Big Brother

Television Ten Network

Sarah Thornton is Network Ten EP. The Endemol Shine Big Brother EP has never worked on The Project (to my knowledge).

A show of this scale would have a lot of Network input.

Here’s a screenshot from the credits of the 2007 Launch of Big Brother, sourced from the official stream on Big Brother’s channel. Tim Toni and Kris Noble are the executive producers from Endemol Southern Star, as it was known at the time. Chris Blackburn and Cathie Scott are installed by Ten to oversee production on behalf of the network.

As an aside, 2007 is the only season, to my knowledge, that has had dual executive producers from the production side. After what happened in 2006, they demoted Kris Noble and brought in Tim Toni to help fix their issues.

You’ve ruined it Ten. You’ve absolutely ruined it. :sob:

Ten has a habit of adding 5-second bumpers for a new show/season at the start before airing one of their extended promo inserts. But I will say for a show like BB, this latest stunt has gone terribly wrong.

Inserting the BB 5-sec bumper before inserting a promo of another show with BB basically hacking into that other show’s promo? Not good enough Ten.

Again, you’ve ruined a potentially perfect opportunity to capitalise on let’s say a DoND or Your Gen fan wanting to get a taste of what’s going to happen in the next episode and replace it with an iconic Aussie instalment of a show from 2001. Yep, 2001. The very year BBAU began, on Network 10.[1]

  1. Hope this makes it onto TVBlackbox. :wink: ↩︎

I feel like Big Brother could do well for 10. Only major competition reality tv wise is Golden Bachelor. I think coming into the silly season it could be light, relaxing family viewing that engages nostalgic old fans and a new generation of young viewers if 10 pull it off

Disagree entirely. This is the best marketing campaign we have ever seen from BB. I LOVE the fact he is taking over the airways! So on brand!

Day 2 of the BB final week ad campaign. Anything new happening or the same stuff we know of already?

i think that’s a bit of an over-reaction

yea it was a mistake, but don’t think it was intentional

personally, i love how hard they’re going in the promos now!

It will have the 2 semi finals and final of MKR to compete with too but after that it shouldn’t have any competition, apart from sport like Ashes

I took it as that poster being sarcastic. Is there really that many people interested in what’s coming up on Your Gen or Deal lol

I’m sure its sarcasm

There were ads running at Town Hall station in Sydney this morning that had the BB voice telling people to stand behind the yellow line and to make sure to tune in to 10 at 7pm on Sunday, which I thought was clever.

Kyle was sick for some of the hosting on the last season on Ten though he was present on the one with Pamela Anderson lol.

Saw that on the live stream damn that was cringey.

And he called Rima “the midget” :frowning:

I wonder if any stations on the Gold Coast have similar now!

That reminds me of the plasma screen in the wide TEN-10 Sydney newsroom in the background of the 2008-2011 frosted news set, they’d usually set it with the bulletin’s logo (like “Ten News At Five”) and would be seen behind the second/right-hand presenter, such as Deborah Knight or Brad McEwan. There was also a plasma that looked the same on the set, OTS, for that same presenter.

As for the network EP, did Tate depart? He was the long-time Ten reality/entertainment or OB EP going back to the OG BB and also did I’m A Celebrity.

I guess considering how stuck in the 20th century the Aussie commercial networks are when it comes to competing with each other (i.e. not sharing talent, petty scheduling moves) that the Aussie networks don’t advertise on their competition.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of NBC advertising on CBS, or ITV advertising on Channel 4, or Three advertising on TVNZ?? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

It’s not an Australian thing, it’s just not a thing.
