OH FFS!

The ONE time they listen to the fans, and it has to be a bunch of silly old bastards who have no idea what's good for the show.

This is actually the death of the series now. That's it.

Good, from the little i've watched the past day, just seems a foul unenjoyable atmosphere with all the plotting in there, will be good for a bit of something else for once (even if that's not popular with all the people that live for that gameplaying stuff)

I'd rather it be a massive bitchfest than a dull ******ing TOWIE rip off where they literally do nothing but silly tasks and dance and talk about romance all day.

The game playing element Channel 5 were building onto Big Brother UK, Aaron's legacy, the real entertainment behind BB13 - has just been destroyed. Thanks to these complete dull morons who have now went and ruined the show further.

The one good series Big Brother has had in 4 Years, and now they've just went and ruined the main good thing it had behind it.

It doesn't state how long for but I assume it's until further notice.

I think maybe they could've held this off for another week or two where the current system becomes stale. Although sooner is better than never.

'dis is big bruva, lydia u must wear a chicken suit for the next hour and u'll be given electirc shocks too haha, thats 4 talkin about nominations!!1'

Yes. That is what the punishments will consist of. It's not 2004 where the punishment would of been really harsh.

yes but a game where they have no idear whos voting who is much better for the paranoid freaks. and makes the game players work harder. plus punishments are a bonus. especially now they are used to talking.
it will get very good now this will freak them out big time.

dont panic

There've been amazing series without nominations being able to be talked about. There's no reason this can't be the same: the ingredients for the series are the tasks, the housemates and... live feed Ž_Ž

I like that this'll really show how good at playing the game they are, and nominations might be more interesting. Arguments could still be all over the place with people accusing or suspecting each other and they might ignore BB, meaning punishments anyway!

It did another dimension to the show, so let's hope they can keep carrying it. It's about time the highlights had something new.

20-06-2012, 07:36 PM
i'm sure now we'll see different sides to housemates and hopefully they find ways to entertain themselves and different things to talk about and im sure big brother will allow housemates to talk about noms again in a few weeks.. so its a win win situation. Possibly we'll see alot more housemates sucking up to eachother now and more arguments.

I dont see why everyone thinks this will harm Lydia? If they were still allowed to discuss, Luke S, Arron etc would all nom Lydia and Deana and they would be gone. But now that its banned, everyone stands an equal chance of getting nominated.

smeagol
20-06-2012, 07:43 PM
the way i see it is
people will have to use their own brains now and not be infulenced by others. now they free to vote who they want
anyone can be up now especially if they punish them with it.
game players will have to be sneakier - lydia for one that will be fun
paranoia will freak them out as they wont know who'd doing what
evictions will no longer be obvious
we will learn more about these people
less nom talk equals more decent convos more fun
no one gets targeted now to be put up which wasn't fair and not good if abig personality like the last two weeks

LOL at everyone saying the shows over. Dramatic much?

The reason they have stopped it is because all the housemates are talking about is ****ing nominations and its getting boring!

People are switching off.

They can allways bring back noms talk but im glad we can actually see something else now.

A group knows within it who they like and dont like and this is how naturally block-voting occurs.

The rule changed allowed those not in the bigger group (Conor/Luke S/Arron... with Ash and Sara swayed with them... and possibly Caroline now) to fight back and try to allign.

Things were getting really interesting. I think Im over normal BB Im really not excited at all atm.

8 more weeks of nom talk would have been terrible for the show. We need a break from it so that other things will make the edit and we can get to know the housemates better. The nom talk is sooo draining for some people.

Perfect time to do it as well I think. They are all confortable talking about noms, they will **** up a lot now and get punished a lot. It'll likely make people a little more paranoid now that they aren't going to be sure what's going on.

Best thing is that they can allow them to talk about noms again any time they want. Maybe a couple weeks break and then open it back up, who knows.

Well, surprise, surprise...:shocked:

As soon as the chosen one (Becky) is in any kind of trouble, then suddenly here comes C5 like a knight in shining armor to save itīs golden goose aka Becky the overeating princess. Ugh...:(

Might as well hand her the check now and be done with it.

Hopefully this will lead into good things, but i highly doubt it.

I thought Caroline was the chosen one. :suspect:

Oh as soon as everyone starts nominating Becky and the other group mounts a stand against the clique... this happens.

I think its a lets save Becky and get rid of Lydia tatic and i am PISSED off!

