The new hosts have been revealed!
Urg
Those are some very ITV2 presenters, aren't they.
But, to be honest, I've got a bit of a buzz for the return of Big Brother. Think I'll at least give it a try until they all annoy me before the end of Day 2.
Great turnaround for AJ after being unjustly fired from BBBOTS! Will Best seems a bit random but I guess there’s already chemistry with AJ from doing previous shows together.
Good that they’ll also be doing the spin-off shows too! I feel bad for Rylan but it makes sense to have as clean break as possible from the Channel 5 days. I’m sure he’ll be a regular on the spin-off.
Bit naff really lol
Excuse me, can we put some respect on the iconic AJ Odudu's name please x
I think she'll be excellent in this role!
The deal with ITV is for two seasons, two six week runs.
The show will be back on UK television for the first time in five years with a brand new series on ITV.
Although Big Brother will air nightly on ITV2, it’s been reported that the opening launch episode will broadcast on ITV1.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “ITV wanted to make sure the comeback landed with a bang so they will kick things off by giving it the most high-profile spot possible.
“They’re hoping that a sensational start will hook the maximum number of viewers on the main channel, then bring them across to ITV2 for the rest of the series.”
An exact start date for the launch is to be confirmed.
AJ Odudu and Will Best will host both the main show and a nightly chat show spin-off.
Each evening will also see live streaming direct from the house available online via ITVX.
Still haven't decided if I am watching this yet.
Launching on the main ITV channel shows ITV have big hopes for its awaited return.
Can’t wait to see what it’s like
I like it! Looks like the show is sponsored by Vinted.
TRAILER DROPS TOMORROW!
IT OFFICIALLY RETURNING NEXT MONTH!
A little preview:
New trailers:
I am getting very excited for its return now.
I want tragic Tik Tok stars like Chelsea Lee Art and Elphaba low key.
I hope it’s a house full of total unknowns to be honest. Make it the social experiment it used to be way back in the day!
I mean....that video explains what Big Brother is and tells us literally nothing new lmao.
They'll definitely be attempting to reel in the younger Love Island demographic who only know that and haven't grown up with Big Brother.
I'm excited for this, but I just really hope ITV don't take the same approach as Channel 5 and flood the line-up with z-list celebrities, influencers, etc. Normal, actual civilians please.
Housemates in hiding just so they can all go "Oh My God" when they get their first look inside the House
Officially coming 8th October!
I am beyond excited that BBUK is returning.
This seems to have a lot more hype and investment compared the Big Brother in Australia which had it's 3rd reboot a few years ago on it's third network. Unfortunately, things did not go well here, they actually have a full season that has yet to make it to air.
I have a better feeling about the BBUK Reboot, I just hope ITV is able to make a name for itself holding Big Brother. Honestly, for me BBUK started going downhill after BB7.
Channel 5 may have had a good season or two, but the only decent one that sticks out in my mind was the last one (I'm not counting any CBB series).
I'm optimistic, but I want this to feel more like the C4 Series. Back to basics. Avoid the horrible casting they know they've done in the past. Give us something simple to draw us back in.
Official press release:
Big Brother: The Launch will see a new cast of carefully selected housemates, from all walks of life, become the first people to take up residence in the brand-new Big Brother house as they arrive at the famous destination in front of a live studio audience.
Given its own contemporary new look ready for this reimagining of the show, the iconic Big Brother house will play host to all the action - clever tasks, nail-biting nominations and live evictions will be back. The public once again plays a crucial role, voting throughout the series and ultimately determining the winner, who will walk away with a life changing cash prize.
Big Brother will be followed each night by Big Brother: Late & Live - an exciting new commission hosted live by AJ Odudu and Will Best from the site of the Big Brother house in front of a studio audience - giving viewers an additional hour of exclusive Big Brother content. Big Brother: Late & Live will be the only place to watch the evictees first live interview alongside an array of unmissable exclusive features including access to the camera runs, celebrity guest commentary and debate plus weekly nomination results.
The iconic Big Brother: Live Stream also makes its return to screens, airing seven nights a week exclusively on ITVX, giving fans the opportunity to watch live footage into the small hours after Big Brother: Late & Live.

They seem to gel really well!
I wonder if they will pretend the C5 era didn't happen like Channel 4 did.
I don’t think they should! Perhaps depending on if they discuss Celebrity Big Brother, I guess, cos that was undeniably better on C5 than C4. The main series probably doesn’t have too many highlights to draw out for discussion, bar maybe the “fight night” with Isabelle etc.
YOU SWUNG AT MY FACE!
*charges up the stairs towards Ellie*
Iconic series x
Iconic!!
I do think there are some fairly iconic moments, some for good and bad - Helen Wood unfortunately as disgusting as she is was a pivotal moment, Gina Rio had some hilarious moments, Lateysha being shock evicted, Jaynes diary room rant
And...I do think that's it oops. Unless I'm missing some obvious moments.
Ahh i'm so excited for it to come back!
I loved both C4 and Channel 5! I wonder if they’ll bring back the celebrity version next year?
I hope this does well!
Slightly less than 1 week to wait.
Lots of rumours that Max Balegde is going to be one of the housemates. REALLY hoping this is false, because my god that would make this return totally insufferable
I absolutely HATE him, I think it is probably fake news.
If he is in it I don't think I could watch it lmao. He is absolutely insufferable and such a horrid pick me gay.
I'd prefer unhinged TikTok stars if we HAVE to go down that route - Chelsea Lee Art, Elphaba, Gemzino, Evil Queen, at least they have a personality 😭
OMG the way i'd love Elpha, CLA or Evil Queen
Is it possible that if he's in there people could see through his act? Is that too much to hope for?
I don't think he is in, they apparently went I to hiding a week or so ago and he has posted content since then!
THANK GOD!
I wouldn't put it past ITV to not do hiding and have these kind of fame hungry people in.
There were also rumours of the Baggs Brothers mum too gross.
Im looking forward to its return but im been cautiously optimistic to see how the changes etc work, im really hoping the housemates are just normal people from everyday life like how it was at the beginning, i think thats what most of the audience want but im not sure its what we will get.
I think the silly rumours about Max Balegde are very hopefully people chasing clout, knowing we’ve got next to no info I think people know that if they make something up it will spread easily amongst fans. I bloody hope so anyway, that would single handedly put me off.
I just can’t bring myself to be optimistic as much as I’m excited to see the show back, I don’t trust ITV All they need to do is actually have a diverse cast of normal people, let them do the talking not silly twists etc, and it’s always going to be a winning format, so I hope they just keep it simple with real people, that’s all it needs!
Yeah i’m not believing the rumours, it just people trying to get attention I think, well I hope. Obviously we want relatively normal people in there but a lot has changed in 20+ years with social media it’s hard to get the likes of people we had in the first few years of the show. As long as it’s a diverse group then i’ll be happy
It seems very much like normal people and lots of diversity.
Age range for this series confirmed as 18-50s - ‘we have people between 18 and in their 50s. It’s certainly no love island cast’
Big Brother will return ‘with a PERSONALITY’ according to exec producers. #BBUK
"There's a whole new generation that don't know Big Brother at all. So we have been looking at the role of Big Brother and how they might have more of a personality and a character. People will see the role of Big Brother slightly changed, not in any way that distracts from the format, but we're just playing with what the voice of Big Brother is and how it interacts with the house."
A diverse, fun and entertaining cast please 🙏 I want DRAMA
I wonder if the "Get [insert new housemate name here] Out" chants will be back or if they'll be banned
I do hope we get ‘normal’ housemates from all walks of life but the reality TV landscape is completely different to the C4 era. C4 era was much more slower whereas all reality TV now is so fast paced in the editing and the drama. Audiences now expect drama on Day 0 which ain’t happening unless you have people performing for the camera. If the first series was aired now, it’d be taken off air after a week.
I’d say the last C5 series was back to basics and more along the vision of what I’m expecting from the ITV series. I know it had already been cancelled at that point but it wasn’t as though that was able to attract the audience. I just think what people say they want and what they then actually want are different.
The internet has also changed reality TV massively. Nowadays if you want to be famous in some way, it’s pretty easy with TikTok/Insta etc and so I’m sure they’ll be at least one or two with a big online following.
The Big Brother app is now available!
It includes merch.
THIS TRAILER/INTRO THEY SHOWED TONIGHT
From the compilation show shown tonight I find Will Best try hard and annoying as SHIT. I wish they kept Rylan and had him with AJ
The garden looks amazing!
The garden
The Diary Room Chair has been revealed.
16 housemates
The way that I’d made peace that this would never come back and now I’m suddenly unbelievably hyped like it’s never been away. Ready to feel every single emotion again for the next six weeks <3
It looks amazing! Those that were there tonight are leaving great reviews on twitter?
Aww Rylan!
Bless Rylan. He'll more than likely struggle tonight
God I'm so excited This show means the world to me though. I've watched every UK series since the second all the way back in 2001. I never thought we'd get it back when it ended in 2018 so I feel like a kid the night before Christmas.
Omg Jase, I feel the exact same! I never thought this day would come after it was axed.
I'm SOOO excited. I hope it does well so we can continue to have many more seasons.
I started watching from BB7 with Nikki!
