All Access Scoop with Celia: What Inside the Big Brother House Is Really Like

Entertainment Writer Celia got an exclusive first look inside the Big Brother AU house at Dreamworld before the housemates arrived — and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary.

First Impressions

Stepping into the house, I was immediately struck by the flood of color and light surrounding me. The atmosphere felt both theatrical and inviting, creating a sense of excitement similar to trying a new favorite food for the first time — something that constantly draws you back for more.

The Exclusive Preview

As an Entertainment Writer for New Idea, I was invited to fly from Sydney to the Gold Coast to get an early preview of the Big Brother AU house. The event, held during the network’s 2026 Upfront presentation on a warm spring evening, began with a welcome by the show’s host, Mel Tracina, who hinted at an exciting season to come.

“An exciting season is upon us,” teased Mel Tracina as the event began.

Inside the Big Brother House

After the introduction, guests were allowed to wander through the house freely. The scale of the space was breathtaking — far larger than expected. The main living area serves as the heart of the home, surrounded by smaller lounging nooks perfect for casual hangouts.

Outdoor Retreat

Outside, the setup offered a resort-like escape. Visitors could explore a gym area, outdoor showers, and two separate lounge zones. The pool and expansive dining space provided a relaxing atmosphere for the incoming housemates to unwind and connect.

Author’s Summary: The new Big Brother AU house blends luxury and energy, offering both grandeur and intimacy for the next wave of contestants.
