Big Brother is giving the power back to the public to decide who is evicted each week in a bid to boost its dwindling ratings.
And latest evictee Dixie Crawford says it's a step in the right direction.
Amid a raft of changes this year on the Network Ten show, housemates - rather than the public - have had the final say about who leaves the house.
But the move divided fans.
Despite voting herself out on Sunday night, Crawford said on Monday it would make it more fair.
"It's good to go back to that because the most popular housemates out here in the world - Brigitte, Terri and Travis - they're not the most popular housemates in the house," she said.
Returning to the old style is also expected to add some colour to the show as nominees sweat all week over which housemates put them up.
Dixie, the first Aboriginal contestant, said she felt homesick in the show.
The 21-year-old from Dubbo said it was challenging coming up against Pauline Hanson supporter, 52-year-old grandmother Terri, who she described as "ignorant".
"I found her to be a little bit too set in her ways, she could've eased up and kind of looked at the world through some different eyes," Crawford said.
"But she's lived her life, she's got kids and grandkids, so what's she going to learn from a 21-year-old?
"She's definitely entitled to her opinion and so is Pauline Hanson. I just don't have the same."
For now, Dixie is concentrating on going back to uni, where she is studying mental health.
She's also working up the guts to confront a guy who she has feelings for.
"I have a bit of a crush, and I'm going to chase that up and see what I can do," she said.
"There's no guarantees but see what happens."
