Big Brother UK housemate Sam put fellow contestant Marcus up for eviction for a reason rarely heard in the show’s history: he finds Marcus “too hot.” The unexpected move occurred during the first nomination round of the new series, instantly shifting the house dynamics and surprising both viewers and housemates.
The Unforgettable Nomination
The drama unfolded in the Diary Room, where each housemate privately shared the two people they wanted to put up for eviction. When it was Sam’s turn, he delivered a nomination that broke from the usual format of citing annoying habits or strategic gameplay.
Sam explained that his second nomination was for Marcus, stating it was “because he is so attractive.” He further noted that Marcus’s appearance was “borderline too much” and that he couldn’t be his “full self” around him. Big Brother, seemingly needing to confirm the reason, asked Sam to clarify his statement.
“Just so Big Brother understands, are you nominating Marcus for eviction because he’s just… too hot?” Big Brother asked.
To this, Sam simply confirmed, “Yeah, I’m nominating Marcus cause he’s too hot.”
A Tense Back-and-Forth Between Housemates
The tension between Sam and Marcus was not entirely one-sided. Earlier in the nominations process, Marcus had also nominated Sam, though for a more conventional reason. Marcus expressed that he did not feel a connection with Sam, as Sam had not made an effort to get to know him on a deeper level.
“My first nomination is Sam. I don’t feel like he’s asked me anything about myself,” Marcus said from the Diary Room. “I’ve talked to everyone else pretty much past that surface level, whereas I haven’t with Sam.”
This mutual nomination set the stage for a compelling storyline, highlighting how different personalities clash and connect within the Big Brother house.
Other Housemates Face the Public Vote
While Sam’s nomination stole the spotlight, other housemates also found themselves in danger. George, Elsa, and Cameron B were also nominated and will face the public vote. Richard was automatically put up for eviction after previously accepting the “Cursed Eye” from Big Brother, a twist that also forced him to make his nominations publicly in front of everyone.
George received a total of six nominations, the most of any housemate in this round. Fellow contestants like Cameron B, Feyisola, and Jenny cited his strong opinions as their reason for nominating him. Cameron B noted that George had made some housemates feel “not themself,” while Jenny said he “rammed his opinions down people’s throats.”
When Big Brother informed George he was up for eviction, he was not surprised. “I saw it coming a mile off,” he confessed, acknowledging that he had “ruffled feathers” in the house.
A House on Edge
The first nominations have significantly changed the atmosphere in the house. The process revealed early alliances, friction, and the unique social experiment that Big Brother represents. With four housemates now facing the public vote—George, Elsa, Cameron B, and Richard—the stakes are high. The eviction will take place on Friday, October 10, and the evicted housemate will be interviewed by hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best.
This series has already seen its share of drama, including the early eviction of political events manager Emily on the launch night. In a twist, she was voted out by fellow at-risk housemates Sam and Caroline after a public vote placed them in peril.
As the housemates await their fate, all eyes are on the public to decide who stays and who goes. Sam’s unconventional reason for nominating Marcus has become an instant talking point, reminding viewers that in the Big Brother house, anything can happen.
