It's probably what CH5 wanted. Twitter has been very busy in the last 4 hrs (much more than usual) meaning people are talking about the show. Whether it's bad or good. Don't think CH5 care.
It will be interesting whether the ratings increase, decrease or stay the same.

Ratings fell to 800k including +1.They climbed back to 1m on Tuesday night b though.
BB holds all the cards, the public control nothing apart from adding money to C5 coffers....
It's crazy they could have had huge promotion with this, but as it is most people will continue to watch BGT and Corrie like they have all week and catch up with BB at the weekend.
It's pure desperation. C5 have committed a large chunk of their scheduling to BB, so it's unlikely they'll cancel it mid-series. All they've got left up their sleeve is to throw the kitchen sink at it in the form of ridiculously cynical meddling and hope it at least stems the drop off in viewership.
I think it'll ultimately be counter-productive, though. There's only so many times you can take the piss out of the viewers before they stop giving you the opportunity to.
FUBAR.
Succès de scandale! ;-)
In the long run it may push more people away, but as of now, the talk of BB is probably over double than it was in the first few days.
It's good to drive awareness, but it's like when they put Pamela Anderson in the BB12 house - a bit splash stunt that isn't going to drive new viewers.
I almost feel like they didn't go far enough if they were actually going for shocking. Put everyone up and eliminate half the house in a vote to save if you really want to cause absolute chaos.
In this day and age does this really matter, just press the record button or access them with On Demand/Catch Up? I try and record pretty much everything I want to see, so that I don't have to go through the tedium of watching the ads every 12 mins.
I dont think I will bother to watch all the HL shows now, I think I will dip in and out when theres nothing else to watch orwatch something I recorded earlier
Well I don't watch either of those progammes, so it's ok for me. I also always record BB just in case I am doing other things and like someone else has mentioned there is always catch up, plus BB is repeated during the day for those who miss it.
Exactly!
I am enjoying the production. The tasks are demanding and the twist is great.
I certainly think it is a fix to an extent. They probably decided before that start that this year they where going to try get rid of some dead wood early and bring in fresh people and where waiting till they could engineer iy so they could ditch the ones they want.
They certainly didn't want to lose 4 of the original 6 up and doubt they care about losing any of those up now besides maybe Harriott.
also..new housemate should happen early in a series. In a way it shame they couldn't bring in more..perhaps an number equal to those i there already.
on the down side it kinda ruins the whole idea of nomination and (personally i hate to see jade given a chance to suck in 4 new people) on the upside it certainly should mix things up which very few of their twist ever manage to do
The last time I can remember voting was back in BB12
IF I was still voting now this whole farce would probably persuade to stop even though the twist has saved my favourite HMs
