Yes, I use AI. No, the arguments aren’t AI generated. I’m not lazy. I use it to organise my thoughts, not to come up with them.
The screenshot is from 2023. Same ideas, same voice. Just better structured. That’s the only difference.

Simple fact is.
All of the shows others list MAFS, Survivor, Masterchef, those shows run 90mins the nights they are on.
From a commercial standpoint running big brother 6 nights makes sense from a selling point to advertisers. If done how it was in the past, daily shows are 30mins and then the major shows an additional hour.
If 10 were to keep to this, it’s actually good for brands to advertise across the 6 days.
Name to me any shows that are tent pole aside from News and Current affairs that have 30mins in weeknights? None. That would be the stand out difference.
What people also don’t realise is the more live programming they do within the show, it actually ends up being cheaper to produce more of it per week than to have to go through post production.
The length of this return series will come down to multiple factors, budgets, talent, house location, scheduling for broadcast etc.
It’s interesting because a lot of arguments that I am seeing are “less is more and people are more accustomed to shorter runs”
Funnily enough that’s what 7 tried to do, cooked it and it died.
The Nine era had 90minute minimum daily shows which oversaturated the brand. 10 will need to look to prevent this. Less is more in this sense. Yeah I agree.
Personally I don’t think anyone attacking someone else for their opinion is fair, so let’s keep it civil.
Interesting you say this, yet you have people tuning into a movie length episode of most tentpole formats… multiple nights a week. Yes habits have changed, but really what’s being proposed would be shorter need for tuning in each night….
The big aspect this time around will be social media, streaming platforms and viewer interaction.

30 minutes feels too short. An hour gives it enough space without dragging.
No need for padded specials or twist nights. Just keep it clean. Daily shows, nominations, evictions, Uncut. Two or three nights might hit 90 minutes, but that’s it. The rest should stay sharp.
Ten weeks of that is totally manageable if they stick to the format and don’t overthink it.

They could also copy MAFS and have a dinner every week where they put down topics to stir up drama and conversation so people arent just sitting around.
Or perhaps they get told they have to hand over their social media accounts to the show and challanges will depend on what is posted which they will have no idea about. This would do a influencers head in not controlling their content.
And since they axed rhe traitors begore giving it a chance, maybe have an element of that in there too.

Big Brother used to have weekly dinners with submitted conversation topics. I remember it being nowhere as toxic as MAFS.

Were they Big Brother questions though? I imagine if they asked each HM to submit a question it could get interesting but I guess it depends on the HMs. Just don’t want another Trevor to win.

Friday Night Games always used to be a fun lighthearted show for the end of the week. Could be good for 10’s Friday schedule.

Yes! but no ‘Survivor’ style games during the rest of the week. That is NOT what BB was about.
No!
…and NO! Love The Traitors but NOT on BB!

just the element of some one or more conspiring against the others.
If my memory serves me correctly, this was part of the original show, even though they couldn’t disclose who they voted for. Just let this go back to what it originally was, an experiment of strangers living together, no competitions (Friday nights excepted), they vote, then we vote to decide who leaves etc. As @Kingston keeps saying let’s get back to the proper BB, not some American garbage version as shown on 7!

I agree. You could take that element of MAFS and have a weekly dinner nught. Mix of housemates submitting questions and even maybe 1 or 2 viewer questions, but it’s never made clear who has asked what. They are all just questions.
I think if its live evictions again we should vote who to save out of the 3.
I actually wouldn’t mind this dinner party idea as it is something used to kind of break the ice a bit in the early seasons. Give them a couple philosophical or reasonable political topics to discuss over a Sunday dinner. Get people talking and help the masks come down a bit. Don’t think it has to last but just the first couple weeks.

Exactly. Perfect way to stir the pot
That’ll be one expensive advertisement then!
No, you couldn’t conspire together against one person because that would be counted as discussing nominations. That rule is there specifically to prevent that and to not allow anyone to know who nominated who.
There was Michael in 2005(?) who was meant to sneakily do things to other housemates without being detected. Kind of like a mole.
First season back on Ten should be back to basics; strangers locked in a house away from the outside world, 24/7 live steaming, nominations on Monday and evictions on Sunday. No gimmicks, no artificial drama.
The dinner party idea goes against the idea of Big Brother in my opinion.

Except Big Brother did it first. A family dinner answering questions works but the questions need to come from each other rather than planted by producers.
