Big Brother fans have heavily criticized what they call the "worst" backdoor eviction they've ever seen on the ITV reality series. Sam from Skipton was unexpectedly booted off the 2025 series after a dramatic twist during the fireworks night episode.
Earlier in the week, Sam and Nancy were nominated by their fellow housemates. Viewers were given only 15 minutes to vote for who they wanted to save on Tuesday night (November 4), before one housemate abruptly exited following a fireworks party. The identity of the evictee was revealed only during Wednesday’s episode.
The latest episode also marked Teja’s birthday, with housemates Richard, Jenny, and Caroline gathering in the garden for the fireworks display. Big Brother 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 and Nancy were instructed to go to the snug to collect their eviction outfits. There, they found blue and red rocket-themed outfits—red for Sam and blue for Nancy. Big Brother explained: “Sam and Nancy, tonight one of you is about to go out with a bang.”
