With the doors to the Big Brother house officially open, host Mel Tracina teased: “Big Brother has swapped the Gold Coast for the bright lights of Bris-Vegas, and we’ve hit the jackpot with our housemates already.

The house is open, the season is longer, the crowds are bigger and audiences have more power than ever before. Big Brother is always watching, and so is the nation.”

Australian Survivor: Rivals

In a global-first theme, two evenly matched tribes go head-to-head in a brand-new location: Malaysia. Join host David Genat as we see the ultimate clash of sporting heroes, TV stars and everyday Aussies. Familiar faces like Robbie Farah, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Bernard Curry, Lincoln Lewis, Mitch Churi, and Alisa and Lysandra Fraser are just some of the castaways looking to go all the way. They may arrive as equals, but there can only be one Sole Survivor. Australian Survivor: Rivals will premiere Monday, 11 January on 10.

Host David Genat said: “We’ve taken sporting heroes, superfans, famous faces and everyday Aussies to a new location in the brutal but beautiful Malaysia, that will push them to their limits and against their ultimate rival.

Looking ahead to the next season, judge Andy Allen said: “Every year I think we’ve seen it all in the MasterChef kitchen and every year I’m blown away by what our contestants bring to the table. The creativity, the passion and the sheer determination to succeed never cease to amaze me. There’s nothing better than watching talented home cooks grow in confidence and discover what they’re capable of. I can’t wait to see what 2027 serves up!”

The Traitors Australia

After a record-breaking third season, host Gretel Killeen opens her manor to everyday Aussies ready to deceive, banish, and murder their way to a huge cash prize. 

Preparing to welcome another group of unsuspecting players into her manor, Gretel Killeen teased: “I’m totally tickled pink at the thought of everyday Australians coming to play in my manor. I love common people. I may even have married a couple in the past (though, to be fair, that would have been by accident). Butty and I have even talked about redecorating the manor in preparation, so I’ve asked the local mortician for some ideas. And in the meantime, I’ve already made a start on our wardrobe by purchasing two matching pairs of thongs.”

The Traitors US, The Celebrity Traitors UK, The Traitors Canada, The Traitors India, The Traitors New Zealand and more are all available to stream free on 10.
