What about the presenter (who lacks any kind of authority)?
I'm okay with her, she isn't that great of a presenter/host but she doesn't rub me the wrong way, or annoy me that much... and i like that she's cheesy. She doesn't really overpower the position with her own personality to where it's more about her, which i like. It's the opposite of Gretel who overpowered and brought too much of herself to it.... it would be great to reach a middle area between the two but i'm fine with Sonia for now.

I don't like cheesiness, too much for kiddies. And I think Sonia does make it about her in a way with all her smirking. I thought Gretel was ok, it was still about the HMs. The strength in the Australian one is more the casting which tends to have more likeable people than the British version, it's just not as negative. The American version is more positive than the British one as well.

Can't view the trailer anymore but am excited now we have an actual start date too. Although, as I said before, I'm away that week, so will have to catch up when I get back on the 13th.

Hopefully someone posts another version if it exists. I really liked the trailer, perhaps hinting at the twist

I saw the beginning of last years BB AUS but couldn't keep up with it. Wasn't keen on Tim but wasn't surprised he won. I do want to follow it again this year if I can, quite looking forward to Sept 8th!

Ah, thanks for that. I'll bookmark them, sometimes I was waiting ages for Youtube uploads last year. After a nominations or eviction show, I'm psychotically trying to find the episode before I accidentally get the results spoiled.

Also it seems not all the housemates are going in on the 7th.

The live show on the 9th apparently has more going in*, as being billed as 'The Storm arrives' or WTTE.

* Though it's possible they're going in is pre-recorded on the 8th.

They messed about with the format last year including the live feed.
If you have watched all seasons of BBAUS you can see they have made massive format changes over the years.

yes i know but i don't think they are anywhere near as bad as bbuk

i feel the bbaus show resembles more of the old bbuk for me even without live feed
lets face it live feed is not the only problem that needs resolving with bbuk
and even I'm prepared and looking forward to watching bbaus again but did not watch any of bbuk this year

If you want me to be honest,yes I prefer BBAUS but trust me over in Australia it gets as much criticism as our one does here.

It makes a huge difference when you have the live feed in Australia because the show is aimed at a family slot in programming.
Theres 2 ways of looking at it.
Yes you like the fact that they are not allowed to swear,speak against anyones faith,sexuality,race etc.
The counter point to that is your not seeing the housemates how they really are warts n all.

I like BBUSA,BBAUS and BBUK because they are all quite different.

This year we have had a terrible series but I like to think of that as a one off,in fact I think we have also had a terrible BBUSA due to format changes that havent worked but again I think the double HoH is a one off.
I loved BBUK last year and the reason I refuse to attack C5 is because I watched 5 series of BB on CH4 BB8-Ultimate BB and I found them to be the worst series in a row so the UK show has had some work to do to get it back on track for me,last year it was getting there but this year was a fail.

Im already dissapointed with BBAUS this year as its almost a month short ( only 80days ) which means I doubt they will have intruders in the house which I always welcome.
Sounds like cutting back yet the campaign looks expensive so I will as always go into it with an open mind..I need to watch a good BB this year and Im sure BBAUS will be the one.
Real shame that they have removed live feed and no longer have an uncut show so we can see what they are really getting up to in the house.
Looking forward to it though.
