Big Brother fans have condemned what they call the "worst" backdoor eviction on the 2025 ITV reality series after Sam from Skipton was removed from the house on November 5. Sam and Nancy were nominated earlier in the week, and viewers were given only 15 minutes on November 4 to vote for who they wanted to save before one contestant left immediately following a fireworks party.
Although the vote occurred on Tuesday night, fans had to wait until the next day's episode to discover who was evicted. The same episode also celebrated housemate Teja's birthday and featured a fireworks display attended by Richard, Jenny, Caroline, and other housemates.
Big Brother informed the housemates about the night's events:
“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 pick up special eviction outfits—Sam's in red and Nancy's in blue. Big Brother added:
“Sam and Nancy, tonight one of you is about to go out with a bang.”
Summary: Fans of Big Brother sharply criticized the rushed 2025 backdoor eviction of Sam, highlighting the brief voting period and delay in revealing results as frustrating elements of the show's format.
