Who Has Been Evicted From ‘Big Brother’ Australia 2025 (So Far)?

After days of speculation, it was revealed that Edward Doak had been eliminated from the house, but the twist came with how the news was delivered. During the usual “letter from home” segment, each housemate read emotional letters from their families.

Ed’s letter, however, took a dark turn when it shifted to past tense, revealing he’d already been evicted due to Australia’s votes. The kicker? The letter was from Big Brother himself, not Ed’s family, leaving him in tears over his own elimination.

Fans quickly took to social media, calling the moment crueler than Vinnie’s Christmas carol eviction the previous week.

What began as a playful late-night carolling task quickly spiralled into one of the most talked-about moments of the 2025 reboot, leaving both housemates and viewers stunned as the finale looms just days away.

Housemates were abruptly woken by bells echoing through the Dreamworld house and instructed to race to a makeshift concert stage in festive outfits every time the chime rang. Their task: repeatedly perform Jingle Bells as part of the weekly shopping challenge.

Unbeknownst to them, a far more serious game was unfolding behind the scenes.

Following a tense round of live nominations, Vinnie, Coco and Emily were placed on the chopping block, while Head of House Colin used his save on Allana. Host Mel Tracina then revealed the sting in the tail: voting would only remain open for a few hours, with a snap eviction to follow before sunrise.

Compounding Vinnie’s danger, Edward had earlier unleashed a 10-point “gift” during nominations that landed a crushing 16 points squarely on his shoulders.

As the exhausted housemates launched into yet another round of Jingle Bells, Big Brother rewrote the final verse mid-performance. The lyrics abruptly announced that voting had closed — and that Vinnie was the housemate Australia had chosen to evict.

He was given just 30 seconds to say his goodbyes before exiting the house, still dressed in Christmas gear.

For a fleeting stretch of the season, Abiola felt like the emotional anchor of the Big Brother Australia house. Soft-spoken yet sharp, she won viewers over instantly after introducing herself as a “fat, Black lesbian” on night one.

So when she quietly disappeared from the livestream last week, fans grew suspicious. A missing bed and an offhand remark from a housemate confirmed it: Abiola had taken a $15,000 Christmas cash-out and exited on Day 20. A smart move, but a genuine loss for the season.

Although neither Holly nor Conor was initially up for eviction, both were suddenly pushed into danger after Allana used her save to protect Abiola, reshaping the week’s nominations at the last minute. Ultimately, it was Holly who was sent home, closing the door on one of the season’s most memorable runs.

Holly became known for her forthright opinions and her highly scrutinised relationship with fellow housemate Colin. Their on-again, off-again connection captivated both viewers and housemates alike, but the constant attention and frequent PDA gradually often irked the household.

Speaking with host Mel Tracina following her departure, Holly reflected on her experience with characteristic honesty. “It’s been one hell of a ride. I honestly didn’t think I was going to make it to the finals, so I’m just proud I made it this far,” she said.

“It’s truly been an unforgettable experience. It was a lot harder than I anticipated, but something very, very special has come out of it,” she added, referencing her relationship with Colin.

Before leaving, Holly revealed she had written Colin a final farewell letter in lip liner. “I’m wishing him all the very best. He needs to fly the flag,” she said.

As for how Colin will cope without Holly in the house, that remains to be seen. One thing is certain: he will now have to learn how to stand on his own.

Up for elimination again this week was Jane, the retired Victorian grandmother who topped the tally with 14 nomination points in the second round of this season’s evictions.

Speaking to host Mel Tracina after her eviction, Jane admitted the pressure had been building.

“It was hard because every day in the house I’d been nominated, it’s been really quite difficult. Today was just, ‘Oh, the emotions.’”

Still, she managed to find the silver lining. With her granddaughter’s kindergarten graduation happening on Friday, Jane said she was thrilled to be heading home.

“She will be so excited that I will be at her graduation.”

It caps off a tense week for Jane, who found herself clashing with several housemates after feeling “disrespected” in the house.

Meanwhile, the second evictee of the night, Mia, had her own awkward subplot play out this week.

Mia, who revealed on the show that she’s a virgin, had been quietly crushing on Edward, the 30-year-old South Australian sales manager. Despite Vinnie gently warning her that Ed hadn’t shown much interest, she’d been smitten since day one. But things quickly unravelled when Mia staged a fake phone call to her sister for no obvious reason — a moment that instantly gave Ed the ick and more or less ended any chance of a spark.

“If we’re talking about dating scenes, that’s gotta go,” Ed said afterwards. “I’m saying it’s bonkers.”

Still, Mia pushed through, pulling Ed aside to tell him how she really felt.

“I think from the start I have felt a strong attraction to you and had feelings for you, and I’ve been honest with pretty much everyone except you,” she admitted — only to be gently, but firmly, turned down. Ed told her that her confession “struck a chord,” adding that her behaviour didn’t align with the kind of person he saw himself dating.

On eviction night, Big Brother announced that one lucky fan would be given the power to decide whether Allana or Mia should be the next to leave the house. The caller cast their vote, and ultimately sent Mia packing.

Michael all but predicted his own eviction (the first of the season) before the results were revealed, telling host Mel Tracina that he expected his time in the house to end. He framed it as a numbers game, convinced the younger voting audience wouldn’t favour him in the public save system.

He was also the only nominee who remained entirely unapologetic about his behaviour. Rather than softening his approach, he doubled down on the antagonism that had defined his week, openly encouraging viewers to keep him in so he could continue stirring tension among the housemates.

After his exit was confirmed, Michael told Tracina he was looking forward to catching up on his emails and then seeing his children — in that order, much to the amusement of the live audience.
