Ultimately however it was Tay and Ari who emerged victorious ahead of fourteen housemates – and they couldn’t be happier!
Upon hearing the news that they had been crowned the winner of Big Brother Australia for 2023, Tay and Ari couldn’t hide their joy, saying: “Oh my God, it’s insane. It doesn’t feel real. We did it!”
“We’ve always said we would want to help our family. That is a big reason why we are here,” they said in a statement.
“But we also want to make more memories and travel together and start something of our own business wise. The money will get lots of use.”
It comes after Big Brother viewers flocked to Sportsbet, where many placed their bets behind the housemate they believe would walk away with the crown, and the $100,000 prize money that comes with it.
All season long, Louis was a fan favourite to win, with odds to win of $2.25.
He was followed closely by sisters Tay & Ari (who played as one housemate) in second place with odds of $3.50.
Surprisingly despite being a finalist, blonde bombshell Minee spent the season in the middle of the pack with odds of $8.50.
