Big Brother Evicts First Housemate After Evil Eye Twist

Big Brother UK launched on ITV2 on September 28/29 with a live 'evil eye' twist in which viewers had four minutes to vote and the top vote-getters were put at risk. The public flagged Emily Hewertson, Sam (a Zumba instructor) and Caroline (a PR worker and Matthew Wright’s ex-fiancée), and the trio were sent to the Exit Room where producers announced only two would return and told them the final decision was theirs. Hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best revealed the twist live; some viewers said Best 'let slip' the format. After the contestants pleaded their cases and discussed how they would spend the £100,000 prize, Emily was voted out. Caroline offered to leave and later called the experience "horrible," leaving the rest of the house and viewers stunned.
