Notes
edit- ^Note 1 : As Team USA won a task on Day 10, they were granted the right to nominate as Scoop became President of the House. In addition, as Team USA won, Team UK will not be allowed to nominate and will be the only ones able to be nominated. Later that day, President Scoop was forced to make a killer nomination against one Housemate, meaning they would automatically face the public vote. On Day 11, Team USA then collectively decided three more Housemates who would also face the public vote with Chris. They chose Bobby, Gail, and Stevi & Chloe-Jasmine.
- ^Note 2 : This week, the Housemates nominated face-to-face. However, in a twist, the public were voting to fake evict rather than to save, with the two Housemates receiving the most votes fake evicted and moved into a secret Luxury Suite. In a further twist, the other Housemates will be made aware of this, unbeknownst to the residents of the Suite.
- ^Note 3 : As residents of the Luxury Suite, Farrah and Jenna are immune from nominations, and will be in control of who will face the public vote. However, unbeknownst to them, whoever they believe to have nominated for eviction will be immune from the public vote. The Housemates in the main house will be made aware of this and will have to try to get nominated in order to be immune from the next eviction, and whoever is not chosen will face the public vote.
- ^Note 4 : This week all Housemates automatically faced the public vote. The four Housemates with the most votes will be saved, while the five remaining Housemates will be subject to an eviction twist. The four saved housemates (Austin, James, Natasha and Stevi & Chloe-Jasmine) had to pick one of the five remaining housemates (Bobby, Farrah, Janice, Jenna and Sherrie) to save from eviction. Natasha saved Sherrie, James saved Janice, Stevi & Chloe-Jasmine saved Bobby and ultimately Austin chose to evict Farrah thus saving Jenna from eviction.
- ^Note 5 : In addition to finding out who was nominated on Day 25, Housemates were also shown who nominated them.
- ^Note 6 : For the final two days, the public were voting to win rather than to save. The voting percentages reflect the overall share of the final vote and do not take into account the vote freezes between each position. James won with 57.17% of the vote over Austin.[18]
