Big Brother Australia Returns in 2025
Big Brother Australia is coming back to Channel 10 in 2025, promising an exciting new season. Host Mel Tracina shared some insights about what viewers can expect from the upcoming series.
Diverse Contestant Line-up
The final list of contestants remains confidential and may still change. However, Mel revealed that the participants will span “across five decades.”
“It’s ranging from a grandmother to a single mum to a barber to a self-confessed bogan,” Mel said. “We have blue-collar workers and white-collar workers. We have a diverse range.”
Big Brother Australia History
- The show premiered in 2001 and ran for eight seasons until 2008.
- Channel Nine revived it in 2012, airing three seasons.
- It then moved to Channel Seven for five seasons before being canceled in 2024 due to declining ratings.
- Network 10 confirmed its return on September 16, 2024.
Appeal of the Show
Mel highlighted the show's unique appeal compared to other reality formats:
“You don’t need to fit certain criteria to be in the house. You don’t need to be physically or mentally strong, like you would [on] Survivor. You don’t need to be single, like you would on MAFS.”
This fresh approach aims to bring a broad spectrum of personalities and backgrounds into the spotlight.
