big brother australia 2012

Big Brother Australia looked set to return to our television screens soon enough when the official web site mysteriously posted “Coming soon” earlier this year. It was confirmed in early September.

The official web site had this above just recently before changing to point to Southern Star. Two Facebook pages sprang up then and Hughesy mentioned the show’s return on The 7pm Project (about 3 or 4 days after word got out). A handful of news articles were online by this time.

I set up a Facebook page for Big Brother Chaos at facebook.com/BigBrotherChaos. This is what it looked like over the weekend.

Within a half a day later the Official Big Brother Australia Facebook page was available. It was just a basic one saying that auditions were not being announced yet. It had 10,000 “Likes” by the end of the day. At the time of writing this it has just under 18,000.

So that is a bit of background leading up to the events surrounding the word getting out. Big Brother Australia will return on the Nine Network in 2012 and will be called Big Brother: Secrets. More about that will follow soon.
