Love it. I was getting so bored with this show. This will keep me watching for a while longer. Hopefully they'll bring some interesting characters.

Crap twist.. Smacks of desperation... Probably thought up in the last 24 hours
I think people will initially whinge but, the meddling is wearing dangerously thin now. I haven't voted for for past few years and I reckon more and more will follow suit.

BB holds all the cards, the public control nothing apart from adding money to C5 coffers....
I suspect this will backfire and lose maybe another 100k viewers potentially. This series is over it will not be saved may not even complete its run. I wonder what the final too low viewing figures to bother level is. With only 9 hms left they could end it in 3 weeks or so if needed.
It's pure desperation. C5 have committed a large chunk of their scheduling to BB, so it's unlikely they'll cancel it mid-series. All they've got left up their sleeve is to throw the kitchen sink at it in the form of ridiculously cynical meddling and hope it at least stems the drop off in viewership.

I think it'll ultimately be counter-productive, though. There's only so many times you can take the piss out of the viewers before they stop giving you the opportunity to.

FUBAR.
It might get a lot of people talking but I just checked out Twitter and the reaction has been universally negative. If anything, it will turn people off the show.
All up and a vote to save would have got rid of the deadwood

I dont think I will bother to watch all the HL shows now, I think I will dip in and out when theres nothing else to watch orwatch something I recorded earlier
The last time I can remember voting was back in BB12

IF I was still voting now this whole farce would probably persuade to stop even though the twist has saved my favourite HMs
It's so obvious it took them a couple of days to think up what the twist would be. On the day nominations were revealed they gave Jack the option to save a housemate which he didn't. This shows they hadn't came up with a twist yet. What would have happened if Jack chose to save one of them? If he'd chose Jade there would be no twist at all as the producers would have got what they wanted.
Agree with the above,if they have such good characters in the wings why didn't they put them in already?? It's two weeks in...i dont think anyone can even seriously be called deadwood yet...there hasn't been enough time..Its confirmation that the selection process is that shaky there not even confident in thier own choices,deadwood if any, is the likes of Danny Chloe,maybe my fave Kieran even..but at least 2 of them will end up staying..

I won't be voting from now on..whats the point? At this point I won't watch much either...what am I watching for? So hms can avoid nomination and still be chucked out? Where's the game in that?
Eff the ratings,hope the show tanks now.

You have absolutely no proof that what you believe is true. We will never know the truth.

It's a game show without rules. Anything can happen. And no one is forced to watch.

I am enjoying it.

It does seem like that, though I think as soon as the they knew who were nominated they would've been thinking of a way to change things. Given Jack had already used one save on someone else I think it was always unlikely he'd use another.

Of course it does (seem like that) there was no point in Jack 'saving' anyone it seems,was that to be yet another part of the twist?...if so why give jack the heads up,? Wouldn't that have been a good twist,Jack in firing line? Oh soz,they want to keep him...notice its clearly them keeping people not the hms,not.The viewers...it's totally what the producers want now..all veils have been lifted.

I'm not a fan of the twist, I've really been enjoying watching these housemates gradually get to know each other, personalities slowly come out and it felt like an early series of BB. I think by getting rid of four they are jumping the shark a little, it makes BB look desperate which is never a good message to give out. I think the twist is going to get rid of some good characters and seems a bit pointless.

However as people have said it has got people talking and some people on the forum seem to love it. Maybe this is the final sign that BB is not the BB of old and is now a completely different show where people can leave without a public vote and nominations dont really count.

Its a shame as thats not the programme I love, but it seems like others do and maybe thats the best audience for them to target which means they lose some original fans.

Well put,..you're right it's not the show we love and probs hasn't been for some time,I stuck with it as I love this place,but even that has gone down the pan imo,seems to be a lot more vindictive insecure posters just out for the pretty girls blood from day one regardless of how they behave,terms like vibes and suspicions without any substance taking the place of good debate...while the male hms get away with anything as long as they are good to look at...it's got gradually worse to the point we are at today..people are openly asking 'what has such and such done wrong'..and the answers are completely laughable...'they wanted thier own eggs'..

Throw a load of beautiful girls in watch this forum rip em apart.. Pathetic.
