Stop Press: Nominations Plot Exposed
Day 18, 17:50



Derek, Roberto and Craig have not been allowed to nominate today after Big Brother decided they had tried to influence voting.

Their names were skipped over while the rest of the group nominated as usual. Only when the last nominations had been made were they given an explanation.

Informing them that a fundamental rule had been broken, Big Brother then turned the Housemates' attention to the plasma screen in the lounge.

What appeared on the screen was a bitching session between the guilty trio earlier this afternoon where they decided Saskia was using sneaky tactics and should be given the push.



End of!Saskia calmly nodded as the treacherous scene unfolded, but her admirer Maxwell couldn't hold back. "You ********** w******!" he blasted.

Feeling Craig's part in the backstabbing had been minor, Maxwell directed his fury at Roberto and Derek. "Round of applause Del Boy and Roberto," he sniped. "You think you're above everyone!"

Meanwhile Saskia was trying to stay calm. "I'm cool as a cucumber," she shrugged. "I don't expect people to like me, let's just see who wins. End of."

"If you don't like the process you shouldn't have come in. I'm entitled to my views," drawled Derek, completely uninterested by the row.

"Get a life," spat an increasingly agitated Saskia who then stormed out.

You should have remembered boys, Big Brother is always watching.

Looks like this one could rumble on and on. Come back soon to find out things develop...

Big Brother have done the right thing
Those three havn't been alowed to nominate and hopefully all three of them are up for eviction anyway.

oh my god glad bb has done that though

I am just amazed at how hot BB is being on this.

In BB1 Nick was chucked out for plotting

In BB2 and since it seemed to go unpunished

I don't think it is a great idea to keep showing things which the housemates are saying to each other.

Look what happened with Emma and Victor last year.



It will all end in tears.

I also fear we will end up with a lack lustre, safe winner as a result of it all.

I agree in one way but I think BB have to liven up this shoddy edition of a BB with something .....

They might as well have selected a bunch of seals...

I think they should have put them three up for eviction then they wouldn't be smiling

Spot on Bethan spot on.....

i don't think that would be such a good idea as Big Brother have already scrapped the nominations on the last two weeks.

Yeah he's scrapping the nominations but no-one really cares otherwise they would stop trying to influence them.

I think if they put them up for eviction then the housemates will start to realise that they have to obey the rules

i wish they had shown that footage before the other housemates nominated which would likely put at least two of those three up anyway

I'm not. People always bi**h about one another. Why should that have been any different?

This is just an example of how BB changes the rules as it suits them. I always thought that there was to be no contact with the outside world. But over the years we have had messages from home, telephone calls and now listening to the crowd's reaction to housemates names.

What happened to three strikes and you are out. Of course, sorry how could I forget, we've got the naughty seat havent we? That is a real punishment.

BB has got to come down hard on this lot. You could basically pick any of them and say that at some time or other the subject of nominations has been talked about by all them, maybe not as blatently but still spoken about.

The problem with showing these examples of what has been said is that it is stirring up trouble. We have already had constant arguments - if they are not careful they could end up with something much worse than the fight night of last year.

Or is it to influence who is going to win this year? I can see a lot of complaining about editing again.

Bitching is second nature to this lot.

They dont need BB to put them up for nomination cos it is obvious to me now that Derek and Roberto will be nominated by the rest of them. Stillwe shall see.

Does Saskia even know that Max fancies her. If she dosen't she is blind!!!

The only way they are going to stop this kind of thing happening again is to be tough on the offenders so either the threat of automatic eviction or the offenders being put up for eviction.I'm sure they will get the message eventually.

I'm not sure what Big Brother is playing at here. Vanessa did the same thing last week and the video of her discussing nominations was not shown to all the other housemates.

Nor was she singled out in any way. It seems to me that they are trying to stir things up in the house by showing them the video.

Remember this whole thing probably wouldn't have happened if they hadn't deliberately let the housemates hear who got booed and cheered last Friday. That is what Craig, Derek and Roberto were talking about in the clip that is on the Channel 4 site now.

I hope Derek is one of them up for the public vote.

Don't see what they have against Saskia anyway.

She knows that he fancys her but i think shes just seeing how long she can tease him for

i think out of those three, the public will vote out Roberto first. By my judgement, he got the most boos on friday out of the three of those *******ys.

I agree busy bee.

Why is BB punishing the only interesting characters on the show!!!!! Have the producers got a bet on which demograph will win this year! a) Annoying unfunny, breast obsessed, cockney pr*ck or B) Annoying, ufunny, breast obsessed footballers wife wannabe or C) Geordie prank monkey.

What is the point on going on a game show - that pits personality against personality - and then penalising honesty.

The way Sam has dodged nominations is nothing short of black magic. My bets are on sleeping with a BB producer.

Don't let another Cameron win this show!!!!!!!!!!

Oh your first post , Welcome!!!!

hello

Derek,Roberto,Craig interesting Hmmmm I might have agreed with you about Derek and Roberto in the first week, but now they are showing what a wolf looks like in sheeps clothing.Roberto(bless him) ex military man but most definetly Italian military man has waved the the white flag to become besotted and heavily influenced by his lordship and the young bitch boy pretender Craig and old Robbo and the clan find themselves in hot water.

Sams not the only one who has dodged the nominations Delboy also was saved the axe by Vanessa who finally woke up to spill the beans after a week of hibernation with yep Craig( the picture is becoming clear) BB give the opportunity to oust Sam by putting the whole group up (which i found unfair) but the public voted again for another bitch instead.

Big Brother don't make rules to be flouted any influencing in nominations is against the rules and should be dealt with accordingly.

Im confused are these three up for eviction now or have they just been excluded from nominating.

If it is I think BB has bended rules a bit to their own preference.Unfortuantely at the rate we are going we will end up with another bland and undeserving winner.

Whatever happened to strikes?So what if they have the naughty step,that will really starighten them out wont it?Get your act together BB.

They've just been excluded from nominating this week, Lance.

Completely different logic from BB this week ......... last week when Vanessa talked about nominations ALL the housemates were up for eviction. This week Craig, Derek & Roberto talked about nominations, and they're excluded from nominating.

Bizarre .......... and just a bit baffling. Still, Big Brother reserves the right to change the rules at any time .................

Ok thanks Kaz.I think they are too inconsistent with rules though.Its not fair to treat Vanessa liek that and then let these three away with a minor punishment.

They didn't show Vanessa's bitching on the screen to the other housemates though. If they had that would have turned the HMs against her just as it has with the three today.
