Big Brother Australia fans have accused Channel Ten of using a sneaky tactic after a public vote resulted in a surprising new contestant entering the house — a grandmother with outspoken political views. During Monday’s episode, viewers were asked to choose the 13th housemate between two very different candidates: Mitch, a 21‑year‑old tradesman, and Jane, a 67‑year‑old self‑proclaimed “glam gran.”
Jane easily won the vote after charming audiences with her bright personality and promise to bring “sparkle, sass, and high heels” to the Big Brother house.
“I'm not your average grandmother — my suitcase has sparkles, heels, and bikinis,”
she joked in her introduction package, winning over fans across social media.
However, less than a day later, when Jane entered the house on Monday night’s episode, many fans were stunned to learn a detail that had not been mentioned before voting. Her official Big Brother bio described her as “an avid and passionate Donald Trump lover,” a revelation that ignited outrage online.
“They couldn’t have told us she was a Trump supporter before we voted?”
one viewer complained on X, accusing the show’s producers of withholding key information to influence the results. Social media quickly filled with criticism, as fans questioned the fairness and transparency of the viewer vote.
