Mel Tracina on the Return of Big Brother Australia
Mel Tracina is preparing to host the eagerly awaited return of Big Brother Australia. She is moving from Melbourne to the Gold Coast to take on this exciting role. The 36-year-old Nova presenter and cultural correspondent known from The Cheap Seats is thrilled to revive the show that shaped a generation of reality TV fans in Australia.
Excitement and Nostalgia
Mel shares her enthusiasm, saying, “I’m feeling as excited as every other OG fan.” She laughs as she admits that, unlike viewers, she won’t just watch the show from home because she’ll be working on it.
What Made the Original Series Special
Mel recalls the original series’ unique charm, with its 24/7 live filming and countless unscripted moments that captivated audiences. She hopes the new season will continue this tradition.
“It just takes somebody being organic,” Mel explains, reflecting on Sara-Marie Fedele’s iconic bum dance. “At the time, you didn’t know it would become a part of Aussie culture, like the saying: ‘Game on, moles.’ That authenticity is what we latch onto.”
Memorable Connections
She also treasured the romances that flourished among housemates forced into close quarters.
“I loved the love stories,” Mel fondly recalls.
