Leon Murray (old voice of BB) fired at last minute

Most people involved with production where surprised Pete was given the role, so I’d agree it’s a step down and we should of gotten a upgrade

Yeah look they could have gone in a totally fresh direction. I wouldnt have minded.

Like when Nick Colquhoun started I didn't know of anything of him before (and I pretty much still don't- hes a mystery) but for them to tease Leon in the promos only for him not to be in the actual show and get replaced by one of his minions I find to be a downer.

Don’t forget that back in 2012 Nine did let Leon use the house to film a (mildly funny) promo for his VA work, selling himself as the voice of Big Brother. I don’t inherently see any issue with this

Agree with this. Regardless of feelings about the voice for the revival, anyone should be permitted to promote their job - if anything it’s in the show’s best interest for the added exposure.

Leon served his place back then and was perfect for the Nine era. I don’t agree that he should’ve been dismissed partly due to just wanting to put his name to the show, if that’s true.

This is a budget operation? Since when has Big Brother ever been a budget operation? Early series, I can understand, but now?

Budget is relative. I would guess that this season has been several times cheaper to produce than any of the Nine ones.

Majority of savings coming from the lack of a stage roof, of course 😁

Have you not been paying attention? Everything is cheap. The house, the stage, right down to the HMs' having to bring their own luggage. Not even a Channel 10 branded umbrella for Mel. As BB101 says, this is being made for a fraction of their OG budgets.

After all the hype this has gotten, I'm surprised it's being made that cheaply. At least give Mel a branded umbrella. Channel 10, Paramount, Banijay, anything.
 
At least technology is cheaper. They'd never have dreamed of HD remote-operated cameras throughout the house in 2001, when 40" plasma screens sold for $14k.

In all fairness they had remote operated cameras in 2001. Just bc the house can be 100% remotely operated doesn’t mean it should be. A new Panasonic UE160 is still $16k.

Remotely operated? I would think at this point, it could be remotely operated by AI.

Uh how would AI exactly manage that? The infrastructure to support that would be huge and it doesn’t exist. And also the humans that would lose their jobs?

This season has stupidly axed any manned cameras in favour of all hot head cameras controlled via the control room.

Maybe it was to save money and manpower

Owe you an apology for disagreeing with you on this pre-series. A mix of manned cameras and fixed could be used to at least try and throw HM’s off the fact that they’re being filmed. I was completely undercutting the fact that zoomers would be hyper aware of their environment.

They’ve already been playing up to them. They were speaking directly to them in some podcast game on the live feed yesterday.

Could never be mad at you @Kingston
 
I’m not entirely

I had hopes that hotheads wouldn’t be this bad but it’s partly the cast as well.

Turner on USBB a few years ago had a fun moment with the hothead that kept gesturing towards a plate of muffins while he was talking about stirring shit by eating “half of a half” while another housemate was going on a witch hunt trying to find who ate one of her muffins.

These boys are just peacocking and missing their adderall doses.
