Endemol Shine Australia

Like, how does a reality show reach that point? It's fucked.

And yeah, as I said, if Maths Australia does... get cancelled or this upcoming season is the last season because of all of this then the fault lies solely with Animal Shine Australia who produced the show and also Channel 9 like they pay them to make this show they can't pretend they don't know what happens on set the fact that Channel 9 did that statement last week in regards to this revenge porn police investigation going you should send all your inquiries to Animal Shine Australia basically saying you know this has nothing to do with us like that's bullshit because You know what they're doing to make that show because you pay them to make the show bigger and more explosive and more extreme every year because you profit from that.

So then when, you know, shit hits the fan like it has recently, you can't then go, oh, that's nothing to do with us.

Bullshit.

And even, like, not even from a selfish perspective of, you know, if the show ends, I'll miss it personally because I enjoy watching it and making content in it.

But, like, you know, that'd be hundreds of jobs also lost.

And if the show does get cancelled here and those hundreds of people are out of work, again, the blame lies solely with Channel 9 and Endemol Shine Australia because... you push the show that far and you know what you're doing every year.

And if it does get to the point where it has to be cancelled like the UK one, then yeah, as I said, that is on you.

But first, Big Brother is in big trouble.

Ratings for the Channel 10 series is significantly down 35% year on year, and sources tell me production company Endemol Shine Australia is worried the show will not return next year on Channel 10.

On Monday, the show rated lower than Channel 7 Sunrise, which, due in an average audience of 433,000 for its two-hour 7am block, compared to $431,000 for Big Brother and its one hour and ten minute slot.

To make matters worse, Thursday's nomination show fell below $395,000 up against weak competition.

We know that.

So why is Endemol Shine Australia staying silent? Do they think the story will simply go away? This is Married at First Sight, one of the biggest shows in the world.

The less you talk about it, the more people like me will keep digging.

And boy, have I found out some interesting info.

Before joining Network 10, Sarah spent more than 15 years developing and producing formats in the United Kingdom, including First Dates, Bake Off and Kitchen Nightmares.

Amelia Fisk is Director of Content at Endemol Shine Australia.

She has overseen the 2020 and 2025 relaunches of Big Brother.

executive produced 12 series of Australian Survivor and created the internationally successful format, The Summit.

That's why the investigation continues.

Endemol Shine Australia has not responded to calls, texts or emails seeking comments on this.

I can't confirm every detail of this is 100% accurate, but it comes from sources who have not been wrong before.

If the information were incorrect, you'd expect the company to want to correct the record.

ESA, of course, is the production company behind shows like MasterChef, Big Brother, Australian Survivor, Gogglebox, the list just goes on.

Well, I guess it was just less and less about what Big Brother is.

I'd heard a rumour, I still don't think this is true, but I heard that they were sitting around, the producers from Endemol Shine Australia, recognising how popular Survivor Australia was at the time, Australian Survivor, and they were thinking, you know... how do I make this format? Where do we put this format into something else? And I had heard that they'd said, imagine a Big Brother where everyone knew who was, you know, discussed nominations and it was the survivor format.

So, I mean... that was a headline on the daily mail australia big brother in a warehouse is survivor you know is whatever um and unfortunately as much as i love some of the most iconic players in big brother channel 7 era like daniel gorringe was amazing season one kieran was it so amazing in that season arnie garth i know there was there was plenty of iconic characters in that that i'd love to see in in the OG Big Brother format.

Totally.
