Big Brother has started with a new focus on suffering — with the first housemate to be thrown out this morning after a group vote.
The housemates — including a squeaky-voiced call centre operator, a "cranky" grandmother and a self-confessed bitch — have unknowingly been locked out of the house for the first night.
And unlike their predecessors, they have not been given a house of luxury.
The pool is tiny, they share one giant bed and the food, which is served intermittently on a conveyer belt, will fall onto the floor if not caught in time.
To rub salt into the housemates' wounds, Big Brother can secretly access their lockers, and temptations of the outside world will be shown on a giant glass screen.
"To me that looks like prison," new host Kyle Sandilands said.
The insults came thick and fast from Kyle and his co-host Jackie-O, who made it clear they weren't taking the motherly approach of former host Gretel Killeen.
"Are you up yourself?" was Kyle's opening greeting to boxing addict Nobbi.
But a housemate named Bianca — who is keen to prove she is more than "bitch, boobs and brains" — showed her feisty side to a lecherous Sandilands.
"Too many creepy old men out there like you Kyle" she replied when asked if she was planning on sunbaking.
The only married housemate is 1m-tall belly dancer Rima.
Rima, who says she "hates arrogant guys", already has a potential target for what she admits is a "potty mouth".
Council worker Saxon, who claims his job is "not hard work at all", says he wants to show Australia "this is me, whatcha gonna do about it?"
