Vote to evict is back. What do you think?

[Calderyon]

Vote to evict is back. Are you happy or unhappy?

Should vote to save been kept on?

[Marcus.]

i dont mind

[*mazedsalv**]

Vote to Save is better.

[Jordan.]

Unhappy because we're gonna have a final full of floaters and a boring winner

[Jack_]

I'm appalled and extremely disappointed. Roll on the big characters being evicted in the first half of the series and a dullard winner...

I seriously hope this is a 'lie' and they're trolling us again

[lostalex]

They ruined Vote to save when they had it because most weeks it was only 2 people up for nomination, so it was pointless having vote to save, cause it was a vote to evict by default.

If they had done vote to save properly, and made a rule that at least 3 people were up every week, it would have worked so much better. Vote to save only works when there are a lot of people up.

[Me. I Am Salman]

Indifferent.

the current system is only good for more than two nominees, which is rare. So opting to vote to evict isn't s major difference to the series

[Black Dagger]

****ing awful decision.

[Samm]

Don't mind

Exactly, and this is what the majority of fans have been asking for for the last few years, and instead they've given us the one system that worked even worse than head-to-head vote to saves :bored:

[Jordan.]

Anyone seriously favouring vote to evict take your mind back to John James, Corin and Sam getting evicted leaving us with this final

Ew that was a one off

[armand.kay]

Urgh :|

[Jake.]

If the majority of bigger personality's on 5's BB had been saved, then I'd feel more angry. But Victoria, Chris, Benedict, Heaven, Rebeckah and so on going shows that sometimes the result wouldn't have been different with a vote to evict in place...

[Locke.]

I'm not too bothered. The entertaining housemates can still survive vote to evicts if they're also likeable enough (See Rex, Freddie, Marcus, etc).

It's just the bitchy women we'll get rid of now, which pretty much continued to happen with a vote to save anyway

[armand.kay]

Surely they make more money with vote to save... just imagine how much they would of made from Deana and Aaron!!

[Stankleberry]

Democracy doesn't work.

[Marcus.]

Don´t care either way/Both are good/okay for me

[reece(:]

Load of ****.

[armand.kay]

and Caroline was ****ing cheated she would of stayed had they not done her like that -_-.

[Josy]

Not really bothered tbh, vote to save was only ever successful if there was more than 2 up anyway.

[Jake.]

It might be them trying to get as back to basics as possible?

[Wildcat!]

Its BBUk, and its tradition. I am all for bringing it back. Even if you lose one big character, thats what its all about. Others will emerge, always.
It makes eviction night, more relevant, and more fun!

I was against it before, but now I sort of miss it.
This coming series, feel a bit like the early BBs, and the vote to evict, will come along with it.

[reece(:]

I feel now the boos are going to be bigger than ever. :bored:

[Black Dagger]

Oh god, the mob will get their way more now :bored:

I still cant believe JJ got to the final :L

It won't make a major difference, although I'm prepared to eat my words.

[rk3388]

Indifferent.

-KK And Michael Would have been evicted instead of kirk and natalie
-Speidi would have been evicted over Paula/Gillian etc
- In BB12, Aaron would probably have been evicted at some point


Still indifferent :idc:

[BB IS ALIVE]

I honestly don't mind.

[Suze]

I don't think it makes a lot of difference, as when it was changed to vote to save, BB messed a lot with the noms and immunity tasks to get favoured results, and expect they always will do so now. Maybe there wasn't so much voting going on in Vote to Save rather than evict?

[Maneki-neko]

Good news! Yay

[chuff me dizzy]

Love it :dance::dance::dance: something Ive called for since it was changed

[Jack_]

oh god

[Black Dagger]

Oh ffs

[fruit_cake]

I don't feel they gave VTS a fair chance, as most of the time it was a head to head eviction which makes it essentially the same as VTE anyway.

[Black Dagger]

I'm just confused, they didn't even try and hide the fact they were rigging it for Speidi to stay as long as they could during CBB, they obviously want and need characters, why ruin it?

