Viewers Fume at Big Brother's 'Dirty Trick' Over Trump-Loving Granny
Outraged fans of Big Brother Australia have accused Channel Ten of pulling a "dirty trick" after a viewer vote unexpectedly brought a contestant with controversial political views into the show.
Viewer Vote Sparks Controversy
During Monday's episode, viewers were given the power to select the show's 13th housemate. The finalists were two contrasting candidates: Mitch, a 21-year-old tradie, and Jane, a 67-year-old self-described "glam gran" who promised to bring sparkle and sass to the house.
Viewers overwhelmingly chose Jane, who charmed the audience with her cheeky personality and colorful introduction, declaring:
I'm not your average grandmother - my suitcase has sparkles, heels and bikinis.
Surprise Revelation After the Vote
However, less than 24 hours after the vote, Jane's grand entrance revealed a detail that had not been disclosed prior: the Victorian retiree describes herself as "an avid and passionate Donald Trump lover" in her official Big Brother bio.
This revelation sparked outrage among fans, many accusing the producers of deliberately concealing this information to sway votes. One viewer posted on X:
They couldn't have told us she was a Trump supporter before we voted? I feel like I've been tricked.
Public Reaction
- Fans expressed anger about the lack of transparency.
- Producers were accused of hiding Jane's political views.
- The controversy stirred debate across social media platforms.
