Big Brother: Ari Kimber is EVICTED from the house one day before the grand final

Ari Kimber has been evicted from the Big Brother house, just one day before the show’s grand finale.

The 22-year-old was left ‘devastated’ on Monday night’s emotion-filled episode, after he was voted out in the eleventh hour by his fellow housemate Marley Biyendolo.

After hearing his name called out by host Sonia Kruger, a visibly upset Ari said: ‘I am absolutely heartbroken that I’ve gone tonight. I feel I’ve stumbled at the last hurdle.

‘Winning was everything to me, I’m such a competitive person and if I don’t win something I feel like a complete failure.

‘I am absolutely gutted. I’m proud of myself. I wasn’t afraid to play risky games, and I won four challenges… I’m so devastated.’

Marley said he had to ‘go with his heart’ when choosing to eliminate Ari, therefore saving Sarah Jane Adams and Christina Podolyan.

As the final three celebrated with a glass of Champagne in the garden, Ari watched on from his car as he headed home.

‘That should be me!’ he said. ‘I just want to cry.’

They trio are competing for the $250,000 cash prize, after spending more than 60 days in the Big Brother house.

Channel Seven reported on Sunday that while the show was supposed to be filmed in front of a large studio audience, that has since changed due to the ongoing pandemic.

Out of the final three, one contender is the clear favourite to win it all according to multiple betting websites.

As of Monday morning, both Sportsbet and TAB had 26-year-old basketballer Marley as the short-odds favourite to walk away with the cash prize.

Sportsbet had the Melburnian at $1.40 to be the last man standing in the house, with Christina lagging behind at $3.00.

Sarah Jane is at long odds to win, sitting at $11.

Big Brother’s finale will air Tuesday, June 29 at 7:30pm on Seven
