They should stick with the noms rules they have now - 3 or more up.

But 3+ up is pointless unless it's VTS, as a head2head just becomes a reverse VTE.

So yeah, VTS with 3+ up please.

[Daniel-X]

To be honest my favourite format of vote is when every housemate with one nomination or more gets put up. If I was producer I would do this but maybe up it every housemate with two nominations or more in a vote to save

I mean surely they make more money plus it gets rid of boring non entity housemates

[Beastie]

Definitely a vote to SAVE. And with no pass to the final or "killer" nomination please!

[Beastie]

Yes I think even if you just get 1 nomination then you should automatically be put up. Then there is more choice in a vote to save! I am sick of some housemates sailing through and getting away with not being put up for eviction!

[Jason.]

I don't get the hype for VTS.
It failed to save Frenchy in CBB14, in a 6 way vote against Ricci Guarnaccio FGS.
I don't mind it for CBB, but for the ordinary BB, I think VTE is perfect.
In hindsight, VTS wouldn't have changed BB15 much. Possibly Week 1 and 3 evictions would have been different.
Are we also forgetting that Biannca was evicted against Pav in a VTS?

All VTS does is keep ****heads like Conor and Jim Davidson in. VTE at least gives us the chance to get rid of them.

Yeah, it gives you the chance, but how often does it work out? Look at the douches who coasted through on VTE during the Channel 4 days (and the recent Channel 5 days, hi Ash) - mostly because they were male and weren't exactly hideously-looking regardless of whether they actually did anything in the house.

Both systems have their flaws but at least VTS is the fairest way of measuring popularity.

[ruiphillips]

Evict. It's classic Big brother.

[Lostie!]

I voted "I don't care" on the poll because there are instances where it has the opposite effect from the one expected, but I do prefer VTE as it generally punishes nastiness, while VTS has rewarded it plenty of times. There's less satisfaction of a twat getting the most votes and being turfed out, the twats are usually kept around and are given the chance to feel like their ****ty behaviour is valued.

And as ruiphillips says, VTE feels like classic BB.

[Ross.]

Vote To Save because that (usually) ensures that the best housemates stay in and the bores leave early.

[Macie Lightfoot]

does is tho.

[Jake.]

Both have pros and cons. In bigger evictions VTS is actually useless at times (Leslie & Frenchy both going springs to mind)

I think that was more a case of them not having that big of a fanbase to begin with and then their fans that they gained through the process thinking they would be safe as they'd already survived previous evictions or won popularity polls or w/e.

I honestly think it would work much better with civillian series as A) None of them have pre-existing fans to begin with B) The civillians series with VTS still had the 2 or more up rule, so I think they need to do a tester series with 3 or 4+ up VTS in a civillian series and see the outcome.

[Maxxie.]

VTS as long as that's not an exuse to put more than 2 housemates up for eviction. Just 2 unless its a tie

[Jake.]

I just kinda missed the old days where you had two massive characters pitted against eachother.. The atmosphere was amazing... But what with producers sticking up who they please, whenever they please and rushed, sloppy eviction shows with the same awful crowd, it doesn't happen now

[Samm]

I know there's other threads but I couldn't find them, I've changed my mind after tonight!

[Pete.]

I've grown to prefer the traditional VTE

[Jason.]

It got rid of Marco and gave us the first male first boot

so VTE >>

[Headie]

Changed my mind now

[Jason.]

VTS for CBB though cause it's shorter and idc if I lose one my faves in CBB cause it's only like 3 weeks anyway

Yeah ia, the VTE for civilian and VTS for CBB has worked in the long run

[MB.]

Civilian BB makes me hate VTE and CBB makes me hate VTS and overall this show just makes me hate the British public so yeah I'm fickle like that

(but currently, VTE > VTS)
