Eviction result 'not affected' by Dermot error

sábado, 26 de enero de 2008 |

Big Brother producers have insisted that a "scripting error" in last night's eviction show did not affect the outcome of the vote.

Host Dermot O'Leary caused confusion by incorrectly stating, on two separate occasions, that the two housemates with the least votes would be evicted. In fact, there was no change to the usual format and viewers were expected to call up to boot out their least favourite contestants.

Jay and Calista were the housemates chosen to be evicted, leaving Amy, Anthony, Emilia, Jeremy, John and Nathan to face Monday's final.

A statement on the official Big Brother site explained: "Due to a scripting error in last night's eviction show, Dermot mentioned on two occasions that the two people with the least amount of votes would be evicted, when in fact it was a vote to evict.

"However, at all other times throughout the show, the vote was communicated correctly as a vote to evict. Furthermore, before every phone number was given out, Dermot said "To evict X, call..." and the graphic clearly stated "To Evict".

"The position of the two housemates who were evicted in last night's vote (Calista and Jay) did not change while the programme was being broadcast."
