Channel Seven has touted the upcoming season of Big Brother as the ‘spiest’ yet.
And it looks like the network is going to make good on the promise with the return of the infamous spin-off Big Brother Uncut.
A source who saw the first episode of the Uncut episode told Ny Breaking Australia that the reboot is faster than ever before.
Images of both male and female participants showering naked are shown completely uncensored and leave nothing to the imagination.
As well as the nudity on display, there will also be plenty of X-rated conversations between the cast – although Seven was forced to draw the line when it came to talking about a taboo sex act that was deemed too popular for TV.

Industry insiders are already shocked at how far Big Brother Uncut will go this season, as many had assumed it would be fairly tame given how family-friendly most shows on commercial television are these days.
“No one expected to see nudity or see contestants sharing their raunchiest, jaw-dropping sex stories,” said one.
To avoid an advertiser boycott and furious censorship, Seven has decided to air Big Brother Uncut on their 7Plus streaming service instead of their free-to-air channels.
However, some industry sources predict that the Uncut episode could still be scrapped after its premiere if enough viewers complain to Australia’s conservative media watchdogs.

Even if the series is canceled, a former producer from the original series says it will be worth it considering all the publicity it will generate.
“That one noisy episode will have done what Channel Seven needed. That’s to get headlines and attention for a show that is pretty much dead and buried,” they said.
The original series aired on late-night TV on Channel 10 from 2001 to 2006, following the family-friendly version of Big Brother.
Following the 2005 season, audience complaints prompted the Australian Communications and Media Authority to launch an investigation into the X-rated show.

The main complaint was that 10 had breached the industry code of practice by broadcasting images beyond the maximum MA15+ rating for Australian commercial television.
The ACMA found that 10 had breached the code a number of times.
The controversy reached a peak in 2006 when Camilla Severi was ‘beaten’ by two male contestants, leading to both of them being evicted while Severi became the season’s runner-up.
Channel Seven recently released the first trailer for the upcoming series, calling it the “spiciest” season yet.

While previous seasons of Channel Seven’s reboot focused mainly on gameplay, this year’s house will feature ‘hot sexy singles’ ready to find love.
Like every year, the selected cast is locked in a custom-built house, with every hook-up, break-up and ‘dancing doona’ recorded by more than eighty cameras and microphones.
The series features an all-new set of rules, rooms, tasks, breathtaking twists and heart-wrenching challenges in what promises to be the most explosive series yet.
Big Brother returns to screens on Monday, November 6 at 7.30pm on Seven, followed by Big Brother Uncut every Thursday on 7Plus.
