Big Brother Switches to Vote-to-Save for Entire 25th-Anniversary Run

Producers are reshaping early gameplay through rapid twists that have already put Zelah Glasso on the block.

Overview

  • Host Will Best announced the shift on Tuesday's Big Brother: Late & Live ahead of the first live eviction.
  • It is the first time the civilian series will use vote-to-save for every live eviction, following limited past use in isolated cases and celebrity editions.
  • Viewers will vote via ITV’s online system after verifying a mobile number, with five votes per event allocated at the producers’ discretion.
  • Four new entrants were granted nomination power through an 'evil eyes' twist and selected Zelah Glasso to face the public vote.
  • The accelerated format has already seen Emily Hewertson evicted before spending a night in the house, while fan reaction to the changes has been loud on social media.