[Jack_]

That's a good point actually, we learnt that they too wish to keep the big characters in (well, who wouldn't?!) in January and now they've brought back a system which goes completely against that :shrug:

Unless the nominations process has changed to one which will ensure, or hope to ensure that the deadwood goes up?

[Gillian-73]

I wanted VTS to stay!

THIS

[joeysteele]

I agree with Jack and Lostalex, I prefer vote to save myself but it does need 3 or more up to be realy effective.

For me though, re-instating vote to evict is a backward step and a bad move in my opinion. Really disappointing if it really goes ahead.

[Joe.]

I'm actually happy-

BB5/6/7/8/9/10 all produced amazing final 5's! BB11 was a minor occasion just because of the Quad.

wat.

Charlie/Rodrigo/Sophie/David were all awful...

[Joe.]

Charlie/Rodrigo/Sophie/David were all awful...

What? Rodrigo, Sophie, David and Siavash were brilliant! Charlie was crap imo but the BB10 final was amazing, maybe Bea should have been there or Freddie but apart from that :lovedup:

[Jack_]

BB10's final was awful, just not as awful as BB11's. It should've been made up of Marcus, Freddie, Siavash, Bea (and I hated the ****ing bitch) and Noirin.

[zakman440]

I honestly don't mind, would have preferred VTS a little but i'm not fussed.

[cheeky_monkey]

I think they should of kept the vote to save!

There has been some housemates that annoyed me but at the same time are entertaining too! lol Even through they annoyed me I still want them to stay in the BB house! :joker:

I rather watch annoying but entertaining housemates in the BB house then the boring ones on the show! :)

I do hope the entertaining housemates don't go first! :(

[Shaun]

always lose a big character in the first few weeks because the house are going to nominate the irritants either way. Would prefer a vote to save though since it means the public can't get arsey about their supposed "paying to evict people" rights getting quashed in twists

[Jase.]

I seriously hope this is a 'lie' and they're trolling us again

Right?

[Jack_]

Right?

:suspect:

[lostalex]

Typical TiBB, we've found a reason to hate the show before it's even begun... LIKE ALWAYS. :joker:

[ahopkins]

I am happy with the vote to evict but I think the best way to do it is have a vote to evict when there are 2 people up and a vote to save when there are more than 2!

[Macie Lightfoot]

If the majority of bigger personality's on 5's BB had been saved, then I'd feel more angry. But Victoria, Chris, Benedict, Heaven, Rebeckah and so on going shows that sometimes the result wouldn't have been different with a vote to evict in place...

Those "bigger personalities" you listed really aren't that big.

I'm not too bothered. The entertaining housemates can still survive vote to evicts if they're also likeable enough (See Rex, Freddie, Marcus, etc).

It's just the bitchy women we'll get rid of now, which pretty much continued to happen with a vote to save anyway

lol @ any of those people being likable. You're right about the "bitchy" women getting screwed with this but to be fair the public's sexist as a whole so women never really stood a chance.

-KK And Michael Would have been evicted instead of kirk and natalie
-Speidi would have been evicted over Paula/Gillian etc
- In BB12, Aaron would probably have been evicted at some point


Still indifferent :idc:

Speidi and Aaron going would've worth it so perhaps VTE will work out fine.

wat.

Charlie/Rodrigo/Sophie/David were all awful...

David <3 so robbed

BB10's final was awful, just not as awful as BB11's. It should've been made up of Marcus, Freddie, Siavash, Bea (and I hated the ****ing bitch) and Noirin.

eek that'd be even worse than BB11 :shocked:





Anyways, to answer the question I don't really think it matters. Switching to vote to save didn't even change much, people are always going to complain "well if there was a better voting system <"big character" aka huge boring asshole> would've stayed" so no matter what voting system we get people are going to bitch because it'll never go according to plan.

[ahopkins]

I just disagreed with everything you just said there

[Benjamin]

I prefer vote to evict. It generates more edge towards an eviction as everyone tries to get their least favourite out. I find people are more passionate with evictions when getting to vote out rather than save. :devil:

[lostalex]

basically you're saying Hate > Love.

It's a fair point.