I absolutely LOVED Emma Willis as a host so i'm sad she's not back but she seems at peace with that and she's fully supportive. I also loved Rylan on Bit On The Side but I do kind of agree with 'new channel, new host(s)'.
I'm loving the chemistry between AJ & Will!
I'm so so excited, I can't remember the last time I was this excited for a TV show! Maybe since.....Big Brother itself lmao. The Traitors finale as well I guess.
I have good faith this will be good and the casting will be decent, I just hope it doesn't follow the same fate of the last c5 series which had a good cast but ultimately was a bit dull.
HELP
I feel the same as you two, excitement levels are HIGH!!
I could not be more excited! This show was my LIFE for its entire C4 and C5 eras so it's very surreal to see it back. I'm intrigued to see of it still has me as obsessed as I was when I was a teenager!?
I hope there is a range in the casting - that's my big wish.
Just over 4 hours, bring it ON!
(I won't be able to watch Mon-Saturday next week because I'm away with work then I have Madonna but Sunday is CATCH-UP day and then I'm not missing a second)
Does anyone know how non-UK people can watch?!
Im so excited for tonight!
Although I seem to be in the minority that is glad they haven’t brought Rylan back!
I'll give it a watch see what it is like. Intrigued by ITV's offering.
So excited for tonight!!
25 mins!!
He's already annoying me.
I'm assuming this isn't live? It doesn't feel live.
Now that he's quitened down Jenkin isn't too bad, I'm glad they are all every day people!
Was VERY concerned it would be a Love Island/Ex on the Beach/Geordie Shore love-in and an instant turn off.
I mean... Paul
The cast started out so strong but I’m kinda starting to loose interest with the last few
Such a diverse, interesting mix of characters! They got it spot on with what the fans are asking for I think. I'm impressed.
Olivia is just acting like a little brat.
Didn't feel the same probably just me that it wasn't live.
Saw Farida on Blankety Blank the other week, I think.
Suuuuch an amazing diverse cast, no notes. The editing was a bit all over the place but that's about it, and I hope the Tories go first vile. But I do get you have to have every walk of life in there, I just wish they weren't part of it 😍
Really surprised everyone is hating on Olivia for having a reaction to it, I don't love her, but let her bring the drama! I'm glad she can redeem herself.
Oooh I’m absolutely loving it so far! The cast seems pretty great and I love that tension is already there
AJ & Will are great together, especially on Late & Live. I’m really enjoying them presenting the show.
I’m kinda glad Olivia can potentially stay as we need that drama!
Presenter wise AJ I'm slowly warming to. I like Will I find him more natural, the new theme music I'm still on the fence with.
Olivia I don't like at all but housemates like her are needed to stir things up. But overall I think it's all looking promising.
Not Noky voting Jenkin as least funny 😭 I'm screaming.
Same!
Also, Noky is absolutely STUNNING
Jenkin is hot as f*** but I hope he calms down, he’s quite annoying pick me but I think it might be launch night adrenaline and nerves.
So far my faves are Yinrun, Trish and Farida, I feel like Farida could go either way though. Olivia is going to be entertaining for sure, it’s kind of camp how OTT she’s being over what Jenkin said when it’s just an off the cuff first night thing and you have to say someone, I thought she was sealing her fate but I assume she will easily be saved with what is a really easy task.
Loving the vibe so far, it does feel very natural and classic BB. It’s just normal people and a range of people which is what we need to be honest, that’s the core of Big Brother.
Def agree they all seem normal people that any of could live beside and I think that's what the core audience want with big brother.
Really enjoyed the launch night and the drama already... *.*
Echoing everyone in that Yinrun is my fave so far. But a really solid bunch on the whole! I'm excited to see more of Yinrun, Trish, Noky, Paul (Sports Directs version of Paul Mescal, no???) & Farida (agreed with Liam in that she could go either way). Based on first impressions I'm gonna predict Yinrun & Paul as the final 2.
Ngl as cruel as it has been for him I'm really happy that Jenkin has been "targetted" the most with these challenge things as I think it's actually calmed him down and made him a lot more appealing as a housemate. I get that it was first night adrenaline and nerves etc... but he was becoming annoying very quickly, but I kinda think this will help him calm down a little.
So Paul is on only fans and apparently photos are all over twitter
Launch night got 2.5 million - is that good? Idk.
Oh wow!!
Hoping they can keep figures high!
Those figures are insane! I am super shocked and pleasantly surprised. Hope it can maintain healthy numbers now.
I feel like those figures will drop once it moves over to ITV2 as more people obviously watch ITV1 but still it’s a good start !
Not Paul being outed as a transphobic on Twitter ugh
Just caught up and the presenters and the cast (bar the 2 Tory guys), are great. HYPE!
It’s received 1.19 million more viewers than the premiere of the latest season of Love Island.
So thankful that they actually came through on their promises and we got a proper Big Brother cast who are from all walks of life. This is what the show is about at its heart and so already a major step up from the first C5 series!
The house looks great (if a little too big oop) and the launch night twist was right level of adding some drama without being too forced. I think it’s pretty easy for Olivia to get that immunity though and I wonder if that was planned before or after she was chosen given her reaction to being put up!
The actual production side of the launch night though was a mess. I’ve never been so thankful for ad breaks because I could barely breathe at the pace they were chucking them in there! I’d blinked and two more had gone in. If they were going to rush it like that, I feel they’d have been better off just ditching the live audience/studio and just show them walk straight into the house. I do feel it lost the launch night charm. It wouldn’t be Big Brother if there wasn’t something to moan about
Immediate faves were Yinrun, Trish and Farida. I already know Paul will make the Top 2, if not win, and probably be part of some form of romance. We’ve all been here before…
Our Olivia hates men! Paul better not try it
Just starting watching yesterdays launch (so I can fast forward the ads etc )
Not sure this needs 2 presenters... AJ isn't great. Will is though - I guess she is a bigger name, but he just seems way more natural at presenting.
I think AJ is waaaaayyy better than Will! He comes across as cringey/try hard where as she's more natural! But thats just me.
AJ 100% fits the role the better but neither are the best
Agree that they only need one presenter that was my only negative from yesterday
Jenkin had a bit of a mare throughout that launch - funny though!
Overall a good group of HMs (mostly) - nice diversity and a range of different personalities. Kinda feels like Olivia has first out written all over her; but i'm sure things will change during the course of the week.
Think Noky is my early fave... that and the fast-forward button
AJ is a queen periodt. Will is quite charming and easy on the eye
Olivia already kicking off the moment she entered the house when the prosecco was finished
Farida was a TA in my partner's school last year! she's been EVERYWHERE. Loads of other TV shows too.
Yinrun my favourite after night 1! But loving the cast loads.
omg what did your partner think of her? did he think she was nice?
I enjoyed both hosts! I've seen AJ hosting before and I love her, this is my first experience of Will but they worked well together I thought.
Launch show was really good, the cast is spot on and feels beautifully diverse - just the way BB should be. It was definitely rushed, though I'd rather shorter introductions and a bit of house action at the end instead of the full 90 minutes dedicated to them walking in. We'll get to know them best inside the house after all!
He didn't work with her directly but he'll get the gossip from those that did I'll make sure of it!
Hmmm Noky isn't going to last long if she keeps shouting at everyone to be quiet
That was such a lovely opening scene - Hallie coming out as trans with nothing but respect and Olivia politely asking everyone their pronouns and showing how EASY it is.
This has been such an amazing episode so far, and thank God Olivia is safe what great TV she is!
Olivia is making me SCREAM this episode, she's not going to be everyone's cup of tea but she makes for such good TV. Think she could go far now actually.
I do feel for Jenkin this episode actually, he's not my favourite but he's had such a rough time.
Yeah, this has been such a special opening episode imo, so happy to have it back
Absolutely love Olivia, what a standout
That episode highlights why the show is still needed and is relevant! Lots of different life experiences and viewpoints coming together in a way that is just not seen in any other reality show. More diversity in one episode than in ten series of Love Island.
The casting looks to be perfect so far, a real great mix. I’m actually shocked!
I just hope Yinrun doesn’t get isolated.
Ohhh i'm absolutely loving this.
So happy to have BB back, i've missed it so much. It's so nice to see 'normal' people, I didn't realise how much we really needed that back on reality TV.
I'm really liking the housemates tbh, I find Jordan quite funny.
I feel like this season has the possibility to have quite a bit of fireworks!
Yinrun asking Henry how she can be more entertaining on Late & Live. MY HEART. 😭😭😭😭
She's so adorable!
Also, not them doing a "guess whose phone these texts came from" and two people in the audience suddenly deciding it must be Yinrun after one of the texts joked about cooking their dog. Me and my housemate just looked at one another like ...casual racism. WHAT EXACTLY helped you come to that decision?!
The racism jumped out for sure!
I love Yinrun!
I am very impressed with this series so far, it has the makings of potentially been a great series as i think they have got the cast right, its just great having the show back, ive always said its by far the best of reality shows.
