Strap yourselves in folks, Big Brother is about to become your new TV obsession for 2020, and boy is the content at a peak.

But sometimes, the show itself isn’t enough to satisfy our thirst for info on the addictive shpw.

Yep, we’re guessing you’ve found yourself turning to Instagram for some extra details – there’s nothing quite like gaining a little insight on the past lives of the quirky contestants.

The eclectic group includes international models, ex AFL-stars and every day Aussies from all walks of life and all age brackets (19 to 62, to be exact).

“It’s just a really good mix of people and great personality types, everything from your shy and retiring to your alpha personalities,” host Sonia Kruger has revealed to WHO.

Moving from Nine to Channel Seven to host Big Brother for a second time, Sonia says the housemates this time around are “compelling.”

The beloved host also confirmed there will be a Big Brother romance amongst two of the housemates.

“I can’t say too much about it, but you will see that unfold,” she says.

“It’s a beautiful romance. It’s not salacious.

“That kind of love affair in the house I’m happy to see,” she told New Idea.

Sonia Kruger is hosting the 2020 season of Big Brother.

With $250,000 up for grabs, Big Brother won’t make it easy for his house guests.

Aside from cooking, cleaning, recycling and doing their own laundry, the contestants will compete in gruelling challenges and games.

Winning challenges in the house could be the difference between winning and losing the entire competition, as Sonia admits this revived Big Brother series is very similar to Survivor.

“Things get a little bit awkward and heated,” she teased to WHO.

“They’ll either vote for whoever has played a brilliant strategic game or they may vote with their heart and go with the person they love the most,” Sonia says.
