Future of Big Brother Australia in doubt | MEDIA McKNIGHT
Description
Big Brother is in big trouble. Ratings are down 35% year on year, and sources say Endemol Shine Australia is worried the show won’t return. Intruders and stunts are coming fast. Then employment lawyer Michael Byrnes from Swaab joins Rob to unpack the new Federal Court documents in Jackie O’s case against ARN. They cover the privilege rulings, the March memo to the board, and why ARN says it accepted her repudiation of the contract rather than sacking her for a prohibited reason. Plus an update on the Meghan Markle Junior MasterChef petition, and the latest from the McKnight Was Right Files. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 1:15 Big Brother ratings crisis 2:25 Meghan Markle Junior MasterChef petition update 3:42 Jackie O v ARN: the sacking timeline, with Michael Byrnes 18:30 McKnight Was Right: Australian Survivor: Rivals ✍️ Link to Meghan Markle petition: https://www.change.org/p/remove-meghan-markle-from-junior-masterchef-australia 📰 Read the TV Blackbox story: https://tvblackbox.com.au/page/2026/11/01/why-was-a-meghan-markle-junior-masterchef-petition-censored-by-change-org/ 📩 Send your tips: rob@tvblackbox.com.au 📺 Media McKnight drops every Tuesday.
