Congratulations are in order because Coco has won Big Brother Australia 2025.
It has been a chaotic and wonderful season with Big Brother returning to it’s Channel 10 roots, meaning it was an authentic 2000s styled reality show.
The season kicked off with 13 housemates, who laughed, cried, argued and few even sparked a romance with the other housemates.
But, the season came down to just five housemates for the highly anticipated grand finale.
These finalists were Coco, Colin, Bruce, Allana, and Emily.
Before the brutal eliminations began in order to determine the winner, Big Brother sat the finalists down for one final dinner. Here, they reflected on their time in house, including the highs and lows, and the evicted housemates.
Host Mel Tracina, however, tempted the housemates one final time with a brand-new Suzuki Jimny XL. Both Bruce and Allana wanted the car, and played a game of chance before it was the latter who won. Therefore, she was eliminated from the house.
“I’ve never won anything! I was just pretending that I was on a TV show that everyone was watching,” she excitedly told Mel.
After a few more rounds of eliminations, it was just Coco and Emily remaining.
Coco won an incredible $135,000, but that’s not the only joyful thing to happen during the grand finale. She was finally reunited with her three children, who she openly missed throughout the Big Brother season.
“Thank you so much, you don’t know how much this means to me. Thank you, every single one of you… I’m honestly lost for words,” she told the crowd.
“I went in there and I was myself. My whole life I’ve been myself and it was never accepted, so to be accepted by all of you… my kids finally get their mum full time! There’s going to be presents under the Christmas tree, you name it!”
Following the grand finale, Coco reflected on her incredible win with The Weekly.
“The anticipation of sitting on that couch and watching one person one by one walk out,” she remembered. “I was like, ‘Hold a second. Wait, wait, wait, there’s two people left on the couch!'”
“It already felt like so surreal that just even Emily and I two females sitting on that couch, was just insane.”
It was an emotional reunion for Coco and her children, who would often tear up in the Big Brother house thinking about them.
“It was just insane seeing their little faces, and just how much they had missed me, they grabbed me and they held on to me, and they just did not want to let me go,” she said. “I can still feel [them] clenching on my skin. So it was a really bittersweet moment.”
In a Channel 10 statement following the finale, the network confirmed Big Brother would be keeping an eye on the housemates “until the next batch arrives.”
Which means the hunt for new housemates for another season is coming soon!
