No Big Brother on Friday, Sunday.

What the hell I haven't been paying attention and just assumed it would be on at least tonight, this is just dumb. A 20 year old James Bond movie (while awesome) can wait...
 
I found last week really annoying. It was too long a gap and I almost stopped caring. Then the monday show was too long.

So just to put things in perspective, BB rated 144k higher in total viewers last week and was number 3 in 18-49s and number 1 in 16-39s, while Goldeneye didnt make the top 5 in any demos. Nine's channel percentage also fell by 1.4% and was within 2% of getting beaten by channel Ten. Was it a coincidence that the Living Room on Ten increased by nearly 100k compared to when BB was in the same timeslot last week? I think not!!

If Nine were smart they would reinstate BB for next Friday and extend it to go for an hour.

Thanks for looking into the Goldeneye figures, folks.

Channel Nine needs to eat a big bowl of dicks.

I've noticed that Channel 9 doesn't know how to present the show. As a BBUS viewer, the US version has always been 3 shows, with the after dark show..no complaints and the Show is heading into its 17 season. CBS has never had a problem because the format has stayed the same...giving too much footage is overkill in my opinion and then when the footage isnt there, fans lose?interest. Channel 9 make up your mind. Also, I rather have a comp-based BB than just a social-BB like this series. It makes it more fun and more drama comes of it. I've had enough of these tasks.

There's no complaints because they aren't used to anything different. The audience are used to being treated like crap, paying a large amount for a live feed that has long blackouts and makes people wait days to actually see the all important competitions. They've even had weekend blackouts, and they don't have stuff live on the 'live' shows either. Also having episodes full of montages or recaps of what happened earlier.

See, these are the kind of horror stories you'd imagine when they announced that BB was returning on Nine a couple of years ago. Just continuous butchering of a format that they don't understand.

It's the same with what happened with Channel 5 in the UK, spookily similar. It's just going low budget.
 
As much as I hate to say it I doubt very much if BB will be on anymore and that includes other networks taking it on too

I think there's a chance Ten may take it back, and I'm not just saying that because I sincerely hope so, but I think with the success of The Bachelor and the revenue of the show and media attention, they may just take a gamble on Big Brother in 2016 on a two year contract and see how it goes. Maybe they'll throw Carrie Bickmore into the host position, and hope that it works better than it did for SYTYCD.
 
Does anyone have any idea how much this show costs to make? Big brother U.S. is fine because it produces so many hours of content for the cost. I think this season of BB Australia is looking pretty inexpensive, other than the cost for the house.
So maybe if it doesn't cost that much to make, they will keep it. It does seem to have a teen audience, but most of the teens I know don't watch tv much. They are all watching YouTube shows or Netflix or whatever. Most college kids I know save money by not even having cable tv and just spending on fast Wi-Fi.
