Because you would think it would go to Foxtel.
Money talks though - Paramount must’ve offered them a too good of a deal to ignore

Wouldn’t that be Disney + or a Seven platform?

Fox Entertainment does not equal Foxtel.
Fox Corporation Fox Corporation - Wikipedia, spun out of what was left of 21st Century Fox after Disney swallowed up a chunk of their assets, owns Fox entertainment including the Fox (US) stations that this was made for.
Disney has nothing to do with this ‘new’ Fox, and neither does Foxtel really (aside from the Murdoch ownership) which falls under News Corp News Corp - Wikipedia

This does sound right up my alley.
See I wasn’t going to watch it (cos I thought from the promos that it looked cheap and tacky) but I was at a friend’s place this weekend who insisted that I stayed and watched the first episode with them. I’m now 4 episodes in and loving it. I think it’s one of the better Aussie reality shows. Every episode so far has just gotten better and better.
I like the slow pace. It feels more old school reality where you get to know the contestants. I can see why it wouldn’t work on FTA for that reason. The casting is very different to typical reality shows these days too. I feel fully invested in this now and can’t wait to see how it plays out.
