On November 13th, 2025, the Big Brother Australia reboot saw its first eviction, with controversial single dad Michael Downs being sent packing after a public vote. Michael, who had angered viewers with his "sexist" views, was up for elimination alongside model Holly and Trump-loving grandma Jane.
When he received the bad news, Michael blamed young women for voting him out, saying "I'm an older guy, and it's younger girls voting. They're not voting for me." Fans were quick to celebrate his departure, with many taking to social media to express their delight. One person wrote, "I'm happy Michael got evicted. Australia made the right call this week," while another slammed him as a "loser."
The eviction comes after it was revealed that Michael was initially cast as an intruder on Married At First Sight 2026, but the plan was scrapped when producers failed to find him a suitable match. Instead, he was redirected to the Big Brother Australia reboot, where executives believed his divisive personality would be "better utilised."