To win betting odds;
6/1 Hallie
6/1 Yinrun
8/1 Dylan
8/1 Jenkin
8/1 Kerry
8/1 Paul
10/1 Chanelle
12/1 Jordan
14/1 Matty
18/1 Farida
18/1 Tom
20/1 Noky
20/1 Olivia
20/1 Zak
25/1 Henry
28/1 Trish
I'm really not sure who will go first, Olivia was the obvious but she will stay for a while now I think.
I'm thinking Henry, Chanelle or maybe a shock in Farida or Jenkin? It could just come down to nothing.
Also depends whether they stick to 'vote to evict' or move to vote to stay. Honestly, hoping for the latter, as vote to evict always gets rid of the characters and allows those who do very little to skate on by.
I think Jenkin and Jordan are my faves so far, Jordan gives me Alex from BB3 vibes, not your typical contestant but very quirky.
Olivia is by far my least, probably good for drama but very fake and 2faced is what I get from her along with very attention seeking.
If it is Farida and Jenkin, that'll make for a wild first eviction as both are fairly well liked by the public! Exciting to see.
Ideally for me it'd be one of the ones not contributing much but you can't have it all.
Watched the Launch and Episode 2 last night.
That Launch, eek. I have to say Channel 5 was on par with how they produced the live shows in contrast to Channel 4. I wasn't sure what to make of that hot mess. It's giving Big Brother Australia 2nd reboot. Overproduced and the VTs were pretty low quality.
Everything else however, very good!
They all seemed like great housemates with great potential, but now I'm starting to see some favourites rise to the top and a few that I know I won't be throwing my support behind. I'm glad this is back!
Seems pretty great!
I’m thinking Jenkin might be first out sadly, it will be him or Farida up for sure. I pray it’s vote to save and one of the boring ones are nominated and they go. I think it might be tbh because this reboot does seem to be more positive leaning, they’ve said to be kind to the housemates etc, so I think that vote to save fits in with that but then vote to evict is such a classic key BB thing so idk. I just think in 2023, where there’s more a duty of care to reality contestants etc., there’s not really in place for vote to evict as sensitive/“woke” as that might sound?
It’s only been two days but the only thing I kind of wish is that the cast was a bit smaller? There’s a fair few giving absolutely nothing who are filler, but I think that might be more down to there being bigger characters and a lot of people who are more muted just can’t get a word in. It will be a huge shame to lose say Jenkin or Farida first and be left with the likes of Zak, Marty, Tom and Paul.
The scene with Olivia singing Donald's Where's Yoor Troosers
Everyone i've spoke to in real life has been absolutely loving this reboot! Love hearing all the positivity
This series is already better than the last like 10 series for me, it’s been great and so fascinating to watch. If I was in there I’d personally be voting Farida, as lovely as she seems she’s so loud and in your face. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s the first out.
Another great episode, Hallie dealt with Faridas questioning in such tact - her questioning came from a good place even if it was worded in a dodgy way potentially.
I definitely have some stronger opinions forming today. The "lads" of Zak, Dylan and Paul are coming across surprisingly pleasant and nice, I enjoyed how much they were looking out for Yinrun today as well as the conversation with Matty at the party and making him feel welcomed among a group of people he's obviously not used to hanging out with. It was a heartwarming moment that I wasn't expecting (and Matty seems so pure, he's a favourite so far). I'm loving Yinrun more and more every time I see her, she's so innocent and cute the scene with Trish and Dylan and the razor was brilliant too.
On the other hand, Chanelle hasn't offered anything positive at all yet so she's one of my least favourites. Olivia's proving to be a nuisance - I know she meant well when she spoke to Yinrun but I thought it was an unnecessary way of approaching it. Can't say I'm liking Henry that much either, even away from his political views.
I could tell Farida meant well with the questions she asked Hallie, and the latter took them exceptionally well when she owes nobody an explanation of her life at all (Hallie being such an open book is amazing, she doesn't have to do it but I'm so grateful as a viewer that she is, because it's so eye-opening and inspiring). I'm glad they both clarified their positions at the end. Can see how Farida's starting to rub some people up the wrong way so noms are inevitable sadly.
Kerry jumping out of bed immediately to get Jenkin some clothes from his suitcase!
I found the task tonight a bit crap but apart from that it was good.
Nominations not being revealed until Thursday! Going to give us a fairly short window - I swear it was always Tues/Wednesday in the C5 era.
Will Best is SO good on Late & Live. Such a natural.
"Yinrun just makes your heart smile doesn't she?"
YES.
Only on BB could you really get what we had tonight, Farida could have been a lot more tactful in the way she asked things, but for a Muslim woman of her age to actually be willing to learn is lovely to see. And I think a lot of young people wouldn’t have been as graceful as Hallie was, acting that way allows Farida to be educated instead of causing a divide or a clash, she is such an incredible role model for the trans community.
Another great episode, they go so quick!
Yinrun, is just everything! I didn’t appreciate how Olivia spoke to her but I don’t think it was meant in a harsh way.
Zak & Matty have grown on me a lot this episode.
I can only echo how nice it was to see the straight men be so nice to Matty and tried to make him feel comfortable.
I feel like Farida will be up for nomination and potentially Tom.
I’m still really liking Jordan and I actually like Henry too despite him being a Tory.
I feel Farida’s questions were not meant in a disrespectful way, I think she just definitely is not used to trans people. At first I was very much questioning how she was saying it but she genuinely seemed like she wanted to be educated. I do wish people would stop bitching about Farida, it’s uncomfortable to see.
The shopping task coming up reminds me of classic big brother which I absolutely love.
Will is great on Late & Live, I'm really loving him and AJ.
I'm enjoying this. They've clearly learned from the likes of The Traitors when it comes to casting. I think it's great to have such a diverse cast from all walks of life and see how people interact with each other. I'm also enjoying the social experiment angle which got lost in the latter series I watched before I gave up completely on it post C4.
Found last nights episode a bit of a bore, but episode 3 was way better. I think 16 housemates is too many still. And surely in the next week they will introduce 2-4 new housemates as well. It's definitely got potential, although it has the potential to become 'boring'. Saying that, I think you'll get 1m loyalists to BB who would just watch it regardless so who knows.
7/2 Yinrun Huang
7/1 Hallie Clarke
7/1 Jordan Sangha
11/1 Dylan Tennant
12/1 Jenkin Edwards
14/1 Kerry Riches
14/1 Paul Blackburn
16/1 Chanelle Bowen
16/1 Olivia Young
20/1 Tom Bryant
20/1 Trish Balusa
20/1 Zak Srakaew
22/1 Matty Simpson
25/1 Henry Southan
33/1 Farida Khalifa
33/1 Noky Simbani
Such early days but Yinrun 7/2 already
Kerry is continuing to give me bad vibes, there’s something off with her…
How Zak was with Hallie I need him in my life.
Another good show! They really do fly by.
I shoved a tenner on Farida on being first evicted @ 4/1. Surely that's easy money?
I mean Farida is annoying but I get a Karen vibe from Kerry. I can see her saying something and getting thrown out.
I didn’t like how kerry worded what happened to Hallie after either.
Also Farida was right everyone should be involved in the shopping list. I’m sorry but all the others did was sort paper clips for a day.
In other news I’m loving Jordan and Yinrun. It makes me sad Yinrun feels people don’t bother to have proper conversations with her. It’s nice to see her and Trish together.
Farida can be annoying and i do see what people are saying about Kerry, she could be the sneaky one of the group with a smile. Jenkin although didnt get much airtime tonight) Jordan and Yinrun are my top 3 faves so far and Trish is growing on me aswell.
I’ve never been so obsessed with a housemate as quickly as I am with Yinrun. Love her and Trish’s friendship
Hallie, Yinrun and Jordan are my early favourites, personally considering everything going on with our idiot government I'd love to see Hallie win as a big FU to them. Still won't change anything as obviously it's a tv show, but I feel if she goes early it's another win for them thinking the public aren't behind our trans community. I've taken myself off FB based sorely on the comments you can't miss on Big Brother articles about her, it's horrible.
https://www.itv.com/terms/articles/big-brother-2023-voting-terms-and-conditions
"The public will be able to vote which nominated housemate(s) they wish to see leave the Big Brother house"
Vote to evict confirmed.
I think if it's vote to evict it could low key ruin the series - despite what you think of them imagine Farida, Olivia, Kerry and Henry going back to back. Hopefully somehow people use their brains and get rid of people who are just boring.
Really it depends who's nominated. I mean its not like old BB was that affected with dull HMs being kept in (BB4 aside). I mean big characters have lasted the distance before and even gone on to win it.
Also with the Series being kind of short, I think with the amount of HMs it should be fine.
We also don't know if its still the 2 (or more) with the most votes face eviction as per old skool BB. Or if they do what Channel 5 did and mess with them on a weekly basis depending on who they wanted to be up. If it is basically the top 2 up, then it doesn't matter if its vote to evict or vote to save.
The public are SO fickle, if one lively housemate does something one week and they're up for eviction, they'll be out. Big Brother has always been like that unfortunately and left with some right dull ones. Then the public complain that the series is boring.
The more housemates that they put up for eviction, the more it makes a difference so hopefully ITV learn from that and we go back to the top 2 with the most nominations. The more you have up, the more likely the bigger personality will be evicted as we saw with Nicki in BB7.
