Their story is spin and trying to minimise the perception of the story.
They are painting it as just nudes but anyone who has seen the pics knows it’s more. It’s a clever play by them.
They’ll be lapping up any publicity this turkey of a show can get.
Someone at work said today they’re looking forward to it and I said it’s pre-recorded and packaged and like survivor with challenges. They said ok then I won’t be watching it and it sounds like shit. Hopefully it flops.

Yeah, a PR offensive. “There’s an explanation… he was only 20.” So? Even though the viewers or people here aren’t concerned, clearly 7 are.

Don’t say Turkey and Big Brother together please. It brings back bad memories.

Yep, we’re talking about the same network which has edited out same sex kiss scenes from the local airings of Home & Away.

Name: Zoe
Age: 39
Location: Melbourne, VIC
Occupation: Woodwork Teacher
Relationship Status: Married mother-of-two
Big Brother has chosen woodwork teacher Zoe to be one of his 20 Housemates
Zoe is a lifestyle blogger and secondary school woodwork teacher.
Subtle as a brick to the face, the 39-year-old loves nothing more than chatting about all those taboo subjects that come with being a wife and mother of two kids under six.
Well I think there’s a big proportion of the population who’ve just found a reason to watch the show

NSFW does not mean NSW.
What is so disgusting?
What makes masturbating so disgusting?
Take it as a compliment. It means people are reading your stories… But to be honest I don’t think it is a big deal either. Who doesn’t masturbate and take nudes at his age now, especially when you look as good as him?
I also find it hard to believe 7 don’t know about the nudes. Endemol ask whether they have a past and whether something like this could come out. So I would believe that they would have known about these photos.

What conversation?
I got distracted by the pics

Doesn’t mean the applicant/contestant is necessarily going to disclose it. Even though I’m sure they’re made aware of the possible consequences for not disclosing.

In this case he should have disclosed his porn nudies for the good of the nation.
I can’t see this gaining the show any more viewers - there’s nothing more to be seen especially in this watered down 20 episode corruption of the format. I think it will have the opposite effect. Not a good look for a family network.

And that will hopefully let them consider some fresher formats and programming. Like The Circle
I think that TvBlackbox article is much more inappropriate than anything the housemate has done. Slut shaming him, suggesting he has some kind of moral obligation to declare this stuff, and comparing it to Ben Ungermann.

Lots of buzz going on in this thread, isn’t that what Big Brother is all about?
Perhaps this is all part of 7’s strategy? Very reminiscent of the raunchiness featured in early seasons of BB.

It does seem like it but who knows how it will turn out amongst the general public. It might positively influence the ratings or it could be detrimental. No doubt Seven would be crossing their fingers that this publicity will help the show.
So they were all so close to getting the 10 format but then cheapened out on the live and interactive aspect. Very weird.

The whole Blackbox website is just a joke at this point. And this hysteria over a nothing story just continues to reiterate that.
