Return to Dreamworld

Interview Highlights
“I love how hyped Aussies are for the show to return. It feels a bit surreal as well, just because it’s a show I grew up watching, so it’s that full-circle moment.”
Mel expressed excitement about stepping into the role and acknowledged the legacy left by former hosts.
“I know that I’m going to be the bearer of bad news for a lot of the housemates, because I’ll be there to bring them nominations and evictions, but I really want to be more of like a bestie to them – someone that’s a little bit nicer than Big Brother, who’s gonna be giving them all the tasks and taking away all their luxuries.”
Mel’s Approach to Hosting
- Be the bearer of nominations and evictions
- Act as a supportive figure to housemates
- Maintain a balance of authority and warmth
