Big Brother UK fans confused about Trish's prize and Chanelle's punishment

In tonight's episode (November 2), Big Brother UK housemates played the Big Brother's Big Button task. The housemates had to press the buzzer on the sound of bell chimes and they were then given either a prize of a punishment by the Big Brother.

When Trish pushed the button she was offered a Prize in form of a house pet. She was asked which housemate is the 'easiest to lead' and she picked Tom - who ultimately became the 'Little Lost Sheep' of the house. While it appeared to a prize but it put Trish in the bit of 'villain narrative,' according to the fans.

Meanwhile, when Chanelle was picked for a punishment, she was handcuffed to the housemate - Yinrun - she has spoken to the least in the last 24 hours. Seeing how the prize resembled more like punishment and punishment felt more like a prize, they took to X and shared:

also why was chanelle’s punishment better than trish’s reward for themselves
Big brother is 100% racist. Chantelle’s punishment is being hang cuffed to Yinrun and Trish’s “treat” is sending someone to an outdoor cage for being a sheep? Agenda!!!!!
#BBUK are being so mean to Trish playing her as the angry black girl. Setting her up with a backhanded prize. Dickhead producers.
Still trying to figure out how Trish getting to put Tom in a cage was a prize. Like it did nothing but get her disrespected

This comes after Big Brother revealed the secret Halloween eviction task to the housemates, including the names of the housemates who exercised the power vote.

The revelation put both Trish and Noky in a 'negative narrative' for the other housemates. Many other fans added:

Another task for Trish where she has to be a target, at this point fuckkkk big brother I’m tired of this narrative they’re trying to paint
the production has absolutely ruined this season of #bbuk. Where is Trish/Noky’s reward for the Halloween task? Why were they thrown under the bus? Why is production constantly meddling re: Trish? Why can Tom/Paul steal half the pantry and get away with it? Mess.
I don’t like the position that Big Brother keeps putting Trish in! Making her the scapegoat for all these arguments!
