
• Look back at time in the house then the BB 10 questions
• Mel updates on the week ahead and say goodnight.

All of that could be done in 30 minutes, won't drag out like some of the OG eviction shows.

 

[Brekkie]

I don't think the live portion needs to be much more than half an hour for a single eviction but with there being two days of highlights you need anything hour for that really.

Also don't think we're really that interested in what evictees have to say compared to the early years - TBH with these three a couple of minutes is probably 90 seconds too much.
