Big Brother has delivered a shocking backdoor eviction twist, abruptly removing two housemates from the competition mere days ahead of the highly anticipated final. The surprise elimination, which followed a contest where farmer Cameron Kinch secured automatic immunity, left only eight contestants vying for the 2025 crown (The Mirror).

The sudden departure was announced by the show’s official X account on November 12th: "EXCLUSIVE: Two Housemates have been evicted from the House." The accompanying klaxon emoji underscored the brutality of the move, confirming that the two unnamed stars were instantly ejected from the premises once the previous night’s episode concluded (The Daily Star). Viewers were instructed to tune in to the following night's broadcast to see the identities of the eliminated stars and witness their harsh, unceremonious exit.

The Final Eight Vying for the Crown

With the finale looming on Friday, the field of competitors has been drastically narrowed. The remaining contestants who are still in the running to claim the Big Brother 2025 title and the prize money are:

• Cameron Kinch (who secured immunity)

• Elsa Rae

• Emily Hewertson

• Jenny Baird

• Marcus John

• Richard Storry

• Tate Reynolds

• Teja Dalphy

The decision to implement a stealth, non-public eviction just before the final week is a classic reality TV move designed to maximise drama and keep viewers engaged right up until the last moment, subverting the expectations of a typical weekly eviction process (Reality TV World).

Emotional Celebrity Return

Adding an emotional layer to the recent house action was the return of Celebrity Big Brother veteran JoJo Siwa. The reality star and dancer made a guest appearance on the spin-off show, Late and Live, but became visibly overwhelmed upon returning to the camera runs area of the house.

JoJo, who found romance with her current partner Chris Hughes during her time on the show, started to “well up” while presenting. Host Will Best gently asked: "Are you alright mate, are you having a little cry?" A tearful JoJo admitted: "I'm having a big cry." After composing herself, she explained that seeing the area where her relationship began was "overwhelming."

“That’s where it all happened. I’m fine, I’m fine, we’ve got to move on. This is crazy,” she said, watching the current housemates relaxing in the hot tub—the very location of many of her past romantic moments. “It's fascinating because they don't know they're being watched,” she added (OK! Magazine). This candid display of emotion quickly trended on social media, with fans expressing support and confirming the strength of her enduring relationship, which blossomed unexpectedly under the public eye (Metro UK).

The live final of Big Brother, which will see hosts Will Best and AJ Odudu announce the winner, is set for Friday night, promising a tense conclusion to the series after this brutal mid-week twist.
