Mike Goldman to host online spin off The Big Bro Show

Disagree completely. I think Mike Goldman is terrible in any capacity. Sick of him being involved in Big Brother and ruining it every time. They need to revamp it, not make it the old failure it was.

Im interested in your opinion. I have a laymans perspective at best on these matters.
Goldman to me was fine in the yesteryear but his continued petitoning and desperation over the years to be involved in anything bb is a tad worrying for me. Like someone who yearns for the glory of the past. I dont think he is particularly better placed or more adept to do the job due to past glories.
Thoughts?

Big Bro Show - Mike Goldman
Yes, I’m very excited about my new show! Not just because I’m in it, because I am shooting it from my house. Seriously. So cool! Thank YOU COVID 19. Never thought I’d say that. I’ve been part of the Big Bro furniture since 2001, so I’m not sure whether that shows how valuable I am … Continue...

Believe me I'm personally with you on Mike Goldman and think it's right the main show has moved on, but I think as the show is struggling to engage with fans of the original run it is probably a smart move to involve him in this capacity at arms length.
I'm guessing here this show has been commissioned in response to the conditions surrounding COVID-19, almost certainly as a replacement for Eye Spy. If it works fine, if it doesn't - or they realise Mike isn't the BB god he thinks he is, they just replace him next year - assuming the main show makes it that far.

Mike Goldman – Voiceover Artist Mike Goldman’s signature Aussie TV-style narrations have been taking social media by storm, amassing over 200,000 followers and racking up more than 100 million views. In 2025, Mike stars in Zombie Plane alongside Sophie Monk, Vanilla Ice, and Luke Hemsworth. He...
So, Mike seems to have all but confirmed that the first episode will go live on Monday (presumably following Launch). I wonder if this will be a weekly thing or scheduled after every episode.
It's also interesting to note that The Big Bro Show seems very separate from the production of the actual series. After looking into it and reading some of Mike's comments on his page, I get the feeling this might've been a concept pitched by Mike to keep himself involved with the show, produced in a similar way to his podcast, and Seven have only agreed to let him use the 7News website as a platform to stream it from. (Perhaps they see some potential by promoting it?)
I don't believe it's officially affiliated at all. I was watching the now deleted promo again and I realised it almost looks self-made. A quick glance at the "official" Big Bro Show Facebook page also confuses me a lot.

Could be shades of Roy & HG's The Dream ? If so, I totally approve.
I don’t think there is an official Facebook page.
If you’re talking about this one: https://www.facebook.com/TheBigBroShow/
I think it’s run by the same lady who has the page ‘Big Brother Australia Mega Fans’ https://www.facebook.com/BBAU2020/
Yeah, hence the quotations. It definitely looks shonky af and the posts have zero credibility. But they've set themselves up to appear as "the" page for the show and keep referring to themselves as such in various comments on both the BBAU and Mike Goldman pages, of whom the latter has been conversing with quite a bit. So that's why I'm confused. Perhaps somebody just has far too much time on their hands? lol.
Either way, BBS is a Mike Goldman production, not a Seven one:
She is a huge Mike fan and is always commenting on his stuff.
I would have thought that we would have heard something more about it if it was still happening, by now. It is weird that the Big Bro Show is not on 7Plus
I think one of the Sonia interviews last week said she was filming bits for Eye Spy.
Episode Zero is up. He basically just recaps the housemate profiles. And has a short interview with Sonia. No new info.
