They don't really mean very much and they tend to just drop them anyway.

Last night Rylan very badly was somehow trying to make a link between the timebomb wording and how that coralated between four in and four out

It is fairly ridiculous, this is just how the show has been run for years. It's not like there is a real theme going on, they just put a different label on it each year.

Secrets and Lies as a one off was fantastic and should have been the only one to have a theme. After people not liking Power Trip, I'm shocked they didn't go back to a non themed BB.

My sister was watching it a couple of days ago and turned to me and said "what's with this timebomb business?. I don't get it". I reckon when people see the show getting promo with a different title, they don't like it. Just have it as Big Brother, and that's it. Power Trip/Timebomb makes it look like a side show and not the actual show.

I know it's pointless although I guess secrets &....was easier to adhere to for producers but 'time bomb' What does it even mean??...daft

Nothing, just a cover name for allowing them to manipulate the outcomes.

The timebombs allow the producers to change anything and do anything they like, without any fairness or justice or public support.

They should call the next series 'Manipulation and Incompetence', I think everyone would get it then.

If the producers can get rid of some of the deadwood instead of the characters then I agree with playing around with the rules. Timebomb is a bit of a misnomer, though.

Producers want to save Jade and Aaron - TIMEBOMB time
Producers want to give their fave immunity - TIMEBOMB
Producers want to change the nominations - TIMEBOMB

I stopped voting after Helen last year and I haven't voted this year and nor will I. If the public don't decide then I won't waste my cash

It was the same with the Fairytale theme last time.
Nice theme idents and logo to show between adverts, but I was wondering, are they actually going to make use of this theme or what?

The themes just seem to be an excuse to give work to graphic designers looking to create some art designs.

Has it even been explained what a 'timebomb' actually is?
