Overview
- During the Oct. 30 Late & Live broadcast, panellist Dean McCullough asked whether a new Eye Mart item would let a housemate buy a place in the final, and AJ Odudu said she could not confirm or deny it.
- Entertainment outlets highlighted the exchange as fans posted criticism on X, arguing a purchasable pass would undermine audience control over finalists.
- A double eviction is set for Friday, Oct. 31, with a public vote between Zelah, Farida and Richard proceeding as scheduled.
- On the Oct. 28 episode, Farida and Richard each received five nominations from fellow housemates, placing them on the block alongside Zelah.
- Earlier, Caroline bought the EyeDeal Mini Mart Save and Replace token to remove Tate from nomination and add Zelah instead, underscoring how in-house mechanics are shaping the vote.
