Meet the 13th Housemate Entering Big Brother Australia

Big Brother Australia's rebooted 16th series has officially begun in 2025. The new cast is ready to live in the iconic Big Brother house and compete for the life-changing $100,000 prize awarded to the last housemate standing.

After a three-year break from Australian screens, the show has returned to Channel 10, following two unsuccessful seasons on Channel Nine and the Seven Network that missed the original spirit of the early 2000s Big Brother.

Season 16 and Its Nostalgic Vibes

New host Mel Tracina debuted the housemates in the premiere episode. Fans can expect a throwback to the beloved early noughties format, especially with Mike Goldman returning as Big Brother's voice.

The season also features live nominations, live evictions, and a 24/7 live stream, promising heightened drama among the contestants.

The 13th Housemate: Australia's Choice

After selecting the first 12 contestants internally, Australia voted for the 13th housemate. The choice was between Jane and Mitch, with the "feisty" Jane winning the popular vote and joining the house.

Jane is the oldest contestant in show history and brings a lifetime of experience to the house.

Her unique presence is set to add a new dynamic to the competition.

Author's summary: Big Brother Australia returns in 2025 with a nostalgic format, live audience interaction, and introduces Jane, the oldest contestant ever, adding fresh excitement to the competitive reality series.
