It was really unprofessional on Channel 5's part

Agree plus making Hughie stand up to announce their decision was pretty dumb

Nothing about this twist seemed at all planned or thought through and they're just making more problems for themselves down the line because I really don't think they know where they're going with it all

It was so bad!

What even did I watch?

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 think you are part correct. They were hiding what was going on in either house because quite simply nothing was going on. Conversations stalling total boring viewing from either side.

So in desperation they created a false mystery with Marco which kept viewers watching thinking there was more to the twist.

No one seems to have noticed that the program was advertised as Emma reveals that BB twist. Where was she ? Wouldn't surprise me if she refused to present over such utter rubbish

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

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.

It looked more like a live feed when it started. Then Marcus coming in with a booming voice, but there was a lot of awkward silence. Just so confusing.

I would've liked to have seen Emma tonight. She could've cut in and filled up the time until they figured it out.

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

Chelsea is now in the Udder House, and has to work to become a genuine housemate again.

It ain't rocket science.

[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

Add to that a series of bloopers by a junior as it was all live and hey presto
