There were 5 people up on Friday just like tonight and they announced the top 2 then ... but tonight only the top 1

And as the voting has closed it's not like they want to get more money by having more people still to vote for (whereas on Friday they re-opened the voting after the first 2 were saved) so what's the deal?

I think they're up to something

They want the housemates to think Lauren is the most popular in the house, hence no more nominations for her and into the final(and to stop her going up for eviction again as she acts like a spoilt brat when that happens and it does not look good for the chosen one), ohhh im so cynical when it comes to BB, maybe as i have watched the manipulation by the producers for years

So that lots and lots and lots of people would all start exactly the same threads asking why.

I can almost guarantee Courtney was 2nd most saved

Carol charlotte, courteny and lauren are who the producers want for the final. Why do they love the American celebs? Do they have cbb in the states? If so do the brits get in there?

Yes, and she will moan that she wants to go home. I hope she walks, I find her a spoilt brat.

I can only guess they wanted Lauren to know she's favourite to boost her confidence.

I have a feeling some of the production staff are on work experience.

I like Courtney, but there is no proof she was second in the vote tonight.

I don't know, going live to the house just seemed incredibly pointless to be honest, why not just get to the point ?

alas we will never know, because BB don't tell us anything..

I know. It would have been nice to know who was second with the most votes, but channel 5 went and spoiled it tonight.

She probably is most popular tbh. Lauren has this series in the bag I reckon.

I think that too

No, it's a completely different format in the US.

I've been wondering myself about all this. Here's my take:
