So...Back in 2016?

The house will eventually be demolished for the project in the area, but I guess they have some arrangement with the developer to keep the compound intact for as long as possible. Does that mean it will ever be there again? Who knows? Depends on whether the two coincide.
The house isn't the show though and we know it's contents have almost been entirely stripped out and sold on, so even if it were to return to Dreamworld they'd have little more advantage than any other studios offering it a home.

A new network and a new location is probably just what the show really needs - the same show on Nine from Dreamworld doesn't really get my interest.

P.S. I guess with Ten now casting for next years Masterchef that Masterchef has now outlived the original run of Big Brother. Who'd have thought that was going to happen back in 2009?

Except, you know, the big sponsorship money they throw at it. There would be no reason for a purpose built studio to throw that same amount of money at them.
 
Other sponsors could take the opportunity - I doubt there is much value nowadays to Dreamworld in sponsoring Big Brother.

Dreamworld are getting plenty of free advertising here though! They (I won't mention their name again) must be laughing their arses off at how may times their name is mentioned in these forums....we should all be getting commissions..:greedy:

AMBI PUR :/
Sadly, Ambi Pur was the best moment of BB2014. When they had that relaxation room setup in the task room, they literally plugged Ambi Pur by having a 5-7 second shot of an Ambi Pur unit plugged into the wall.

What made it so great is they clearly sent a camera operator into the room when housemates weren't in there JUST to get the shot since it was filmed without having the camera looking down at the unit - so it wasn't filmed from the camera run. The camera was perfectly level with the socket on the wall.

They'd get it without paying for it though as the show is so linked with Big Brother that even if it's filmed elsewhere viewers would still be reminded of Dreamworld just from the show being on air.

I was hoping they were going to put an Ambi Pur in the soundproof nominations booth

Imagine that

Ambi Pur gas chamber
 
How about the Sydney Crown Casino!....if it ever gets built that is. Big Brother could occupy the top four levels which are tipped to be some sort of villa...think they are calling the top 3 or 4 levels a "Sky Villa" and then a "Super Villa" below it on the next level. Could all be sponsored by the ATO!....Imagine the tax write-offs after the housemates get through destroying the place.....I'm sure James Packer would be up for that.....:rolleyes:
 
As I recall, the Dolmio Grin ads were in overdrive during at least one Channel Ten season - especially if you tried to watch the live feed (remember that?) Not sure if the product ever made it into product placement in the house though.
 
Yeah here are two recent aerial photos taken. Not sure which was taken first though.

Here's a before and after from Nearmap (note: closer zoom levels are not available without subscribing). It does appear the compound itself is still there along with a small windbreak of bush. But for how long, who knows?

So has the house demolition actually been verified?
Doesn't really matter. I can literally see the house from the road leading to Coomera train station now so there is no way it will be used again for BB. I know not all BB fans feel this way but for me and many others BBAU will never quite be the same if it isn't at Dreamworld. That doesn't mean we won't really enjoy the show but there will always be something missing. There was something special about housemates entering the house each year and as a viewer knowing that these new housemates were standing in the exact area that all the previous BB housemates had stood in their respective series. One of the only things that felt truly "BBAU" when the show was revived on Channel 9 was the fact that the show was still located at Dreamworld and you could see the Tower of Terror in the background like you could way back in season 1...

The other thing that really hit home driving past and seeing the house was the fact that I always use to drive past and just see all these trees/a massive forest and I knew that the BB house was located in there among all those trees but I didn't quite no where exactly and that added to the illusion that the BB house is some type of magical dreamland. Seeing the house out of it's obscurity with all the trees knocked down was like seeing behind the curtain of the Wizard of Oz:(:(
