DANNI’S KEEN FOR CHAT IN THE HOUSE
A TOWNSVILLE mum plans to put the real in reality TV when she makes her Big Brother debut.
Former hairdresser turned call centre worker Danni Keogh is one of 20 contestants competing in Channel 7’s reboot of the reality series.
Described as a “typical Aussie” and a “great listener”, the 34-year-old hopes her outspoken nature won’t get her into trouble with her fellow housemates.
“She is one of those really forthright people,” returning host Sonia Kruger told the Townsville Bulletin.
“My sister is a hairdresser so I can say this – hairdressers are easy to talk to.
“They’re great with strangers because obviously they’re meeting people all the time.
“She doesn’t come in (to the Big Brother house) in the normal sense of the word.”
Seven’s new version of Big Brother has several key differences to the seasons that aired on Ten and Nine.
Most of the 2020 season has been prerecorded at a new, state-of-the-art house in Sydney.
Similar to Australian Survivor, there will be a heavy focus on strategy and gameplay with housemates competing in nomination challenges to win the right to put three of their fellow housemates up for elimination.
With an interest in psychology, Danni hopes her open mind and willingness to learn from others will make her a well-liked housemate.
“The nomination challenges are a bit of a double-edged sword,” Kruger said.
“If you win the challenge, then you win the right to nominate and you’re safe, but unfortunately you nominate three people and the two who aren’t evicted are probably now coming after you. Do you try to win the challenges knowing you become more of a target every time or do you try to be everybody’s friend but go through at the mercy of everyone else?”
>>Big Brother premieres Monday, June 8 at 7.30pm on Seven.
