Another double eviction has shaken the Big Brother house, sending both Tom and Jenkin leaving.
On Monday night, fans saw the housemates hand out tough face-to-face nominations, which resulted in Jordan, Jenkin, and Tom not only being nominated for eviction, but also being informed they had to go right away, which, of course, ended in tears and screams of despair.
The remainder of the house, however, was unaware that the trio were to dwell in a hidden chamber and monitor their every action while the public voted to expel two of them.
The housemate who received the fewest votes to oust would be rescued and reunited with their original gang.
Big Brother eventually revealed the truth, as well as the identities of the two ousted housemates, after two days of deceit… and the last one standing.
Jenkin, 26, and Tom, 21, were shown the door for real this time and rushed out to speak with presenter AJ Odudu about their crazy experience in the social experiment – not before a Western-style fight, of course.
Meanwhile, Jordan, a 26-year-old barrister from Scunthorpe, surprised Henry, Matty, Yinrun, Noky, and Olivia by returning to the house.
Butcher Tom was interrogated by AJ during his exit interview about his connections with his fellow housemates and why he thought he was evicted so close to the finish.
Tom acknowledged to ‘cruising through’ the procedure, claiming he hadn’t been particularly’problematic’.
‘I just went there for a good time,’ he said.
After being called out for ‘coasting’ by AJ, Tom was also questioned about his recent statements about Yinrun and how upset he was when she selected him in face-to-face nominations.
‘Why do you think you have such a strong reaction to Yinrun?’, AJ said, referring to how Tom ripped into her for crying and refused to accept her apology or console her.
‘I didn’t feel like I got a full reason behind it,’ Tom said in response.
‘Obviously, I felt a bit like, well, if I’ve made someone feel that way, I’d have liked to know beforehand because I’d hate for someone to feel awkward around me,’ he added after Yinrun said his NSFW jokes made her ‘uncomfortable.’
‘We had our mission to get someone in the Diary Room and I didn’t really get much more clarity, so we did feel a bit harsh because we found out she is genuinely just a really sweet soul.’
‘But you had that clarity from her initially, because she told you to your face!’, declared AJ. ‘And then you wanted to get her back in the Diary Room to do it all again.’
The host then reminded Tom it was actually Matty who ‘made the final decision’ on his fake eviction, yet Tom ‘didn’t seem that bothered’ or ‘mad’.
‘I think it’s a case of, I don’t know, Matty didn’t want to upset Yinrun in that situation and I think that his reasons to Olivia probably weren’t as strong as the reasons towards me, so it did make sense in the long-run.
‘I was a bit annoyed at first, but the longer I was in there the longer I had to realise.’
With Tom and Jenkin gone, we’re down to our last five, with the grand final only three days away and the remaining housemates urgently wanting to be the one to take home the £100,000 prize.
They shouldn’t get too comfy, though, since more twists are on the way, with one roommate scheduled to go tomorrow night and the voting to win now open.
Big Brother continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
