BIG BROTHER TONIGHT: FULL RUNDOWN, THURSDAY 22nd OCTOBER 2026
Here's a full rundown of what to expect in tonight's episode of Big Brother, which continues on ITV2 and ITVX.
BIG BROTHER SENDS THE HOUSEMATES BACK IN TIME
For this week’s shopping task, the House has been transformed into Big Brother’s Time Machine. Housemates will travel back in time to prehistoric times, Ancient Egypt and the 1980s.
Big Brother says, “...some say time flies when you’re having fun. Unfortunately, Big Brother thinks you’re having too much fun in the present. Welcome to Big Brother’s Time Machine.”
“Rochelle, Omar, Catrin and Twinks, you’re heading to the prehistoric times. Philip, Samuel, Frankie and Rhianna, you’re traveling to Ancient Egypt. Yasmin, Harry and Lynx, you’re going back to the 1980s… Housemates, travel back in time safely, and try not to change the course of history.”
Big Brother calls Lynx, Harry and Yasmin to the Diary Room for their task, “It’s time to get physical. Whenever you hear the track ‘Physical’, you must immediately make your way to the multi-coloured dance floor tiles. Each of you must stand on your own tile and perform two aerobics moves.”
Later, Big Brother calls the prehistoric Housemates to the ancient cave. For this part of the task, each prehistoric Housemate must take turns to select a rock containing a phrase relating to the Big Brother House and draw it on the wall with chalk. Housemates will have 60 seconds to correctly guess what each cave drawing represents.
Catrin is attempting to draw her phrase.
Rochelle says, “Crown… Rhianna’s crown.
Twinks says, “Hierarchy! Hierarchy!”
Will the Housemates successfully pass their time machine tasks in order to win a luxury shopping budget or will they be stuck on an economy budget?
TWINKS TALKS TO HARRY AND SAMUEL ABOUT THE ENERGY IN THE HOUSE
Twinks, Harry and Sam are at the dining table.
Twinks says, “We did 24 hours chained together… me and my boy [Sam], we need something BB.”
Harry says, “Oh 100%.”
Twinks says, “‘Cause if she gets 30 seconds and we did all of that, I will start ripping this place apart with my bare hands.”
Harry says, “I think, ridiculous as it sounds, you were handcuffed for 24 hours and you don’t get any time for that and Rochelle does.”
Twinks says, ‘Yeah, I know.”
Harry says, “Which is insane.”
Twinks says, “I’ve been a good sport, and for us to relinquish these cuffs and no one even be like ‘well done guys’ you know or like ‘good’. And for that woman, to at no point today say ‘thank you’. I’m going slightly out of my mind… me and my boy gave you 30 f*ing seconds for 24 hours… Gratitude, empathy, kindness costs nothing.”
Sam says, “She’s a very self-centred person.”
A few moments later, Twinks says, “You have to understand that like, I am made of magic, believe it or not, whatever you think you believe, what I believe, I am a witch and I feel energy like no tomorrow and the energy in here is booky as h*ll man. It’s janky energy. This is some neggy, neggy, neggy energy.”
Harry says, “You can feel it, yeah.”
Twinks says, “And it’s not cute, it’s not light, it’s heavy as h*ll.”
Harry says, “Heavy, heavy s**t.”
Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
