Big Brother UK 2018 - Episode 43 - And then there were four...

Good day citizens, and welcome to the last ever double eviction in the Five era. Every housemate for themselves as nobody is safe. It's time to rumble, folks. Who went, YOU decided.

For the penultimate time, whoop whoop. That's one thing I won't miss after the finale has concluded, hopefully the slate will be wiped clean if the show is picked up on Netflix.

Emma welcomes us in, and gives us the rundown of the last few days before she runs through the numbers for who is left. The mob outside being as welcoming as ever by booing every housemate left in there, another thing I won't miss. Some of these people only turn up to boo, surely there must be more to their lives than booing someone. Hey ho after the finale, they will have to go elsewhere and I think the X Factor will be picking up some of those waifs and strays.

Anyways, it's time for the next and penultimate round of highlights as the clock ticks down to two of them coming out

We pick up the action with the lights coming on for the new day, and various shots of housemates waking up, making tea, showering and so on. Just the usual morning routine all round really. Cian says he will leave with his head held high if he does leave. Another joeky argument between Cameron, the new golden boy, and Akeem about food. 

One of Zoe's bobble hats has been wrecked after it has been in the washing machine. She has plenty more in her possession, so not much cause for concern. Brooke says where the airtime goes, Akeem follows. At least he's done things in there, Brooke, unlike you.

Sian says she would be happy to get to the final, and has a certain dress she wants to wear if she survives this eviction. Wouldn't be disappointed if she got to the final, and I will say I have been a little harsh on her as she has been somewhat drowned out by the louder personalities in there. She's done very well to get this far.

Wendy the washing machine

Speaking of Sian, she is given a secret task to collect some of the dirty laundry, but will need a partner in 'grime'. She is instructed to recruit Brooke, without Brooke getting suspicious. Mission successful, now for the second part. Wendy wants Zoe and Cameron's dirty robes, and Akeem's Christmas T-shirt along with some of Cian's dirty underwear. If they are successful, then Brooke and Sian will get a kebab each as a reward. Nobody must find out and they are given 30 minutes to accomplish this task.

Zoe is wondering where her gown has gone, little does she know it's not a million miles away. Meanwhile, Wendy gets Brooke and Sian into a singalong, while they tuck into their kebabs and cans of cider, and tests them with a 'quick someone's coming'. Nice to see Wendy back one last time, this gimmick has been quite amusing this year.

Zoe now keeps popping back in and out of the storeroom as she gets increasingly suspicious about where her gown has gone.

Fast forward now to spin the bottle, yes that original game that always ends well. Lots of predicting ensues to see who will finish 6th to 1st. Unsurprisingly the bottle ends up on Cameron in terms of the winner. Nothing sinister, as there is no way to tamper with a bottle. A lot of people are hoping Cameron won't win, won't go into details as in why as we'd be here forever.

Zoe does a lengthy monologue which includes saying she doesn't want to go. You can't stay in there forever, Zoe, you have to come out of there sometime.

Back to Emma, and next up is the finalists friends and family apart from Akeem's as they are on holiday. Fast forward time again.....

Eviction #1

After a talk with Rylan in the BOTS studio, it's off to the house and finishing in 6th place is BROOKE. A real marmite character as some liked her and others didn't, and what we find out is that she did a little task and her big coins got turned to real cash which comes to a total of £1,732. This task will be shown somewhat in the last ever round of highlights in the next episode.

Eviction #2

Back to the house, and lots of screaming can be heard from the mob outside. Shut them up please!!!!

The housemates are told to stand up, each one will be called out as safe or indeed evicted. Cian is safe, Zoe is safe, Cameron is safe....Finishing in 5th place is SIAN, and Akeem is safe.

A smattering of boos for Sian from some of the idiots outside....Seriously what has she done, she's been so inoffensive in there

Emma points out how happy Sian is about being evicted. So what? It's her moment,.let her enjoy it no matter how brief it is. She and Brooke at least get a moment on BOTS to enjoy themselves instead of a rushed interview on finale night and become an after thought. Sian wants Cameron to win, no great shock.

And that's it for the final ever double eviction on Five, onwards and upwards to Episode 44 and the last full highlights show before the shortened finale. Yes shortened, Five can't even give the show a proper send off. That's what Frow and Five think of this show, they will probably break out the bubbly once the curtain has dropped.

Final thoughts

So the final four will be Akeem, Cameron, Cian and Zoe. Not the ideal final 4, swap Zoe with Sian and that would my final 4. Zoe has been nothing but a grump these last few days, who on earth is voting for her. Seriously. Nothing against her personally, but she is so dam false.

Anyways, thanks for reading this post. The end is in sight, and only two more posts to come after tonight and then its goodbye to the UK version at least for now. Have a feeling it will be back, but on what channel or service, Endemol will decide.