I genuinely feel like Kerry might end up being a MASSIVE villain, give her a couple of weeks
Hoping big personalities are not voted out!
Confirmed as vote to evict ugh.
Aside from it getting rid of big personalities quickly, in a series where they're trying to push positivity, it seems off? Going out and knowing you're hated isn't exactly positive? Where as vote to save takes that away somewhat.
I cannot ABIDE Kerry atm Christ she is so miserable. It would be so iconic if she was first out bc she absolutely crashes in the next couple of days lmao
Kerry and Farida up, get Kerry out!!
Not our 2 entertaining queens facing the first vote :/
Wouldn't be disappointed if they both go tbh
Twitter is being overdramatic I feel, I don’t think it’s going to ruin the season if either leaves, like I don’t think the whole is boring just because Kerry is taking up half the episode pretending to be Nikki Grahame and Gemma Collins As much as I’d prefer either to stay and bring entertainment over someone boring, it’s the nature of the show especially when it has vote to evict I guess. With someone that has such a big personality gone, the quieter ones
I mean Ashleigh Coyle for example, she was practically mute for a good 2-3 weeks, and then she was a fan fave. I think Chanelle for example has that potential, and it would be nice to see more of others.
I’m sorry but I really don’t like Kerry, the comments of not being used to a person like Farida, she keeps giving me racist Karen vibes.
Plus she’s obviously putting on her tantrums and trying to act like old housemates.
I wish the boring not entertaining housemates were up.
Kerry is crying out for the attention. She can’t be disgruntled in peace, she needs everyone to notice how annoyed she is!
It will be a shame to lose the feud but I’m happy to lose Kerry if all she’s going to do is moan.
It’s a shame either is going so soon tbh as I would have loved to see there back and forth tension continue on in the show . Out of the two though I want Farida to stay so I’ve voted for Kerry !
Probably the right 2. Then the focus can move elsewhere next week away from who’s the Mum of the house
I think Farida will be evicted but I do think it'll be close
I think it will come down to tomorrow’s edit but if it’s anything like tonight for Kerry I think she’s going!
Yeah I don't get how despite your opinion of them both, could you see them as not entertaining!
A real shame this will be the TWENTIETH consecutive female first evictee, that's low key f***ed up.
Both bring drama to the show but sometimes when characters like these leavd it gives a chance for others to shine or provide drama, I have no doubt olivia is a ticking time bomb to drama as I think she is annoying a few of the housemates. I really don't know who I want to go 2m night to be honest out of the 2 Farida seems to be more genuine but blows too much smoke up her own arse, kerry seems less genuine and I agree what others said trying to hard to be like former successful contestants.
Great first week to the show overall, love Will on big brothers side show he fits it so much better than AJ.
I don't find Kerry entertaining at all. I just find her whiny, miserable and incredibly irritating. I feel like Olivia gets the "annoying but entertaining" balance PERFECT for me (like, she'd be a nightmare to live in the house with but also fun and entertaining at the same time). Would I prefer one of the dullards (Daryl, Chanelle, Tommy & Paul) out before her? Yes. But she's definitely my least favourite in the house by quite some distance still. Touching on what Jack said above though, it's sad that this will be the 19th Big Brother civilian series (out of 20) where a woman will be evicted first. (Marco Pierre White Jr. was the first to be evicted from Series 17 after Victoria Jensen decided to walk and Andrew T*te was ejected!!
Also, as much as I am enjoying this series (and I actually am!) does anyone else find the editing kinda off? Almost like they edit things TOO short? I feel some scenes just feel either not fleshed out enough or just abruptly end... (maybe it's just me but meh)
Oh yes I forgot about Marco!! I was just remembered of it by Twitter and they left him out.
That's still an insane amount of women to men though and really needs to be studied. Do men take longer to "fit in" in general and end up going under the radar so avoid first week nominations most of the time or is it something else entirely? (sexism? were they genuinely more annoying? etc..)
I didn’t realise how many first evictees got shafted by twists really - Anamelia was the coin thing and Mandy was evicted by Tom (albeit after being bottom 2 in the public vote). Sallie as well was nominated by Michael when he was the “people’s puppet”, although I do think she would have gone first anyway for sure Bonnie as well it wasn’t straight nominations it was the Big Brotherhood thing, then Stephanie as well it was only because of the secret mission where she had to pretend it was her instead of Lisa who was with Mario which was just… odd?!
I suppose you could say Kerry/Farida here too since I think Olivia would probably have been evicted over either one. It’s wild how many twists there have been week even if it’s something small like someone getting immunity, but sometimes to keep someone entertaining such as Olivia it’s needed.
I forgot about Anouska, that was possibly the worst one for me! Because that entire series was dull and the only who had anything memorable or a type of personality pretty much was first out because she was a bit louder on launch so was nominated
The biggest robberies for me were Stephanie, Anouska and Anamelia - especially the latter two, imo the series were so deathly dull after they went.
Yeah BB4 had a pretty bad track of evictions with the first 3 all being the feistier women. OK Justine wasn't that feisty, but I remember her annoying quite a few HMS.
Then the double eviction took out the 2 Male HMs causing any drama with Federico and Jon going.
Then Tania went and there was barely anyone in there to cause any drama at all. I mean you don't always need conflict, but there didn't seem to be anything really driving BB4 by the mid-point.
Just catching up on last night and I'm tearing up listening to Farida talk about her past And Hallie showing so much empathy; she's SO mature for her age. Love her.
Hallie is an absolute angel, to be a 18 year old trans girl on TV in this political climate and still be the first one to comfort/console/listen to everyone is insane! Like I can’t imagine how scary and hard it must be for her but she still makes time for the others and is there for them instead of just moping around or being withdrawn.
Fingers crossed for Kerry to leave, even though i'd like both her and Farida to stay for the drama.
It's been a great first week! So many characters. Yinrun is absolute ICON, so sweet, innocent and positive - I love her.
For tonight GET KERRY OUT! But I can't see Farida staying tbh~
Not kerry obviously trying to stop people voting for her with the poor me act.
Hoping she gets out, despite me enjoying the drama
Kerry really needs to go. Finding her completely unbearable in this episode.
Also I really hope this isn't how they're going to do/reveal nominations every week, not the best format having us have to watch Late & Live to find out in the first place, only to have it spoiled anyway if we haven't and then have to watch how they came about
Paul and Tom were so disrespectful cheering each other that they are safe another weak, how tone deaf.
Olivia isn't as daft as she sounds sometimes. At least she realises that being followed on social media doesn't mean you're liked. A rare moment of self awareness
Tea
Oh what a relief.
Kerry is so disgusting, the racists won.
Farida’s exit was iconic, i’m glad she took it in her stride!
Gutted at that result
I think Farida had a lot more potential to redeem herself and build a place in the house compared to Kerry. Being saved tonight, I feel Kerry's just going to become even worse and develop a bit of an ego.
I was very 50/50 before tonight but after this episode I saw a real mean streak in Kerry, she seemed to get a kick out of everyone being annoyed at Farida and getting to fight with her
Let me avoid an argument, despite the racist stuff I’ve seen on twitter about her.
It was great to see an eviction again on TV! Ahh gosh I’ve missed this show.
Gutted, I get thag people might find Farida annoying or fake but I can’t see how anyone can want to see Kerry stay :/
The interview happening on Late & Live is working better than I expected!
Disappointed but not shocked at the Voting results . The UK is always gonna UK unfortunately and can’t be trusted to vote correctly . It sometimes makes me wish we didn’t get to vote until the finals sometimes .
The real test for Kerry now is how she will be with Farida gone, if she continues the same it will show Kerrys real character and if we see a change in her as in been less offended and less of the facial expressions it will show that maybe it was just Farida brought out the worst in her. With Kerry im just not sure on and kinda want to give her the benefit of the doubt but equally have a gut feeling she is someone who likes to find something to have a bitch about. I think out of them all Kerry seems to be the one most aware the cameras are on her, maybe i am over analyzing it but the "talking to herself" and giving herself pep talks often feels very orchestrated for the cameras.
I disagree abour Farida saying Kerry wants to be 23 again, i think Kerry does seem to genuinely get on with the younger housemates but how genuine she is hard to call,
Im not sure about the eviction show itself, you could clearly tell the crowd were instructed how to react the whole night, im all for giving people a chance and been nice but does it not defeat the purpose if people are told they have to pretend they like someone when they dont be cheering, how the crowd reacts has always been one the most exciting parts of eviction night and that tonight felt very orchestrated but aside from that i enjoyed it.
I won 40 quid with Farida going but I was still gutted she was evicted Meh.
Paul on live feed last night was SOMETHING else. Going on about how hard it is being a straight white male and moaning how people would get offended if he went on his TiKTok and bragged about picking other women up. Absolutely embarrassing on all f***ing levels. It'll be interesting to see if it makes the main show.
Idk if there’s anyone left Kerry will clash with like Farida, but I think she will get more miserable and negative as the time goes on. She’s clearly not enjoying it that much, and she is just horrible to watch, so I hope she is next out.
Also I agree Paul was awful on feeds, exactly the things people were saying about him around launch.
Yuck @ hearing all this about what Paul has been saying on live feeds.
Him being ecstatic he was not nominated was tone deaf when Kerry and Farida were announced to be up for eviction.
