Template:Big Brother housemates

Big Brother Australia 2008 is the eighth season of the Australian reality television series Big Brother Australia. Episodes will be broadcast on Network Ten and Ten HD in Australia. The first episode aired on April 28, 2008. Since then there has been a total 20 housemates competing in the series. Half way through the series the prize money was revealed to be $250,000, the amount originally given in the earlier season of the series.

This season introduced Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O as the new hosts and will feature the return of an adult-themed weekly installment.[1] The season featured a new audition process similar to the format used in the earlier seasons where people wishing to audition sent in a tape rather than attending cattle call audition sessions. For the first time in Big Brother Australia the public could vote which housemates they wanted to see in the House prior to the commencement of the season. The tagline in pre-season publicity was "I don't think so"[2], based on the song by Kelis.

The series is planned to last 86 days - a shorter run than preceding seasons. The season will end 21 July 2008.


Pre-season

Auditions

Auditions opened in late 2007. People wishing to audition were required to post a video audition of themselves on the official Big Brother website. Voting closed on January 7, 2008. The three people with the highest number of votes would be guaranteed a place in the House with the top 50 others to go through a second selection process.

Promotions

Promotional advertisements for the new series premiered on April 6, 2008 featuring a short video of former Australian Prime Minister John Howard criticising the show in 2006, stating that Channel Ten should "get this stupid show off the air", followed by the tagline "I Don't Think So" from the eponymous Kelis track.[3]

Series

The series began Monday 28 April 2008 at 7.00 pm. The opening episode had the lowest-ever ratings of any launch of Australian Big Brother. The episode mostly outrated its competitors in most timeslots - except its second half hour when it lost out to Border Security. The audience for the launch peaked at 1.91 million. [4]

The series will last a total of 84 days. The 2008 Finale will air on Monday 21 July 2008 at 7.00pm on Network Ten. It will be the first Finale in Big Bother Australia history to feature three finalists and will be the first hosted by Kyle and Jackie O.[5]

Changes from prior seasons

Broadcasts

Starting this season new hosts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O replace Gretel Killeen who had hosted since the show's launch in 2001.

The nomination and eviction processes have been changed for this season and those elements will both be covered in the same weekly episode of the program (nominations previously had a weekly special dedicated to them which aired every Monday evening).

A new panel discussion program titled Big Brother's Big Mouth will air Monday nights at 9:30pm, hosted by Tony Squires and Rebecca Wilson. This show is similar in format to the UK Big Brother panel show of the same name.

Big Brother Up Late did not air this season due to Ten's late night programming schedule being used for Indian Premier League cricket telecasts in May/June. In comparison to 2007's broadcast, BB08 saw 11 hours less free-to-air telecasts a week, solely due to the absence of Mike Goldman's Big Brother Up Late.

Television broadcast episodes featured a slightly new logo and graphics, and much shorter theme music intros to each show.

The free internet streaming has also changed. The time allotted to free streaming has been cut to three five minute blocks per day. The full-membership subscriptions cost around the AU$33.00 mark.

Nomination and Eviction Voting Format

In the previous series of Big Brother, housemates nominated two other housemates for eviction and viewers then voted to actually evict. This year, the public vote for which housemate to save from eviction. The three housemates with the least amount of saves are nominated for eviction. The housemates then vote to evict one of the three. Housemates will give two points to one person they want evicted, and one point to another of the three.

For this season, each winner of Friday Night Games has additional power to affect nominations and evictions. They are able to discuss nominations and voting with their two chosen guests in the new "Strategy Room". The winner has the power to remove one nominated housemate from the nomination lineup, after which the housemate in fourth place is moved into the nomination lineup. In awarding eviction points, the winner may award four points to one person, and two points to another.

After five weeks the nomination and eviction process reverted to the traditional format of all previous seasons: the housemates nominate and viewers vote for the housemate to be evicted. Unlike the preceding few seasons, there was no save vote; viewers could only vote to evict.

At the start of the season Big Brother announced that "snap evictions" will be executed at various points during the season. Terri was evicted on the first night in a snap eviction, but was soon returned to the house. Two of the three viewer-voted housemates, Barney and Michael, were removed in what was described by the show's makers as a "snap eviction".

The House

The House was rebuilt with a new layout as has occurred with most seasons of Australian Big Brother. The bedroom contains just one big bed for all housemates to share. The garden features a Volkswagen Type 2 in which one housemate must sleep. There is also a vending machine in garden. The housemates can buy different things like food, sunglasses but also personal things. For that they can get a maximum of 20 coins depending on their behaviour.

