What is the point in any housemate trying?
If stupid twists like this are coming in all over the place then what is the point in any housemate even trying to play by the rules, play the game, work as a team etc?
The whole point is to go in the house and not get yourself nominated... Now the producers just choose who is up so what's the point in any of it? If you know the producers are going to choose the "most entertaining" then they are all going to start playing up to the camera to stay in rather than have any REAL dynamics within the group - and if that's the case, why bother, we might as well go to a circus. |

Exactly. Might as well do what you want.. you maybe up you may not. Break all the rules Big Brother will decide... I'm sick of the word "twist"... Meaningless now.... OOOH Twist..... Twist on day 1, twist every other frickin' day.... |

Come on people! Do we really want to watch the HM's trying not to be nominated? Sounds really dull to me.

Is it just me who would like to see the housemates revolt? refuse to nominate or even better just all get up and walk out the firedoor as soon as the live show goes out on Friday, would love to see the panick it causes.

The couple most nominated are usually the one the public would vote for anyway... So they follow...

No, the whole point is to go in the house and not get yourself evicted. Ultimately, you only have to ingratiate yourself with the voting public. Winning tasks might buy you an easier ride, and getting along with others certainly will, but they're not the be all and end all. How you react to a changing environment is how you're judged in there. Adversity can be your ally and all that.
If the game was not to get evicted, you would go about it by doing your best not to get nommed. So in the case of the housemates who are up now, they should have earned another week. But now nobody knows how to behave, how not to behave, who to nominate or why they should nominate, or what they are nominating for... |

The way to win the show is to not try. Sam slept his way to victory a few years back.
Katie Price phoned in her CBB win this year. A more unengaged housemate you will never see. |

Only the public get to choose who is evicted. As for not knowing how to behave, or how not to behave, since when did that depend on your circumstances? Act like a tool and you'll end up getting evicted. If you're a decent person and an entertaining HM you're in with a chance.

That is until the producers decide to set up a quad eviction in week 2 and pretty much end your chances of staying, decent person or not.

Here is a revolutionary idea, just be yourself!
Perhaps the uncertainty created by twists and the threat of twists will get some HMs to do precisely that. |

![]() I'm loving the twist because it gives everyone a chance to get rid of the HMs who try & fly under the radar. Yes the producs are pulling the strings, but that's to create a more watchable show (I hope). If this borefest continues I shall be switching off completely. Already not watching every highlights show & I normally view all the nightly episodes. |

Additionally the twins would have likely been up if BB hadn't played Nick and Jade conversation into the house. |

BB has evolved every year since it started. Old BB for me was series 1-4 & I'd be bored to tears watching that now. Reality TV has created a genre for those who want fame to try & seek it so how can we go backwards? Not saying I like those kind of people, however it is what it is.

It depends on what you mean by 'trying'.
If you mean why should housemates bother 'trying' to not get nominated, then in some respects the twist would be a good thing. I don't see what value there is to watch people trying to avoid being nominated. |
