Hello, Behind BB Forums! Long time lurker, first time contributor!


I remember the days of “three is the magic number”, the BB06 teaser, and BB08’s “I don’t think so!” promos.
I have to say, watching Friday Night Live Games in the mid 2000s was an absolute ritual and obsession of mine growing up. Fridays after primary school were a Macca’s treat night for my older sisters and I, all the better with BB on.
And while I wasn’t glued to the Daily Shows mainly, the Ten News roundup of both national and worldwide events presented by Sandra Sully that occurred in the time since the housemates entered the house was always such a memorable moment of mine, amplified by that year’s winner being included in news updates. Nice that ‘I’m A Celeb’ continued the tradition, hope it returns in this revival!
It’s funny: when CBS acquired Network Ten/10 in 2017, we theorised over on MediaSpy the possibility of the format returning, taking inspiration from the USA version on CBS, and 24/7 live streaming on 10 All Access. It’s great that both 10 and EndemolShine Australia saw the potential with bringing it back with the mostly-OG format in mind!
I’ll have plenty more to say here, but as it’s only the mid-afternoon here in Perth, I’ll wait until after its aired.
Happy to be part of the discussion!
