The Big Brother housemates told us the disgusting things they had to deal with that we didn't see on TV.

Big Brother has shut its doors on a rather refreshing season of reality TV. It was short but sweet and oh boy, we had fun!

Single mum-of-three Coco was crowned the winner ahead of runner-up Emily — making it the first all-female top two for a Big Brother finale since 2003. Huge AND true (and also, grim).

Now that the season has come to an end, we can look back on what those 13 housemates had to endure — in all its disgusting glory.

Watch a debate over 'pretty privilege' unfold in the BB house. Post continues after video.

As the 2025 season aired, Mamamia spoke to the evicted housemates about the grossest parts of inhabiting a house with a bunch of strangers, and yuck.

"You wouldn't believe how messy they all are," 67-year-old Jane spilled.

"They're leaving dirty jocks on the floor, and two of the girls, they wear G-string underwear, and they're just on the floor. Then you go in the shower and their dirty underwear is wrapped up in the towels on the floor."

Okay, yikes.

"It's not my job to pick up all your underwear… then I got sick of all the dirty, smelly towels lying around," Jane continued.

Vinnie agreed that the dirty underwear was his biggest ick. "What I found gross was people's underwear being around. Underwear should be either in your drawer or on your body," he said.

"I went to open up the shower door once, and inside was underwear, and I had no idea who it was. It was ladies' underwear, and I threw it out on the chair. "

Bruce admitted that a vacuum was muchly needed in the house.

"There's so much hair everywhere and we didn't have a vacuum, so like the carpet and stuff, it was just covered with hair and food," Bruce said.

"I think we had two vacuums the whole show. Not ideal, not ideal."

Yuck, yuck, yuck.

For Mia, she couldn't get over all the hair around the house.

"All the hair in the bathroom, there would be haircuts or the guys would shave their beards and they'd leave the hair in the bathroom. I think that was the worst thing," she told Mamamia.

Coco's gripes with the house were a little more personal. "I was pretty vocal about Edward. It was just like every time you get in the shower, you'd see his bum," she joked.

"The hardest part was probably Colin farting all the time. You guys all got to hear it and see it, but we actually had to smell that all day. But you kind of just become accustomed to it. It's strange. How am I getting used to this? This is disgusting."

You don't say! Well umm, thanks for the memories, Big Brother '25.

I need to go take a long shower.
