BB09 Out of the Question

Channels 7 and 9 have both confirmed they are not interested in picking up the Ten-axed Big Brother for 2009.

This is good and bad news. Bad because there will be no BB in 2009. Good because it gives Channel Ten the opportunity to try other things and fail, and perhaps revive BB in some format in 2010. Bad also because Endemol's lease of the Dreamworld space and studio expires next year, meaning if the show was revived in later years, it could lose the Dreamworld tie-in, and may move production to Sydney like other reality shows The Biggest Loser and Idol.

(Unrelated, but The Biggest Loser has also been kicked out of their usual filming premises "The White House" by angry neighbours. They need to find a new location before their next series filming begins, probably quite soon!)
