When voting is open, you can vote to evict a housemate by premium rate telephone call.

Unless directed in the live show, you will be voting to EVICT a housemate.

I agree Speidi are overrated as housemates and if they had been in basically any other season I would have wanted them out, but they were the only people doing anything in CBB11 once Paula left. And obviously vote to save doesn't always work, but it definitely works better than a vote to evict.

Although Conor did play a big part in that series and it was interesting to watch, it helped him in the long run to stay in and also go on to win 50k. If it means people like Conor don't get the chance to win such money again, then good. I don't mind people like Conor doing 3 or 4 weeks, after that I am happy for them to go.

Benedict and Lydia went in a 2 way, which makes no difference. If there was 1 more person with them, they would have stayed. Lydia would have GONE on Day 3 instead of Victoria actually.

And Caroline was EVICTED. In the VTS, she was never bottom, she didn't come bottom until lines were re-opened in a 2 way, which is basically a VTE. Had they had 1 vote reading or even just two, Luke S would have gone, NOT Caroline.

They literally did nothing though. They sat by themselves and avoided confrontation and didn't talk to anyone, it was boring. The "everyone vs. Speidi" storyline was stretched out for three weeks when it only had enough substance for one week. Take them out and we actually have the chance for cracks and fissures in the main group. CBB11 was horrid because it was all about Speidi, just like how BB12 was horrid because it was all about Aaron.

Most of the time on C5 vote to save has actually been a vote to evict because of the head-to-head votes. They really should have went the total other direction with it this year and instead had three nominees per week.

They literally did nothing though. They sat by themselves and avoided confrontation and didn't talk to anyone, it was boring. The "everyone vs. Speidi" storyline was stretched out for three weeks when it only had enough substance for one week. Take them out and we actually have the chance for cracks and fissures in the main group. CBB11 was horrid because it was all about Speidi, just like how BB12 was horrid because it was all about Aaron.

I really don't think there would have been many cracks or fissures in the CBB11 cast. I was bored of them by the end of the launch and wouldn't have bothered watching if Speidi were evicted. Then again I may have had a different opinion if I had watched it live, but I actually stopped watching after the first week and only saw the last two over the course of two days when I was sick and had nothing else to do.

If you think about it the hardcore BB fans outweigh the casual/brainless fans so it's possible that we'll have the upper hand this time round as oppose to 2004/5/6. Don't complain when the entertaining housemates get evicted when you don't even vote.

Charley was good at avoiding nominations, but she would have been gone Day 31 and Day 45 had the producers not rigged it to save her. Thank god they did because without her BB8 would have been worthless.

There have been lots of good series, but most series would have been better with vote to save. BB2, BB7, BB8, BB9, and BB11 in particular were ruined by it.

Obviously it doesn't always save good housemates, but it does a lot more than vote to evict. And in many instances when good housemates left it was a head-to-head vote so it was actually just a vote to evict.

It doesn't work in head to heads, the morons still have free reign. The majority of fans have been asking for a minimum of three nominees per week to cancel that out for years but instead they've decided to return to the old system which is almost guaranteed to fail on our part every single time.

I get what you're trying to say but voting to evict entices voters to get rid of the one they dislike the most and that annoys them the most (which 99% of the time is actually the one that should stay to benefit the show), whereas the principle of vote to save should (it doesn't always as you mentioned, but it does moreso than vote to evict) entice people to save the biggest character

The only way now that we're going to be able to balance this out is if they give us two or three random weeks across the series where everyone is up and it's a vote to save with a double eviction. That way we can at least get a few opportunities to cull the dull, but the chances of them giving us that are slim.

The public weren't AS terrible back then with it, but they still made some awful decisions, look at vote to evict for BB12/13/CBB9/10/11

Speidi would have gone early, Shannon Twins, Lydia first, Aaron out middle.

The only good thing about vote to evict being on C5 would have been Conor going in that 4 way with Arron/Deana/Becky.

Well we never had to the chance. They were never forced to turn on each other because the whole house was united against them. A one week storyline was dragged out to last three weeks and it was miserable.

People just need to vote to evict the boring ones. That way the best ones will stay. People need to vote.

I wish that was the case but unfortunatly the most interesting, controversial people get voted out first and we are left with the boring fly under the radar characters...

I'm hoping this vote to evict is a lie like when the dark BB eye was a lie! But don't think it will be a lie! :(

I think it really will be a vote to evict! :(

If all the entertaining housemates start getting evicted then maybe BB might change it to vote to save?

Save and Evict both have there advantages. It's 50/50 for me. I hated Conor last year. If it was vote to evict he would have gone earlier.

I still think theres a good chance its a bit of a typo or miscommunication the end result of the vote is that it gets someone evicted whichever way its done.

