Yes ‘axe’ this show. BB has been just exploitive junk, mostly. Gretel K was pretty brave actually.

Prediction: Kyle & Jackie cannot raise the dead.

I agree with the majority of comments – Ten booting Gretel was a mistake and I think this will be the last series of BB in Australia.

Gretel is the best female “live TV” host we have … she is exceptional! BB without Gretel will only be half as good as it is now … which doesn’t leave very much at all!
Missing you already Gretel!

There is no way that Kyle and Jackie O can ever step into Gretel’s shoes. The host of Big Brother needs to have intelligence and a quick wit in dealing with people, something that these two definitely do not have. I have watched every series of Big Brother up until now – Channel Ten has just made a very big mistake!

Gretel is a valuable asset to the show and a top hostess to boot. The only problem I ever had was her occassionally SHOCKING fashion sense.

She always maintained a level head in the midst of all the screaming from the audience (and in her ear piece), and she never backed down when the housemates tried to take her on. Who gives a crap if she was at times a little biased. I mean, who isn't? She's human for God's sake and she's not afraid to show it.

Incidentally, Mike Goldman is NOT fit to host BB. He's an uncharismatic drunkard. Don't get me wrong, his antics on BB Up-Late are at times amusing, but I don't think I'd be able to stand him as the host of the core BB programs.

Fare thee well, Gretel. You will be missed.

Live shows have around for 50 years, mosts hosts understand the ability to not include there personal opinions, something Gretel couldnt handle, Her strong and well known stance on feminism and Gay rights was obvious and at times her distaste for the male contestants was so transparent it offended the majority of the audience.
A professional live hosts keep sthe audience guessing about their personal ideals and never have an agenda when it comes to interviewing the CONTESTANTS or GUESTS.
Whatever the shows flaws were Gretel was a major one, she will move on to ... well other things.

Australia has very little star vehcile shows and even though BB's past contestants have rarely ever achieved further succes (let alone maintained any credability) Aus needs any show it can get.

My opinion, they should axe the show altogether. A BB contetant has no talent. Being unbashfull isnt a talent its a personality trait. But then again its channel ten we are talking about.

I’m pretty sure Jackie O’s contract with nine was for only a year? (2007)

I agree. Gretel is the best part of BB. And the one continuing thread. I think their desperate atemps to change things will mark the death knel to a show that has already run its course.

Disappointed that BB is letting Gretel go. She had quite an ability to keep the eviction show under control – despite the 1000s of teens screaming in the audience, producers shouting directions in her earpiece, and having to cope with hyperactive BB evictees clutching onto their 15 minutes of fame. She’s an asset to the show – and Jackie O and Matt Tilley?!? That HAS to be a joke!

Jackie O is currently with Nine.

I can’t see either getting the gig.
