F&F allowed to repeat verbatim

[Knitting Nana]

Doesnt bode well for next year! Are HMs going to, to a certain extent, hold back on what they say in case it gets repeated? (in terms of nominations by F&F that is)

Whilst the F&F had every right to make general statements e.g. he/she bitches behind peoples backs, he/she is two faced, etc. I dont think they should be allowed to give verbatim examples unless ALL the F&F do that. I bet if the other F&F had known becky's sister was going to use the 'bmi' card (which is a medical calculation - NOT term of abuse indicidentally) they would have found something equally, if not more, abusive from the other nominees e.g. epilatorgate

I totally agree with you Knitting Nana, some of the families took maximum opportunity to put the boot in...

Wouldn't surprise me if BB told Deana's friend she couldn't use that excuse

No me neither.

That crossed my mind too but there's no way of knowing. They all know they're being watched constantly by the cameras but its one thing to have convo's regarding noms read out and a convo between 3 HM's which broke no rules read out. To even things out I think all HMs should now be given a choice of previous conversations to watch in the DR. Thing is, not one of the insiders, during becky's rant in the bedroom, had the integrity to say 'woah, some of the stuff we've said has been pretty bad, I'm glad no one read THAT out!'. They just revelled in the fact that Luke a had been 'outed'. Connor's gleeful face just made me feel sick knowing some of the stuff he's said.

Good post.

F&F should also make their nominations before meeting other F&F otherwise they can collude. It's more or less like letting HMs talk about nominations again.

It was blatently obvious that they had met and agreed on who they would be nominating so as to ensure they had maximum effect in block voting.

My opinion is that they should scrap it completely. It doesn't work. Last year and this year was absolute proof of that! HMs aren't allowed to talk about nominations and block vote, but basically by allowing F&F to vote on their behalf has chucked that rule right out of the window!

Me neither, it appears to be just something they want to brush under the carpet. Like freezergate. At least we got shown some of it though I guess.

I know I keep bringing the freezer thing up a year later, but it really pissed me off how they totally wiped any footage about it (and there must have been a lot of convos about it aswell as the incident itself) and basically edited a huge part of the house story out of the show.

Another thing about it is that F&F in a lot of cases clearly target the favourites to win, to try and eliminate the main competition, happened last year as well with Aaron.

Ex-HMs nominating would be much better than F+F, if they insist on doing these silly nomination twists. They lived with these people and saw the real them, not the edited versions we see.

Becky's sister was a spit of her, no wonder she loves her so much :bored: As vile and ridiculous as her sister

[HBB1508]

I totally agree with everything in this thread - I hate F&F's nominating, they know too much about the show, it should be up to either the HM's or the public and no one else.
