.......For HM's. What is the point of the HM's nominating anymore if those who are nominated are the ones who stay? HM's won't know what they are nominating for anymore!

I like the fact that 4 new HM's are going in, but this messes things up in a way that makes nominations meaningless,

in future how can the HM's make a proper informed decision if they are voting for one thing while the producers have changed the rules without telling them?

I think they should do away with nominations. Just let the public save each week. One with the least votes goes.

They could still have to nominate for other things. Like punishments or horrible tasks etc.

Nominations are meaningless when they keep nominating the best housemates.

Nominations have always been meaningless as BB manipulate the noms to suit their agenda, however they have never been so obvious about it before .

It's a twist Twists by their nature twist what was thought to be the actual course of events to a different course of events. Nominations have been messed with before in the name of a twist. It's just that this is a huge twist.

That's not the point though,the format has always been HM's nominate / public evict.
Stunts like this don't do anything apart from anger quite a large percentage of the viewers.

The twist must have really pissed off the BBBOTS crew, they spend half the show each night slagging Jade off - and now she's staying.

Completely pointless. We'll have had 3 evictions by Friday night, 6-7 housemates gone and only one who had been properly nominated ( Adjoa). It's an absolute joke.

I agree. They're rewarding negative behaviour too. The people who behave the worst get nominated and, thus saved. The people who dig deep and work as a team to win the shopping task end up being the ones who cause it to fail.

Personally, I like to see good behaviour rewarded, not punished

I kinda wish they'd do it like the US version.

I definitely prefer it that way, with HOH and no public vote.

Me too,However that would cause an even bigger uproar than this twist.

You don't know how many fans they have, they could have a lot more than you realise. This latest "twist" is an up yours to any of the fans of the HM's they have put up.

This is the stupidest twist ever. It really ruins the show for 50% of the viewers and pisses us off. You might say then that 50% of the viewers are happy then. If that's true, you have 50% happy, 50% pissed off.

If they left it alone we would have had the now 50% pissed off happy and the now happy 50% would be fine, even if slightly less excited, but at least not pissed off.

And you are correct noms are now utterly pointless as housemates no longer, for the rest of eternity, know what they are nominating for.

Ratings rise when the house is full of aggravating so and sos, and fall when it's full of nice people.

This twist (to save the housemates who attracted the most nominations) is likely to increase ratings therefore, so overall, it's good for the show, and exciting for the general audience.
