Channel 10 is bringing back the feel of the early 2000s with the new season of Big Brother. The show returns to its original location at Dreamworld, where the first 11 seasons were filmed from 2001 to 2014.
“The Big Brother house is synonymous with Dreamworld, so bringing the OG format to its OG location feels right,” said new host Mel Tracina.
Mel Tracina, a Nova radio personality, explained the series is returning to basics, featuring live nominations and live evictions. Many fans wonder if the adults-only version, known as Big Brother Uncut, will also return.
“This year there’s no return of Big Brother Up Late (or Uncut),” Tracina said. “We’re keeping it PG.”
Viewers will have access to a 24/7 live stream of the house, but it will be moderated to ensure content meets broadcast standards.
“Again, that will be moderated to make sure that everything we broadcast is up to broadcast standards,” Tracina added.
This news will disappoint many Gen X and Millennial fans who remember sneaking glimpses of the adults-only version, hoping for some late-night drama or nudity.
The new Big Brother season returns to its roots at Dreamworld with live events, but the adult-only version will not return, as the show remains strictly PG and moderated.
