Big Brother's History Mix-Up Leaves Fans Talking
8 Oct
Summary
- Housemates confused Betty Boop with suffragette Emily Davison.
- Emily Davison ran onto a racecourse, not Emmeline Pankhurst.
- Twinks is currently the bookies' favorite to win the show.
The latest episode of Big Brother saw viewers pointing out a historical inaccuracy. During a conversation, housemate Rochelle questioned if Betty Boop was the feminist who ran in the streets, mistaking her for a historical figure. Fellow housemate Twinks suggested it was Emily Pankhurst, who met a tragic end.
However, other housemates and eagle-eyed viewers on social media quickly corrected the information. They clarified that the suffragette who ran onto the racecourse was Emily Davison, not Emmeline Pankhurst. Davison's act of protest tragically occurred in 1913.
Despite this historical gaffe, Twinks is still considered the favorite to win the show according to current betting odds. This moment occurred shortly before the next live eviction, which will see either Pauline or Rob leave the House of Revelations.
