BBAus is back later this year for a seventh series and i thought i make a thread to discuss all the rumors that will be popping up soon and a thread to discuss BBAUS in general.

The open auditions for BB7 have closed and the 7th series is due to start in mid April.

Last year the series ran for 101 Days, had 23 housemates and the most boring winner ever - Jamie. BB6 was named 'boring' and 'predictable' by some of the big BB fans in Aussie and many believed it didn’t live up to BB5 in 2005.

Some little bits you may want to know if you have never seen BB Aus:
- Intruders
People who enter the house late into the game are known as Intruders until they are eligible to nominate and be nominated. In the past two years there has been a Intruder Eviction - At Intruder Evictions the Intruders face eviction and the housemates decide who goes.
- Prize Money
In Series 1-3 the prize money was $250,000 but in 2004 they upped the prize fund to $1,000,000.
- Fines
Big Brother 2005 introduced a fines system in which the $1,000,000 cash prize is decreased by $5,000 each time a housemates violates a Big Brother rule. Various things Housemates can be fined for include:
Speaking without a microphone
Speaking in a language other than English (or in code)
Discussing the pre-production process, including auditions
Speaking about Nominations, including who a housemate had nominated after the nominations have been revealed or after eviction
Speaking about previous series; previous housemates; or Big Brother series of other countries, past or present
Not following Big Brother's instructions
Writing
Singing commercial songs
Attempting to contact the outside world
Speaking over Big Brother
Not referring to Big Brother as Big Brother
- Punishment Room
This was introduced in 2006. Housemates have often been sent after receiving their $5,000 fine from Big Brother. Punishment included having to stare at a red dot until big brother says you can stop. You if looked away from it you lost another $5,000.
- Nominations
In Aus they you a point system. They nominate one person for 1 point and one person for 2 point. The 3 or more people with the most votes face eviction.
- 3 Point Twist
Every Friday night housemates compete to win HoH. The winner gets the use the 3 Point Twist. This allows them to deduct 3 nomination points from one of the nominated housemates.
