A Finale That Left Viewers Arguing
The grand finale of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Australia 2025 sparked heated debates among fans, with many questioning whether the right person won. Former NRL player Sam Thaiday emerged victorious, beating out reality TV star Reggie Sorensen and former Bachelor Matty J. While Sam secured the title and a $100,000 prize for his charity, Find Ya Feet, not everyone was happy with the result.
Was The Win ‘Rigged’ or Well-Deserved?
Some fans were thrilled with Sam’s victory, praising his humour and resilience in the jungle. However, others believed that Reggie Sorensen, a legally blind former Big Brother winner, was a more deserving champion. Accusations of the show being ‘rigged’ for her circulated online, with some arguing that her compelling backstory gave her an unfair advantage in the public vote.
Meanwhile, Matty J’s inclusion in the final three also caused controversy, as some viewers felt he had done little to earn his place over eliminated contestants like comedian Geraldine Hickey and social media star Max Balegde.
An Abrupt and Underwhelming Ending?
Aside from the debate over the winner, the finale itself left many feeling unsatisfied. Some fans noted that the announcement of Sam’s victory felt rushed, with little time for emotional reactions or celebration. Social media was flooded with comments about how the season wrapped up too quickly, lacking the usual dramatic build-up that reality TV finales are known for.
The Legacy of I’m A Celeb 2025
Despite the backlash, the show once again proved its popularity, with passionate discussions continuing long after the final episode aired. Whether fans agreed with the result or not, it’s clear that I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! remains a reality TV juggernaut, sparking conversation and controversy with each season.
