- A self-confessed bogan
- Blue-collar and white-collar workers
Mel emphasized the variety of backgrounds represented:
“It’s ranging from a grandmother to a single mum to a barber to a self-confessed bogan. We have blue-collar workers and white-collar workers. We have a diverse range.”
Show History and Revival
Big Brother Australia first aired in 2001 and ran for eight seasons until 2008. The show was revived by Channel Nine in 2012 for three seasons, then moved to Channel Seven for five seasons before being canceled in 2024 due to low ratings.
On September 16, 2024, Network 10 confirmed the show’s return with a fresh new season.
Unique Appeal Of The Show
Mel Tracina highlighted why Big Brother Australia remains special in the reality TV landscape:
“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.”
The show welcomes a broad spectrum of contestants, focusing on diversity rather than specific traits.
