No worries. I have no problems with others seeing things different from me.
It's never been a fair game the UK team always had an extra member, for instance both Chloe and Stevie got letters, surely only one should have. And Janice has never played for her team. So UK started 2 up. The voters are overwhelmingly British so that's another way it's unfair.

The theme doesn't bother me anymore than all the themes do. But it's not a fair game and never has been. Why are the larger UK team allowed to field their entire team? Surely team contests require an equal number of players on each team... Well in the US it does, no games here are fixed in this manner. Like in survivor when one team has more players some sit out to keep the teams even.

That people see no issue with the lack of parity perhaps indicates it's a societal problem. I don't know. win at all costs...
I think the British public will vote for who they like the best....Gary was American and he was my favourite.

Exactly it's a dumb idea, the only way it would have worked is in a more BB USA style comp where housemates evict you instead of the public.
No way would BBUK takeaway the public vote, they need the revenue. BBUS has millions watching so they get loads from advertisers. Still Janice has always been on team UK and they put in 1 more on the UKside to start with...

Good points on some of the unfairness this year and i agree that survivor do the teams better by keeping them even.

It will effect the floaters Natasha could win this now.
I won't mind Natasha winning, she is my winner, if not James or even Janice will be good.

Remember when Faye nominated Aaron in BB12 FOUR TIMES when they were together in the house. They are sill together now. To be fair, the first time was the first week when they weren't together. The last time was the nail in the coffin.

That's how I feel with James at the moment, with Faye, I put my head in my hand and just shrugged.

If Aaron got over it, Austin surely can. But Faye got massacred for it too, she was in the Top 3 in polls/betting before she nominated him but then fell out of popularity.

Males are often excused. No idea why.

Are they? To me looking online, James has been getting massacred for his decision just like Faye did.

Yep on TiBB, but it seems like a guess. But if he is up, surely he got at least one nom.

Bobby, Natasha, Sherrie, Stevie and Chloe wouldn't have nommed him, so Jenna maybe and possibly Austin. Which makes this whole "James is snake" thing false.

So I hope he is up with Jenna and Austin nomming him because then they will look as bad.

You were definitely one of her most passionate fans, I hope she at least follows you on twitter or facebook (if you use social media) after all your hard work.

There's no way Austin has nominated James going by his reaction.

Posters been a member of TiBB for a few years and is not a troll, so may have some truth in this.

If he is up, it's probably the "1 nom and you're up" rule as it's a double, which surely means Jenna nominated him. I still don't think Austin did because Austin seemed to have been too upset and James has been feeling bad.

Clovie, Janice, Natasha, Sherrie or Bobby wouldn't have nommed him, so the only options are Jenna and maybe Austin.

That's what I'm thinking. If James is up, I can assume it's the 1 vote thing and Jenna nominated him.

Hmm if she has nominated him then i don't get why she got upset.
