Big Brother host addresses NSFW question on new season
Big Brother Australia is set to return in 2025, bringing back the original format that made the show famous in the early 2000s. Fans will see the classic Dreamworld location, live nominations, live evictions, and continuous 24/7 streaming return to their screens on Channel 10.
As anticipation builds, one question dominates the conversation among fans: will the infamous late-night spin-off, Big Brother Uncut, come back?
The legacy of Big Brother Uncut
Big Brother Uncut aired late at night and showcased raw, unedited footage from inside the house—footage deemed inappropriate for primetime television. It regularly featured adult themes including flirtatious interactions, nudity, and other NSFW moments that pushed the boundaries of broadcast ethics at the time.
Despite criticism, the show attracted over one million viewers each week thanks to its controversial and unfiltered content.
However, political pressure and the Australian Broadcast Authority’s scrutiny led producers to rename it Big Brother: Adults Only. The revamped edition continued briefly before being cancelled in 2006.
The “turkey slap” incident and aftermath
Just a week after the series’ cancellation, another controversial event shook the franchise. Known as the “turkey slap” incident, it triggered a nationwide backlash and prompted an official investigation into the show’s treatment of adult content and participant conduct.
Author’s summary: The upcoming 2025 revival of Big Brother Australia revives its classic format, sparking renewed debate over the potential return of its once-controversial adult-themed spin-off.
