Eviction Twist Details
During the nominations, Nancy and Sam received the most votes and were put up for the public vote. Viewers had only 15 minutes to save their preferred housemate, or the other would be immediately evicted. Despite the eviction happening on Tuesday, the identity of the eliminated contestant was only revealed in the latest episode.
Fireworks Night Announcement
Big Brother gathered the housemates in the garden to conclude Fireworks Night. The announcement was dramatic:
Housemates, it's nearly time for Big Brother's Firework Display. But, before we light the fuse, Big Brother has some news. Tonight is not just fireworks night, it's also eviction night.
Sam reacted eagerly:
Finally, some drama, do you know what I mean?
As part of the twist, Sam and Nancy were dressed as rockets—red for Sam and blue for Nancy—and told:
Sam and Nancy, tonight one of you is about to go out with a bang. If the display matches the colour of your rocket, your time in the Big Brother House will go up in smoke, and you will be evicted. Launch.
