One twist too many?

I like the twists this week, but I feel that when Davina has to explain the lies and then the twist to the housemates, there will be too much information to take in, that the impact of BB's deception will be lost.
A far better scenario would have been to stick with the two lies, and for Davina to simply say "The 7th housemate to be evicted is............(whoever it is)" and then look at the utter shock as that person had no clue they were even up.

You listening Endemol - GBP should decide
Well there is that as well, but I was just focusing on the impact of Friday's eviction show. As other threads suggest, the show could be a shambles because of all the confusion and chaos of Davina firstly explaining the lies and the twists; followed by the quick decision of the HM's to make their eviction choice.
yes you're right - how long did it take for a lot of viewers to completely understand it! Even Dermot had trouble
It would be much more impactive on eviction night to tell the second lie first, and then explain the reason that the other six are up instead, is as a result of the first lie.
Exactly! Surely that would be more shocking? Honestly, I could pick better producers off this forum than Endemol's lot.
In fact, does anyone know if there are any BB fans working with/as producers?
Edit - Thinking about this scenario, I can just see Kemal, Anthony and Craig in their eviction outfits, psyching themselves for the audience and Davina, and the person who would be leaving in their normal clothes.
Then Davina's announcement and all of the housemates be shocked :eek: - Of course, it would be even better if they had no time to get changed, if they only had a minute before being evicted.
Maybe there will be a revelation a bit earlier?
Dont know if i explained it well but i think its a good idea.
At 9.25 Davina says one of the 3 (Kemal, Anthony, Craig) is to be evicted at 10.
At 10 Davina says that was one last lie, and then reveals the real evictee and gives them one minute to say goodbyes.
Then half an hour later Davina comes back on and tells them that there will be a double eviction and the HM's that didnt nominate were up for eviction as well and then announce that e.g Orla is evicted
All Hm's think that Kemal and Orl are gone, but surprise kemal is back a few hours later!!!
Good idea - let him watch the live feed with their reactions to him leaving!
Making an instant decision like that could find them making the wrong decision which they may live to regret. The outcome of this scenario could go either way......either it's going to make for good viewing or it could be a disaster, who knows.
It's gone from "who goes, you decide"
to "who faces the housemates vote, you decide"
This emphasises the point that this one twist has had too much of am impact on the show as a whole.
Having said this I'm looking forward to the HM's reaction.
I agree...people like Craig, Derek & Science have a rough idea, having experienced the eviction process before but Makosi & Vanessa haven't a clue...they will get quite a shock when they realise they're not as popular as they think.
I can't see any reason why they can't nominate in the Diary room in secret...I agree if that they all have to nominate openly, Makosi will stay but going into the security of the Diary room puts a different perspective on things, (I was shocked to see Kemal nom Makosi), he wouldn't have done that in the open.
Many people thought Max was Endemols winner but we were wrong, the same fate awaits Makosi, she's not guaranteed immunity by the powers that be....we might have them wrong again.
