Six new housemates are in the mix to enter the Big Brother house as intruders.

Sent in to shake things up, original contestants will no doubt feel threatened with the injection of new energy after they’ve already slogged it out for four weeks on basic food rations competing in various challenges in the hope of winning the $250,000 prize money.

Here, Confidential takes a look at the new intruders as well as the contestants who are still in the game.

INTRUDER ALERT

Adriana Fernandez, 53, Stylist, Shellharbour, NSW

Fun, playful and just a little bit naughty, Adriana is a larger than-life fashion stylist.

The married mother of three adult boys wants to show Australia that women aged 45 and over can have a family, run a business and still look fit and have plenty of fun. She believes her secret weapon is her ability to read people. Wise and sassy, she knows all the tricks in the book — nothing will get past her.

Brenton Balicki, 31, Account Manager, Sydney, NSW

A desire to win comes naturally to this confident but sensitive Sydneysider, who counts motorbikes, real estate and music among his main passions.

Brenton will do whatever it takes to win someone over, whether it’s charming them emotionally, physically or through his cooking.

A former fine dining chef at Quay and Tetsuya’s, Brenton would put the prize money towards fulfilling his childhood dream of opening a restaurant.

Alex McCristal.

Charlotte McCristal.

Alex McCristal, 26, Nurse, Melbourne, VIC

Big Brother superfan Alex is a fun fashionista and strategic mastermind.

Identical twins Alex and Charlotte are best friends and friendly rivals who endeavour to be the best at everything they do. Ultra-competitive with each other, the twins are

entering the house as individuals and will each be playing to win.

Alex is a registered nurse who works as a scrub nurse in the operating theatre.

Charlotte McCristal, 26, Nurse, Melbourne, VIC

Charlotte is looking forward to making lasting memories with her literal other half.

She is single and, like the rest of the family, is pursuing a career in nursing. Currently employed as a dental nurse, she describes herself as kind-hearted, honest and bubbly. She’s also an open book who has a tendency to be too trusting and sometimes gullible.

Gabe Criste.

Mitch Giles.

Gabe Criste, 27, Tampoline Park Attendant, Brisbane, QLD

Gabe is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

With his megawatt smile, Gabe doesn’t look like a threat but don’t be fooled — his game plan is to talk sweet and play dirty. Even his friends describe him as “a bit of a savage”.

A passionate foodie, Gabe is not looking forward to living off rations in the house and hopes his big appetite won’t make him a target.

Mitch Giles, 26, FIFO, Perth, WA

A big friendly giant, Mitch is a force to be reckoned with. Mitch has a competitive side like no other and at peak physical fitness, he is ready to destroy anyone that gets in his path.

With brawn and the smarts to back it up, Mitch reckons he’ll dominate challenge after challenge this season while bringing some boisterous, childish fun to the house.