However its good in the fact that nominations was always a fundemental rule and they messed with the basics of Big Brother. Kepp it this way

I agree just when the minority group were going to nom on bloc and the cool group had decided to put Becky up ,they change the noms talk rule.

Double Standards 70 up, 26 down
When someone is allowed to get away with something others arent. when a particular standard is applied to a certain group but not another. this doesn't necessarily apply to gender but everything.
Politicians complaining about pet projects and pork spending as a problem but still pushing their own through because theirs is obviously more okay is a great example of double standards.

The smaller pay black soldiers receive was also a double standard

I think they should be a few weeks of talking about noms and then ban them, that would mess with their heads. Im all for head wrecking.

Or maybe they did it cause the BOTS polled got 86% of the viewership wanting nom talk squashed.

Exactly.

Some people just cant accept its for the good of the show and not actually a conspiracy.

Im glad, nom talk was all we were seeing and the less bitchier housemates like Shievonne werent getting any airtime.

Atleast we may actually see some of the other characters in the house now. Lets face it the housemates dont need nom talk to be bitchy anyway lol.

No. I like it when our BB can move away from all the game playing and just stay on people having interesting conversations rather than constant nom talk. BBUSA is just purely a game show. Whilst the UK one is a game too, for the viewer it had other interests too. Of course the interesting conversations have gotten slimmer with each passing series.

C5 have a number in their books, audience wise, that justifies the expense of running BB. We as viewers don't know what that number is.

Rule changes are nothing new to BB, they've always thrown things in the works. Remember the first time they tried a house divide? It was a total shock.

Think this is the first time BB have listened to the viewers though. Only wish they'd made it more of a twist or task like.
They could've "can one housemate come to the diary room." then told that housemate the change and said it's up to them whether they wish to inform the others or see them get punished.

To me I like both the UK and USA versions of the show so I was down with it either way. But the Big Brother of the past 2 years has not been MY Big Brother. But I have more of a problem with the production than the noms talk, however...

What I got into Big Brother for and what most of you probably did was to see a group of people locked in a house. We then vote on the one we like the most. So long as the public vote the winner then game playing will never win overall, even Arron last year was not a total arse hole. If the show can get back to liking the nice people, while enjoying the drama then it's good. However if it gets dull because this lot don't know how to be normal BB then production can always change it back.

At the end of the day I want to see Big Brother giving them good tasks and f'king with them more. That's what I tuned in for. The housemates don't rule the show, we do and Big Brother does. And that's the way it should be.

21-06-2012, 11:14 AM
I'm glad in a way they have changed to not been allowed to talk about nominations, it's going to be fun & games seeing the HM's punished for talking about them(cause no doubt they will slip up at some point), but I would like to think maybe later in the series maybe a day before nominations they allow them to talk about them just for the day, one thing is for certain I'm pretty sure this will get Lydia & possibley Deana evicted fairly soon I woud think.

Allowing noms talk in the first place was a pretty brainless decision....If it aint broke don't fix it. BB was is not broke its all down to the quality of housemates selected from the start as to if BB works or not.

Talking noms just leads to a string of back stabbing boring talk leaving no mystery to the viewer as to who will vote which way. Talking noms makes the show too brain dead predictable......Glad they have done the intelligent thing and are being true to the UK BB format. The Americans can have the American BB way and keep it to themselves......No need for the UK to copy everything those nuts do.......

They've done it to stop Team Lyds from getting Luke S and Caroline up for the vote as I have a feeling those two would have been the two that Team Lyds would have been targeting if given a little longer to discuss nominations.

BB want Lydia out next week I think.

I'd rather it be a massive bitchfest than a dull ******ing TOWIE rip off where they literally do nothing but silly tasks and dance and talk about romance all day.

The game playing element Channel 5 were building onto Big Brother UK, Aaron's legacy, the real entertainment behind BB13 - has just been destroyed. Thanks to these complete dull morons who have now went and ruined the show further.

The one good series Big Brother has had in 4 Years, and now they've just went and ruined the main good thing it had behind it.

Exactly, the whole BB thing just got boring after the like the first 7/8 years...this was finally something different.

BB 2009 and 2010 was ****e, cos we'd seen it all before.

This was finally something different and they fuk it up.

Imagine Luke S' face when Team Lydia would of done some class tactical voting to get him up, his face would of been a picture.

This was brewing up to be a class battle between the two teams....now as Patrick says...the highlight's will be full of Ash/Luke, stupid tasks and other ****e.
