Hi all, I have been meaning to do this for a while now so thought now's the time to get on with it, and that is a game which is quite popular on some other Eurovision forums and that is Big Brother. The game works on the same principle as Big Brother in that each round you vote to eliminate 2 songs from the game, in other Big Brother games generally at the end of the round the song or songs with the most votes usually get eliminated but I am going to add an extra element to this game.
So in every round you will vote for the 2 worst songs remaining, at the end of the voting window, the 4 or more songs with the most votes will go through to a new round where you will have the chance to vote to save the two best from the songs in the danger zone, the 2 songs which receive the least votes to save will then go on to be eliminated. The other 2 songs go back to the main group and we repeat.
At some point we will go down to just 1 song being eliminated, I would have liked to make it when we get to 10 remaining but we have a odd number of songs in 2014 so I think I will make it when we get down to 11 songs.
I'm not quite sure how long each voting window will remain open for, if we aim for 24 hours for each voting window for now and come tomorrow I will see how many votes we have and maybe adjust if needed. I decided to do 2014 as it was the most recent so it made the most sense, but if this is popular I am happy to host more years and if anyone else wishes to do so as well then that is cool, we can maybe have a best of competition at some point with all our winners from these contests.
Anyway, that is the talking over, in the next post I will put up a list of the 2014 songs with the rules once again listed out in short form, please don't vote until I have posted the song list (also my internet could be temperamental due to the weather so if you don't hear back from me then feel free to start voting
