Subject: Big Brother
Written By: Philip Eno on 09/14/18 at 8:07 am
The makers of Big Brother have announced that the show is being axed at the end of the current series. Big Brother's Twitter account shared the news that the 19th series, launching on Friday night, would be the last. Channel 5 confirmed Celebrity Big Brother was also ending. The show first appeared on screens in 2000 and was extremely popular, but viewing figures have dwindled in recent years.

With the celebrity shows I was disappointed with them, seeing too much of (some) stars made me turn off the television.

I watched the US vs UK one and it was so bad I couldn't stop watching.

There were arguments, even fisticuffs at one stage, I believe.

The US version will likely return, albeit without Julie Chen.

This is all part of The Cancel Culture. BB’s host, the Chenbot, has been “canceled” due to allegations against the hubs, Les Moonves. :-\\
Subject: Big Brother (in Germany) cast to be told about virus live on TV
Written By: Philip Eno on 03/17/20 at 5:58 am
It's been more than a month since the majority of Germany's Big Brother contestants entered the house. In early February the first cases of coronavirus outside of Wuhan were just being reported. Now Germany has close to 7,000 confirmed infections, with 14 deaths - but the housemates have no idea a global pandemic has been declared. They'll finally be informed on Tuesday night in a live TV special, after "consultation with relatives".

Ooo, now this is good television. The Big Brother contestants wondering why they couldn't hear the audience after a contestant was evicted. Someone figured "they made it sound proof". In reality, they stopped doing live audiences.

... and now whats happens?
Channel 4's programming boss has said the return of Big Brother to screens on ITV2 is part of a "depressing" moment when old TV hits are being "reheated".
The reality show first aired on Channel 4 in 2000 before moving to Channel 5, and will be revived by ITV next year.
