Mel Tracina on the Return of Big Brother Uncut
Channel 10 is bringing back the early 2000s vibe with the new season of Big Brother. The iconic house has returned to Dreamworld, where the first 11 seasons aired from 2001 to 2014.
Back to the Original Setting
Mel Tracina, the new host of Channel 10’s Big Brother, emphasized the significance of the location.
“The Big Brother house is synonymous with Dreamworld, so bringing the OG format to its OG location feels right,”
she told news.com.au. The show is going back to basics with live nominations and evictions.
Will Big Brother Uncut Return?
The popular adults-only spin-off, Big Brother Uncut, aired during the first six seasons, but Tracina confirmed there will be no return this year.
“This year there’s no return of Big Brother Up Late (or Uncut),”
she said. “We’re keeping it PG.”
Live Streaming with Moderation
Viewers will have access to a 24/7 live stream from the house, though the content will be monitored to meet broadcast standards.
“Again, that will be moderated to make sure that everything we broadcast is up to broadcast standards,”
Tracina added, which may disappoint many longtime fans who remember the more risqué streams from earlier seasons.
Author's summary
The new season of Big Brother returns to its Dreamworld roots with live broadcasts but will keep content family-friendly, ruling out the adults-only Uncut edition.
