Sonia Kruger drops info about BBAUS Format

[Morgan.]

So we kinda knew it was North American format, but it’s played slightly different.

She’s said that a huge competiton will determine the HouseGuest who can nominate each week, and they nominate 3 for eviction. The other HouseGuests evict one of the three. For the finale, the public will choose the winner.

She’s also mentioned that because of the corona virus, it was a ‘compressed’ season so she was actually on set filming every day for the second half :skull:

[Morgan.]

Age range is 19-62

[Morgan.]

There’s supposedly not a single typical reality show stereotype there, they’re all very unique characters.

Was she in charge of operating the cameras on eviction nights by any chance

[Oliver_W]

Sounds all right :) I like Sonia, she's charismatic as hell <3

[Marsh.]

They've pre-recorded it all? :skull:

Nobody asked.

Yep, it started filming in Late Feb/Early March I do believe. I think it’s the first ever prerecorded Big Brother.

And the downside to this is that somebody forgot to turn the camera on for an eviction show, so sent the HouseGuest back in and re-filmed the eviction.

The first (and only) edition of Big Brother China was pre-recorded between 7th - 19th September 2015 and then streamed later twice a week from 21st November, with a live final - so this sounds like they've taken on that same format.

I cannot wait for BBAU! I always loved their seasons. Can't wait to see how it turns out and who will be the aussie eye candy this year. There's usually one :joker:

[Marsh.]

They've changed the BB voice?

CANCELLED.

[LukeB]

They've changed the BB voice?

CANCELLED.

D:D:D:D:

[Coldwinter]

CANCELLED.

Marsh, they used to do that for BBAU. Their first executive producer was the voice of BB for the first 3 seasons (and CBB), and then their second executive producer was the voice of BB from BB4-BB7, then Leon Murray took over as the voice from BB8-BB11. So it's not uncommon for other BBs to do this.

Heck, I swear I heard something about one of the other European BBs switching their BB voice to a female voice.

I know they do. I'm saying I don't like the new one.

Wait, they've nixed "housemate" and adopted the "HouseGuest" title?! :mad:
