but Piper where is the fairness in that.

There isn't any. It leaves a nasty taste when people cry 'fix!' and start in with the ludicrous conspiracy theories when their favourite's on the wrong side of a daft twist, yet when the twist FAVOURS their favourite, they're over the f&^*%ng moon and tripping over themselves to say so. Like Segagame says, it's pure hypocrisy.

This series has been rubbish since Day 1.

Only in a pedantic sense, as they have demonstrated that they don't trust the public to vote in accordance with the result they're looking for and will bend over backwards to deny them the opportunity to do so.
No, in a very real sense. Viewers can vote on who goes, and that vote will be respected.

It was with Simon -- not now -- that BB violated "Why goes? You decide." But where were all the people complaining now, back then? Almost no one cared, because they didn't like Simon and the twist got rid of him.

Well they have. Every housemate in there has their fans, now those fans are going to lose their favourite because BB decided to save their biggest characters.

Look at Marlon and Danielle last year. They were evicted without a public vote. That is definitely betraying the fans. The fans of those 2 HM's didn't even get a chance to stop their favourite HM from being evicted. Imagine if that was Ashleigh and Christopher that had been evicted, this place would have gone nuts. People would be shouting fix and saying they are never watching the show again.
Yes, but that was without a public vote. Like Simon was evicted without a public vote this year. Which almost no one seemed to mind.

That is what i mean by the hypocrisy, i didn't agree with the way Simon left either, but people on here ( most people at least ) didn't care. If it was someone likeable they wouldn't have stopped complaining about it.

I don't even understand why people voted in it, they didn't even know what they were voting for .

More than Jade was up for eviction and who knows how the public perceives the rest, Aaron, for instance, is very annoying as is the truly awful taser faced Eileen.I am gutted I wanted Eileen out, she is a disgrace to any sane middle-aged, mature woman. and a walking bad advertisement for plastic surgery.
But ho-hum I well settle for the expulsion from my screen of the Bruce Forsythe chinny twins. Two right cows. It's funny that Jade is perceived as the vain one, up herself when you have the twins who spend every waking moment covered in slap, looking in the mirror and Eileen with a face full of surgery conceived through mindless vanity.
Well said!

We have to realise that bb has not messed with the eviction only with the nominations.

Every housemate will be vulnerable as the weeks go on.

BB has done something I never thought would happen:-

We the public , since day 1 , don't know what will happen next- surely that's a good thing.

👌 big brother.

You can't ruin a series, if the series is only a fortnight in.

Maybe let this one slide?

I would if it was just a one off, but it isn't. This crap has been going on since the first night.

I agree that there's hypocrisy, but there has been for years. Even many hypocrisy accusations are hypocritical.

Last year, even when Marlon and Danielle were evicted without a public vote, there wasn't all that much complaint about it. And I can remember back during bb10, people were almost begging BB for a twist that would let them vote out Lisa.

Anyway, while I have considerable sympathy for your "rant", but I don't know what can be done, and the reason Jade had so many nominations in the first place was indirectly because an earlier twist made her the luxury HM. The whole show is tasked and twisted almost to the point where it may as well be scripted.

But this is the first big one, at least in terms of noms.

I personally think Simon going the way he did was another big one. There are other things too, many of the tasks so far have been set up for one thing, to create conflict. Then there is outside info going into the house, face to face noms in the first week and Diary room noms being shown to the housemates.

It's weird really, the show says there can be no outside contact and i have heard throughout BB that the Diary room is supposed to be a safe place for the HM's but this isn't the case anymore. They break their own rules but when HM's do it, they get punished the show is a mess really

I was one of those who thought this series was heading in the right direction. A good cast of characters with plenty of potential and a clever theme in the Timebomb idea. It's a shame then that they've decided to chuck all that away in order to repeat the mistake they made last year in saving someone who the public would dearly like to see the back of.
Stop mucking around and let us vote out those who the house put up for eviction.
Anything else on at 10pm?

It's not really the same as last year though because no one was given a pass to the final. Plus the amount of things Helen said/did and she really didn't get punished and still had the pass to the final. I am all up with BB meddling when needs be and they really needed to do something. The series has been so boring atm and the ratings and low

This won't improve ratings though, things like this just push people away in the long run.

mmmm
i hear what you are saying but i just feel somehow short changed.
at the end of the daý, despite the survey last year, the c5 producers do not really like the bb audience. they want us to be hip, cool and under 25
most of us are not
it annoys them .


my problem is that after 2 weeks, i am struggling to engage with this year's hms. too samey, self obsessed and vain, too similar in age
they are what c5 want us to be
