Voting has opened for the remaining housemates on Big Brother ahead of the final. Jenny Baird from Derry came close to securing a golden ticket but lost out to her close friend Cameron.
Both Jenny and Cameron reached the last round of the competition, where fellow housemates questioned them before Cameron ultimately received the golden ticket to the final.
Earlier in Tuesday night’s episode, Big Brother introduced a new challenge, gathering contestants to compete for a coveted prize.
“In the glass case before you sits one of Big Brother’s most valuable prizes, ‘A Pass to the Final'. Today, you will compete against each other in a series of rounds, and one of you will walk away with this coveted prize.”
Big Brother explained that to become a true finalist, a contestant must not only endure life in the house but also make a lasting impact.
“To be a true Big Brother Finalist, you can’t just survive your time in the House—you have to have made an impact. In front of you are two bowls of white and red eyes, white eyeballs should be awarded to Housemates you feel have made the most positive impact on the House. Red eyeballs should be awarded to Housemates you feel have had the most negative impact.”
Each housemate received three white and three red eyeballs to distribute among their peers. Once the voting concluded, Big Brother revealed how the scoring worked.
“Housemates, each white eyeball is worth one point. Each red eyeball is worth… one point. Both white and red eyeballs will bring you one step closer to the final. Big Brother believes that any impact, good or bad, is better than no impact at all.”
The competition ended with Cameron claiming the golden ticket, leaving Jenny just shy of a guaranteed place in the final.
