Last but not least: RTL II without "Big Brother"?
«Big Brother» fans are in for a rough time. Just because RTL II wants to offer higher-quality content in the future, the hit show is set to be canceled. That's some big news!
RTL II sold its new concept as a "quality offensive" in August. The channel was actually successful with docusoaps such as "Frauentausch" and the "Big Brother" show. The makers thought they could deliver even more embarrassment and launched three formats of this type this fall: "Abenteuer Afrika Deutsche Teenies beissen sich durch", "Das Tier in mir" and "Tattoo Attack Promis stchen zu". Presumably a bit too much, as the formats didn't really catch on with the audience. The answer is now more quality, and "Big Brother" obviously no longer fits the bill. According to the industry service Kontakter, the start date has been postponed indefinitely. But there is reason for hope: voyeurism and embarrassment will still be available on RTL II thanks to existing and newly launched programs. From now on, it will simply be of a slightly higher quality. The channel's distinguishing feature will therefore remain largely unchanged.
