The most unhinged, unscripted and unforgettable moments from the Big Brother Australia 2025

Fans were left fuming when Emily was snubbed during the Big Brother live final on Monday, December 8.

Emily came in second place, with Coco winning the $135,000 prize fund, but viewers were devastated when she didn’t get interviewed.

During the live final, her fellow finalists, Allana, Bruce and Colin, were all interviewed live on stage by Mel Tracina.

However, when Coco, 30, was declared the winner, Emily’s eviction was shown, but her live interview was not.

Taking to social media, one fan fumed, “Did Emily even make it onstage? I stopped paying attention when the winner was announced. She deserved better.”

“No interview for Emily is ridiculous. Not even giving your RUNNER-UP a chance on stage? The live shows have been a mess this year,” another said.

A third added, “So is Emily still hiding in the house?! Bit rude to not give her a moment.”

Colin made it all the way to the live final, and Holly was cheering him on from the audience.

In his exit interview, Colin proved things are serious between him and Holly as he dropped the L-bomb live on stage.

When greeted by host Mel Tracina, he was asked if he had any message for Holly, prompting him to say he felt put “on the spot”.

However, with his Mum by his side on stage, he then shouted out, “I love you!”

His bold statement was greeted by gasps and cheers from the live audience, while Holly grinned and held up a love heart symbol with her hands.

After countless rows inside the house, Jane didn’t shy away from sharing her feelings in her eviction video message.

Her brutal parting message left the housemates in shock as she issued some unfiltered feedback for her housemates.

She kicked off by sharing some kind words with Holly and Colin, before laying into the other contestants.

Jane, 67, urged Coco to “start helping around the house”, adding: “Single mum? A lot of us are single mums, that’s not an excuse. Help more.”

She then savagely branded Vinnie as “fake” and warned the other housemates that he had a game plan to make it to the final.

“You are fake. You join in conversations with good advice when you know there is a group and the cameras are on you,” she said.

“I don’t think I will ever see you again on the outside. You’re fake.”

However, it was tradie Bruce, 25, who copped the most criticism as she didn’t shy away from sharing her dislike for him.

“You know what? You’re not the king of the world. You know what, leave Coco alone. Leave her alone, stay away from each other,” she raged, referencing Coco and Bruce’s flirtatious connection.

Bruce and Jane’s feud came to a head on November 20 when they became embroiled in a fierce row.

Tensions kicked off earlier in the week when Jane accused Bruce, Vinnie and Colin of being “disrespectful” to women.

The three boys all disagreed with her and argued that she had approached them in a “disrespectful” manner, leading to Jane storming off.

Things then reached breaking point when Bruce told Jane that she was too “old” to be acting immaturely and urged her to apologise.

“You owe all the boys an apology,” he fumed. “You walked out there, you disrespected me, but worse, you disrespected my mates. It’s disgusting.”

“That was the most high school bulls*** I have ever seen. And you ran away before anyone could speak their piece!”

“The way you think you speak for all women because you’re God almighty.”

Jane argued that she isn’t “God almighty” and doesn’t “speak for all women”, prompting Bruce to yell: “That’s what you should have said out there then!”

“The message is still clear,” Jane angrily snapped back. “I think you’re disrespectful to me.”

Bruce then agreed, adding, “I am, I don’t like you, Jane.”

“I don’t like you either,” Jane agreed.

Jane didn’t shy away from sharing her true feelings with Vinnie, Bruce and Colin on November 19.

After she was put up for eviction, she laid down the law and accused the trio of “disrespecting” women.

“I’m not calling anyone in particular, I’m just calling out some instances when I came into the house,” she told them in a private chat.

“I don’t want to hear people farting in my face, just some things are inappropriate, and I just think you need to be a bit more respectful towards, maybe, women.”

However, Vinnie hit back and said they all had respect for women as he criticised the tone with which she approached them.

In the diary room, Colin said, “She wants you to be quiet and listen to her, because if you’re not, you’re disrespecting women, but she’s so hypocritical.”

He pointed out how Jane had previously said she “can’t stand” how people say “as a woman” and try to “speak for all women”.

Colin then tried to voice his own opinion, but Jane kept interrupting, leading to Bruce arguing that respect was a “two-way street”.

Jane then threw her chair on the ground and stormed off, with Mia comforting the enraged housemate.

Sparks were flying between Colin, 21, and Holly, 31, during the first week in the house.

The pair had an instant connection, and the chemistry between them was clear, much to the dismay of Vinnie, 21, who also appeared interested in Holly.

And things heated up on Thursday, November 13, as they raised eyebrows by sharing their first kiss.

After Holly found out she was at risk of elimination, Colin was quick to comfort her and gave her a hug on the bean bags.

The pair then shared a kiss before hiding underneath a blanket to have a few more smooches, though Vinnie caught them in the act.

Colin appeared delighted over his budding connection, but viewers questioned whether Holly’s actions were genuine or a game plan to avoid eviction on Sunday, November 16.

Abiola and Holly got into a tense clash on Wednesday, November 12, over “pretty privilege”.

Vinnie first voiced the opinion that “prettier people in society get treated differently”, to which Holly firmly disagreed.

Holly said she saw both the positives and negatives that came with supposedly being conventionally attractive by society’s standards.

“Yes, there are privileges that come with being beautiful. But pretty privilege, I always say this, is a double-edged sword,” she claimed.

“There’s pros, and there’s cons. People might not think that I get social anxiety. But sometimes when a beautiful girl walks into a room, sometimes we don’t want to be looked at.”

Abiola interjected, arguing: “Yeah, but I’d rather that than people not give me the time of day because they think I’m gross.”

Holly continued to disagree, but Abiola argued that she lives an “easier” life because “people don’t think you’re disgusting” as she became emotional.

Holly then questioned whether Abiola thought it was “fun” to be sexualised, with Abiola arguing that she had also experienced sexualisation as a black woman.

Abiola ended up walking away, overwhelmed with emotion, and viewers were left divided over the heated conversation.

Bruce, 25, and Michael, 49, were accused by viewers of being “sexist” as they voiced their opinions about gender roles in relationships.

On Tuesday, November 11, Bruce spoke about family dynamics and said he believes that one parent should always stay home to look after the children, with Michael agreeing.

“My dad came home from work, my mum had dinner on the table. They were married for 60 years. That just works,” Michael said.

“The kids need a stable parental figure they can rely on. I always expected that it would be me working,” Bruce added.

Bruce said he had always planned to be the parent who would work, but his housemate, Mia, pointed out that he wasn’t giving his future partner any choice on the matter.

But Bruce doubled down, saying: “If we go back to caveman days, women stay and protect the kids, the guys go out and hunt animals.”

Bruce also branded gender pay gaps in jobs a “load of bulls***” while Michael argued that men get into more managerial roles because they are more “aggressive” and “competitive” by nature.

However, many viewers were left furious by the conversation and accused the two men of being “sexist”.
