    Big Brother UK 2024 – Day 23 Notes

    • The living room has been converted into “Camp Big Brother”.
    • Housemates are dressed as jocks and cheerleaders.
    • The challenges will end with someone becoming Head of House, which means immunity.
    • There is a book. Actions must be performed by camp mates. Thomas reads the first page and chooses Martha and Sarah.
    • Martha and Sarah have to dance around the fire. Sarah chooses Thomas and Khaled
    • Thomas and Khaled have to down some gruel (porridge). Khaled chooses Emma and Marcello.
    • Cheerleader Emma made up a story about Marcello. Emma chooses Nathan.
    • Nathan reads his page. Only 1 of the 13 campers would make it out alive. 1 camper, (He chooses Ali) falls into a trance.
    • Ali has to get a skull from the hatch and walk around the campers. Nathan continued reading and chose someone to not be head of house.
    • He chooses Martha. Martha asks him why didn’t he choose someone who was already HoH. Nathan says that he has his reasons.
    • Ali pours the blood inside the skull over Martha. Martha is now ‘dead’.
    • WELCOME TO HALLO-WEEK!
    • Martha seems visibly upset with Nathan choosing her.
    • Martha in the DR – She thought she was cool with Nathan. He has ‘stabbed’ Martha. She never thought about nominating him… She will now.
    • The next victim will be chosen soon. There are amulets hidden around the house. They can be used to prevent someone from being killed. There are only 6 amulets.
    • Everyone scatters to find them.
    • Lily, Sarah, Marcello, Segun, Emma, Baked Potato got the amulets.
    • The 6 must now choose 2 people to protect. The remaining 4 will be ‘eliminated’. There are 2 extra amulets in the hatch.
    • The 6 decide that people who were already head of house will not get an amulet. They choose Thomas as one.
    • They decide between Hanah and Nathan. There is a vote and Nathan wins. He gets the 2nd amulet.
    • Hanah, Ali, Khaled and Dean are eliminated. 4 of the protected pour blood over them.
    • Hanah is not happy with Sarah over her choosing Nathan over her. Sarah explains that she gets on with Nathan better than her.
    • Lily in the DR – Lily shouting “Gimme a H”. BB responds nonchalantly “H”, “A”, “P”, “P”, “Y”. She wants to be HoH “A lot is at risky… I mean, a lot is at stake”. She is ready to be HoH.
    • Sarah and Martha are whispering in the hallway that Hanah gets upset when someone else is chosen over her.
    • Hanah in the DR – She didn’t come in with a game plan. She can’t stand people being fake. She feels like that Sarah backstabbed her and that no-one else is seeing what she is seeing.
    • Hanah is upstairs crying. She wants to see her ‘girls’. Ali speaks with Hanah about missing her “homegirls” – She has 8 homegirls outside but inside, she has none. – She cannot relate to any of the girls in the house. All discussions are ‘surface level’.
    • She thinks that everyone in the house is against her. She cannot believe that Sarah chose Nathan over her. Ali responds that there is not to “stimulate” deeper conversations and all that is talked about is gossip within the house.
    • A crow caws in the garden. BP and Dean get spooked. The crow caws again and they go over. Some girl speaks. She can only speak to one of them. BP goes into the house.
    • The crow has a scouse accent. They ask their name and where do they come from. It’s Clare the crow! Clare has a conversation with Dean.
    • Clare asks Dean, “Who do you want to murder?”. Dean can give Clare 2 names. We don’t know who Dean chooses.
    • BB gets everyone around the campfire. They reveal that someone spoke with the crow and that 2 people would be eliminated.
    • Dean chose Marcello and Segun. They have had ‘eliminated’. Khaled and Dean pour blood over them.
    • 6 people are left and one 1 is going to be HoH. Marcello: “Time for the Purge to commence”.
    • Everyone is questioning who the ‘rat’ is.
    • Marcello is in the DR – He would have liked to be HoH. BB is not what it seems.
    • Dean reveals to BP that the crow asked him to kill 2 people. He chose Marcello as he ‘killed’ Dean. And he chose Segun as he didn’t want to be HoH. Dean wonders if anyone knows that it was him. BP says “no” and he does an evil laugh.
    • There are 6 living people left. Lily, Emma, Thomas, Nathan, BP and Sarah are left. 1 dead housemate collects a plate with a cloche from the hatch. Under the cloche are torches. They are given to each of the living housemates.
    • Only 1 of the 6 torches will work. Whoever torches light up, becomes Head of House. “That’s a shit ending” ~Thomas.
    • Emma’s torch is the only one that works. She is now Head of House. She is now immune from eviction.
    • 5 dead housemates collect the 5 skulls and pour the blood over the remaining living people to ‘kill’ them.
    • Thomas is in the DR – He is very Anti-HoH. Nathan and Martha wanted to be HoH.
    • BB has called the HoH Emma to the DR – She has to go to the secret basement.
    • She goes to the secret basement. There are “the dolls of doom” with housemates faces on them.
    • As Emma is HoH on Hallo-week, she is now “Evil Head of House”. She has more power. She won’t be just affecting nominations. She will be making nominations.
    • She must choose 4 people who will be up for eviction. She chooses Martha, Thomas, Khaled, and Ali. She ‘locks’ in her nominations by putting a pin in each doll.
    • Martha, Thomas, Khaled and Ali are up for eviction. Voting closes during Big Brother Late & Live (The post-show that BB does) [Voting is already closed by the time this has been posted]
