Big Brother viewers expressed frustration after an unexpected eviction twist sparked disappointment and calls for major changes to the show.
On November 5, the Big Brother house experienced a surprise eviction during Fireworks Night, where one housemate was forced to leave immediately. The twist came after housemates nominated again, with Nancy and Sam receiving the most votes and facing the public vote.
Viewers had only 15 minutes to save their favorite before the chosen contestant was evicted right away. Although the eviction took place on Tuesday, fans only found out who left during the latest episode.
Big Brother gathered all housemates in the garden to conclude Fireworks Night. The show announced:
"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, saying, "Finally, some drama, do you know what I mean?" Both he and Nancy were dressed as rockets—red for Sam and blue for Nancy.
"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."
Many fans were left angry at the eviction mechanism, calling it harsh and urging for a rethink of the show's format to avoid similar unsatisfying outcomes.
