The OG housemates!

When Australians think of reality television, Big Brother is often the first show to come to mind.

At its peak, BB was a phenomenon that had the whole nation hooked as we watched people from all walks of life live in a house together.

Sounds simple enough right? But what followed was season after season of squabbling, backstabbing, hookups and even cheating scandals.

Diehard Big Brother fans rejoiced in 2025 when it was announced a new season would see fresh faces competing on the much-loved show.

Here’s a look back at where all the past winners are today!
