West Australian George, 25, and 21-year-old Victorian Ryan, who works in retail sales as well as being a model, entered the Big Brother compound at Dreamworld on the Gold Coast during Tuesday night’s live show.

The final two contestants will enter the compound on Wednesday night to make a total of 14 housemates for the 12-week series being hosted by Sonia Kruger.

George, who is of Greek descent, comes from the remote WA mining town of Newman, while Ryan hails from Melbourne.

One of the twists of this season’s Big Brother is that each of the male housemates has a secret.

It was revealed on Tuesday night’s show that either Ryan or George is a multi-millionaire.

The other secrets include one of the males having the IQ of a genius, while another has been fired from every job he’s had and another is a juvenile offender.

Apart from George and Ryan the other males in the house are: singer Josh, 28, advertising copywriter Michael, 26, and supermarket check-out chap Bradley, 28.

The females are: singer Charne, 31, travel sales rep Angie, 21, beautician Layla, 24, car saleswoman Sarah, 30, advertising account manager Stacey, 24, student Zoe, 23, and public servant Estelle, 23.

AUSTRALIAN swimmer Stephanie Rice is considering walking away from the sport after a disappointing Olympics campaign.

Rice said she could not face another disjointed preparation for a major event after London.

“If preparations are going to be like the one I just had, there is just no way in the world I can keep it up,” she said.

Rice finished fourth in this morning’s 200m individual medley, where fellow Aussie Alicia Coutts won silver behind Chinese sensation Shiwen Ye.

As she considered whether she would swim on to Rio in four years laced with the injuries that hampered her, it got too much.

“I’m in a really tough position now, having to analyse what I want to do,” she said.

“I love swimming. I love competing and representing Australia but if preparations are going to be like the one I just had there’s just no way in the world I could keep it up, it was um . . . it was really tough. . . and, sorry.”

She turned away in tears, had a quick cry, before answering the question.

“The preparation was really tough,” she said.

“Obviously I can sit here and say so many things went wrong and that was the reason why I didn’t do well but at the end of the day I did everything that I could in this preparation.

“If I couldn’t swim I was cross-training and doing whatever, and obviously I would have liked to have done what I know I could have done . . . I would have been much better prepared.

“But the reality was it is not how it panned out for me.

“I definitely walk away from these Olympics disappointed with results and times but really proud of the effort and energy I put in to get myself to this point.”

A serious shoulder injury, which required surgery, prevented the triple Olympic gold medallist from nearing her best in London.

“If I was to continue in the sport I would definitely need some sort of surgery, whether it’s a reconstruction or a clean out,” said Rice, who also finished sixth in the 400m medley final in London.

“I am going to have to weigh up . . . whether I can go through a whole another surgery again and prepare again.

“I definitely need to take a break . . . I would hate to make a rapid decision that I’m quitting the sport, which I think a few people do.

“I have always said I would never be one that quits and comes back to the sport, because I think it’s time to move on if it’s time to end.

“I would obviously hate to finish on a disappointment but I am really proud of what I have achieved in my swimming career and I’m really happy with the person that I have turned into after this really hard prep.”
