Casting and Applications
With over 20,000 hopefuls applying to join the rebooted show, producers faced the challenge of selecting the ideal housemates. The final lineup consists of 12 everyday Australians from various backgrounds, promising an engaging mix of personalities and stories.
Season 17 Premiere and Host Insights
The identities of the 12 housemates will only be revealed when the first episode premieres on Sunday, November 9. Host Mel Tracina shared hints in a recent interview with TV Tonight about the cast’s diversity and dynamics:
“12 housemates enter the house at launch……I think it’s a [really] great cross range of Australians that will be heading into the house from all different walks of life, different ages.”
“We’ve got some that have admitted to being clean freaks, which I think will be very exciting to see unfold in the house.”
These insights suggest viewers can expect a variety of personalities and entertaining interactions as the new season unfolds.
