Looks like this is going to be pre-recorded in November / December too
10 series takes a cautious approach with almost all of its reality series to be shot this year.

I never thought we’d see the day but I think we are witnessing the death of “Live TV” in Australia. COVID is being used as the excuse but I can’t see Networks wanting to go back. It will be easier for them to pre-record. And they seem to like it that way.
I really thought “I’m A Celeb” would be the exception to this pre-recording route we are heading towards. (Thought Big Brother would never be pre-recorded either but that happened)
Only reality show I can think of that is live now is “Love Island Australia” but next season could be decided to pre-record as well.
I can’t help but think I’m A Celeb will suffer for pre-recording. The public won’t be able to decide who participates in the Tucker Trials. The Campmates are going to vote each other out? We have all seen with Big Brother this year what happens when the cast gets to decide who gets booted. Becomes very predictable and anyone who doesn’t fit in the camp or is a troublemaker will be first to go.
I think Chris and Julia’s skits will be somewhat affected as well. They can’t really talk or make fun about “current events” and gauge what the public are thinking.
