viewers have erupted in fury over a new twist introduced just before the final, claiming it has spoiled the series. Enthusiasts of the show were left disgruntled during Thursday’s episode when Danny, Maura, Coleen, and Oti were selected to compete in a trial for a chance at securing a coveted ticket for the Celebrity Cyclone.
Oti dazzled hosts with her performance, earning the ticket and immunity from the next two eliminations. Fans, however, expressed their discontent with the change, feeling “rigged” by the loss of their power to vote.
Traditionally, the audience decides who faces the Celebrity Cyclone through votes. Venting on social media, one viewer exclaimed: “So they can win cyclone and there’s no vote for which two go? ? ? It’s feeling rigged.”
Another chimed in: “I think we’re all confused.”
A third shared: “I also don’t like how we don’t get to chose who’s in the cyclone? ? Like it’s normally who we all voted for and wanted there. And I know it’s a good camp, just seems a bit c**p.”, reports the Mirror.

One fan lamented: “Trying to keep the series fresh by introducing the golden ticket for the cyclone and immunity has actually spoilt the series for me this year… and it was so good before this! “.
Viewers have called for a public vote on “Cyclone should be down to public vote.”
