In a season already packed with drama, a house romance that has the country buzzing, and last-minute decisions, Big Brother Australia delivered its most chaotic twist yet—one that has left both housemates and fans scrambling.
While viewers were primed for a double eviction night, the housemates back inside the house had no idea the stakes had doubled. The episode began like any other eviction special, but producers had a surprise waiting not just for the housemates, but for the audience as well.
In a move that immediately set social media ablaze, host Mel Tracina announced that one ‘lucky viewer’ would be randomly selected to decide who between Allana and Mia would become the next evicted housemate. No vote tally. No audience majority. Just a single phone call with the power to change the trajectory of the game.
The stunned audience watched as a randomly selected fan was patched through live on air. After a brief pause filled with tension, the caller delivered the verdict: Mia was to be evicted.
Online, viewers erupted with frustration, dubbing the twist “unfair,” “rigged,” and “a step too far.”
Well hats off to #BBUK who no longer hold the title for worst twist in Big Brother history I guess. #BBAU, one viewer wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
“No one from the public should get the SOLE vote to evict, literally no one,” another fan wrote on social media.
The controversy leaves one lingering question: is Big Brother pushing the boundaries of unpredictability, or simply undermining the game’s integrity?
With housemates still stunned at how Mia was chosen for eviction, and viewers buzzing with speculation and conspiracy theories, one thing is certain—Big Brother’s latest twist has reshaped the game, and nobody inside the house has any idea what just hit them.
Big Brother Australia continues Monday at 7.30 p.m. on Channel 10.
