Channel Ten has been criticized for "reusing" former reality TV participants after it was revealed that one of this year's Big Brother housemates previously appeared on Deal Or No Deal.
Vincent, a 21-year-old barber from Victoria, was a contestant on the Grant Denyer-hosted game show in 2024. During the show, his grandmother supported him, and Vincent mentioned he was competing for his large family.
"There's 108 great-grandchildren in my family!" Vincent told the stunned host Grant Denyer.
In a tense moment, Vincent was down to two cases, containing $50,000 and $75, and received a tempting offer of $18,800 to walk away without opening them.
Fans quickly spotted Vincent as one of the contestants on the Big Brother 2025 reboot, which premiered on Sunday night, sparking reactions on social platforms.
Vincent's crossover from one reality show to another highlights ongoing concerns about TV networks recycling familiar faces instead of introducing fresh talent.
