BIG BROTHER'S 2nd EVICTEE - JANE UNPACKS HER TIME IN THE HOUSE
Jane, the self-proclaimed groovy granny and second evictee from Big Brother 2025, sits down with TV Reload to spill on her wild week in the house. The backlash and why she doesn’t regret a single second of it. In this episode, Jane reflects on narrowly dodging the first eviction, the emotional support from her sons and grandkids and the surreal experience of being mobbed for photos at Dreamworld. She opens up about Fartgate, Dishgate and Bedgate, why she called out the boys’ behaviour when no one else would and what really sparked her explosive feud with Bruce – including why she branded him the “biggest brown-noser” in the house. Jane also sets the record straight on her much-talked-about comments about Donald Trump, explains what “groovy granny” really means to her and gives a brutally honest read on Bruce, Vinnie, Holly, Colin and who she thinks will actually win Big Brother 2025. Plus, she lifts the lid on what the housemates really see and hear during the live nominations and evictions. If you loved yelling at the TV during Jane’s weeks in the house, you’re going to want to hear this unfiltered, funny and informative chat.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

BIG BROTHER'S TWIST EVICTEE - MIA WIJEWARDENE
In today’s episode of TV Reload, I’m joined by the radiant and refreshingly honest Mia Wijewardene, the Big Brother housemate whose loud laugh, lilac power-suit and unapologetic authenticity made her one of this season’s most compelling players. Fresh out of the house, Mia opens up about everything viewers didn’t get to see. From the pressure of representing her South Asian identity to navigating her sexuality on her own terms. We dive into her emotional journey inside the house. Including feeling misunderstood by fellow contestants, the exhaustion of constantly having to explain herself and why she believes Australia got to know her more deeply than the people she lived with. Mia also shares candid thoughts about her dynamic with Edward and sets the record straight about their flirtation. Plus she speaks honestly about Holly, gaslighting accusations and what moments she now sees differently after leaving the game. We unpack the controversial twist that left her eviction up to a single caller, how she really feels about being sent home this way and why she’s ultimately at peace with her Big Brother fate. Before signing off, Mia reveals who she thinks is destined to win the season, and reflects on what she hopes Australia learned about he. Beyond labels, bios and first impressions. It’s vulnerable, funny, thoughtful and incredibly reaL. Everything we’ve come to love about Mia. Tune in now for one of the most heartfelt and eye-opening Big Brother exit chats of the season.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

BIG BROTHER'S 1ST EVICTEE - MICHEAL DOWNS UNPACKS HIS EVICTION
Michael might be the first housemate evicted from Big Brother 2025 but he’s definitely not the most forgettable. In this episode, Ben catches up with the self-described “professional pot-stirrer” fresh from the house, bacon in hand and emails exploding, to unpack how it all went so wrong so fast after he copped 13 points in that brutal first nomination and Australia sent him packing. Michael opens up about being cast to fill the “older villain” box, those MAFS intruder rumours, why he never toned down his opinions for the 24/7 live stream, and how his daughter reacted to seeing him on TV (including her friends now calling him a “DILF”). He also shares his unfiltered take on Holly and Colin’s 'showmance,' why he thinks Holly and Jane are “content machines” the show can’t afford to lose and whether Big Brother has gone soft compared to the old days. Plus, Ben and Michael talk about who’s really running the game, who’s in the most danger next, and why Michael’s money is still on Emily (and maybe Vinnie) to make it all the way to the end.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
