BB holds all the cards, the public control nothing apart from adding money to C5 coffers....”

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.

IF I was still voting now this whole farce would probably persuade to stop even though the twist has saved my favourite HMs”

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.
