Big Brother Australia housemates arrive in Sydney ahead of the live finale

The Big Brother Australia 2021 finale is less than 48 hours away.

And contestants from the reality TV series touched down at Sydney Airport last week, ahead of Tuesday night’s live winner announcement.

Housemates Mary Kalifatidis, Gabe Criste, Carlos Castro and Michael Brown were all seen strutting through the domestic terminal on Saturday.

Reality TV matriarch Kalifatidis went casual for the flight in a cream-coloured jumper paired with black tracksuit pants.

The 56-year-old wore her wavy auburn tresses loose as she picked up her luggage at a carousel.

The mother of Married At First Sight alum Martha Kalifatidis wisely masked up amid Sydney’s brand new COVID-19 lockdown, initiated only hours earlier.

By Mary’s side was Gabe Criste, who walked out of the Big Brother house on day 33 of the competition.

After picking up their bags, Mary and Gabe strolled out of the airport with their co-stars Carlos and Michael. 

All four members of the quartet have already been eliminated from contention on the show.

The sighting comes on the same weekend that their fellow evictee, Daniel Hayes, predicted who would win the show on Tuesday night.  

The real estate agent, 48, suspects Marley Biyendolo, 26, will walk away victorious after all others are evicted. 

‘Looking at the numbers, you’d have to say Marley… [his] social game was on point,’ he told TV Blackbox on Sunday.

In addition to being strong on social media, Daniel says, ‘Marley’s the only one who hasn’t been saved.’ 

Marley, Ari Kimber, Christina Podolyan and Sarah Jane Adams are the top four left in the house. 

They are competing for the $250,000 cash prize, after spending more than 60 days in the Big Brother house.

Meanwhile, the Big Brother finale falls on Tuesday – right in the midst of the lockdown which came about after Sydney’s COVID-19 cases grew.   

Channel Seven reported on Sunday that the show was supposed to be filmed in front of a large studio audience.

However that has since changed due to the ongoing pandemic.

Out of the final four, one contender is the clear favourite to win it all, according to multiple betting websites.

As of Thursday, both Sportsbet and TAB had basketballer Marley as the short-odds favourite to walk away with the cash prize.

Sportsbet had the Melburnian at $1.60 to be the last man standing in the house, with Christina lagging behind at $2.90.

Sarah Jane and Ari are at long odds to win, sitting at $7 and $12 respectively.