Housemates

Main article: List of Big Brother Australia housemates (2008 series)

It was initially confirmed that there would be 17 housemates this season. 14 housemates entered the House on the opening night, with an additional three entering in the first week.[6]

Friday Night Live

Big Brother Friday Night Live is a live show hosted by Mike Goldman and former Big Brother 2004 house mates Ryan Fitzgerald and Bree Amer. Friday Night Live started in 2005. It is when the house mates compete in a range of games and activities. All the house mates dress up in suits related to the theme that is picked. Friday Night Live starts at 7:30 and ends at 9:30 usually the hosts bring in the evicted contestants of the previous weeks. When they are hosting Friday Night Live they entertain the audience by playing various games like " Are you smarter than Bree Amer, peg face and best dressed. The other things they also do to entertain the audience are let Brice Fitz berg take his prediction of who's going to win FNL, News with Jim Shorts and he tells them whats going on in the house and " To crap for the daily show " they also have a kfc competion to get a chance to win $10,000.

The winner of the overall games is rewarded with the following:

  1. Becoming Head Of The House
  2. Get a Trophy
  3. Get a reward
  4. Saving a house mate from eviction 

Big Brother 2005's Logan's, Big Brother 2007's Andrew and Big Brother 20088's Nobbi currently hold the record for most wins. Each of them have won three games during there time in the house. 17 different male house mates have won while 15 different female house mates have won Friday Night Live since it began in 2005.

Reception

After the telecast of the season's third Eviction show, critic Andrew Mercado summarised the 2008 series Eviction shows, which he described as in previous seasons being a viewing highlight of the series, as having descended into "just a boring, hateful shemozzle, where Kyle insults everybody around him (housemates are psychos, the crew are work experience and the audience is a 'pack of pigs')." [7]

The 2008 season has shown a marked downturn in ratings for the program. Both the Daily Show and the Eviction shows are rating significantly lower than previous seasons. Ratings for the first 2008 Eviction were half those achieved by Eviction shows during the program's peak. Academic Alan McKee singled-out the departure of previous host Gretel Killeen as having weakened the series. McKee judged that Killeen had successfully provided the show's "moral centre". Of the replacement hosts McKee said that "Kyle and Jackie O just don't serve the same purpose. Jackie is quite limp and Kyle prides himself on just being wrong - he will always say the wrong, obnoxious thing and hurt people." [8]

By the eviction show on June 1 the program's ratings were said to have "almost flatlined on Sunday night, dropping below 500,000 in the key demographic along the East Coast." Host Kyle Sandilands called in sick for this program and his co-hosting duties were handled by usual series announcer and narrator Mike Goldman. [9]

Sandilands missed his second eviction show the following week, June 8, after again calling in sick, with a severe chest infection. It was reported that hundreds of fans took to message boards calling for his stand-in Mike Goldman for the June 1 and June 8 eviction episodes to become a permanent fixture. Some speculated Sandilands had already been sacked - and others accused him of faking his illness. A spokeswoman for the series said Sandilands was expected to return for the following eviction show. [10]

Another commentator, Peter Craven, described the 2008 season as being increasingly gimmicky. The visit by Carson Kressley to makeover the housemates was seen as an obvious gimmick that looked forced upon being reprised. The visit by hypnotist Peter Powers (Craven erroneously named Derren Brown as the hypnotist visitor) was described as being "riveting", but also as turning Big Brother into more a variety show. The choice of eccentric housemates and an appearance by Corey Worthington was seen as an attempt "to highlight the superficially weird" while the absence of Uplate this year is seen as a mistake. Craven suggests the worst mistake of the season is replacing Gretel Killeen, who Craven praises as being "formidable and charismatic" and skilled at her role, with new hosts. Craven judges Kyle Sandilands the more intelligent of the new hosts, but notes he gives no impression of having kept up with the show, as Killeen always did. Craven believes Sandilands to be "sensationally ill-suited to the format, which requires a warm embrace of the Big Brother ethos. By contrast, Jackie O, as the good cop is all vapid smiles and gooey attentiveness." [11]

In a news report where the series was described as suffering a "ratings slump" and where the new hosts were said to have been unable to save the show, former host Killeen was quoted as saying she refused to watch the current season and refused to comment on its low ratings. "I haven't watched it because I don't want to be in the situation where I am not telling the truth and I know people will want to know my opinion of it and I think it is much better not to have seen it," Killeen said. "I don't think it's dignified for me to come back and say this should be done like this and this should be changed." [12]

For the first half of the series, the public voted for who to save from nomination. The bottom three housemates with the lowest saves were up for eviction. The housemates then voted for who to evict, with the first vote receiving 2 points and the second 1 point. The housemate with the most points is then evicted. This year introduced a Head of Household; who has the power to save someone in the bottom three from eviction. The person with the 4th lowest saves is then up for eviction. The Head of Household also votes with double eviction points.

In the second half of the series, the voting format reverted to that of previous years. Housemates vote to nominate other housemates for eviction and the public then vote for who to evict from those nominated.
