Recap Eviction | Big Brother on 10 it’s time to go… Vinnie – It seems one housemate has made Big Brother’s naughty list, as the house was rocked by a shock midnight eviction.
Waking the housemates from their slumber in the middle of the night for their shopping task, Big Brother had another surprise tucked away in his Christmas stocking: a midnight eviction.
And unfortunately for Vinnie, it was his time to ho, ho, go.
On Monday night, Edward received a special Christmas present from Big Brother: 10 nomination points to distribute live in front of Australia… and his fellow housemates!
Not holding back (and unaware that his nominations were also being broadcast in the living room), Edward dumped seven of his 10 points onto Vinnie, who was already at the top of the leaderboard and was once again facing eviction.
Does a free haircut mean nothing these days?!
Initially the golden boy of the house, Vinnie’s ‘under the radar’ gameplay was blown up by Jane who used her message from the grave to call him fake and suggest to the other housemates that he was a massive threat.
Jane’s words clearly rattled Vinnie who, in the following days, began to second-guess his relationships and strategy in the house, and it clearly resonated with some of his housemates who began to nominate him for what they believed to be insincerity.
But it wasn’t all doom and gloom for Vinnie, who won’t be leaving the house emptyhanded.
Answering the Big Brother phone, Vinnie was given the opportunity to either add $25,000 to the prize money or take $10,000 for himself. Opting for the latter choice, Vinnie had to explain his decision to the other housemates, putting an even bigger spotlight on himself for the nominations.
During the Grand BB Hotel shopping task, Vinnie relished the challenge of being a ‘guest from hell’, causing mayhem for Coco, Holly, Bruce, and Edward. And while tensions were at an all-time high in the house, once the challenge was over Vinnie was quick to repair things with the four housemates who had been tortured by guest demands throughout the week.
Speaking to host Mel Tracina after leaving the house, Vinnie said his eviction was:
“As brutal as it looked, I can assure you. It’s an honour, Australia, it’s an honour to have been embarrassed, singing a Christmas jungle, and then leaving the Big Brother house.”
Being called fake and performative by other housemates, Vinnie told the crowd, “I was me 100 percent through and through… there was no two-faced or putting on a facade here… it was all just what you saw is what you got with me.
“I’m not fake, Australia… You all watched the show, you could see I was the same in one room as in the other room and, for people to call me fake I feel like reflects on their own insecurities, in my opinion.
“I’m not a fake person.”
The final nominations have hit the house, and as Vinnie learned the hard way – get your votes in fast, as the person with the least amount could go at any time!
