So I was listening to the radio earlier tonight, B105, and they mentioned they'd interviewed a former Australia Big Brother voice over and said the interview can be found on their website. They didn't mention which seasons he was a BB for and I don't remember his name so I'm struggling to track down the interview. Does anyone know where we can find a list of previous BB voice overs or has anyone perhaps located this interview before?
It sounded pretty interesting!
 
B105 in Brissy spoke this morning to a former bb who worked from 06-08 about what happens in the house 12 hr shifts ect he also mentioned a former hm asked for a pregnancy test once, it never made it to air. He works for the station now.

Yeah that's the one! I'll see if I can find it. I heard that snippet but I want to hear the whole thing. Thank you

It really could have been anyone - there was at least 9 different rotating Big Brother voices between 2006 and 2008.

I'm pretty sure the HM who asked for the pregnancy was Reggie in 2003, and portions of those scenes were aired.
 
Woah that was really interesting. Awesome.

Cool to hear about how BB could never specifically refer to an incident so it makes the hm's feel like they're not being watched. Never thought about that.
 
There's been one main one that's been doing it the whole time. and a few others who had the graveyard shift from year to year

We've really had three eras of "main" voices. There's not been one voice doing it the whole time.

  • Peter Abbott (also EP): 2001 - 2003
  • Nick Colquhoun (evil BB): 2004 - 2007
  • Leon Murray (uplate editor in years before): 2008; 2012-2013

Nick is still the definitive BB for me in all respects: timbre of voice, pacing, emotional coldness. Current BBs sound as if tongue is firmly in cheek throughout and their normal voice pitch is far too high to be intimidating. The HMs are far too comfortable dealing with BB.

Could someone put links or pm me YouTube videos of each corresponding voice? I can't tell the difference at all in the Channel 10 days!

He tweeted the interview today and B105 retweeted it so that's how I found this.

Now that was one bloody interesting interview!

He seemed to have revealed quite a few insider details - and what interested me the most, but was not surprising, was that the sexual activity seemed to have escalated after Uncut was axed in 2006. Aaron alluded that sex actually happened after that - from what I understand, it would've had to have happened in either 2007 or 2008. It did surprise me though that there were apparently a few various hook-ups between HM's that we will never know ever happened due to Uncut's demise as well.

I like that they did bring to point about the current version of the show "editing out" the mature aspect of the HM's and how it doesn't adequately reflect today's true society too.

Thanks for posting - was a really good listen!

Hayley and Andrew had sex didn't they? No surprise considering they were a couple.
