Big Brother slammed for reusing reality TV stars
Channel Ten has faced criticism for bringing back familiar faces after viewers discovered that one of this year’s Big Brother contestants had already appeared on Deal Or No Deal. Vincent, a 21-year-old barber from Victoria, previously took part in the Grant Denyer-hosted game show in 2024.
During his earlier appearance, Vincent was supported by his grandmother and shared with the host that his motivation was his large family.
“There’s 108 great-grandchildren in my family!”
The memorable episode left Vincent choosing between two remaining cases — one holding $50,000 and the other just $75 — while being offered a tense deal of $18,800 to leave the game.
Fans watching the new Big Brother 2025 season, which premiered on Sunday night, were quick to spot the returning TV personality and shared their reactions online.
“Omgg I remember him lmaoo, someone posted him on TikTok and the girls were going absolutely feral over him. Knew I recognised him.”
“If I had a penny for every time someone who has previously been on Deal or No Deal was cast on a reboot of Big Brother.”
