The Big Brother final is nearly upon us, with just six housemates remaining in the reality show’s latest series. The season has featured backdoor exits, returning contestants, and rule-breaking, culminating in a dramatic final week.
Last night (13th November), two more housemates were eliminated in a brutal eviction. Marcus was evicted shortly after Teja, following a twist involving a gift from The Wizard of Oz. Teja had failed to secure enough public votes to stay, while Caroline and Nancy also departed in a separate double eviction. Nancy was told she had received the most nominations for eviction of any contestant since 2013, with 26 votes, but appeared unfazed by the news.
Earlier in the series, Sam left after 38 days via the back door in a midweek eviction. Zelah followed Farida out of the house, but was booed by the waiting crowd, laughing off the reaction. Farida, meanwhile, departed to cheers, saying: "Are you ready for the tea? I’m so happy to be out, but I had the most amazing time."
Feyisola became the next evictee after receiving the fewest votes among four candidates, telling hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best: "I'm up against three amazing people. It is what it is." Cameron B was also voted out, becoming the first to leave through the front door, while George Gilbert was removed from the house by producers following repeated unacceptable language and behaviour, after receiving several warnings.
Gani was the second evictee of the series, after revealing in the house that he had married his cousin in an arranged marriage, having previously explored his bisexuality. He told fellow housemate Jenny: "I was so open-minded, even though I was from a religious background. I was always like, 'Why not try everything?'"
