Big Brother uncut material back for Big Mouth

Big Brother has confirmed its Big Mouth edition will incorporate the racy material it once screened in Uncut.

Promising "nothing will be off limits" the show is hosted by Tony Squires and Rebecca Wilson. There will be former housemates and guests including Tim Brunero (BB 2005) and Paul Dyer (BB 2004).

TEN says with it's MA15+ classification and where "editorially justified" it will utilise unseen footage from the house and be a forum for adult content to be discussed openly. "Exclusive scenes, access all areas, dissing the dirt on the housemates, the good, the bad and the ugly, no topic will be too hot to handle for the Big Mouth panel." Write that down now in case they ever avoid a subject, folks!

Uncut and Up Late are not returning in previous formats.

Meanwhile the first Sunday (May 4) edition of BB is billed as a 'Special Presentation.' TEN says "Is Big Brother set to shake the housemates out of their comfort zones? Who will be eliminated tonight? Big Brother always has a twist in store...."

Traditionally the first eviction has been the second Sunday of the series, allowing the housemates to nominate on the second Monday (likely May 5).

I'm excited about this new season. From everything i've heard about it, it seems like it's going to be good. I love the new promo!

**Guinevere** · 04-20-2008, 01:15 AM

Its gonna be different, thats for sure. And it makes me really excited.

*Erin* · 04-20-2008, 04:41 AM

Did everyone see the sneak peak on SYTYCD tonght? it was a 52 year old, grandmother! Looks to be an interesting season!

**Guinevere** · 04-22-2008, 04:22 AM

I saw that!

I don't think we've had anyone in that age group on the show before.. Its good though that they are having more mature age people, and not young people which gets old.

Big Brother to give power back to public

Quote:

Big Brother is giving the power back to the public to decide who is evicted each week in a bid to boost its dwindling ratings.

And latest evictee Dixie Crawford says it's a step in the right direction.

Amid a raft of changes this year on the Network Ten show, housemates - rather than the public - have had the final say about who leaves the house.

But the move divided fans.

Despite voting herself out on Sunday night, Crawford said on Monday it would make it more fair.

"It's good to go back to that because the most popular housemates out here in the world - Brigitte, Terri and Travis - they're not the most popular housemates in the house," she said.

Returning to the old style is also expected to add some colour to the show as nominees sweat all week over which housemates put them up.

Dixie, the first Aboriginal contestant, said she felt homesick in the show.

The 21-year-old from Dubbo said it was challenging coming up against Pauline Hanson supporter, 52-year-old grandmother Terri, who she described as "ignorant".

"I found her to be a little bit too set in her ways, she could've eased up and kind of looked at the world through some different eyes," Crawford said.

"But she's lived her life, she's got kids and grandkids, so what's she going to learn from a 21-year-old?

"She's definitely entitled to her opinion and so is Pauline Hanson. I just don't have the same."

For now, Dixie is concentrating on going back to uni, where she is studying mental health.

She's also working up the guts to confront a guy who she has feelings for.

"I have a bit of a crush, and I'm going to chase that up and see what I can do," she said.

"There's no guarantees but see what happens."

I admit, i'm not into this years.. as much as previous. I'm not sure why, just something that isn't connecting me to anyone
