Bree Amer has nostalgia for the Australian reality television series Big Brother
Long ago, the TV segment used to air almost seven days a week, escorted by 24/7 live streaming on the internet. That’s how viewers connected to the contestants of ‘Big Brother’ back then. In the same way, the fourth season of ‘Big Brother’ made the audiences form a close-knit with Bree Amer.
Howsoever, she felt the popular reality show’s reboot on Channel Seven serves lack of content, though the new format is lively and refreshing.
“It needed to come back refreshed. [The old format] was a bit tired and we’re a bit past that. Reality TV has progressed so much,”

At the same time, she sensed something odd about the show. She binged every episode but couldn’t link the dots when Sophie Budak went for Chad Hurst all of a sudden.
“Sophie [Budack] jumped into bed with Chad [Hurst] and kissed him, I was like, “What?! Where did that come from?”
“Because you don’t have the context or the hours to binge beforehand.”
Amer pointed out the tight spot on the reboot version, where audiences could see only limited content. Hence, it led to the low connectivity between audiences and housemates, unlike prior seasons, which notably aired round the clock.
“I think because we do only see a little bit of it [in the new series], I don’t feel as connected to any of those housemates. I don’t care about them as much”
37, Bree Amer was in the constant call to hold hosting responsibilities of the spin-off series, Friday Night Live following the reality show, ‘Big Brother.’ And the show turned fortunate for Amer when a doctor from Wollongong noted a suspicious lump on her neck. The doctor incurred almost $400 in calling Mike Goldman’s Up Late show’s competition line to alert the former Big Brother housemate about a lump in the neck, which she had never noticed.

Amer cast her mind back to the day when she hosted Friday Night Live in 2006.
“When I turned my head on the [Friday Night Live] panel, a lump protruded out of my neck – I had an inch and a half tumor that I never noticed”
Fortunately, the duo kept in touch with one another, and a year later, she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. The lump turned out to be a scary thing. She labeled herself lucky to be in touch with the doctor, who noticed the protruded lump promptly on the TV screen. Amer underwent two surgeries and radioactive iodine treatment in due course. She is completely out of danger, yet she needs ‘monitoring with checkups every six months.’

She took a 180-degree shift from a TV personality to a TV producer. On the Mike podcast in October 2018, Amer revealed she was interested in producing since the early days, so she went for her dreams despite the faint start. She has work experiences in the street casting for the show World’s Strictest Parents as well as fetching contestants for My Kitchen Rules. Amer also includes testimonials of five seasons of MKR, The Bachelor, Bringing Sexy Back, and Zumbo’s Just Desserts.
Even her husband, Evan Wilkes, is a producer of Channel Seven’s ‘Bride and Prejudice.’ With a dream job hand in hand, the couple is parents of two children- a son, Hunter, and a daughter, Harlow.
