Default This Tuesday eviction is just a money grabbing scheme by Channel 4

Has anyone realised that this Tuesday eviction is just a grubby little scheme to trick gullible viewers to add to channel 4 coffers?

In normal times we would have normal voting until Friday when voting picks up.

Even in times when they had midweek eviction of least popular housemate people were doing the once before the final, sort of voting.

Now with this eviction in the middle of the week as it were, it forces people who may have just voted one in a week to vote more times.

To me it sounds more like a grubby money making exercise than a twist.

Let's not forget that this year they are not donating anything to charity.

They always do a mid-week eviction in the finale week...

Yeah but normally, they start doing vote to save after the Friday eviction, then whoever gets the least votes out of them, leaves mid week.

They dont usually do this vote to evict in the final week.

Once this eviction is over, people will then have to spend MORE money voting for who they want to save so I agree with OP... clearly just a money making scheme.

The fact that they're all up, presumably with a vote to evict, pretty much confirms it

It is strange, but if C4 wants to continue to make money off BB, I guess now is the time to do it Don't like? Don't vote. I know I'm not voting until Friday.

Yep, for sure they're trying to extract as much money as possible from the voters this year.

They're desperate to save as much money as they can, by taking away the prize money as well, they stand to make a fair bit of money back this year.
