There are often twists that make that week's nomination process pointless, and with face-to-face votes, immunities, outside knowledge, and nominations being shown to the house, the process is seriously compromised in other ways as well.
How much viewers mind is unclear, but most of the complaints are usually from people who don't like the result, rather than from people who dislike such twists on principle.
I think you may be right about alienating viewers, though I'd put it differently. Viewers managed to remain unalienated by "to evict" voting throughout BB's most successful years, but 4 out of 6 going does rather change things.

The new ones will almost certainly feature at least one who makes it sound like she (it probably will be a woman) will be on a mission to get Jade, like Keeley was re Caoimhe in bb11 or the ex-HMs re Aisleyne in bb7.