I was living for the Farida / Kerry tension Farida was hilarious imo. Trish and Jordan nominating Paul *.* It's gonna be Kerry and Olivia up next week isn't it. Boo if so, I'd rather contestants that give nothing go, as draining Kerry can be at times
Chanelle's backhanded compliments were just insults!! DYING @ Jordan changing his shirt
I think I'm falling in love with Zak? Such a genuinely sweet, decent guy.
Zak came across really well in tonight’s episode he’s very likeable . It was nice to see more of him as well as people like Noky and Chanelle we hadn’t seen as much of so far .
Zak is lush, I didn’t expect him to be tbh but he’s got such a good head on his shoulders. He’s one of the ones who actually seems to care about people, genuinely a really good guy. On the other hand, Kerry being a selfish vile Tory because of her tax bracket is the least surprising thing all series tbh, she just made herself sound thick to be honest and Zak really came across well in that conversation.
Tonight it was lovely to see more of people, Chanelle has been so fun on live feed so it was great to see more of her. And the divide forming is interesting, I think Kerry is spearheading it really so I feel like she does need to go (I know I keep going on about her like she does Farida lmfao). A lot of them I feel are following her or are influenced by her, she has that overbearing house mum energy that I think people either follow or are butting heads with. I think Trish could well be her new Farida potentially!!
Zak has huge potential to win.
That was a really great episode for Zak, Trish, Noky & Yinrun. I think they're my 4 faves atm. It was also nice to see Chanelle doing something finally too. But aside from it being a task, I'm a bit hesitant... I really hope she continues on this path though.
Ngl, the first half or so was a drag for me. Kerry is literally DRAINING to watch and sucks all my enjoyment I get from watching the show, out of me and I would genuinely just prefer to watch the dullards like Paul, Tommy and Dylan. It's kinda annoying because I think Farida would have given us more as a housemate over Kerry, had Kerry gone. Kerry seems to have run her course. I just don't see what else she brings other than to be miserable & over bearing (and it's hard to get behind when you see how Farida was just enjoying being there in the moment etc..)
Apparently CBB will be back in March 2024 on the main channel ITV put out a statement simply saying they're focused on the current series, so no debunking of the rumours.
I’m in two minds about CBB returning as the civilian series IS Big Brother and I liked that ITV was focusing on bringing that back, rather than the easier ratings winner of CBB.
I’ve been thinking that maybe CBB damaged the civilian series as it raised expectations about the level of drama required, with the celebrities that were cast essentially knew how to play up to the cameras. I like the greater authenticity that this year’s series has shown the show can still have and it would be a shame to have that harmed again/have attention taken off it.
On the other hand, I guess it continues to show their confidence in the brand and wanting to have it long term. I wonder if they would have the more I’m a Celeb/Strictly style casting rather than the direction that Channel 5 went in essentially filling up spaces with someone from that random American reality show.
I'm really not bothered about CBB returning, it's where the show will likely start to become oversaturated. You can have too much of a good thing and I'd rather they just committed long-term to the civilian series.
I continue to despise Kerry more and more, a tory - yuck.
Paul and Tom can get in the bin too. Hallie is going way down in my rankings too.
Great episode last night for Yinrun/Trish/Noky/Zak, loving these four and Jordan.
Hallie is becoming so annoying. All she does is moan and throw fake tantrums, no wonder she is close with Kerry.
Olivia is also very selfish not even offering to sleep outside.
Kerry, Olivia, Paul etc are trying to make it an ‘us v them’ thing.
I'm kind of getting bored of it, I feel a few of them are really playing up to the cameras and know what will get them air time so I find them not that genuine at all (Hallie, Kerry).
Feel they need to treat this as a bit of a pilot to be honest, the eviction/nomination set up they have is horrible. Nominations used to be THE thing back when Big Brother was back at it's peak, feel they need to show them on a Thursday show at least. I think it's fine to have a few boring/normal people, often I feel these characters just go with the flow and are over bared by the bigger characters. I'd say the winner will come from Zak/Yinrun/Jordan at this stage, but a lot can change.
Kerry is absolutely insufferable, those rants/screaming were so performative and I just don't find her genuine whatsoever.
I unfortunately am starting to agree about Hallie too which is such a shame, I want to love her and she has had such good moments at the start of the series.
Trish is becoming a fave, she better clock that f***ing tea about Kerry!
I can't help but think I'd find it funnier/more camp if Farida was in there instead of Kerry. I am still aghast she went over Kerry really!
I can’t believe Kerry was saved last week, she is SO draining and just hoovers up any fun. Farida brought the drama but in an actual fun way.
Yinrun & Trish are the unstoppable duo for me, adore their friendship
Hallie just ruined her chances of winning. Oh dear. What kind of trying to be Nikki bullshit was that?
LOVING Trish! But I do fear she'll be up for eviction.
Kerry really needs to just f*** off. Some villains are entertaining and she really isn't. She borders on switching the channel level unwatchable.
And I'm sorry but Trish getting emotional while talking about how incredible Yinrun is was PURE and real as f***.
Confirmed: Housemates back to nominating two people.
Kerry is awful.
Completely over the top drama from her tonight over nothing.
Her behaviour is like that of a spoiled 10 year old in need of a slap.
Kerry really needs to go, I feel like it’s her heading up the dynamic of Paul/Olivia/Hallie etc acting like it’s us and them. She is just vile, really draining and a chore to watch. It was so frustrating she got to the glamping area too after pulling that utterly embarrassing behaviour like a petulant toddler.
Most of the ones I thought were really boring (Chanelle, Zak, Trish, Noky) have really shone in the past couple of days, Yinrun is the only one who’s stayed a fave from day 1! Other than Princess Yinrun, I think Trish might be my fave now, she is so astute, had Kerry clocked and I don’t think she’ll stand for it for the rest of the week. I think it might be Kerry vs Hallie or Trish for this eviction, and Kerry surely goes.
It was a bad episode for Hallie and it was like watching a Nicki Grahem wannabe gone badly wrong.
Trish starting to shine and has copped the fake Kerry and should result in her nominating her.
Going to predict that it'll be Kerry vs Trish this week and if that happens... I fear for the worst.
As others have pointed out, Kerry is getting so unbearable for me that I may have to contemplate stopping watching until she is evicted. I cannot abide her. I'd rather watch the boring folk. She just drains every bit of fun out of it for me. Ugh.
I do think Noky is a bit of an under appreciated gem (and I'm glad a few more re seemingly joining my bandwagon for her). Her laugh is adorable and she's absolutely STUNNING! She seems genuinely lovely too. I completely understood why she reacted the way she did today too. The Yinrun & Trish duo is INCREDIBLE. I love love LOVE them 2. Yinrun saying that "shaving sheep" was her dream task... HOW PURE!!!
Oh I also love Noky
I have a feeling it will be Kerry , Trish and Hallie up for eviction this week . I think Hallie shot herself in the foot acting up the way she did in the task and will be up this week because of it .
Odds (William Hill)

A Celebrity Big Brother is apparently in the works for next year....
Ddd Hallie literally COPIED Megan McKenna's mashed patayta meltdown word for word
Noky really doesn't deserve to be that low one of my faves!
I can't see past a Jordan win, and sorry I find him so overrated like ...overbearingly so. Not a bad person at all and he has the odd funny moment but I just find it all a bit contrived/done before.
Not them trying to gang up on Zak from the teaser.
Hallie can leave.
I just love Noky!
There’s sooo many two faced housemates, I really dislike Dylan.
Edit: dumb comment from Zak but everyone going for him now seems like they want to secure a nomination for someone other than themselves
2nd edit: yeah Zak is letting himself down with another woman comment.
Okay, Noky and Zak are cute together *.*
I’m finding Hallie very annoying atm very attention seeking and stirring the pot . Kerry once again being the leader and seems to be leading the Zak hate train . The way her face lit up like it was Christmas at Zak and Trish going back and forth .
Outside of his daft woman comment, I really don't get where all of the Zak hate is coming from all of a sudden. To me he's coming across as a lad who wants to make the most of his Big Brother experience and have a good time *shrug*
I think Hallie is just an insecure 18 year old, everyone is doing a bit too much on her - I think the idiotic fickle public will vote her out even over Kerry. I really hope she isn't up, I still enjoy her more than most.
Also the agenda pushing/favouritism on Late & Live is kind of ridiculous. They had a whole section dedicated to loving Jordan and then said "we all LOVE Jordan here don't we?" and then actively encouraged hate on Hallie and discouraged negative opinions on Zak.
I don't dislike Zak but I don't really find that kind of banter funny at all and can see how it could rub people up the wrong way.
I loved this moment the other day!
ITV are reviewing an incident in the Big Brother house after Kerry used the word ‘gay’ in a ‘problematic manner’
Saying “well, this is gay” in front of her housemates when they pranked her, viewers have asked for Kerry to be reprimanded for using it in a derogatory manner
Hallie's getting on my nerves, the constant moaning is a lot. Zak was very clearly having banter with people on last night's show and the likes of Trish and Noki were well aware of that, but Hallie's continuing to moan and bitch to Kerry, it's exhausting to watch and it does show how immature she is.
