“Big Brother Australia” has finally aired its much-hyped Tully comeback on Tuesday night, and it was short and sweet, at least for Drew it was. Plus, more on the Tahan conspiracy theory that just refuses to die down. Is the Big Brother official Facebook page really deleting anti-Tahan comments or did a number of people who have been banned from the site just imagined it?

Channel 9 has been teasing the viewers of Tully’s return in the house for days, claiming that she has a big secret to reveal. And she did return in the house while the housemates were currently “frozen” (part of their weekly task).

To the surprise of the unmoving housemates, the evictee entered and said hello to them with a smack or two on the cheeks. Tully kissed Ed and Tahan, tousled Tim’s hair, thanked Boog for “looking after” Drew, and just said a simple “hi” to Madaline. Jade wasn’t near the group so Tully probably didn’t see her.

But when she got to Drew, that’s when the “secret” was revealed.

First she did something that she said she should have done while she was still in the house: she gave her “house husband” a serious smooching on the lips, while Drew, who wasn’t allowed to move a muscle, didn’t have any choice but to let her. If only he could reciprocate, the kiss would have lasted a lot longer than a few seconds.

So what was her big secret? She whispered to Drew, “By the way, I’m single.”

Not that the viewers were surprised. Anyone who has followed the show from the start must have already known that fact.

But it was still a surprise to Drew, who knew even then that Tully had a girlfriend, Tahlia, while they were getting extra close with each other.

She left as quickly as she entered, though, and was gone after her big reveal, leaving a confused yet very pleased Drew full of questions.

While Drew was delighted with Tully’s visit, a lot of viewers were not.

If Tully didn't attach herself to Drew like a parasite he would of won Big Brother. She just cost him 250k #BBAU @tee_smyth

Does anyone think what Tully said to Drew was disrespectful towards her ex? #BBAU Did the producers force Tully to do this for ratings? — Ingio Montoya (@Ingio_Montoya) October 22, 2013

And what was Tahlia’s reaction to her ex-girlfriend going back to the house to announce that she’s finally single?

Just when you thought someone couldn't stoop any lower. — TAHLIA. (@beginnersblood) October 22, 2013

Way to show Australia you're proud to be a cheater. Good riddance.

— TAHLIA. (@beginnersblood) October 22, 2013

It’s important to note that this was the only time that Tully’s ex has shown a hint of anger in her Tweets. Save for the first time she wrote about being single after watching Tully and Drew exchanged I Love You’s under the bed doona, Tahlia has opted to remain a private person. She even condemned people who were lambasted Tully for cheating on her.

But Tully’s return on screen to tell Drew and to the rest of the world her relationship status most probably infuriated her. As a lot of viewers have perceived, it was a blatant proclamation that cheating on one’s partner was fine and even lauded with an airtime.

Tully, for her part, wasn’t numb to the negative reaction to her BB appearance. She was bombarded with mean tweets, and, judging by her Twitter posts, she took the criticisms well.

@MikkaylaMossop Ahhh Mik tonight has been hard. Nothing I do is right by anyone. Wish we were all together with a bottle of white!
