On Sunday’s night launch show<\/a>, host Mel Tracina told viewers they could choose from Jane or Mitch to enter the house the following evening.\u00a0<\/p>\n“I’m a grandmother but not your average grandmother. My suitcase has no tracksuits, it’s all sparkles, heels, bikinis,” Jane said in a teaser clip.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“I’m going to talk some s**t, I’m going to tell some lies, and now I’m single, you better watch out!”<\/p>\n
The Victorian retiree won over the support of viewers and on Monday night she was unveiled as the 13th housemate, but fans quickly spotted a surprising note in her bio.<\/p>\n
Jane describes herself as an “avid and passionate Donald Trump lover”, and some viewers felt they would have appreciated this information when casting their votes on Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Feel a bit dirty that #BBAU tricked me into voting for what I thought was a cool granny when she’s actually an avid and passionate Trump supporter,” one viewer tweeted.<\/p>\n
Another said: “They couldn’t have told us Jane was a Trump supporter before we submitted our votes?”<\/p>\n
“Yikes Jane is a passionate Trump supporter that’s embarrassing, it’s literally in her bio on 10’s website,” a third added.<\/p>\n
The 13th housemate’s full bio reads: “Jane is not the average Big Brother housemate. At 67-years-old, she’s the oldest Australian housemate ever, with vast life experiences.<\/p>\n
“A single mother with two sons and four grandsons, she’s happiest on the golf course with her girlfriends. She dislikes people talking behind her back and, as a straight shooter, she will tackle a problem head-on.<\/p>\n
“An avid and passionate Donald Trump lover, she aims to try to keep her political agenda quiet from the housemates.<\/p>\n
“A funny and loyal person, Janes is ready for the older generation to be represented inside the Big Brother house, and her goal is to win – it’s about time!”<\/p>\n
Big Brother’s much-anticipated reboot has promised to be “the authentic, OG show you fell in love with all those years ago”.<\/p>\n
Viewers can expect live nominations, live evictions and 24\/7 streaming as the show returned to its original home on Channel 10.<\/p>\n
