Rule-break Punishing - taking the actual piss!

[Jords]

BB just played 2 convos involving Deana/Sara, 1 convo involving Deana/Adam and 1 convo involving Sara/Luke A back into the house and punished the HMs with no hot water.

http://bigbrotheruk-s2.channel5.com/video/1738268165001/

Yet BB have completely ignored all set up meetings/convos to blatently influence each others noms into Luke A and Lauren - disgraceful!

I cant.

Side-note, lmfao @ Deana :joker:

[Jordan.]

Remember when housemates could only have hot water if they bought a ticket on the shopping list?

[Indy]

Was I the only one who interpreted Conor's celebration as "yay, they didn't read what I said" rather than "yay, I didn't say anything"?

[In the Drunk Tank]

Conor celebrating :laugh: Deana must be in the lead for most rule breaks now

Wrong as all The Insiders are ahead of her it's just that BB won't punish the bastards at all.

[Scream]

Can't believe just because BB punishes certain housemates their fans will say it's to get them out or put up or what ever. Others would complain if they didn't, they cannot win.

[EzzaB]

I LOLLED when BB kept reading out Deana's conversations XD. Deana stop talking about noms!!!

It's because BB keep punishing The Outsiders, but they never even seem to mention it when The Insiders are talking about D&B for example.

[MatthewS]

Is it because of legal reasons that they aren't punishing the rule breakers by putting them up for eviction?

They already opened voting earlier today, so does putting someone else up for eviction as well, at a later time, create an unfair advantage one way or another, and thus, they just won't do it?

Deana got caught three times talking about noms today, and all they do s shut off the hot water. Weak. I really think their has to be more to it........

[Merry Mockmas]

It's a good theory but The Insiders break that rule everyday so it can't be it.

[reece(:]

As usual BB favour their chosen ones and punish the outsiders. I'm bored now.:sleep:

[MatthewS]

They aren't really getting punished though...

If Conor breaks the rules x 1, then hot water gets shut off.
If Deana breaks the rules x 3, then hot water gets shut off.

If anything, BB is protecting the outsiders here, should be a lot worse.

[vortex]

Whats the big deal with hot water anyway? isn't it summer (although British weather is awful and it looks more like Autumn) it can't be that cold outside.

Oh lord, seriously?

There are two groups with a bunch of floaters in between. The smokers (outsiders whatever) obviously are outside more whereas the floaters are inside more... they bitch with the insiders group more often so yeah.. they'll have closer bounds and follow there lead in a face to face nomination. That's how the cookie crumbles. Maybe if the outsiders didn't smoke outside all day they'd have the floaters nominating the same as them during the face to face.
BB isn't rigging anything and the insiders are all trash when it comes to who the public will want to win.
Sure the outsiders will end up picked off. But 1-2 of them will end up making it to the final and will have a ton of backing to stop any of the insiders from having a chance of winning.

[smeagol]

that was a funny video actually.maybe they need to get smart and start stirring so others get put up. and not just sit back and moan and talk about noms and think good will provail as it doesn't always as this week confirmed.
deana was so right though on how its going to go.

Voting lines weren't open any earlier than they normally are! It's always done that way.

[vortex]

And how many times is BB gonna cut the hot water off? they are looking really silly, they need to do something else already, HM's dont give a flying f about not having hot water.

[MatthewS]

Voting lines weren't open any earlier than they normally are! It's always done that way.

I'm not talking about what time lines are opened at, I'm referring to putting a housemate up for eviction after voting has already started. Which has happened in the past, but I think isn't something BB will do anymore...

Example: Lauren and Luke A are up for eviction and voting begins. A few days later another housemate breaks the rules. I really think that regardless of the rule breaks Big Brother won't put that other housemate up for eviction, because it creates a legal and accountability issue. Because a) people already spent money voting based on only two nominations, and b) it creates an unfair advantage as two of the nominees will have a few extra days of votes. The only way BB could probably actually get away with it, is if they refunded all the money and cancelled the initial votes, and started again from scratch once the punished housemate went up. Which I doubt they really care to do.

Think about it, we've had a crazy amount of rule breaks this series. Not once has one been put up.

[karezza]

I agree - BB should punish the individual not the group. Deana should be put up for eviction .

[Black Dagger]

Absolutely ridiculous.

[Patricia4]

I agree - BB should punish the individual not the group. Deana should be put up for eviction .

