Big Brother’s Daniel Hayes and Sarah Jane Adams are ‘blindsided’ by eviction nods

‘Well played, kids’: Big Brother’s Daniel Hayes and Sarah Jane Adams are left ‘blindsided’ when they’re both put up for elimination during an emotionally charged eviction which sees one of them leaving the house in tears


Daniel Hayes and Sarah Jane Adams were left ‘blindsided’ during Wednesday’s episode of Big Brother when they were both put up for eviction by their younger housemates.

Both Daniel, 48, and SJ appeared shell-shocked as they sat in front of their fellow remaining housemates – Ari Kimber, Christina Podolyan and Marley Biyendolo. 

‘Well-played, kids,’ SJ, 66, told them, after being faced with the prospect of eviction.

Christina and Ari, both 22, stunned the remaining housemates when they formed a secret alliance and put Daniel and SJ up for eviction after winning earlier challenges.

Daniel admitted he was surprised to be put up for eviction, because he expected Ari to nominate Christina.

‘He shook on it, agreed to it,’ Daniel said of Ari, who simply sat alongside Christina and laughed.

‘Should we tell them? Ari and I were just pretending to still dislike each other so that this would work out,’ added Christina.

But Marley, 26, said he would vote to save Daniel after giving him his word earlier on, unlike Ari. 

‘I’m a man of my word, and when I shake someone’s hand and tell them I’ll have their back, I’ll have their back,’ he said pointedly.

After calling Daniel ‘the biggest threat that’s walked into this show’, Ari voted to evict him.

Christina also voted to evict Daniel, while Marley stood by his word and voted to evict SJ, despite saying she’d become a mother figure to him in the house.

Host Sonia Kruger then informed the remaining housemates that Daniel had been eliminated, leading to an emotional display.

After saying his goodbyes, Daniel broke down in tears as he collected his belongings and made his way to the exit. 

‘I know tomorrow, after I’ve had a few tears, I’ll think, I got outplayed by a 22-year-old and a 21-year-old, who just smashed me all over the eviction room, and I didn’t see that coming to be honest,’ he confessed. 

He added: ‘I got blindsided.’
