Despite toning down "Big Brother: Adults Only" significantly in comparison to 2005, the series continued to attract controversy. After "Big Brother: Adults Only" was abruptly cancelled several weeks early, a subsequent incident of alleged sexual assault in the house saw the removal of two housemates and a huge public outcry calling for the series to be cancelled entirely. This incident generated significant publicity for the show, even prompting the Prime Minister of Australia to call on Network Ten to "do a bit of self-regulation and get this stupid program off the air."
