Big Brother star Adriana left fuming over Danny’s brutal blindside
Adriana #Adriana
Big Brother has officially reached boiling point — and this time, chickpeas and peanut butter have nothing to do with it.
Tempers flared as the closest thing to the house couple, Adriana and Danny, were torn apart during a fiery eviction ceremony with a shocking outcome no one saw coming.
Meanwhile, a mysterious intruder threatened to disrupt the already tense house dynamic with her charm and good looks.

We pick up where we left off, with nearly-evicted Tilly secretly shunned to Big Brother’s trippy mirror room, where she’s muttering to herself with maniacal energy and befriending a pile of almonds. She seems to be doing well.
In the main house, Danny is pissed. He’s stony-faced and red-eyed, hissing at Sid across the dinner table while crunching a chicken bone between his teeth.
As someone for whom chewing noises are a form personal torture, it’s stomach churning to watch.
“You guys have gotta stop blowing up your own people … Mary, Tilly,” he spits. Sid shrugs as if to remind Danny he’s competing in a reality show, not the ancient battle of Thermopylae.
“I’ve learnt anything goes. It’s good, it’s great. I now know what game Sid is playing,” he adds through gritted teeth as his face reddens.
“What game is that Danny?” Sid retorts.
Meanwhile, a bored-looking Ari is licking his plate with his finger as Danny and Sid fight over him. Iconic.

The fight eventually simmers down and they head off to bed. In the morning, they placate the tension by collectively cooing at Tilly’s rabbits in baby voices. The pace at which the energy shifts in this house is wild.
Back in the mirror room, Tilly is perking up too, engrossed in her own reflection and remarking that she’s finally able to see her ponytail from the back.
As the wise Paris Hilton once said, “Never pass a mirror without looking in it”, so Tilly should count herself lucky for being surrounded by them.
She says she wants revenge, and after playing with some cups and making pigeon noises for a few minutes, decides to take matters into her own hands and form a new alliance.
She designs her very own housemate, a 2021 take on Wilson, the volleyball from Castaway.
“You look good Sal,” she tells a propped up silver pillow wearing a bikini top stuffed with two silver balls.
Should we be concerned?
We leave Tilly and her fragile mental state to return to the house, where Big Brother sets a memory challenge for the remaining contestants.
The housemates take turns bragging about the strength of their memory, or sighing self deprecatingly as they reveal theirs is sub-par.
As someone who can remember her Nokia 3315 ringtone from when she was 12, but can’t remember anyone’s name five minutes after meeting them, I can confidently say I can’t remember the rules of the game and I don’t know where I am.
I do know SJ wins the memory challenge, and scores a new advantage. At the next nomination challenge, she can opt for a replay if she’s unhappy with the outcome. In other words, a fun new way to waste everybody’s time.
Today’s nomination challenge involves balance, finesse and patience, so it comes as no surprise when five minutes in Danny threatens to throw a block of wood across the room. The angry dad energy returns.
Christina wins, but SJ plays her advantage and requests a replay of the entire challenge. Adriana wins the second time around, but SJ’s move has rubbed her the wrong way.
She puts up SJ, Marley and Ari for nomination, claiming Ari is her “safe vote”, and confident her close relationship with Danny means they can squeeze SJ out of the house.
On hearing the news, Ari takes it well, vowing to burn down the Big Brother mansion if he’s booted.
The contestants scramble as Danny plots a blindside, using his secret Marley alliance to stack votes against Ari.
Meanwhile, we pop in on Tilly, who’s given Sal a third boob like the alien from Total Recall.
Back in the eviction zone, Adriana, Christina and Ari are still none the wiser to Danny’s sneaky ploy.
Sonia’s routine meddling doesn’t even seem to make them sweat.
They vote, and much to Adriana, Christina and Ari’s horror, Ari is voted out (or so they think).
What happens next has to be the most hilariously dramatic reaction to a blindside this show has ever seen. You’d think Sonia had just told them Ari is about to be shot.
Eyes wide in shock, Christina shouts “WHAT” and clasps her hands to her mouth.
Ari starts nibbling on his fingers as though he’s about to devour both of his hands.
And Adriana turns to Danny with a look of pure rage, whisper-yelling “DID YOU DO THIS?”
It’s *chef’s kiss*.
Eventually, Ari stands up and walks out without saying goodbye to anyone.
Still fuming, Adriana declares game on with Danny, shaking her head and repeating “I didn’t think you’d do that to me” before breaking down in tears and storming off to the diary room to whine about the betrayal.
Christina remains glued to the couch, still gobsmacked, while Ari walks slowly down the hallway with his bags, breathing heavily.
As he approaches the exit, Big Brother stops him in his tracks and sends him to the mirror room with Tilly.
Little does he know, a new intruder awaits.
