Big Brother Australia has returned, diving into taboo topics just one week into its 2025 season. Among the most talked-about moments is 25-year-old tradie Bruce’s traditional perspective on women’s roles, which has ignited debate among castmates and viewers alike.
“The kids need a stable parental figure they can rely on. I always expected that it will be me working,” Bruce explained to his housemates. “My parents always shared all their money. So my dad would go to work, and my mum was a full-time stay-at-home mum, looking after me and my three siblings, and they saw each other as equals. When dad came home from work, mum had dinner on the table. They were married for 60 years. It works.”
Bruce’s insistence on traditional gender roles shocked co-star Mia and many viewers, who criticized these views as outdated. He defended his stance:
“If we go back to caveman days, women stay and protect the kids, guys go out and hunt animals.”
Michael agreed with Bruce’s perspective during discussions in the house.
The show continues to stir discussions by confronting controversial and sensitive topics head-on.
Big Brother Australia’s 2025 season provokes strong reactions by spotlighting taboo themes through bold cast opinions and interactive viewer choices.
