Channel 10 Responds To Big Brother Australia AI Claims In New Promo
Big Brother Australia‘s latest promo had fans gooped and gagged as it showcased Mel Tracina‘s vocal range, the return of the Big Brother fish and a sneak peek into the new “BrisVegas” house. However, some viewers have called out the show’s alleged use of AI. Now, the network has clapped back at the scathing claims.
Last night, Big Brother fans were treated to an absolute treat, with Tracina sharing a sneak peek of the 2026 season, all to the tune of Björk‘s “It’s Oh So Quiet” (Big Brother‘s version).
While the promo was quite vibrant, some fans accused the network of using AI, with one punter speculating that the goldfish also copped the AI treatment.
“Are goldfish that expensive in Australia that you guys had to use AI?” one commented.
“AI usage is a bummer, won’t be tuning in this year because of it,” another penned.
“Are the housemates going to be AI too?” a third joked.
Network 10 responds to Big Brother Australia AI claims
In a statement to PEDESTRIAN.TV, the network responded to fans, revealing they used the magic of CGI to bring Tracina’s elaborate promo to life.
“The latest Big Brother promo features talented host Mel Tracina and a cast of brilliantly choreographed dancers and performers (yes, they are real and yes, Mel can really sing!),” a 10 spokesperson told P.TV.
“CGI backgrounds help bring the magic of Big Brother’s world to life — a world where he is always watching, surprises lurk around every corner, and, of course, Big Brother makes the rules.”
The AI hullabaloo comes shortly after Channel Nine’s The Block was flamed for using AI edits (and songs) throughout its 2026 season. However, post-production executive producer, David Barbour, defended the use of AI, telling P.TV that he views “simply another exciting creative tool that helps us tell stories in new and entertaining ways”.
“The Block has always embraced new ways of telling stories, which has been one of the reasons the show is now 22 seasons in. This season, AI has become another creative tool in our storytelling toolkit,” he shared.
“The heart of The Block remains exactly the same: great contestants, genuine emotion, incredible renovations and plenty of laughs. AI simply gives us more creative options to amplify those moments in entertaining and unexpected ways.”
Despite Barbour’s statement, the show has continued to receive backlash for its use of AI.
As for Big Brother Australia, fans can expect to see the show — and Tracina’s iconic fits — back on their screens in October, and just like Big Brother himself, we will be watching.
