The fate of a Big Brother star has been “sealed” as ITV2 viewers weigh in on a heartwarming moment, which they label as a “game plan”.
As we edge closer to the 2025 final, tensions are escalating in the famous house. Just last week, Caroline and Nancy were evicted from the house during Friday’s double eviction, mere days after housemate Sam was unexpectedly eliminated.
The 2025 series is due to conclude this week, with only one contestant set to be declared the winner. However, with just a few days remaining, fans are certain about one housemate’s “game plan” as two stars declare their love.
Tonight’s episode (9 November) will follow the housemates after Friday’s double eviction. In a preview, Elsa and Marcus appear to have confirmed their feelings with an “I love you.”
In conversation with Jenny, Teja, and Emily, Elsa declares: “I love love”, prompting Emily to ask: “Wait, are you in love?”, reports OK!.
Elsa affirms this, leading Emily to exclaim, “Are you? Are you really? Oh, I’m so happy for you. Have you told him or no?”
Acknowledging that they have both expressed their love, Emily says, “Aw, Elsa, I’m so happy for you.”
However, viewer reactions have been mixed, with some criticising the “showmance” as a “game plan” on social media as a sneak peek is shared.
One fan described it as “cringe,” while another commented: “Marcus’s last-ditch attempt to make the final.”
A third commented: “On the run up to the final week, he drops the L bomb.”
A fourth viewer remarked: “Total game playing once neither them win they will seperate once the 2 weeks of photoshoots end and go into the world of unknown housemates.”
Another said, “Sure, Marcus is a great guy, but he’s done absolutely nothing to get in the final. Only screentime he gets is because of Elsa.”
Having detected the “game plan”, numerous viewers predicted Marcus would miss out on the final, potentially facing eviction in a forthcoming elimination as they shared their thoughts on the likely winner, with housemate Richard apparently the favourite.
Nevertheless, other supporters backed the pair, considering their relationship to be authentic. One viewer posted: “Marcus and Elsa are actually quite SWEET can’t believe I’m saying this.”
Another said, “Everyone was saying this was all a showmance too; they’re genuinely in love, and it’s cute to see.”
Previous Big Brother champion from 2023, Jordan Sangha, also weighed in as he responded: “That house is such a melting pot whenever it concerns feelings of ‘love’. I think comfortable would be better than the dreaded ‘L-word’. Elsa is really endearing, and I hope this is genuine.”
Former housemate Cameron B additionally observed: “Loves a strong word, Marcus, but if it’s true, then all the best.”
