Forty two cameras and 108 microphones will capture every moment of the 14 Housemates as they embark on a social competition before the nation.

More than 20,000 people around the country auditioned for this series of Big Brother, with Housemates chosen from New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia.

The Big Brother House has been fully redesigned and refurbished taking on the theme of “Past, Present and Future.”

Big Brother Housemates will share communal living, eating, sleeping and bathing areas in the 42 metre by 55 metre complex, which includes the infamous Big Brother Diary Room.

Filmed at Dreamworld on Queensland’s Gold Coast, Big Brother employs 300 staff and seven kilometres of cable runs between the production control room and the
Big Brother House. Approximately 4,368 hours of footage will be recorded each week from which producers will have just 12 hours to compile a daily program.

A mammoth undertaking by the Nine Network, Big Brother will also offer viewers daily in-depth updates and features via the official internet site www.bigbrother.com.au, Facebook – www.facebook.com/BigBrotherAu and Twitter @BBAU9.

Dreamworld expects a combined total of more than 40,000 people will tour the production site and attend the live programs. Tickets for the site tour and live shows are available through Ticketek- www.ticketek.com.au.

    Getting excited!!

    Question: How long does the Sunday night show go for?
    Also, why on earth would they put the daily show on GO? Is it like one of those shows that’s not that important to watch?

      I believe an hour.

    • Loz

      I think its only the Sunday show is on GO because on 9 they have 60 mins that I guess they just won’t move the time or something.

    Question: Do you know if Big Brother Friday Night Games is returning this year, and if when? And also when is Big Brother UpLate! returning and at what time? Thanks!!!

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100003368455102 Courtney Lewdon

      Friday Night Live is not returning this year. Big Brother: UpLate is also not returning. Nine has promised a 9PM highlights show, however this hasn’t been scheduled for the first few weeks.

      • Loz

        There are the other negatives…. Friday night live was always so much fun to watch I wish they would bring that back too…. I don’t really mind about uplate cos I didn’t watch it all the time but I still think this could be brought back as well. I hope this is going to work but suddenly feel like we are just going to be watching famliy friendly stuff only which is not the point of the show.

          I agree that Uplate was fun but I definitely didn’t like FNL. Personally the whole family friendly thing is what’s making me watch it! Makes it more ratings friendly for the whole family! We have enough angst in our lives, we don’t need to see a bunch of idiots running around! I want love! xxxxx

    Is the highlights show a highlight of the 7pm daily show, or is it a New separate highlight show?
