Tai arrives as a freeloader on Day 21 and is given a tour. The cast registers him as a fresh outsider but his time in the show is short.
Tai is walked in late on Day 21 as a new freeloader. His introductions on the night of arrival establish him as a quiet, observational disruptor in contrast with Oliver's louder Day-23 entrance.
Day 22 starts with IQ tests — Tayleigh highest, Trish lowest. An audience pays for a forced dinner-date between Jimmy and Abi. Tayleigh asks Jimmy to "have his associates take Abi out." The day's energy primes the mallet incident later that night.
Production runs a multi-stage IQ challenge culminating in a paid dinner-date. Trish wins, briefly stabilizing her standing on a day that otherwise tilts hard against her thanks to Jimmy's escalations.
Jimmy throws Abi's bag out the window onto the snow. Trish and Abi smash an ashtray Jimmy brought to the show. Tayleigh hides Jimmy's toy phone. The escalation chain runs from afternoon to mallet by night.
Jimmy escalates after a series of confrontations with Abi (Britney): he throws her bag out the window, smashes an ashtray, and at the worst moment throws a mallet in her direction. The escalation is what production cites when ejecting him later in the day.
Oliver enters as a freeloader the same day Tayleigh punches Trish. He's quickly slapped by TJ in a bell-fight, and the audience starts a TTS campaign keeping him sleep-deprived.
Oliver is walked in mid-Day-23 and within hours rings the bell on multiple cast members over chips and social slights. His arrival pivots the back-half social geometry: Oliver and Frank become the recurring antagonist tier, and Tai's quieter style fades by comparison.
Vance finds Tai in the kitchen and tells him he's been "fired" from the show — Tai actually had outside obligations and chose to leave. He tells the cast goodbye and walks out, keeping Day 26 a heavy-cast-loss day.
