Big Brother Australia 2022 intruder Brenton Parkes may have not made it to the top three, but he’s already found a new way to use his reality TV fame.
Speaking exclusively to So Dramatic!, Brenton revealed he has just launched Followers The Game, a group-focused board game that aims to “take the p*ss” out of social media stardom.
“It is essentially a board game highlighting the extremes of social media to work your way up to 1M followers and you get to play as one of our stereotypical social media characters [sic],” he explained.
The physical copy of the game will set you back $89. However, Brenton is currently offering fans a 30 per cent discount when they use the code ‘BigBrother30’. Five per cent of profits will go to the mental health nonprofit, the Black Dog Institute.
Characters in the game include a “mummy blogger, fashion influencer, bodybuilder, vegan activist, reality TV star, and a ‘Karen'”.

It appears Brenton has already garnered other reality TV stars’ support, with The Bachelorette alum Carlin Sterritt featuring heavily across their advertising.
The “reality TV star” character also looks suspiciously like Carlin.
In fact, many of the characters are pretty uncanny to IRL influencers and we have a feeling they wouldn’t exactly love the portrayal. We’re not naming any names, though!
The reality star description reads: “Even though I have no television or acting skills, after my show, I am a ‘somebody now’ and I love promoting cheap products I don’t actually use myself. I am hot on the outside yet dumb on the inside.” We weren’t joking when we said it was SAVAGE AF!

Big Brother Australia finalist Johnson Ashak also appeared on the board game’s social media marketing, with Brenton saying his co-star “just ordered a hair transplant kit from Turkey” in the game. Yikes! Poor Johnson!
He also posted a challenge with Tim Dormer, both trying not to laugh with their mouths filled with water.
They read out different cards to each other and a bizarre amount of Tim’s cards seemed to be about his breasts? LOL… Alrighty then!
We’re not sure if the game is for us because we don’t enjoy being publicly humiliated but at least it’s going to a good cause!
