Big Brother Australia 14, also known as Big Brother Australia 2022, is the fourteenth season of the Australian reality television series Big Brother. The season was filmed from 12 October through 13 December 2021, and premiered on Seven Network on 9 May 2022. Hosted by Sonia Kruger,[1] the season saw new housemates compete against returning housemates deemed as "Big Brother Royalty".[2] [3]
In the series, the Housemates will live in a house together with no communication with the outside world as they competed for $250,000. They were constantly filmed during their time in the house and were not permitted to communicate with those filming them. Over the course of the competition, housemates will compete in challenges for power and safety before voting each other out of the house. When three housemates remained, the Australian public decided which finalist would win the grand prize of $250,000.
The series was won by season 3 winner Reggie Sorensen, who defeated Johnson Ashak and Taras Hrubyj-Piper in the final public vote. With her win, Sorensen became the first person to win the Australian adaptation of the show twice, and the fifth worldwide.[4] The season finale was aired on 12 July 2022, with 363 thousand viewers tuning in.
In October 2021, Seven Network released a promotional teaser for the season with the slogan "Back to the Future," revealing that former housemates from previous seasons of Big Brother would return to compete against new housemates.[5] The season was filmed at the White Pavilion in Sydney Olympic Park, the same location as Big Brother VIP, making it the first civilian season to be filmed in the new location, following the demolition of the previous house in January 2021.[6]
The finale was broadcast live from the Hordern Pavilion with all housemates in attendance – which will be the first time since moving to Seven that the show has reunited the full cast due to previous seasons having issues with COVID-19 restrictions in Sydney.[7]
The season is being broadcast in New Zealand via TVNZ Ondemand the day after the episode first airs in Australia, and is then being broadcast on one of TVNZ's linear channels the day after that.[8] The season was originally being broadcast on TVNZ 2, but following poor ratings it was moved to TVNZ Duke airing at mid-day from May 25.[9] [10]
Big Brother 14 airs three nights a week from Monday to Wednesday. Each week, two Housemates will typically be Evicted. For the first time since the 2020 revival, significant additions were made to the Big Brother game structure.
Each episode takes place over 2–3-day of the game, and showcases highlights from the house and house tasks (to determine the shopping budget for the week as well as to award various luxuries) and the Nomination and Eviction process. Regarding the nomination and eviction process, each night features a different episode format. While some episodes modify the format slightly, the typical episode structure is as follows:
Following the final eviction, the remaining three housemates will face Australia's vote to determine the winner. This vote is conducted on the show's website, with voters voting for a winner, with the finalist with the most votes winning.
Introduced in Week 2 was the title of "Head of House". The house will elect an HoH, who will be given total immunity for the week and access to the HOH Suite along with two/three housemates of their choice. They were also granted a unique game power to use during their reign. No Housemate can be Head of House in back to back weeks.
Week | HoH | HoH's choice for Suite Access | Power | Outcome | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
2 | Tully | Drew Tim | At House Nominations, Tully could give Immunity to one Housemate. This was awarded after votes were cast and before they were revealed. | Tully gave Trevor Immunity, cancelling 2 nomination votes against him. | |
3 | Aleisha | Gabbie Lulu | At House Nominations, Aleisha was given 3 nomination votes. | Aleisha cast a vote against Estelle and 2 votes against Dave. | |
4 | Jules | Dave Estelle Tully | At the first Nominations Challenge of the week, Jules could choose one Housemate to sit out. This Housemate couldn't win the power to nominate, but could still be nominated. | Jules chose for Drew to sit out of the Nominations Challenge. | |
5 | Estelle | Brenton Johnson | After the house nomination was revealed, Estelle could choose to save one of the nominated housemate from eviction and replace with another housemate of her choice. | Estelle saved Tully, cancelling 3 nomination votes against her, and replace her spot with Aleisha. | |
6 | Johnson | Jaycee Reggie | Before the second Nominations Challenge of the week, Johnson could banish two of his fellow housemates to the waiting room and are not able to participate in the Nomination challenge. | Johnson banished Brenton and Tim to the waiting room, which prevented them from participating in the Nominations Challenge and was saved from the House Nominations. | |
