Big Brother's Hussain and Lewis both face fan backlash

From Digital Spy

Big Brother viewers are sick of seeing Isabella taking the brunt of the increasingly-nasty feud between Hussain and Lewis F. Their solution is simple: ditch them both!

Recent episodes have seen Isabella caught in between the two as tensions have flared, with Isabella often times taking the brunt of frustrations in rows.

This happened again in Wednesday's (October 17) episode when it looked like a romantic spark between her and Lewis F was starting to grow. This ticked off the house's self-proclaimed 'king' Hussain and he once again berated her when she beat him in the Gamechanger.

"Go back to your boyfriend [Lewis], you absolute loser," he seethed, later ordering: "Don't you f**king dare even speak my name. If you want the Big Bad F**kin' Wolf, you'll get it!"

Isabella once again tried keeping the peace by insisting to the other housemates that Hussain just needed food - but Lewis insisted it was an "attitude problem", putting it down to arrogance and jealousy.

Any points that Lewis won with that argument were washed away later in the episode when he made a series of disparaging comments about Isabella behind her back.

"When me and Isabella talk, I'm prying stuff out," he told Brooke. "We don't have that intellectual depth connection. She's pretty and I'm attracted to her, but if I'm going to pursuit it and kiss her, and f**k her, what's that for?

"It's not what I want. I want something real, and connected, and undeniable and uncontrollable. If I was to f**k her, that would make me a hypocrite and contradict everything I stood for. I'm not saying she's a bad person. All I'm saying is, right now, all I'm seeing is that laugh and there's no connection there right now.

"She's making an effort, but is Hussain right? Is she making an effort because she knows she's going to be evicted?"

If that's not bad enough, he branded Sian a "f**king fake c**t" in a separate rant to Cameron. Many viewers are upset at both Hussain and Lewis after their treatment of Isabella:

It is worth noting that unlike Lewis, a tearful Hussain did actually apologise to Isabella. He even admitted in the Diary Room that he lashed out over jealousy

"Through school I was lonely, so it's nothing new to me," he recounted through tears to Big Brother. "I was bullied quite a lot... I spent most of my time on my own."

Big Brother fans have a chance to get one or both out on Friday night as part of a double eviction special - although there were some questions about possible producer meddling when Big Brother opened a poll to change Friday's eviction from Vote to Evict to Vote to Save.

Luckily, it was announced at the end of Wednesday's show that Vote to Evict won the poll and everything stays as is.

Big Brother continues on Thursday (October 18) at 10pm on Channel 5, followed by Bit on the Side at 11.05pm.
