BIG BROTHER TONIGHT: MONDAY 21st OCTOBER 2024

Here's a rundown of what to expect in tonight's episode of Big Brother, which continues on ITV2 and ITVX.

THE HOUSEMATES MAKE THEIR NOMINATIONS

As the Housemates gather on the sofa ahead of this week’s nominations Big Brother says: “Heads of House Ali and Dean are immune and can not be nominated, however from now on they are not the only pair in the house.”

“As Heads of House Ali and Dean were given a game changing decision to influence this week's nominations. Today, Housemates will nominate in pairs and Ali and Dean have chosen the pairs, the pairs they have chosen are…”

“Hanah and Lily, Marcello and Khaled, Nathan and Izaaz, Martha and Segun, Sarah and Baked Potato, Emma and Thomas.”

Each pair must nominate another pair and cannot nominate an individual Housemate. 

As Marcello and Khaled talk through their decision in the diary room, Marcello says: “I like Baked Potato, do I think she’s coasting a bit in here, sometimes a little bit I do feel that way. If I’m going to be brutally honest I feel like, is that the real bake, I don’t know, I’m not sure.”

Khaled says: “Maybe that’s just her personality, she just enjoys it, she's watching fireworks.”

Khaled adds: “Nathan and Iz as well.”

Marcello says: “I really like Nathan and he’s an asset to this house, no I wouldn’t be happy taking him down Big Brother but he’s been paired with someone who is slowly revealing some colours that we don’t like the look of so it’s unfortunate.

When asked to confirm the name of the pair they have chosen to nominate Marcello and Khaled say: “Nathan and Iz”

What pairs will the other Housemates choose to nominate for this week’s eviction? 

NATHAN AND BAKED POTATO DISCUSS THEIR FUTURE

After the Housemates have made their nominations, Martha, Baked Potato and Nathan catch up in the bedroom.

Martha asks them: “Do you think you’ll get to get together?”

Nathan asks: “On the outside?”

Martha clarifies her question as she asks: “Boyfriend and girlfriend yeah?”

Baked Potato says: “Yeah” as Nathan interjects: “Yeah, I do, yeah.”

Martha asks: “Do you? Make it official” to which Baked Potato says: “Yes” as Nathan agrees: “Yeah, yeah I think so.”

Martha continues her questions as she asks Nathan and Baked Potato if they’ve kissed and will their parents approve of each other.

As the conversation continues, Martha moves the conversation  onto wedding bells as she has an interesting offer for Baked Potato and Martha, what will it be and will they take her up on it?

ALI AND DEAN VENTURE INTO BIG BROTHERS SECRET BASEMENT FOR A SHOCK TWIST

Under the instruction to venture into Big Brother's secret basement Ali and Dean make their way into the secret lair whilst going unnoticed by the other Housemates.

Once sat in the basement they are presented with two screens as Big Brother says: “This is Big Brother, welcome back to my secret basement. The Housemates have now nominated in the pairs you chose but the public will be voting for Housemates individually. You now face your next decision as Heads of House.”

“In front of you are two powers both will have a major impact on the house, you can only choose one. Will you take the power to save and replace that allows you to save one of the Housemate pairs facing eviction and replace them with another pair? Or, will it be a killer nomination which you can use to add another Housemate pair to those facing eviction?”

Big Brother continues: “Before you make that decision Ali and Dean, Big Brother can share some top secret information for you.”

As Big Brother shows which pairs are safe and which are nominated, Ali and Dean are taken aback as Ali says: “No way, no way.”

Dean is also shocked by the result as he says: “No, no.”

Which Housemates are at risk of being up for nomination and how will their fate fare in the hands of Heads of House Ali and Dean?

Will they save and replace or opt for a killer nomination? Dean says to Ali: “What do you want to do, I don’t know” as he puts his head in his hands.

Ali says: “I don’t like it.”

Later on as the Housemates gather on the sofas as news of the nominations are revealed, Ali and Dean are invited to stand to reveal the secret decision they’ve made to influence this week’s nomination.

The pressure builds as Dean asks Ali: “Is your heart pumping.”

Ali replies: “Yes, I’m actually going to cry.”

As the results are revealed how will the rest of the Housemates react?

KHALED AND ALI REIGNITE AN OLD FEUD

After the nominations Ali and Khaled reignite an old feud as Khaled asks If Ali now understands how difficult it is to make tough decisions as Head of House.

As the conversation continues and Khaled reflects on other Housemates' opinions, Ali says: “I don’t like this, this is a tactic in arguments that people use to say everybody thinks this about you.”

Ali adds: “If you’re not prepared to name them and give me the opportunity to speak to them, just don’t mention it.”

Ali asks: “Are you done? Cool. Bye.”

Seemingly unable to set aside their differences, will this disagreement cause further conflict for Ali and Khaled?

Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX. Stream previous episodes now.