She is one bore she is the one that does'nt know who to talk about next.

[Marmalite]

Why weren't Caroline, Becky and Conor (and later Luke S and Ash) not punished for discussing nominations in the bathroom?

It's blatently obvious - Conor even said the "N" word when he said that nobody dare nominate Adam (when what he meant was nobody would dare nominate me). Both Becky and Caroline both said they were sure they would be up and out this Friday (YAWN) and Conor said that he was surprised that he didn't have more nominations (or something along those line).

They spoke about it for at least 40 or more minutes (long enough for both Carol and Beck to have showers - and yes I did have to bathe my eyes in anticeptic solution when Becky decided to look around the shower door stark naked! bleuuuk)

Why is there one set of rules for some and yet another set for others?

[Marmalite]

I agree - BB deffo need to do something more punishable then just cutting the hot water. Most of the HM's have already showered or bathed when they do it so it's actually pointless and making them look like idiots and proves they have completely lost control.

The HM's involved in the discussions should be punished. I would like to see that person/those HM's involved put up automatically for the next week's eviction. I expect "hard man" Conor would pretty quickly change his tune about "I don't give a **** about BB rules".

Or even have that persons bitching sessions or private conversations about other HM's broadcast to the rest of the house - that would be great as it would be entertaining for us to see the reactions and stir up the HM's which will result in even more bitching, arguments, gameplan changing and back stabbing sessions and much more entertainment for us.

Add to that if Aaron breaks the rules he gets evicted, lol. BB will protect their little downtrodden princess in the face of all adversity so she wins and they can say they have an Indian winner on BB. They cant see anyone else more deserving. Letting an american black guy or slag from the north win is unacceptable. The only difference is that this year they are being very transparent with their choices, motives and stupid punishments that defo dont fit the crime. They have their favs for sure.

Yeah exactly, said this on another thread as well but arguably the worst punishment was actually given to Conor's D & B rule break because losing control of the Diary Room effectively meant he would definitely be up, or at least two Insiders anyway.

Bored of the conspiracy theories, BB is not favouring or being biased towards the Insiders

[Jords]

Insiders have gotten away with a lot more with all their influencing that has gone unpunished. Obviously their fans will make that its not true but I really dont care about that. I think its a shame the show is losing its integrity.

[In the Drunk Tank]

But everyone influences noms to some extent, everytime one housemate goes up to another and has a bitch about someone else then that's influencing their perception of that housemate and could alter their decision. The problem is it's a bit of a grey area, if Caroline steps up her bitching about a couple of people in the days leading up to monday is that considered influencing them?

And yeah I am more likely to see it that way being a Conor fan, and obviously the Outsider fans will see it in a different light, I don't see what the big deal is about that

[boomoo]

I think they are afraid of provoking Connor. That is why they had face to face noms. They knew the weakling Scott and Becky would not dare nom him.

Well as a Moderator perhaps you could influence BB. After all the housemates called insiders are playing BB.
Why not have Caroline have some of her convos played back. She starts on a Tuesday and systematically influences the weaker housemates. This might be seen as clever but it had ruined this years BB. No wonder people are switching off in droves.

Haha unfortunately not, but anyway yeah that's my point, Caroline is influencing people but that's just being smart and playing the game, I don't see how it cn constitute a rule break when really she's just bitching about people

Ah right i see, i misunderstood what you meant.

[starry]

We all know we can't trust the producers with the rules in the house, many of the rules are just a sham now anyway.

Put two more 1's on how many times Conor breaks the rules.

[Marmalite]

Let's face it they certainly weren't going to do anything to stop the subtle yet blatently obvious nominations talk this week. They knew exactly who was going up and probably even helped it along by allowing face to face noms to go ahead - BB was listening to all the conversations and knew that most of the HM's would nominate Lauren and Luka A. But they had to make this weeks eviction night an exciting one as they're up against the Olympics opening ceremony and need to compete to get viewers.

Look how much of a stir and publicity it's caused already... and you think Channel 5 were going to give that up?

I'm not a fan of any of the insiders and I completely disagree with you. The insiders have been punished a lot. There is nothing wrong with sitting around bitching about someone you hate and calling them vile,etc. If people choose to allow that to influence their vote then so be it. Everyone is open to doing that. Talking about how certain people are targetting you or telling how someone else is going to be targetted next so they'll vote with you is definitely influencing in the rule-breaking way imo.
