Big Brother Returns to Australian Screens
Close to 1.5 million Australians tuned in during the 103-minute premiere of Big Brother, eager to see if Dreamworld remains as it was in the 2000s. Back then, the show was viewed more as a social experiment than a standard reality program.
Familiar Vibes in a New Era
The atmosphere seems much the same. The season launched smoothly, with new host Mel Tracina appearing comfortable, though slightly overwhelmed by the enthusiastic crowd outside the Big Brother house. Fans screamed after every announcement, much like Usher’s passionate audience.
These devoted supporters chanted the names of newly revealed contestants moments after their introductions, providing welcomes reminiscent of celebrity fanfare.
Introducing Bruce
One contestant, Bruce, is 25 years old and dreams of being married with children by 30. He strongly believes in having a "trad wife" who stays home to care for the kids. Bruce wears a Jesus-piece, has the look of an ’80s cricketer, and is almost certainly destined for multiple divorces.
