Pheobe on her Big Brother exit: no malice towards Ebony, and no, she's not an actor
The third housemate out answers for her parting shot, the "actor" claims and the Maltesers divide in two interviews.
Pheobe, the third housemate evicted from Big Brother Australia, has spent her first days outside answering for her exit in separate interviews with WHO and PEDESTRIAN.TV.
It matters because her parting words to Ebony, "I hope you feel guilty", split viewers, and the fallout has not settled.
Does she still hold it against Ebony?
On the night, Pheobe told host Mel Tracina she felt betrayed. WHO reports she said: “It was a situation where I could’ve been saved and she said, ‘I didn’t save you ’cause I know you’re not going go.’ Well, here I am… gone.”
After sleeping on it, she softened. She told PEDESTRIAN.TV: “There's no malice towards her.” Ebony "was put in a weird spot", Pheobe said, and she does not blame her.
Was she cast as an actor?
Viewers dug up her musical theatre background after the house was shown a social post asking whether she was "playing herself or playing a character". PEDESTRIAN.TV reports she has not acted for about three years.
Her answer: “Pheobe is Pheobe. I have always been myself.” She says she applied because she has dreamt of Big Brother for years.
What split the house?
Pheobe told WHO the divide grew after what fans have dubbed "Maltesergate", a row over missing snacks between Matthew and Ryan. In her words: “I think after the Maltesers event, there has been a big divide in the house.” WHO says fans are split on who was in the right.
Who does she want to win?
Kyrah. Pheobe called her “an absolute ball of energy” and told PEDESTRIAN.TV she hopes she takes it home, days after Kyrah survived a close eviction when Marshy pressed the red button.
WHO notes Pheobe also filmed a farewell message for the remaining housemates, and the full message has not aired yet. Whether it does is the thing to watch.
