No loyalty around here anymore! 2 BB hosts have come out after the announcement of the show's axeing and said they wanted to leave the show.
Kyle Sandilands who only signed onto the show last year for the BB08 season says he is glad the show was axed and now he gets 6 months of his life back (presumably the period of next season). Was his plan to sign on to a show he hated and bring it down from the inside?
Even Mike Goldman told the Courier Mail that if the show was picked up for a 9th season, "I probably wouldn't want to work on it". Seems a bit funny that later in the article he says he doesn't know what he's going to do next. You'd think if he was planning on quitting at the end of the season he might have thought about future prospects!
I get the feeling they are distancing themselves from the doomed program to save face. (Gee, Kyle wouldn't be underhanded and selfish now would he?) Would they really have left if the show hadn't been axed? Only 2 days earlier Mike Goldman was saying on his live blog on the Courier Mail site that BB09 was defintiely on and how much he loved the show.
Also on the finale of Big Mouth last night, semi-regular panelist Tom Gleeson turned his back on the show, saying he was only upset that he had attached himself to a dud. I'm sure you had heaps of other offers Tom with that one joke you know-- "I have red hair!"
