Big Brother viewers have said they are left "raging" after the latest episode, in which face-to-face nominations saw Pauline and Rob face the public vote. Tuesday's (October 6) installment of the ITV reality series saw housemates choose who they want to be at risk of eviction in front of one another.
Tensions boiled over, and scenes showed Rochelle and Pauline clashing in the bathroom as they prepared for bed. Pauline received the second-most nominations, with five, after Rob. The pair now face the public vote, with one expected to be forced to leave on Friday night.
Nominations under the spotlight
It was the latest incident during the House of Revelations theme to put contestants' opinions of one another under the spotlight. Frankie, Lynx, Omar, Philip, Rhianna, and Yasmin all picked Rob. Pauline received five, from Lynx, Philip, Rhianna, Rochelle, and Catrin. Their reasons included her preference to only want to eat organic foods when they are available. Rochelle, however, questioned this as she had "seen her eating a pizza".
Several fans watching along at home were immediately upset about how the latest nominations played out. Some are even refusing to vote this time around due to the limited choices.
Fans question the outcome
One fan admitted: "Not voting this week - raging Omar got away with it. It’s insane to me. I can’t believe we have to suffer through another week of him." Another agreed: "Craaaazy how Rob is up over Rochelle. The things Rochelle has said and done, and we have Rob up? Insane."
Some believe they have figured out the reason why. The most popular theory was that, because the nominations were face-to-face rather than in the Diary Room, some housemates changed their choices. As one person explained: "It’s easier to nominate Rob face-to-face than it is Rochelle, even though half of them nominated her in the diary room last week. I was really surprised at Yasmin nominating Rob."
What happens next
Meanwhile, one viewer was surprised by Twinks considering her clashes with Omar. They said: "Twinks really annoyed me not nominating him though. If she did it would be 2v1 with a split vote for Pauline and Rob. Omar would have been a goner." One person offered a similar view: "I believe if the nominations were behind closed doors, it would’ve turned out differently. Especially with Phillip trying to save face this time, I imagine the same goes for the other housemates too."
After Pauline suggested she could quit the house before Friday's eviction, one person hoped that if it happened, it would mean the next highest nominated housemates would be up. They said: "I really want Pauline to walk please cause extra drama, Omar and Rochelle will also be up." Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
