Big Brother’s Tom Barber forces EIGHT housemates into ‘exile’ to fight for their survival as house splits in two
ALL the couples were divided as Tom followed the public's orders to get them to stand alone
BIG BROTHER'S game has well and truly begun as the housemates were split into two camps to fight for their place in the house.
Tom, who was named 'People's Champion' inside the house, was tasked to talk to the viewing public and make a decision over who should be "exiled" from the Big Brother house and be put up for nomination.
It will also mean that they are split between the luxury "rose" bedroom, and the downtrodden "thorn" dormatory, and the exiled will be inferior to those who are living as citizens.
Tom was then instructed to reveal who he had chosen to live an ‘inferior’ life inside the Elstree compound and face the first public vote by dishing out badges to those who can remain ‘citizens’ and who were 'exiled' and had to fight for survival in the game.
He also ensured that all the housemates that came in as couples were split up - meaning they were forced to stand alone for the forseeable future.

The housemates that are now in exile are:
Rebecca
When honey-trapper and private investigator Rebecca found out that she wasn't going to be a safe citizen, she admitted that she expected that to be the case.
Speaking later in the diary room, she admitted: "It is absolutely standard for people to exile me when you first meet me!"
She then compared the game to the Hunger Games and said that being removed from her co-worker Kieran was like "taking away her security blanket".
Chanelle
On hearing that she was not getting a citizen badge, Chanelle screamed at the top of her lungs straight into Tom's face before sitting back down in a huff.
When her housemates tried to reassure her, she moaned: “That’s so annoying! I am not sly, I am not two-faced… what you see is what you get, and they’ve not give it me (sic) just because I’m loud? F*** off.”
Raph
American Raph bragged on his videotape that he was a gameplayer and the news got through to Tom during his Facebook live - prompting him to revoke his citizenship.
The young graduate appeared to take the hit on the chin.
Hannah
When it came to to deciding which of the two sisters was safe, Hannah drew the short straw as Tom considered sister Deborah "like a mum".
Hannah later said that she was "hurt" that she was split from her sister.
Deborah reassured her and said that they were blood and could never be separated - plus with other housemates, she had little to worry about.

Sukhvinder
While her husband Imran was given a safe spot, Sukhvinder was sent into exile- something that left her fuming.
She later ranted that there were f***ing rude people in the house she doesn't like and that she admitted she was finding it hard to adjust in the house.
As Imran reassured her that it was just the first day, she responded: "I don't need a first day, I need the first few minutes!"
Arthur
The Fulford son angered a lot of the housemates almost immediately by dismantling a mannequin, stripping down to his pants and helping himself to the communal drinks without thinking through who got what.
This didn't go unnoticed by Tom, who gave the reality star toff a grim awakening by shunning him to the poor area of the country.
He then compared the split to his class system, and tried to start an uprising within the exile camp.
Charlotte
Charlotte again drew the short straw over her mum as Tom felt that the mum presence was needed in the safe part of the house.
As she went back to her seat, Charlotte mumbled to mum Mandy that she would be living in luxury - and she was right.
As Mandy recieved her citizenship badge, she declared: "There are some positives to being older!"
Lotan
When Tom was forced to pick between Lotan and Kayleigh Morris, the last remaining housemate to be given her status, Tom chose Lotan to be exiled.
To further twist the knife, Tom said that the reason was because the viewing public considered Lotan arrogant, with the capability to "pick him up and drop him" as he pleased.
