I would argue this would lead to really interesting moments in the series, it wouldn’t be Big Brother without something going wrong, its what sets it apart from other reality shows

Speaking of yelling over the wall here’s an interesting look at the extensive history BBUS has had with both banner planes and people yelling over the wall. Also don’t discount the show as being just Survivor in a house as this phenomenon was also present in the original format.

The Finnish reboot filmed at a shopping center, yeah. The house was on the upper floor with the garden and task area being on the roof of the building. So it was elevated from the main entrance of the shopping center, which probably helped with preventing shouting from the ground, but it was still not protected from the public.. If I remember correctly, there were some car parks next to the outside area or whatever, so you could get pretty close to the housemates.
They haven't had any way for viewers to tour the camera runs though.. but production (at least initially) utilised the location decently with the main draw being that housemates were actually able to go inside the shopping center (after hours of course) to do their weekly shopping there.
I've once done a studio tour and some shopping channel has featured something like this as well: You were able to go through a camera run and watch them filming their sales pitches. You didn't hear anything though. They very extremely worried that people would knock the window or make any noises though.. so before you entered the building, the tour guide reminded you to stay quiet, don't knock on anything and to stay behind a line. They also made sure that you stay behind the line.
That would probably be the main issue for Big Brother as well.. people making noises to draw attention from housemates. But I like the concept as well.. first you watch the tigers from behind a glass wall, then the housemates. It's the human zoo the media (at least in Europe) has always talked about in the early days of the show.
Yeah, wall shouting happened pretty much everywhere in Europe as well.. with the wildest act probably happening during the very first season in the Netherlands. A TV host from a revival channel was parachuting into the Big Brother house. He himself missed, but his colleague landed inside the house.
I think that's still a a bit of a security issue for the show today: People trying to get into the house for clout. Not so much from rival channels anymore, but social media. I think it happened during the later run of BBUK on Channel 5, when some influencers broke into the house.
oh I could imagine an awesome big brother / urban survivor type show being filmed in a run down abandoned shopping centre

You might want to check out "I Survived a Zombie Apocalypse".. it's not really Big Brother nor Survivor but it was filmed in an actual abandoned shopping center in the UK.
It's more current than ever these days, too, since iirc it was 5G that caused the zombie outbreak on that show...
Ohhh thanks will do

Public tours through the camera runs during production would be a bit of a nightmare I'd imagine. The runs aren't huge, they're dark, and the crew are going to be working.
Either way, I'm sure any "attraction" feature with the house will boost interest. I would imagine Dreamworld would open the house to tours again when shooting isn't happening.

Yeah, that's never gonna happen. If they'll even do something like this it will be (like in the studio tour I mentioned) a separate camera run where you can peak inside the house and have a bit of a distance to the final barrier.

What about an underground house
No noise to disturb - No spying... no Escape
No worries of Skin cancer from lazing in the sun
And don't forget, there is a big island in the middle of a lake inside the park (not serious - its too small and would destroy too much vegetation)

Does anyone live near by, what is happening at the dirt lot, maybe they are bringing in a house built offsite in pieces. I feel like they are running out of time. I would be disappointed if the house is in the exhibition centre, I suppose we are never going to get the magic back of the original years

They have at the very least 6 weeks to have everything sorted, housemates selected and have stand ins to do rehearsals for the house cameras, etc. In the grand scheme of things, 6 weeks really isn't a lot of time, so I'd hope that they're well on track.
It wouldn't surprise me if they're not far off from finishing it, and the stuff they're showing were photos taken weeks ago.
Yes, a multimillion dollar company who has decades of knowledge and experience in producing this show, and television in general, locally and around the globe totally didn’t think things through. You’re so right.
FYI: Posts about the BB house build in the Dreamworld Exhibition Centre have been moved to a brand new thread with a more appropriate title. Please continue discussions there.

Now that we know where in Dreamworld this year's house will be, there is not much more to speculate regarding the location. This thread is now closed.
