I think bb should ensure silence whilst Nick nominating.
How is it fair with Harriet mouthing off possibly influencing Nick to change his mind About what she perceives is a cop out and not a valid nomination.

Who is she to say he is copping out?
Nick could hate Aaron but too scared to say face to face.

Same with Chloe arguing with Nick.

If people are allowed to mouth off then Nick will go for easy targets or who he perceives is an acceptable nomination by the group.

This is influencing his future nominations

This is entertainment not a democratic process. Nick will cope with it just fine, he won't be intimidated he's the manliest man in there.

It's bollocks because the reasons for their nominations should be acceptable as well. So far, it's been what past BB would never have accepted. Eh tactical votes or she is boring etc.

bb shouldn't have accepted nick's reasons in the first place. nominating aaron because nobody else will nominate him? how is that valid?

I think it was because bb couldn't resist the shock and fallout when they announce the results tomorrow, they will be trying to work out which housemates nominated Aarron and the ones that did will be feeling very uncomfortable, personally I can't wait for Aarrons tearful meltdown it will be very interesting, although I do feel sorry for Nick as I believe his reasons for nominating him.

This having to nominate face to face by Nick is a farce (so far) anyway. Both rounds of nominations have been public affairs so far. The first was ALL face to face and the latest was watched on the screen. So Nick's time bomb is not really just his (so far anyway)

Harriet would arguing with the mirror.

But notwithstanding that it never ceases to amazed me that all of them are happy to nominated others but don't seem to think it does not apply to them and that they should not be nominated.

The results were announced to the house yesterday and not only that the actual nominations themeselves were shown on the plasma screen

They definitely should NOT be allowed to argue with Nick. These are his nominations, not a debate. He's as entitled to them as anyone else is entitled to theirs.

It really annoyed me that Chloe confronted Nick last night. He is clearly uncomfortable whilst nominating face to face each week, and to have housemates sounding off at him while he does it seems very unfair.
Harriet getting involved was completely unnecessary too, really dislike her at the minute.

Nobody else has their nominations interrupted or scrutinized (unless BB chooses to air them), the housemates should understand that it's a process they ALL go through and let him have the same treatment they have, regardless of it being face to face or not.

Well said .

I feel that the interruption from Chloe says more about her than Nick.

Of course it's valid. It's a tactical vote. It's been done in previous series.

It is a bit of a cop out from Nick nominating in that way, but if I had to nominate face to face I would try and restrict the hostility towards me, particularly at this early stage. Nick's personality isn't as confident as some of the others, he's still finding his feet in there so I think his reasons were valid.

I recall Anna Nolan nominating someone 'for no other reason than that I have to pick a second person'.

I think a better way of having Nick nominate would be to have him do it in the DR but it be shown to the housemates every week. That way they might get a better response from him with regard to why and who he nominates, plus they wouldn't be able to give him hassle until after the process.

On the other hand, it may do wonders for his confidence to have to do this every week. I will be interested, if he makes it to the end, to see if he leaves the same person he came in as (not meaning I think he's fake, I mean if he grows as a person - to be all woowoo for a minute )

Even when BB shows the others noms on the screen afterwards they still got to say their whole bit without being interrupted first. Chloe went way down in my estimation after that spat and Harriet was already low down so I expected it from her gobby mouth.

Of course he should be allowed to nominate in silence but that is never gonna happen!

I agree.......where was big brother ?????

Hi Barracute, still got cds ? So many years have gone by, one of the best BB's (BB7) ever in my opinion.

Hi, yep still got them and still eternally grateful! You don't need to tell me how good BB7 was lol

Also, when nominations were under way, and it was just before Nick was due to give his nominations, Jade was with him on the sofa trying to influence him on who to nominate even at that crucial point.

Good for Nick though, because he wasn't having any of it.
