Yep⌠agree.
I wonder if we will see the original format return to 10 in coming years.
At the rate theyâre axing shows. Iâd say itâs more likely 10 than other networks.

I have wondered if they remain under the paramount banner if they could somehow do a multi network deal for the franchise (cbs and then 10 for Australia) ? Surely itâs possible and cheaper?

Two underperforming shows arenât returning? I would have thought that was a good thing. If thereâs more, which there is rumored to be, then itâs not going to be anything thatâs doing good business.
Makes way for new or other ideas hopefully. The real test will be the reinvestment of whatever they save by not returning those shows into more content to replace it.
Not hard to see why it failed imo they killed it with a stupid romance concept which no one liked
Adults found it off putting
Teenagers found it awkward and embarrassing
Older generation found it obnoxious and annoying
Young kids didnât watch at all
They shouldâve sticked with the 2020 format it was perfect
Donât change whatâs not broken

Next year, 10 welcomes Big Brother home to the network that first introduced this reality TV juggernaut to Australian audiences.
Hosted by Mel Tracina, the resident cultural correspondent on The Cheap Seats, audiences can expect the authentic, OG show you fell in love with all those years ago, including live nominations, live evictions, a brand-new home, engaging housemates and non-stop hijinks.
Mel Tracina said: âI was one of the millions of Aussies captivated by Big Brother when it launched on Channel 10 in the early noughties.
âThe show has such a loyal and passionate fan base, and I am excited to help bring back the showâs original spirit (minus the flip phones and bum dancing).â
The lineup of housemates will include a fascinating cross-section of relatable, everyday Australians who audiences will be able to interact with in real time. This exciting Big Brother revival will launch across all Network 10 platforms in quarter four of 2025.
Daniel said: âBig Brother, the show that started it all, is coming back to 10 where it belongs. Itâll be bigger, better and bolder than ever before and we are thrilled to welcome Mel Tracina as host.
âWith 24-hour live streaming, live nominations and live evictions, viewers wonât dare miss a moment of the drama as it all unfolds in real time. Get ready Australia â Big Brother is watching.â

This is what the show shouldâve been under Sevenâs watch.
I really hope this pays off big time for 10.

I feel like it could be too soon. Big Brother name/brand has taken some damage. Iâm also not sure if Australian audiences will invest in a show like this anymore with so much time commitment required. Not even the UK do live nominations. I guess time will tell.
I do like Mel Tracina as the host choice though. Good to see her get her own hosting role.

Great opportunity for Mel Tracina for her first TV hosting role.
The press release says BB will launch across all Network 10 platforms in 2025. Does it means some BB content will be shown on 10 Bold and 10 Peach?

From some of the wording⌠it looks like its reserved at the back end of 2025.
Correct, it says fourth quarter 2025.
But still, could be too soon for viewers and not off-air long enough for demand to truly be there.
