Big Brother fans were eagerly awaiting the first eviction on the show, and it finally happened live on ITV. The four housemates at risk of being kicked out were Dean, Nathan, Ryan, and Baked Potato (Rosie). After the public cast their votes, it was revealed that Ryan would be the first one to leave the house, less than a week after the show’s launch.
During the live interview on Big Brother: Late & Live, hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best got all the juicy details from the eviction. Fans took to social media to share their reactions and predictions for who would be next to go. Some viewers expressed their desire to see Nathan and Marcello evicted next, while others celebrated the fact that they were able to break the curse of the first evictee.
Prior to the eviction, the housemates failed their first shopping task at the Coco Eye Land Resort. There were a total of 51 fails among the group, including Marcello stealing watermelon, Sarah insulting guests, and Lily sitting on laps during brunch. The housemates were then given the next challenge of finding hidden connections between themselves, leading to some heated debates among the group.
Viewers also got a glimpse of the smoking area in the house for the first time, which sparked mixed reactions. While some found it uncomfortable to watch, others hoped that this feature would become a permanent part of the show. As the drama unfolds, fans can continue to tune in to Big Brother on Sundays at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX, followed by Late and Live at 10pm.