[Benjamin]

Yep. People tend to vote more and talk more about who they want to oust. Vote to evict sometimes backfires and a good housemate goes, but it's so much better when you want a housemate out and they go and your vote to evict helped see them out the door.

[Colbert-Bump]

Vote to Evict sucks, all the entertaining housemates will be booted out & the final will be a dull dull dull.

[Benjamin]

Maybe the producers shouldn't pick dull housemates to start with?

[ahopkins]

I don't think the vote to save or evict is that much difference because most of the big personalities were voted out of BB12 early, kind of the same in BB13.

[ahopkins]

Maybe the producers shouldn't pick dull housemates to start with?

That's always the best way. If all of them are argumentative then we won't even notice the change

[Colbert-Bump]

Vote to Evict means housemates will now be reserve so they can stay in the house longer, that's not a good thing for an entertainment show.

[Benjamin]

Hmmm, sometimes. Look at BB5. There were many BIG characters in there who survived for ages/to the final.

I think BB needs to start picking housemates that are not trying to be argumentative, that never really works (look at Charley for example). What they need is people that are not used to being restricted, and they need to take away all these luxuries like sauna, nice foods, gyms etc. The more frustrated, restricted and deprived they are is when we see the sparks truly fly from most people (again look at fight night, it brought out strong traits good and bad in everyone).

Pushing people to their limits is what BB needs in order to get the best from all housemates over the 9 weeks.

Absolutely, basically they need to bring in ex-criminals, shahbaz clones and people with medically recognised anger problems :joker:

[Rob!]

The public have proven themselves to be completely useless whichever option their given, so either works for me.

[minny03]

I'm stunned. This has officially killed my anticipation and excitement for the upcoming season. It looked like they were going in the right direction this season and then they pull this crap?! Ugh I'm so annoyed right now.

[lostalex]

it's like the old saying goes... would you rather have sex with 1 horse sized man OR 100 duck-sized men?

It's the age old story.

[Benjamin]

I think we know my answer to that. ;)

Is this a penis thing? If so, the horse. Not that I'm into animals or anything.

[Dash Darington]

I'm pleasantly surprised to see that most of us are either pleased or indifferent.

The season will hinge on the casting, not the voting options. There hasn't been a cast I enjoyed since BB10UK, so I'm not optimistic until I see it.

[Mystic Mock]

I personally prefer vote to save if done properly, sadly though Ch5 allowing one on ones like it's still a vote to evict made vote to save pointless.

[newsbb]

big mistake #1

Agreed.

[BBUKAUSFAN]

vote to evict.

come on like vote to save got you LUKE A the most boring housemate ever to win?

[starry]

This is awful. Maybe they think they make more money with vote to evict. Just means it will be even more negative and characters will go even quicker. Evictions will be even more predictable.

[kingston]

I think it's really a mixed blessing IMO... I believe that the fundamentally the nature of the public vote was always that the viewers have the final say in who is evicted... It's also not as if a vote to evict always results in larger characters leaving either... Personally it's the nomination process that throws the larger characters under the bus...

[jyunga]

Interesting people leave the show because housemates nominate people that piss them off. Dull people tend not to piss people off and fly under the noms radar.

Exactly!!!

The vote to save kept Connor until he walked with half the prize money in week 10, despite the fact that he was disliked and complained about en-masse... Conner faced the public vote 4 times throughout the series and survived all 4 times and 3 out of those 4 times he faced more than one opponent... The vote to save is far from perfect...

[James]

Vote in this frontpage poll also.

Is it the right decision to bring back Vote to Evict?

790

[Macie Lightfoot]

Well also there were some idiots that literally said "I would LOVE for Conor to be evicted but I just can't bring myself to save Shievonne so I'm not voting" coupled with her being a black girl I don't see how people are amazed that it was an 80-20 split.

[SharkAttack]

OK with vote to evict, and not going to name any conditions. Let's see how it rolls. Big Bro is full of surprises. ;)

Ok now explain the other times where he faced at least 2 others in the vote?

[Niamh.]

hhhhmmmm I would say no but since most of the Evictions are one on one anyway I don't know if it makes that much difference and a part of me is glad they're going back to the way it was
