Big Brother Australia Cancelled
The end is nigh!!!!! Australian TV channel, Network 10, have axed Big Brother after its seventh series.
This years series saw BB bosses bring Pamela Anderson into the house, however this hasn’t given the show enough of a ratings boost and today the channel announced its decision to cancel the show.
Ten chief executive Grant Blackley said the network was “confident this is the right decision at the right time”.
“We are immensely proud of the show and the incredible success it has enjoyed,” programming head David Mott said. “We’re ending the season on a high.”
He added: “Big Brother is the undisputed grand-daddy of modern, commercial reality television in Australia. Today’s reality dramas have all, on some level, been inspired by Big Brother.”
“The show has taken on topics of race, sex, homosexuality, eating disorders and alcohol abuse, many of which had been handled gingerly, if at all, on TV.”
So is this the beginning of the end for Big Brother? Do you think Channel 4 should follow suit? Leave your comments below!

Channel 4 should cancel Big Brother after this series because it’s lost it’s popu;arity and they’re trying to hard to revive it, and now we have;
Big Brother
Big Brother Live (yawn)
Big Brother: Diary Room Uncut
Big Brothers Big Mouth,
and constant repeats of all of the above, BB takes up to much time, and has been boring ever since Series 3 or 4 ended
Im actually pretty sad that Big Brother got cancelled. I was wanting to enter it when i got older. It was a pretty good show and i especially enjoyed this years season for some reason (oh, and last years). So yeah, but i do think that it was talking up to much time. i reckon normal shows and FNL was enough. But anyway, im pretty sad its cancelled.
seriously???
this sux cos it SHOULD stay on!!!!!!
best show eva!!!!!!
UNFAIR!!!
This is typical! BB Oz is so different from the UK version. Our version is chavvy, god awful, tacky, tastless etc etc. Yet, ours is safe. Yet, BB Oz is most likely over with? It should be the other way around. I don’t understand how on earth C4 gets 3.3m viewers to watch our version.
