They gave out a crap 'task' for the live show.

They have removed the choice of who goes (couldve been all of them up for eviction)

They have again protected Jade (so that public opinion dies down)

They have prevented us from seeing the nomination process.

They have removed all guilt from the HM's about voting each other out.

BB have screwed us this week, so screw them, I'm not voting for anyone.

Nice.

Spot on there - I am really disappointed - look forward to a boring week folks!!!:'(

...Well what an anti-climax the task was!

After all the hype and build up...
"The Housemates are gonna have to make their toughest decision yet"....and
"They're gonna have to make a huge scarifice"....
The housemates seemed relieved that the nomination process had been taken away from them, not upset that they had made a huge sacrifice!

And then Kate and PJ almost seemed happy to be up for eviction!!

And apart from Alex being held in the diary room for 10 mins, the whole "Tough Decision" took about 2 minutes to be decided!!!

And, does anyone know what the *new* room is for yet?

I agree ! What a total anti- climax.The HMs toughest decision yet my foot. Like you I will not take part in this particular vote !

I'm pi**ed off too. Been on holiday for a week so miss an exciting week and now come back to what could possibly be the dullest week in bb (EVER!)

Where was the task ??????
I turned over to Ch4 at 10pm, sat with baited breath for a well thought out & devious BB task.
What did I see ? The UK getting shafted ..... BIG time !

Whoever is running BB is running it straight into our rusty bullet holes !
BB3 has been a complete farce from the beginning, How the hell can they run a program with a producer that would excel as a clown in copperfields circus ?!

I wonder if we can text, VOTE PRODUCER !?

It would've been better if they'd set a task that meant that the losers were excluded from nominating on Monday, while the winners could still nominate. They may hate nominations (except PJ), but we all saw Jade's reaction when she was excluded while others could nominate her!

At least then we'd still get the anticipation of who's up for eviction and who nominated who, and Jade wouldn't be able to nominate as the chances of her passing a task are pretty slim!

I was a few minutes late getting to see the program, but thought it would be such a 'terrible sacrifice' and 'tough decision' that I couldn't have missed that much in such a short time. It took me more than half an hour trying to figure out what had happened so fast!

Drawing lots is NOT a good decision making process, never mind a tough one. Since they have to give reasons each week for nominating, why on earth were they not forced to do the same for this task?

My impression of the production team from 'How not to get on BB' was of a bunch of silly drips and I was right.

I don't think the anit-climactic nature of the task is entirely down to the producers. Had they forbidden the HM's from selecting the nominees by lot, and forced them to make a conscious choice, it could have been the most intense seven minutes of television BB has ever seen. There could have been noble self sacrifice, cowardly avoidance (hallo Tim!) and an all-out row as to who was more deserving to stay rather than go. As it was we got all the excitement of the FA cup first round draw.

It could have been awesome, but it was the way in which the HM's conducted the task that let it down, not that task itself.

Having said that, given that so much else of what has gone on in the house this year has been almost by random selection (Basketballs and musical chairs) it might be expected that the HM's choose to continue in that vein.

It's probably a prayer room so Jonny can spend his final days praying that, "Me Mam and Dad an our Joanna don't have to travel down again until I win it!"

Have they!!!!! Bloody hell they musthave missed ME out - I didn't feel anything!!!! Typical - the whole thread gets screwed and I miss out Humph.

Agree they could have been a bit nastier though - like an immediate eviction task between POJ and Kate and the loser gets evicted immediately - PLUS keep the HM nominantions.

Maybe they have a plan that will delight us all - I doubt it, but maybe

MGOM
Pissed off cos he aint got digital to watch E4 or ITV2 to get the Tour de France

But they didn't forbid them from doing that, which does make the whole fiasco entirely the fault of the producers.

BB has decided the HM's are not pampered enough.
It's the servants quarters for the butler, the housemaid and the cook to live in.

Perhaps the Producers should take the walk of shame...

I'll be there in the crowd - Booing.

If anyone is going next week though - any chance of a

"...The Producers are Muppets..."
"...Lets have a DECENT task for once..."
or
"...Producers, You should be Evicted from the BB House..."

Poster for Davina to point to.

Were they not told in envelope 1, noone can leave the couch?!! yet nothing was said when Tim got up. I actually enjoyed it, particularly the look on Jonny's face when he thought Alex had stitched him up......chalk white face and sheer panic....I've never seen anyone more disappointed to see their family!! LOL

However crappy the task was, VOTE OUT PJ!

KATE TO WIN!

That is a good point. GIVE HIM A STRIKE!!! If they had not had access to paper etc then they would have to have had the discussion that led to a selection. Tim behaves like the obnoxious arrogant school kid we all knew who didn't mind gobbing back to teacher to score points with his mates, but kinda never really had any!

Why don't they put the task details up on the Plasma Screen's?

This would avoid the paper, and would control what the housemates saw, and at what time.

I'm no PJ fan, BUT DON'T VOTE!!! Let BB and C4 feel the consequences for such a pathetic show! Hope this message goes out loud and clear this week and C4 realise that BB viewers are angry!!!!

Waste of time this week, call that a sacrifice!
Sacrificed our viewing for the nomination day, not much point watching this week as PJ is leaving

I thought the whole point of the show was to let us {THE PUBLIC} decide who we wanted to go or stay. Cancelling the nominations has taken that choice away. By voting Adele last week I thought that Jade would be a definite this week.
What is going on ?
This week is going to be really boring as there is no H.M nomination to look forward to !

On BBLB today Dermot started by saying "The divide is down....for now, The nominations are cancelled....for now".

Is this a cynical attempt by the producers to make us think somethings going to happen (i.e. a sting in the tail after all) thus getting us all watching and pushing up the ratings?

When I think of all the theories people here had on what this sacrifice could be, it makes me so angry that BB have wasted such an opportunity for excitement and scandal by inventing the dullest task possible, actually _extracting_ action from the show by depriving us of the major highlights of the week twice over - hugely disappointing 'task' which required no effort on the behalf of the housemates and no nominations next week!


Were they stupid enough to think that the housemates wold NOMINATE two people rather than use a lottery system? Couldn't they envision how DULL it would be? What a complete and utter f*ck up; there is no excuse for this. Had Jade been running the show, she couldn't have come up with something less inspired. Shame on you BB.

Can Big Brother 3 get any worse than this , I dread to think
what is going to happen next.

As much as people say don't vote, c4 know there will always be people who will.

There is always that thing playing in the back of your mind, if you don't vote, then the person you like might be voted out, and you wouldn't want that to happen.

I admit though the task was 100% pants!
