Tension escalated within the Celebrity Big Brother house on Thursday as residents faced the difficult task of choosing two individuals to put forward for possible eviction.
Following Jack P. Shepherd, Michael Fabricant, and Mickey Rourke’s initial nominations, it is now up to viewers to determine who will be the first to depart the competition.
However, some justifications offered by the contestants have been met with criticism from fans of the ITV show. Donna Preston’s reasoning for nominating Angellia Bell was particularly unusual – she cited Bell’s choice of sleepwear as a factor, claiming they wore “the same pyjamas.” Furthermore, Preston also voted against Shepherd, alleging he used “too much aftershave.”
Fabricant, 74, explained his decision to nominate Patsy Palmer, 52, due to her inquiry regarding his hairpiece. He admitted to being sensitive about the matter.
Palmer’s own nomination of Jack P. Shepherd garnered significant attention. She stated her reasoning stemmed from a fear of the character he resembles – The Joker from *Batman*. According to Palmer, she experiences nightmares related to the villain and finds Shepherd’s appearance unsettling, triggering those anxieties.
The reactions to this explanation were divided; some viewers found it amusing, while others deemed it illogical.
Recent Developments:
- Viewers are threatening a boycott of the series due to Mickey Rourke’s comments and behavior.
- Rourke’s actions in the kitchen have been labeled “disgusting” by some viewers, with claims of being “traumatized.”
- A controversy has erupted surrounding Rourke’s branding of JoJo Siwa as a derogatory term during an explosive exchange.
The situation prompted a flurry of reactions on X (formerly Twitter).
Here are some excerpts from viewers:
“Jack the Joker. Kind of a harsh nomination. #CBB #CelebrityBigBrother.”
“Nominating Jack because he looks like the Joker?! These reasons really are stupid! #cbb #cbbuk.”
“I bet he’d never suspect that the reason he got voted was because he looked like the joker #cbb”
“Can’t get over patsy nominating Jack because he looks like the joker and she’s worried he’s going to trigger some nightmares #CBB #CBBUK.”
Other housemates who nominated Shepherd expressed a sentiment that he appeared less approachable than his fellow contestants.
Mickey Rourke, 72, is also facing eviction. This nomination was orchestrated by JoJo Siwa, 21, who was granted the power to select a housemate for potential removal following Rourke’s controversial remarks made during Wednesday’s episode.
Beyond the nomination itself, Rourke has been criticized for his behavior towards host AJ Odudu on Monday, with some describing it as “creepy.”
