So it sets a precedent for a future 'cert' for eviction to say they feel ill and be exempt from the eviction process, whether they are really ill or not.
She should have faced eviction like the rest, or withdrawn from the show. A 'sick note' has never been done before, and it opens the way for more in the future (at BB's discretion of course!)

I think it would be pretty obvious if a pattern emerged of housemates faking illness. They don't just leave on a whim for saying "I feel sick" like a kid not wanting to go school. They see a doctor on the premises first.

Or at least that was the way on channel 4.

If she wasn't excluded then they lose their "dramatic end to armageddon week". All that promo/exaggeration for nothing and a third of the show with no interview.

Or it's a fix, but we won't know until we see a bit more than one line from Emma.

But just because no one's been sick on eviction night before means diddly squat. Plenty have left the house (some overnight) for hospital treatment.
