Overview
- Mel Tracina fronts the back-to-basics return at Dreamworld, with live evictions, public voting and a 24/7 feed on 10Play and TikTok.
- Twelve contestants entered the house and the public is selecting a 13th entrant, with 67-year-old Jane named as a candidate in coverage.
- The premiere, recorded the night before airing, paused for about two hours due to lightning, and roughly 100 viewers were on TikTok at 3am.
- Casting scrutiny includes model Holly Young’s reported links to Luxe Listings and Married At First Sight circles, and social-media claims that ‘barber’ Vinnie is also a musician with a large TikTok following.
- Reporting notes limited racial diversity in the initial lineup—highlighting Abiola and Mia as the two identified people of colour—and confirms there have been no nominations or evictions yet.
