Each weeknight and on Sunday evenings a compilation of the general events in the House for the previous day are presented.
The Opening Night is the first episode of the Big Brother Australia series that introduces the new housemates and the House for that year.
Occasionally, in various seasons of the series, the Daily Show episode would run to one hour, sometimes to accommodate a special event in the house.
During the 2008 season the Monday evening installment was extended to a one-hour duration when the housemate nominations were incorporated into the episode.
The eviction shows are televised each Sunday night at 7:30 pm (Australian Eastern Standard Time).
The Big Brother Finale is a significant event conducted in front of an audience at Dreamworld and broadcast live on television.
The 2007 season finale was extended by almost an hour due to a delay in finalising eviction vote tallies.
Usually the runner-up leaves the house in the manner of an evicted housemate, and is interviewed by the host on stage.
Big Brother 2006 had featured the original format where the winner is announced while the final two housemates are in the House, and they both left separately.
In 2006, Danielle Foote sang her single, while the other housemates did dance routines around her, using costumes and elements from various tasks of that season.
The 2008 Finale featured a special dedication to past series as the 2008 season would be the last for the foreseeable future.
The show was originally set to be hosted by just Goldman and Fitzgerald, with Amer appearing in the first episode as a guest to fill the third chair as an eviction hadn't taken place for an evictee to be present - but was brought back last minute for the second show when it felt like "it wasn't working" with just the duo.
She then continued to appear weekly as a guest on a casual basis before becoming the third host for the eighth show onward.
The prize involved Jamie and the person he invited to the Rewards Room, Chris, leaving the House to get a first go on FlowRider, a new ride at Dreamworld.
This weekly program is also filmed at Dreamworld, and features two teams of celebrities (who are joined by members of the public) to compete in a series of games.
The show features live footage from the House; interviews with evicted housemates; and brain teasers where viewers attempt to solve challenges such as word games, and may phone in for a chance to win up to $1000.
The show was hosted by Tony Squires and Rebecca Wilson with panelists Tom Gleeson and Tim Brunero.
Due to a ratings decline it was moved to 10.00pm Monday starting 30 June 2008, with new series Mark Loves Sharon taking its original slot.
This mainly consisted of footage of the housemates showering, general risque behaviour, and discussions about sexual matters.
Uncut premiered on 23 July 2001 on Network Ten and was shown aired at 9:30 pm on Thursday nights.
Community groups complained to the industry watchdog about nudity and sexual acts that had gone to air in the uncut version of the show.
It was later found that the network breached the code of practice but no direct punishment was imposed by the Australian Communications and Media Authority.
[6][7] For the sixth season Uncut was renamed to Big Brother: Adults Only with Gretel Killeen continuing to host.
[7] Adults Only ended early after politicians warned Network Ten that its screening of the show could harm its push for media reforms.
[8][9] Uncut returned in November 2023 alongside the fifteenth season exclusively on Channel 7's streaming service 7plus.
[10] Big Brother Saturday was a one-hour long show aired on Saturday evenings during Big Brother 2001, with Gretel Killeen presenting an overview of press discussions of the series that week, interviews with fans by reporter Sami Lukis, and stories about the activities of evicted housemates.
This was usually pre-taped; in Big Brother 2005 the announcement of which housemates were nominated for eviction was presented live.
When nominations resumed in the middle of that season they were shown as part of the Monday evening Daily Show.
[12][13] Initially the series was given an M classification when it premiered in its original Wednesday 10:10pm timeslot but after one week Nine moved it to air on Thursdays at 8pm.
[14] Big Brother Showdown in its original format is a 60-minute Saturday-night take on Friday Night Live hosted by Shelley Craft with commentation from Mike Goldman and 2012 housemate Michael Beveridge.
