Big Brother UK 2018 - Episode 35 - Balance of Power

Once more unto the breach, citizens, as we head into the final Veto competition for this series

In case you missed it: Sian, Brooke, Tomasz, Cian, Akeem and Zoe will be participating. Sian, Brooke and Tomasz came bottom in the final viewers poll, Zoe tops the coin leaderboard and Akeem received the fewest nominations to be saved.

Akeem was successful in the auction to buy the fina;l jigsaw piece, and he gained Power of Knowledge to which he was told in advance about Nominate to Save and also he was able to put out a Yes or No question to the public (OUTSIDE CONTACT) which was did he deserve to be in the final. That answer will be revealed in this episode

In other news, the finale date for this series will be November 5 starting at 10pm and finishing at 11.15pm, talk about giving the show one last kick when it's down. To say it hasn't gone down well on social media and forums would be a bit of an understatement. However, there will be talks soon with Netflix about taking the show to a streaming service. BBC won't touch it with a barge pole, ITV have said no, and Channel 4 don't want it back. So realistically Netflix is quite probably the last hope, if they say no then I guess that's truly the end of Big Brother in this country....Stay tuned are probably the best words to use.

Back to the show at hand, and in case you missed it whoever wins the Veto gets to save two housemates

Cian, Lewis and Zoe are summoned to the Diary Room, due no doubt to Lewis breaking free of his shackles in the previous episode and indeed they are punished, and a paltry 150 coins are deducted from each of their coin totals. Just like that, Big Brother announces their punishment is over. Wow, they have learnt their lesson I don't think.

As for the leaderboard, no change at the top with Zoe leading the way, 2nd is Cameron, and 3rd is the invisible woman known as Sian. In the storeroom, Akeem is flexing his muscles.

Brooke points out the participants in the Veto haven't won a Veto yet, no s**t Sherlock. Cameron says he would save Tomasz if he was playing in this final Veto and won. 

Dining table gatherage as Big Brother announces the final Veto, and says Zoe will be playing as well as she is top of the leaderboard, and also mention that TWO housemates can be saved by whoever wins.

In the garden, Zoe is showing off some of her best impressions.....STFU Zoe, it is insulting to everyone's ears. Moving swiftly on......

Veto competition

Balance of Power is the name of the game. Housemates must traverse a series of balance beams and raise flags with different totals along the way. Only raised flags will count towards a housemates final total. The housemate with the highest total at the end of the competition will win the Veto. No penalties for falling off and scores will not be reset.

Zoe up first and she scores 87 points
The invisible woman Sian scores 215 points
Cian scores 191 points
Brooke scores 215 points
Tomasz scores 45 points
Akeem scores 124

We have a tie between the invisible woman and Brooke, so they will replay their attempts

In the replay, Brooke scored 315 and the invisible woman scored 598 points

Winner of the final Veto is invisible woman SIAN

Statler and Waldorf, aka Lewis and Cameron, speculate about who the invisible woman will save. It's a no brainer who she will save in my opinion.

Time for the invisible woman's decision, and perhaps to no great shock she saves herself and BROOKE. So facing the public vote will be Akeem, Tomasz and Cian.

Refreshments now been provided to the house, while Tomasz doing his usual overacting in the Diary Room. My pick to leave this week, he has seriously outstayed his welcome as he does barely anything in there.

Sian and Cian are reflecting about their time in the house, and Brooke and Lewis are clearing the air about their disagreement in the previous episode. Rare occasion where Lewis is not raising his voice, but give him time as there's still a few minutes left of this episode.

Meanwhile, Zoe decides it would be funny to hide alcohol. That always works out well doesn't it

Akeem is called to the Diary Room to get the answer to his question of whether he deserves to be in the final, and the answer was a resounding YES. Not perhaps the answer Big Brother were hoping for, wonder what may have happened had the answer been NO. One can only wonder I suppose.

As for the missing alcohol, voices are getting raised. You know some of this lot could start an argument in an empty room if they so wished

And on that note, that is it. To be continued in Episode 36, and the return of a classic shopping task which will be elaborated on in the next post.

Final thoughts

The invisible woman actually did something, hold the front page. Although some may not agree with her choice to save Brooke, as it just means both of them will float to the final unless there is one more eviction before the last winner on this channel is crowned.
