Big Brother Australia (premieres Aug. 13, 7PM local)

[MFWalkoff]

Official site: Reality TV Shows | Channel 9 | Big Brother Australia

First edition of BB in Australia in 4 years. The house is really nice, and the HGs so far are all funny and very friendly.

The game is structured like BBUK, and there are 6 highlight shows a week (no live feeds). The show airs Sun-Fri at 7PM local time, which is 5AM ET, 2AM PT. There are various after-shows that air on different days at different times (hard to pin down at the moment).

Episodes are currently available on a YouTube channel for people outside Australia who aren't awake at 5AM: BBAU00001 - YouTube

There is also a free TV streaming app for those who want to watch the show live; someone is running a channel dedicated to BB Australia: TVU networks - Live TV from around the world. Once installed, search for Channel 32017, "Timmyvision". It's usually a test pattern when the show isn't on live.

Anyone?

It's back? Nice I didn't even know.

As if there aren't enough BBs and Glass Houses going on at the moment...

Glass House sucks, IMO! This season of BB America isn't much better! BB UK 2012 was fun! Still not sure about BB AU! Waiting for Celebrity BB UK!

Thanks for the links MF. I'll try that streaming site.

This is my first time watching the Australian version of Big Brother. Do we have to put up with this host every single night? Or is it only on eviction night? I find her quite annoying!

[MFWalkoff]

Once all the housemates are in, my guess is she & the audience will only be around for eviction nights, like Brian/UK or Julie/US.

The episode airing live right now only has a male voiceover narrating things so far.

[Uncle David]

This is great! BB AU is available in the AM here in Vegas, and Celebrity BB UK will be available in the afternoon. Good-bye RHONY! Hello international BB!

There may be a problem with the Celebrity BB UK in that I won't have a clue as to the personas of the houseguests, yet, they'll be a foregone conclusion for the UK viewers.

Anyone who thinks that gays are monolithic need look no further than Scott from BB UK 2012 and Benjamin from BB AU 2012. What a study in contrasts. It seems Ben is 'Mean' Spice!

I saw about 15 minutes of this morning's episode before falling asleep, lol. I'll have to catch the YouTube later.

This will be easier once Glass House is over...

This will be easier once Glass House is over...

I hope you're watching it because you're being forced to. I can't imagine watching it for enjoyment.

OoOoOoOo thanks for the info. I had no idea....
