On Monday night, aerobics icon Marissa Rancan was evicted from the Big Brother house, but it turns out she and fellow contestant Daniel Gorringe came head-to-head in an un-aired confrontation.
Marissa, 61, was sent home after her attempt to play as a double agent didn’t work out and when housemate Chad Hurst informed AFL player Daniel, 28, about her tactics, it was the beginning of the end.
Daniel had an emotional reaction when he was briefly reunited with his girlfriend Ana Cannon via phone, but Chad informed Daniel of what Marissa had said about him behind his back.
“You know what else old mate was saying about you? ‘What kind of 27-year-old mopes and cries about a video call from his ex-girlfriend?'” Chad told Daniel.
But in a chat with Daily Mail Australia Marissa revealed that Daniel approached her to discuss the dig he made about him.
“At the end of the day, Dan came up to me and said, ‘Did you say this about me?’ and I said, ‘Yes I did, Dan,'” Marissa told the publication.
“People are just saying whatever they want to say to make somebody else upset or to get rid of someone and to stay in the game.”
In a post to her personal Instagram account, Marissa shared a still from her eviction along with a caption detailing her time in the Big Brother house.
“My @bigbrotherau 2020 experience was incredible and I enjoyed it 100%!” she penned.
“Wonderful housemates and I made some life long friends that I’m looking forward to catching up with at the finale. Awesome challenges and a fantastic production team & crew ensuring a successful show!! Would I do @bigbrotherau again? ABSOLUTELY! Love you all and thanks for all your support during this wonderful game!”
But it appears there seem to be no hard feelings between Marissa and Daniel, with the latter commenting on the post: “Forget challenge beast, you’re a life beast! You’re an inspiration and absolute star.”
Daniel is currently the bookies’ favourite to win the reality show with Sportsbet placing him at 2.75 and TAB at 2.00.
In a previous chat with WHO, the AFL player admitted that he didn’t have a game plan going and says he’s simply being honest and himself.
“I think that’s what I do throughout the whole experience and whatever was going to happen was going to happen,” he added.
“If being myself wasn’t good enough to get me as far as I could in the game, then that was fine with me because I didn’t want to be anything that I’m not.”
Daniel and girlfriend Ana are back on after a brief split, and the Big Brother housemate says he has eyes for no one else.
“I definitely know that she’s the one that I want to spend the rest of life with,” he told WHO of his girlfriend.
“I think first and foremost we get through the Big Brother experience together and once we’ve come out the end of that, then we’ll reassess. But for me, she’s definitely the one I want to be with forever.”
