I can understand Jade and a small degree Joel, however I don't see the justification for taking the other 4 out of the eviction equation.

Eileen is dull and offers nothing and is not significant to storylines.

Nick offers very little as well.

Aaron a bit unhinged but not that significant either.

Cristian mopes around and just a younger version of Danny .

Are the ones saved seen as good housemates or did they just strike lucky because of saving Jade

I'm gutted Sarah could be going, she reminds me a bit of Kate Lawler.

I hope the voters actually use their brains and boot out the dullards.

I agree and really don't think Harriett, Amy & Sally, or Chloe deserve to go over any of them.

Eileen is far from dull, and has been involved in some of the more major "storylines" with her feud as such with Jade.

Nick again has been involved in some of the more major moments, and has the face-to-face nominations which cause friction.

Aaron is a large character, and will cause drama.

Cristian is nothing like Danny, and is a character that is now coming out of his shell a lot more and has the potential to be a very good housemate.

I can see why they'd want to keep all of them in there. Although, there should be no justification in saving any of them if they were the ones nominated for eviction in the first place. Two of my more favoured housemates are now safe because of this twist, and yet I'm not happy they've meddled with the nominations in the way they have.

I think if Jade wasn't in the mix they would have let the nominations stand.

I disagree. I wouldn't want four of the original nominees to be evicted. I don't like Eileen or Aaron and not too bothered about Joel but they add more to the house than those who are now up. I really like Nick and Cristian. They may not be the most exciting housemates in terms of having arguments etc but there is something about them. I think they are interesting characters.

Whereas out of the ones who are now up, I'm not particularly bothered about any of them.

I much prefer the side of the house that were up and now saved, Eileen is the only one from that side that I wish was on the other, I would swap her for The Twins and then hope Kieran was saved and maybe Sarah.

I like Jade, Aaron, Eileen and to an extent Nick and Joel, so I'm glad they are all safe. It's just a shame Sarah could go, she's the only one out of those up for eviction I'd want to stay. Will be glad to get rid of the twins and Harriet in one go. Hopefully they'll take Danny with them, but I can't see him going anywhere, unfortunately.

i find it very odd, i think the current 6 up are more interesting that the other 6, maybe not Keiran and Danny though, but all the men are usless this year,

I think the choice of who went up was based on the poll before the task.

In the pleasure or punishment poll Cristian, Nick and Joel would have come top, going from what I read on here. Jade, Eileen and Aaron would have been marmite...50/50.

Contrast that with the other group. Harriet, Jack and the twins would have topped the punishment list and Sarah, Danny, Chloe and Keiran would have hardly got a mention.

So should they have gone with a group of popular and marmite characters or a group of the unpopular and invisible. IMO it's a no brainer.

There was a reason they took that poll and it had nothing to do with the shopping task. For instance Jack and Harriet didn't get a single punishing task, and Joel and Christian didn't get anything to do at all. Of course I could be completely wrong.
