to win

^Note 1 : As part of an eviction twist, Georgia, the housemate to survive eviction on Day 7 had to nominate two housemates to face eviction on Day 9. She chose Nicola and Natasha.

^Note 2 : Frankie and Nicola won immunity from the third eviction after winning a task.

^Note 3 : Immediately following Georgia’s eviction, the housemates were forced to nominate in quickfire face-to-face nominations, still giving full and frank reasons as usual. As there was a double eviction, the three or more housemates with the most nominations faced the public vote instead of two. The two housemates with the fewest votes were evicted in a double eviction on Day 16.

^Note 4 : For the final week the public were voting for who they wanted to win rather than to save. The two housemates with the fewest votes were evicted in a surprise double eviction on Day 21.