Yinrun is so pure - everyone asking sex questions during Never Have I Ever and she says "never have I ever peed in a swimming pool"
Of course all the middle aged Tories on the Digital Spy forums think the world has gone mad and we're all snowflakes for people thinking using the word "gay" in the way Kerry has is problematic.
Official word is 'Kerry has been reminded by Big Brother about her respect and inclusion training, and that any further use of offensive language may result in further consequences. Kerry has apologised for any offence caused #BBUK'
Courtesy of supertv on social media
Interesting they didn't choose to include that or Paul's straight pride comment on the main highlights show...
On ITV2, Big Brother continued with 804,000 (5.4%), broadly in line with the previous night, while E4’s Married At First Sight UK entertained dipped slightly from 1.1m (8.6%) the previous night to 983,000 (6.5%), according to Barb data from overnights.tv.

33/1 Matty Simpson
33/1 Tom Bryant
40/1 Paul Blackburn
40/1 Trish Balusa
50/1 Henry Southan
50/1 Noky Simbani
66/1 Kerry Riches
Yeah, I can't see past a Yinrun win tbh
I’d probably bet on Dylan to win myself. Not necessarily who I *want* to win though.
This is just going off how the British public vote and looking at past winners of BBUK.
Hallie did have a chance but with it being a vote to evict (up to now) I could see them going if they were against quieter characters as they are quite dominating and could be annoying to some voters.
It’s hard to call though this series as I think sites like this and Twitter might be quite out of touch with the more average viewer (like Farida leaving proved this).
I get it and I get why they want this approach, but they really need to f*** off with the overdoing of the “be kind” format. Late & Live would be better if it embraced how people really feel more, instead of saying “we love *insert housemate here* here, don’t we??” Or completely avoid conversation of someone like Kerry a lot coz they know she won’t be liked etc..
If you want to show this as a social experiment, then show stuff like that and let them face the consequences as and how the public please. ITV covering it up and pretending it didn’t happen makes them look worse imo.
UGH hate these two are nominated, I wish there was more. We was so close to having Kerry and Paul up too!
Zac to go!
I have a feeling Hallie and Olivia will be put up as well for writing on each others backs who they voted for
F'n terrible result tbh. Ugh.
I can see that awful group gang up on Jordan/Yinrun/Trish next week.
I really want Zak and Henry to stay.
I dislike half the house: Kerry, Hallie, Paul, Tom, Olivia and Dylan.
I don’t care at all if Henry goes, Jordan can still stand on his own. I don’t think Henry should be carried through by Jordan when he doesn’t bring anything by himself. I assume Jordan’s large fanbase will keep him, when it’s a head to head eviction it will basically be voting for Jordan by getting Zak out. I feel like there should be more people up when lots of people got 2 or 3 nominations, it should at least be the ones who got 3 up as well? Maybe Hallie and Olivia go up too bc of the codes, I know head to head evictions are very classic BB but I think when the house is so split having just 2 up and all these people getting a few nominations, there should definitely be more people up.
I agree to I also worry that Kerry’s mob will have the majority and gang up on people like Trish, Yinrun and Jordan and the likes of Tom and Dylan will just skate by because they are friends with that lot/in the middle.
How was Kerry not nominated
Loved those little cuts to Henry side-eyeing Jordan and Matty's convo!
Henry can go just because he's a Tory, I really like Zak! But the (almost) insufferable Jordan stans will keep him in.
I actually want to see Jordan without Henry in the house! I'm guessing he'll just spend more time with Matty but it will be interesting to see how he reacts.
I can't call who goes? I think the teen girls will vote to get rid of Henry, but I think Jordan's fans will vote to get rid of Zak. Not sure!
WHEN I TELL YOU I SCREAMED
Out of the two I’d rather Henry went as barring being Jordan’s side kick he hasn’t done much and basically flaked out of every task or had it easy.
It’s a shame Kerry or Hallie aren’t up though. Or Paul… or Olivia
Bring on the double evictions!
As things stand Yinran has the win in the bag.
Is the vote up yet? Wouldn't surprise me if they punished Hallie and Olivia, not sure they will put both up for nomination, but suspect they may do something that punishes the whole house.
Well I’ve voted on the app so yeah it is open.
Maybe it’ll affect next week
Yeah they've said it won't affect this week's eviction and we will find out their punishment tomorrow which is odd.
I guess they had to discuss a suitable punishment first, hence the delay?
I’d be surprised if Zak went!
I think the general viewer would much sooner evict Henry but again it’s hard to really call with just two up again (I did choose to evict Henry though). Twitter isn’t that representative and the average general viewer I think would like Zak more of the two. Henry doesn’t really do all that much for me either where as I think Zak is genuine and pretty aware of who the ones who are putting on an act and acting up are.
I’m relived Olivia managed to escape being up though (and even quite glad Kerry did not that I’m pro Kerry but she’s at least giving *something* - the show would be less without at her at this stage).
Of the males in the house though I’d rather see Paul exit
I really don’t want Zak to go but the Jordan stans will definitely save Henry
Hallie and Olivia really should of had there nominations removed for breaking the rules then a few more of them would have been up as well !
As much as I would like to see Jordan without Henry, if Henry does leave it’ll give the other side of the house a much bigger numbers advantage with nominationsand we’d likely see people like Paul continue to just skate by and Trish be nominated
I'm ok with Henry going! Zak is in my top 3/5 so definitely rooting for him to stay.
The nomination results weren't the one though - Kerry and her band of miserable cronies seem to be ruling the roost now and rhe tide is turning for them to pick off the other group one by one with whoever goes this week
Only positive is another week of Kerry memes on Twitter
I definitely like Zak more and we absolutely need someone like him in the house who will challenge the likes of Kerry, I do worry though that if Henry goes they just pick off that group one by one. Either way, I think we lose something although I don’t really like Henry and he doesn’t bring much to the house. In fact I think Jordan might be better off without him, I feel like Jordan and Matty is a more interesting dynamic whereas with Henry you can see he values him as a friend but he’s not interested really. Idk I just don’t find any entertainment in Henry just following him around like a lost puppy.
I can’t see Zak staying unfortunately, Jordan’s fans will vote him to evict and I think as he’s been a louder character this week and “annoying” with his banter that will sway it for the casuals too. Plus whilst I hate the fact he’s a Tory and couldn’t support him for that reason, Henry hasn’t really had any standout moments or done anything to annoy or upset viewers really so I just can’t see him being evicted. A vote against him I guess is a vote for Zak, but I don’t see that Zak has a strong fanbase to pull that off.
I think they definitely have to start with double evictions and more people up soon, so we’ll start losing Kerry, Hallie, Jenkin, maybe even Olivia/Paul in the mix thankfully.
I feel like Zak is really misunderstood in there and it will be a shame to see him leave this week. Even when he was with Henry trying to be nice and supportive to them both being up for eviction Henry later on with Jordan twisted what he said and made it seem like what he done was bad .
The Jordan/Henry fans are low key insufferable trying to justify their hate for Zak 😭
Next eviction;
8/11 Zak Srakaew
1/1 Henry Southan
Not a lot in it!
That clip of Yinrun is heartbreaking I love her and Trish's friendship so so much, the most genuine connection in there I think.
That Yinrun clip
My guess is that it's Tom! As vile as the Kerry clique are, I'm pretty sure they all like Yinrun (or have said they do anyway)?
EDIT: Also, that's probably WORSE than bitching/being 2-faced imo. You're in a house doing NOTHING all day... why aren't you talking to another housemate and at least TRYING to get to know them a little bit better? Let alone Yinrun who is completely culturally different to your lived experiences? Like... TF??
Catching up on nominations now... not Paul nominating Trish for "bringing up controversial conversations". God forbid somebody want to talk about anything meaningful beyond sex jokes, etc for 6 weeks 💀
Trish's counter-nomination for Paul lmao... absolutely iconic! Spill it sis
Hallie is really going downhill as the time moves on, she started strongly but has started to let herself down badly which is a huge shame for mee, kinda disappointed it only ended up with 2 people been up for eviction this week as it was so close to having far more, im hoping Henry survives but its hard to call.
I wonder will the punishment for Olivia and Hallie be they also go up for eviction, im kinda hoping it is.
Looks like they’ll just be in ‘jail’ - yawn.
Literally sat here genuinely tearing up at Yinrun. Good lord.
Awww Yinrun! I think she was maybe talking about the lines of Jenkin?
Love what Trish and Matty were saying to Yinrun!
Also I desperately want Hallie out, I cannot stand her or Kerry. I don’t like her attitude and she’s so obviously faking stuff for attention/Tv time.
Yinrun ((
That punishment... oh? They surely should've voided their nominations for next week too?? They've got off lightly and if anything get more screen time and attention because of this "punishment".
Hallie's not even pretended to be apologetic they're both insufferable
Hallie and Olivia will be up next week, or at least one of them will be after this.
Yeah, I'm thinking Hallie will be up and gone next week. It's a shame because she had such a strong start.
Hallie will be gone next week. Don't agree with them.standing out in the rain, think the show will come under fire for that
Hallie’s voice and fake whining annoys me, cannot stand her.
Poor girls could come down with a cold after that!