Its also shows how strange some folk are that only 24 hours ago they were bitching and slagging off people that work on the show telling them to go back to how they used to do their job and now are crying and slagging off the show for possibly changing something back to how it always used to be done.

You cant win with people that have that limited mentality and just want everything their own way and have a hissy fit if they dont get it.

Vote to Evict means evictions will be so predictable. One of the good things about Vote to Save was the viewers didn't know who would stay.

VTE fits with their "nastier" theme.

As has been said, practically speaking it doesn't even matter unless there are three nominees.

If they had been serious over vote to save they would have had a minimum of three up as in Australia. They never tried to change the whole hate culture over the show sadly, opening the door to hear the crowd at eviction interviews etc.

5 out of the 10 public votes in BB13 were instances where only 2 people were up... In the previous series out of 9 public votes in 6 of those cases more than 2 people faced the public... I fail to see in either case how having 3 or more people face the vote would have affected the outcome drastically...

The "nice" vote works in Australia because it's a family show... BBUK was still nasty in nature even when it was trying to be nice... A 3-way vote would not have changed that...

I always get a chuckle on this forum how people overeact to everything. One housemate will be a model "this series is ruined!" There are clouds behind the eyes "cancel it!" and now this.

What this comes down to is that Channel 5 know that they messed up the last couple of years. Now they are doing everything in their power to tug on nostalgia to bring the fans back to the show, and vote to evict is the classic way.

Also as much as we may have liked the unpredictable aspect of VTS the general public seemed to really dislike it. I for one have found it very wierd when the presenters and crowd are not in tune with the voting.

The bottom line is that Big Brother is, and always has been, a popularity contest. It is just far easier to hate than to love, after all we're british.

It takes a lot to change the hate mentality, but on CH5 not much effort has even been made. It isn't about it having to be a family show either, they push these stupid 'romances' just like they try to do on the Australian version.

I like it when the presenters and the stupid crowd they bring in don't get what they want. I prefer the focus being off the crowd, the fact that they have been given such importance and influence on the show and the house has been bad for the show. Big Brother when predictable is tedious, that tends to be the drawback of the American version. This version has the potential to be more unpredictable both for HMs and even sometimes for the audience. And to say that people just want to hate here is a gross distortion, and suggests that everyone loves the arsehole tabloids. They and their bigoted attitudes are the worst thing about this country.

And the eviction process is the most basic part of the show, it's way more important than clouds, how can you dismiss it as being unimportant?

Well people on here actually need to start picking up the phone to evict the boring ones now.

Every year we have forum members moaning about the best housemates going yet 90% of you don't even vote.

Its up to the fans to keep it interesting and the casting had better be brilliant this year.

Estelle never pushed any 'romance' on the show, she made that very clear while on it. She was popular on her own merit.

Your response is laughable... She totally pushed a romance with Ryan until she was evicted and then ****ed around with Micheal near the end of the series... Estelle wasn't "popular on her own merit" she was "popular" because the public pitied her...

My point is that you only support VTS because if it were VTE Estelle would have been given the boot early on... And the series would have been better for it...

I am not saying that we all want to hate, I am saying that it is easier to react negatively than to put faith in someone.

And I did not say its not important, its very important but I will not let it ruin the show for me. The best years on Channel 4 were vote to evict and if it means exorcising the rest of the crap they changed I will take vote to evict. Now if the editing remains the same, the housemates are TOWIE rejects and the show continues to be tacky then I will complain.

"Unless directed in the live show you will be voting to EVICT a housemate" on the T&C's

EDIT: ALL mentions of vote to EVICT have GONE from the T's&C's page.

Maybe it's still vote to save??

Apparently it was just an error on the site or they have listened to forums.

The vote to evict info has now been taken down so looks like its still a vote to save.

I'm not getting my hopes up yet though, in case they put it back up again at any point.

They also need at least 3 people up each week.

We saw good characters leave early last series.

Chris, Lydia and Benedict went early.

All in 2 way evictions though, which is basically a vote to evict anyway.

Terrible news if true. Started to get excited with the good news of the daily two hour live feed, but vote to evict if returning is terrible news. Three or more up for eviction and the most interesting housemates will likely be up and gone almost every week then.

Will try and not let this bad news spoil my enjoyment just yet until my favourites are evicted.

They've taken down the news of VTE Scotty, so now we are just hoping they confirm VTS is staying and don't mess up by putting it back to vte :amazed:

If you see a page back, it seems they have taken down the evict line on the link, so I think it's still VTS.

Well all the stuff about voting to evict has been removed from the FAQ now:
http://bb3.channel5.com/c5/faq/#top

They don't mention anything about evicting or saving, so either they're still deciding on what to do or they are just sticking with VTS as usual.
