I thought at one point they were going to give him the option to switch with chelsea, but then there was a change of heart halfway through the DR bit. No other reason I can think of for that bizarre part of it

Oh, that makes sense, yeah, I agree with you.

I think they planned for an other to be moved into the main house but they ran out of time with the adverts **** up so they just called Marco in for a chat as a "well we have to do something" moment

I thought it was just a time filling Marco promotion. Someone called into the DR live normally does mean a twist though.

The mess up for me was showing on screen that Chelsea was going with the Others, instead of just leaving it as him not a HM anymore. They would have guessed it anyway I suppose, but that just made it more boring.

Tbh I actually really enjoyed the live part of the show

I'm just thinking they may have had to change tonight's plans based on that. I don't even think they were supposed to find out this quickly "officially"... at least it doesn't seem that way

Poor production

[andybigbro]

It was so bad!

What even did I watch?

[BB-J*I*N*X]

wish I hadn't bothered ZZZZZ channel 5 are HOPELESS

The twist itself wasn't a bad idea, but it was executed terribly and didn't need a 30 minute show on Channel 5. They easily could've streamed it on the website or added it on to the last part of the highlights without the ad break kerfuffle.

I ran a poll over on Twitter - they did NOT like the twist tonight:

[Clootie Dumpling]

I think it was Chelsea asking what happened to Andrew that started the series of cock-ups. As many posts on here have said, it looks as if they were trying to fill a 30 minute slot, but couldn't use the material they'd already planned to use. I think they pulled the plug in a panic - several times, before inviting Marco to perform in the DR, which he didn't on this occasion.

[y.winter]

Even Emma couldn't bother showing up for the live twist.
Fail.

[Nicky91]

so the producers wanted to save Marco with this twist, good on the others for not choosing him


now if he's put up for eviction, his fate lies in the hands of the public/viewers, and i don't think he's quite likeable, so he might be going home