YES Matty! Calling Kerry out on her bullshit and then snubbing her fake "give me a hug" nonsense.
Zac has sealed his exit with this episode
I hate Kerry so much ‘you telling Matty is bitchy’, when she’s literally bitching…
Kerry is such a vile person.
Loving Matty and that he didn’t want to hug that two faced Kerry.
I don’t want Zak or Henry to go.
I like the Henry and Jordan friendship but Zak has brought more to the house in tonight’s episode than Henry has done the whole time he’s been in there I need Zak to stay !
Also Matty just shot up as one of my favourites tonight , loved how he dealt with Kerry .
Also this, it is what I thought Matty was indicating.
It infuriated me.
Yinrun </3 my heart! I NEED the crowd to chant for her tomorrow!!
They’ve got almost everything right with this series and I’m so shocked after the last era. I feel all the stories are developing so naturally and the tension is really building as it should be. I think tonight shows that you don’t need to throw in random tasks for the sake of it. I just need the series extending by a couple of weeks to allow for a full exploration of all the storylines and tension! I don’t want to lost this group so quickly!!
I agree, I think Zak got a good edit today too.
I'm actually pretty sure Zak will stay after tonight's edit?
Kerry being called out by Zak and Matty, we love to see it.
What we don't love to see is Zak likely going, she's going to feel so vindicated by him and Farida going I cba 😭😭😭
I cried actual tears at Yinrun tonight, I'm so attached to this woman after 2 weeks, my god.
Kerry is far too thick and self centred to have understood what Matty was insinuating. I really want Zak to stay now and challenge Kerry because I do think she really believes she is loved and has the house and public on side, she really doesn’t deserve to be vindicated like that.
Yinrun is also one of the most attached I’ve been to a BB housemate I agree. She is just so sweet and so unique, you wouldn’t see someone like her on any other show. I think it shows the likes of Trish, Matty and strangely which I didn’t think I’d say, Jordan and Henry, are genuinely decent people for giving her the time of day and being friends with her. I feel like some off the others can’t be arsed to make an effort with someone a bit different :/
Hallie broke the rules again for talking about nominations.
KERRY IS SO...
"That's really, really bitchy "
"From my own perspective and when I was sat there and what I saw the way you and Liv were talking about it, it sounds to me like you two were bitching about him.."
"We were... *looks at Zak like he's an idiot* "
To win;

Next eviction;
4/7 Zak Srakaew
5/4 Henry Southan
I *really* don't want Zak to go The bookies had Kerry as fave to go to be fair so there's definitely still hope.
Suprised but happy to see Olivia so high on the odds still
Noky being so low and Hallie/Olivia still being so high is surprising!
They honestly need to give us more free votes if there going to open the vote earlier than Thursday as I’m seeing so many people saying they wished they voted differently after last nights episode !
Yeah I agree! I think it should be 5 a day or something.
I'm almost certain Henry is going to stay ugh
How on earth are Dylan/Jenkin and Olivia so high?!
Probably because the bookies are going by where the money is being placed.
Next eviction;
2/5 Zak Srakaew
7/4 Henry Southan
Oh ffs
I’m still hopeful that Henry will leave tonight.
I really hope that Zak stays I just don’t get the dislike towards him by the others. With it being a head to head I am kind of nervous but I do think the average viewer outside of socials would prefer him over Henry but we’ll see.
In this instance I think vote to save would be more beneficial for me as I can definitely imagine Zak getting a lot of save votes just off his looks
Just caught up on last night's episode and my GOD at Kerry Hallie and Olivia playing up to the cameras majorly during their punishment was one of the most cringe things ever. I didn't like Olivia in the first place and lord knows how people think she's actually entertaining in any way, but I really can't see Hallie coming back from how she's been this past week.
It's gonna be a massive shame if Zak goes tonight because as others have already said it would be brilliant to see him standing up to the likes of Kerry and potentially provoking others to speak up about how they truly feel too (*cough* Trish).
Yeah I found Olivia entertaining the first few days, now I just find her plain rude.
I really don't want either Henry or Zak to go
Woah over a million votes for this eviction!
Oooooooo boos for zac!!!!
Strange reaction from the crowd for Zak...
Zak is definitely gone tonight. The public is quite different to what is voiced on here in my opinion
Why did they not boo when Will referenced Kerry? ffs
If they hear the crowd boo Zak and he's evicted, Kerry's going to think it's because he went against her isn't she? This can NOT happen.
I’m confused at Zak being booed and Kerry not being booed last week…
Saying this hearing the lively crowd and booing reminds me of old school evictions!
Oh I’m loving them!
"If somebody came up to you and called you a fat f**k.."
WHAT on earth Chanelle?!
Chanelle is very close to being my favourite with jenkin following
GET ZAC OUT GET ZAC OUT
Chanelle makes me f***ing SCREAM, not just bc of the accent but I feel like she has a bit of Helen Adams about her, like just coming out with shit that is so unintentionally funny
This crowd reaction to Zac is quite disheartening when Kerry got no boos last week, unless they told them not to boo last time or banned it and this time they’re allowed bc they listened to the fan reactions idk. It’s absolutely bizarre he’s getting booed for standing up to the most hated housemate?!
YES AT THE CHANTS!!!!!!!!!
Yes at the kerry chants and also Yes at Zak going, right decision!
The loud get out Kerry chants YES this is delicious!!
So bloody happy he's out
I see the top 5 as Yinrun, Chanelle, Jenkin, Jordan and Dylan
Ohhhh I absolutely loved those ‘get Kerry out’ chants, classic big brother! Hopefully that gave her a reality check!
I can’t wait to see her reaction!
Gutted Zak has gone but I liked Henry too!
Olivia said "it could have been a Zak fan" in reference to the Kerry chants
EDIT: Yeah, going by what Kerry's saying on LF, it seems the general consensus is the crowd was full of Zak fans who wanted her gone because she "said too much". The delusion is real.
Why was my post Deleted?
I'm glad the crowd are allowed to chant again.
Lol whoever is deleting my posts which I'm guessing is Joseph is restricting freedom of speech. Absolutely ridiculous if you want a forum let it be free speech.
Paul to Kerry "When you were getting consoled by everyone there was a batshit argument in the iamspamspamami... Dylan & Trish shouting at each other over a sandwich"
I've noticed since Joseph recently has decided upon himself to direct authority over this forum it gone one sided. What's the actual point
Who do we think will go next week?
Matty, Yinrun and Trish discussing the chants. Yinrun NOT surprised. Queen! *.*
I hope to god Kerry’s crowd put her up after hearing they are friends with the wrong person.
I'll reiterate: "Drop me a PM"
but if you're going to be continuing down the road of personal insults towards me then don't bother.
Either way I'll be deleting further messages on this matter in this thread because it's not Big Brother related.
Were you expecting an influx of discussion and gossip regarding Zak's alleged behaviour in the real world? Not sure how people are supposed to interact with that given a number of your previous posts were just saying how much you disliked him and are glad he's been evicted
I'd probably have deleted the post if I were in Joseph's position too - not only did your comment add zero value to the discussion, but seemed quite petty based on personal opinion with no bearing on what Zak was actually like as a housemate, or related to Big Brother in the slightest. But that's just me ~
I’m gutted for Zak , the wrong person left yet again this week . I feel like he had so much more to give as a housemate and it wasn’t his time . Henry definitely should have gone out of the two .
The only plus was Kerry hearing the chants tonight, hopefully people switch on and vote her next week so we can see her gone .
Kerry's cronies need a major reality check. I really need Kerry evicted coz I honestly think Hallie & Olivia are going to clash and that whole group will immediately implode and dissolve. Interesting about Yinrun and reading about her reactions towards Kerry’s chants... makes me think that Kerry was the main culprit for last nights situation with Yinrun... WE HAVE YOUR BACK, QUEEN!!
Zak didn't deserve the boos, but I'm glad to hear them cheer him on his actual eviction. Cannot WAIT to see Kerry's reaction to being chanted lmao.
Not sure how I feel about Big Brother *forcing* a "talk" between the housemates tomorrow... I definitely prefer when it is all done naturally. I also like the sound of the shopping task this week.. They're all being split into 2 groups of ant colonies. The Rich/Poor divide task from series 3 (?) is one of my favourite tasks, so I'm hoping it's kind of a similar thing.
Also THAT Matty & Yinrun moment ����������
https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGJwD78ep/
Yinrun more or less confirms that Kerry was indeed one of the people she was referring to when she got upset about people walking away and not wanting to talk/get to know her…
I find Jordan so rude towards Noky, name constantly in his mouth ugh. He never confronts anything and she was genuinely emotional towards Zak, I find him so overbearing/unfunny - walking away from having a serious conversation and Christ I must be in the minority because I couldn't care less a out this stupid love triangle, I'm bored SHITLESS.
Also Paul has the emotional intelligence of an ape.
Paul is one of the most pointless housemates EVER, like… it’s not as if he’s even funny or anything, I don’t mind people being loud and out there if they are entertaining, he is just thick as pig shit and even less intriguing than it. I actually hope he goes next, I’d keep Kerry over him even. As much as I despise her, there is at least the memes and hating her so much is camp in a way, like it’s such a unique Big Brother thing.
