In a stunning turn of events, Big Brother Australia delivered a dramatic double eviction during Sunday night's live episode, sending two housemates packing from the Gold Coast house in one fell swoop.
The Eviction Line-Up
The tense episode featured an elimination battle between three of the house's most outspoken personalities. For the second consecutive week, Jane, a 67-year-old retired grandmother from Victoria who supports Donald Trump, faced possible eviction after leading the nomination tally with 14 points.
Close behind was the self-described 'spicy' Sri Lankan contestant Mia, who had accumulated 13 nomination votes, followed by Queensland social worker Allana with 10 points putting her in the danger zone.
Public Vote and Emotional Exit
The Australian viewing public ultimately made their decision, choosing Jane as the first housemate to be evicted. Speaking to host Mel Tracina after her exit, the grandmother admitted her time in the house had been challenging.
'It was hard because every day in the house I'd been nominated, it's been really quite difficult,' Jane confessed. 'Today was just, "Oh, the emotions".'
Despite the disappointment, Jane looked forward to a happier moment outside the house, revealing: 'My granddaughter will be so excited I will be at her kindergarten graduation.'
Shocking Twist Revealed
While viewers had been aware of the looming double eviction, the housemates remained completely in the dark about the dramatic twist. In a further surprise development, one lucky Big Brother fan was given the exclusive power to decide which of the two remaining housemates - Allana or Mia - would be evicted next.
The fan ultimately chose Mia, sending the Sri Lankan contestant packing in the second part of the shocking double elimination. 'I was devastated that Jane was gone, but I was like Australia has saved me,' Mia told Mel after her eviction. 'But that's the thing with Big Brother... there's always a twist. I had a feeling it was gonna be a double eviction... I was right.'
Jane's journey in the Dreamworld house had been particularly dramatic. The 67-year-old, who was the 13th and final housemate to enter following a public vote, had experienced multiple clashes with younger housemates Vincent, Colin, and Bruce after repeatedly feeling 'disrespected' during her stay.
The dramatic double eviction follows last week's departure of controversial contestant Michael Downs, who caused a stir with his scathing final message about new couple Holly and Colin, suggesting their romance was merely a strategic game.
