Big Brother 2026 is heading into another eviction cycle tonight, and this week the housemates are facing one another for face-to-face nominations. As part of the nomination process, the housemates were given cards featuring the faces of their fellow housemates and had to keep the two people they wanted to nominate. Those choices will now be revealed in front of the group, meaning everyone will find out exactly who nominated them and why.
Twinks and Catrin are both immune from this week’s eviction, although they must still take part in the nominations and cast their own votes. With tensions already rising during the House of Revelations, having every nomination revealed in front of the group could make for an uncomfortable night inside the house.
SPOILER WARNING: This article will be updated live throughout tonight’s episode with every face-to-face nomination, the final housemates up for eviction and any twists revealed by Big Brother.

What Happened After the Big Brother Face-to-Face Nominations?
The face-to-face nominations left plenty for the housemates to talk about, with Pauline and Rob both hearing exactly why so many of their fellow housemates had chosen them.
Pauline’s nominations largely came back to the ongoing disagreement over the house’s food. Several housemates referred to the arguments around her wanting organic food and asking others not to eat certain items she considered hers, with the issue clearly becoming a bigger source of frustration in the house than she may have realised. Rob’s singing was another surprisingly common reason given during the nominations. Several housemates said they found the amount he sings around the house annoying, leaving Rob hearing the same criticism from more than one person during the face-to-face process.
Pauline told Rob that she was considering leaving the house altogether rather than facing eviction. She asked how he would feel if she left so that he would not have to go through the public vote, but Rob immediately told her he would never want her to do that for him. Pauline said she felt unwanted in the house and did not want to stay somewhere she was not welcome, with Rob asking her not to leave but making it clear that the decision ultimately had to be hers.
Rochelle confronted Samuel on the sofa after hearing that he had called her a narcissist, asking him directly what made him think that about her. The conversation was then cut short when Big Brother started playing music for Rhianna’s birthday party, giving the housemates a temporary break from the tension.
Catrin approached Pauline after feeling she had been ignored following the nominations. Pauline responded by pointing out that this was the third time she had been put up for eviction and said she did not need “all this extra shit” on top of having to pack her suitcase again. Catrin said she had only been trying to join the conversation. Later, when Catrin went into the toilet, Pauline believed she had left and began venting about her to the others, saying Catrin wanted attention and was making everything about herself.
Catrin came back out in tears and told Pauline she had been in the toilet the entire time and had heard the conversation. Pauline responded: “Now she’s in tears and I’m the villain,” before saying that seeing Catrin cry was difficult for her because she felt she had never been given the same space to show emotion. She added: “Someone like me, the life I’ve had, I don’t get to cry. I’ve got to toughen the fuck up and be strong,” before saying: “There we go, Pauline is the villain. Story of my life.”
Catrin was comforted by Rochelle on the sofa before the pair went into the bathroom, where Pauline was already sitting. Rochelle confronted Pauline, saying: “I hope you are fucking proud of yourself,” with Pauline replying: “Don’t fucking start with me.” The exchange became heated and Big Brother called Pauline to the Diary Room, later telling her to sleep in the snug because it was not appropriate for Pauline, Catrin and Rochelle to share a room that night. Catrin remained upset and was comforted by Rochelle in bed.
For CultureCues, this was a big episode for the house. Pauline and Rob are now up for eviction, but the nominations brought drama, drama, drama. We think the whole situation between Pauline and Catrin was blown out of proportion, especially once Rochelle got involved, but I suppose that is the kind of fallout viewers keep watching Big Brother for. It will be interesting to see what the atmosphere is like in the house tomorrow after everything that happened tonight, before attention turns to Friday and whether Pauline or Rob will be the one evicted.
Big Brother continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