I find the love triangle boring too tbh, Matty clearly isn’t even that interested. This is like a reality TV showmance for 15 year old girls who live their lives by Heartstopper.
EDIT: as I typed, Paul is spilling scalding tea about Kerry on feeds lmao the plot thickens!!
Noky is one of the most genuine and sincere housemates there. Jordan is really starting to grate on me a little bit. I do find the odd line delivery humorous, but nothing life changing. His schtick is wearing completely thin in all honesty and I agree about the triangle.
Paul manages to make so much noise with his mouth... without actually saying a damn thing. Bland ass!
Still not liking Kerry at all and I'm getting tired of the "at least she's entertaining" narrative that seems to be swinging her way... no. She is not. She's just a miserable housemate who does nothing but moan and drains all life out of the programme whenever she is featured. THAT (to me at least) is not entertaining...
The nerve of Dylan too.. blatantly LYING about Trish LMAOOO!
Paul kicking off in the run up to noms - good to see!
I think Paul is a goner this week, even if Kerry is up as well maybe! I think it might be a double though potentially.
Good riddance, he's coming across like a petulant brat.
I haven't watched last nights yet but cannot wait! has it still been good?
It’s so telling that we don’t see Paul much at ALL… but as soon as we do it’s nearly always negative
I’ve noticed BB show Kerry as little as possible coz it’s the same for her lmao. I really want her to be gone coz dynamics will change in an instant. People will def clash more with others. Also, I really like Olivia I think. She’s really quite smart and won’t take shit from anyone… even her bffs in the house (if I was living with her, I would immediatley find her annoying though lmao)
Paul feels like he’s a C5 era HM in the wrong series.
I'm loving the Henry/Jordan/Matty thing It's so incredibly awkward to watch which naturally makes it about a million times more entertaining than the usual showmance which C5 shoved down our throats.
Delighted the ratings are so good.
I hope its Paul and Kerry this week that are up or Noki aswell, I think the same that it could be a double eviction this week.
AJ and Will are really great presenters! I am loving them and their chemistry and I do love them individually too! I think that formula really works for Late & Live!
I feel the format of Late and Live needs a lot of work as there doesn’t much structure or planning involved, it’s just lets talk about random things that the guests or audience don’t seem to care about. Give me news, give me exclusives, give me features - just give me a reason to stay watching
I agree, the audience seems dead. The audience in the C4/C5 seasons were very loud and had big personalities and die hard fans in the audience ready to debate.
The ant task is so daft. I love it.
Meanwhile, away from those hunting for an argument, the nice ones are having a sing song.
Why am I sensing a Trish eviction this week?
Hopefully it's Paul and hopefully people don't forget about the rule breaking from Hallie and Olivia when nominating. I'm nervous about who could be up
I think if Trish goes, I'm out
I know that sounds petty but she handled tonight brilliantly. Took ownership, was willing to talk things out and reacted well to Dylan calling her scary and Chanelle being overall really pathetic.
Also I know Kerry was MODERATELY funny but why do people have the memory of a goldfish/worms for brains and seeing posts applauding her, wanting her to stay in etc 😭 it was LESS than a week ago she was shouting, throwing tantrums and boasting about being a Tory. Are people really that thick?!

Out of that Top 5, I want Olivia to win oop. She's really growing on me 😭
I’m enjoying this task!
Actually finding it funny big brother calling themselves ‘bug brother’.
Paul is such a twat, hope he is up. Olivia was better this episode.
I really like Noky, she seems nice. I hope Trish is safe, she seems like a great person, it was sad her talking about her dad.
Also this love triangle?! I’m so invested. Poor Henry, also it’s clear Matty is trying to hint to just being friends with Jordan but there is flirting.
My friend is adamant that Dylan's going to win
That Trish incident was really uncomfortable to watch. Her getting the blame for something Olivia started? Trish handled that amazingly and I'm sorry but Noky was absolutely correct too and Paul just launched himself in a situation all guns blazing and turned a dispute into a full on argument... like... it wasn't that serious?? Olivia called for the house to decide on something, Noky said her piece and Dylan & Paul just got really defensive lmao.
I'm sensing Trish vs Paul if it's a single eviction this week and that's going to piss me off coz Paul will probably end up staying... FFS!
I worry Trish will go and that is absolutely racism, idc. She hasn’t been aggressive or confrontational, she is opinionated but in a way that is just passionate about social issues. She hasn’t really preached and I think it’s gross that STILL in this day and age a black woman can hardly have an opinion without being in the wrong? To say she’s scary or confrontational just because she makes points of conversation that are deeper than primary school level is bizarre and veering directly into being micro-aggressions.
Even last night, Olivia is the one who actually made the comment (and she was joking too) yet Trish gets the flack for it from all these dull privileged people who have never really had to think about such issues or lack the brain cells to do so. I personally don’t really see why the comment needed to be made, but Dylan and Chanelle were ridiculous reacting to it when Olivia was jokey and Trish made a calm point.
I’m catching up and I really don’t like how they treated Trish on last nights episode , it was Olivia who said the sexist comment (which wasn’t that deep in the first place) but Trish got the brunt of it. Seeing the convo with her and Noky and how upset she was and also it being her Dad’s Birthday who passed also it was quite sad to watch . I loved how Noky consoled her and there probably my two favourites at the moment .
A couple of things;
Olivia's really growing on me. I like how spirited she is. I really hope she doesn't go back to just hanging around with Kerry and co now she's made up with Paul.
FUN HALLIE! I haven't enjoyed watching her this much since the first week.
A lot of the house is severely immature, I’d be fuming if they were in a place where I’m trying to sleep being immature as f*** Like there is an entire house to piss around in and you’re there doing it in a communal bedroom where people are trying to sleep or chill out. I am finding Hallie and Olivia more entertaining now but I do hope they don’t get dragged back into Paul’s shite, I’m praying he goes next. I think it shows in how Noky is being treated too, they’re acting like she’s an alien or some master game player because people like Paul especially are too immature to have conversations about anything real that requires more than 2 brain cells
I do think Olivia is more wary of Paul now and she has a good balance of being fun and enjoying the experience but still actually having conversations that need to be had when they come up.
I know Jenkin isn’t entertaining it people are being quite nasty on Twitter. I know damn well half these flags sat on Twitter, who say they’d kill to be in there, saying half the house is boring would be exactly the same in that house lmao
Yinrun in jail for talking about nominations,
Fantastic episode.
But if I had to summarize one housemate.. Jenkin - hot and miserable. He’s returning to the insufferable housemate he was those first few days. He needs to tone that down because I definitely would prefer Paul going first.
So Yinruin’s nomination votes have been revoked as well which is fair enough but why wasn’t this done last week with Hallie and Olivia’s last week when they talked about nominations in code ???
We would of had a whole group of them up for the vote last week if that happened with Kerry likely going and Zak still in there !
I’d like smoky to go next I think, she doesn’t add anything
Apparently...
Why does
K I T
C H E N
come up as iamspamspamamion here. I noticed it on one of my posts the other week and someone elses yesterday
We had an influx of iamspamspamamithemed spammers years back that it got added to the spam filter, but it's been deleted from the filter since and still somehow changes it
Ah OK - makes sense now
Sorry spell check on my phone changed Noky to smoky and I didn’t notice.
So it would be Hallie vs Trish
But cos of Yinrun and her rule break, Dylan will be up as well.
Although it was barely a rulebreak - just not knowing who to go for. Compared to Hallie and Olivia, she said nothing or named anyone
The narrative around Trish is really disconcerting and honestly putting me off. She has been far more measured than pretty much any housemate, all she has done is made points that need to be made and discussed them with clarity and fairness. She hasn’t raised her voice, she hasn’t been fake and performative, or made noise. She’s in there with thick people like Paul thinking we need a straight pride and Dylan who lacks the brain cells to put the toilet seat down, and yet she still stays calm and measured.
I really like Olivia but she is far more loud, has started more arguments, brought up more points, and not a word is said! :/
I think Hallie will go, Trish seems to be liked well enough but I do worry with the casuals. Sadly I don’t think Dylan will but I think the casuals do have goldfish memories so if he has a bad couple of episodes of kicking off, maybe he will.
Knowing the British public we already know Dylan is staying and Hallie is going I’d say. So frustrating that it’s not vote to save.
Out of the 3 up, I'd rather Hallie go tbh. She's just been miserable the last couple of weeks. Her attitude is appalling at times and yesterday when she hid other people's stuff and then people did it to her, her reaction was just off
Hmmm Yinrun going a bit OTT here though.
Cba with Paul sailing through for another week while stressing about Trish potentially getting evicted
I can’t abide Tom, I swear he doesn’t exist 90% of the time and just pops up at 1am to stir shit and giggle like an idiot when he’s started a fire. What a waste of a housemate
I'm worried about this season potentially going down hill if the noms keep going this way, and I have no faith in the British public to make wise decisions
Low-key hoping for some Channel 5 producers meddling twists at this point to get rid of some of the bores to avoid them all making it to the final
I want Hallie to go personally as I find her quite unbearable but I won’t care much if Dylan goes as well . As long as Trish is save that’s all that matters !
To win;
5/6 Yinrun Huang
6/1 Jordan Sangha
