Can some one explain this twist for me please.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

I don't understand this twist at all, I get Michael is our player and we tell him what to do but what about nominations? Do we pick his nominations? Can he be nominated himself?

Thought he was not a housemate so this needs clearing.

[Tregard]

We get choice for what he can do, and he will do the things we vote for. He won't nominate as he is not a housemate.

[ThisIsNickkk]

From how I understand it...

He isn't an housemate, therefore I believe he will be immune from nominations, but the other housemates will obviously not know. My only problem with that, if say the majority of the housemates nominate him - it makes near enough half of the votes redundant?

He obviously can't win as he isn't an housemate - unless he's promoted to HM status when he little reign comes to an end.

And basically he is the "people's puppet" therefore I'm presuming we'll be given a list of things to vote on periodically - the one with the most votes BB will make him do I suppose.

So what happens when it comes to nomination day? Will Big Brother tell other housemates he cant be nominated?

[Ramsay]

I think we will choose who he nominates and if he gets nominated they will just put up more than two people and have him up too but he automatically survives so we vote out of the other people

[Pink Pegasus]

I don't know how it will work regarding other housemates nominating him. I can't see BB having wasted nominations for anybody who nominates him, so if they want to carry this charade on they might have to concoct some false scenario where he wins a pass to the final or something?

[BBUKAUSFAN]

i think since he is "head of house" they will twist it to say he cant be nominated this week

[Benjamin]

Yeah, I don't get the nominations part. Surely if people nominate him and it doesn't count, it wastes their vote and changes everything?

[Marsh.]

I think if he is nominated then those votes will either be discounted or they'll put 2 housemates up with him.

He'll automatically survive and the public will choose between the other 2.

this would make sense

[Ramsay]

if he gets enough nominates to go up then he will go up. but we wont be able to evict or save him. they have to make it look like a housemate so even if he goes up every week, it'll just look like he's surviving every eviction
edit: yeah, pretty much what marsh said

Yep, that is a point actually, but it still wastes nominations in that sense.

[Maneki-neko]

he'll probably only last till the others see through it. Why would anybody assume the diary room is up stairs straight away? I can't believe they haven't caught onto it yet.

[Ramsay]

they probably saw the words diary room when they passed by during their entrance

[starry]

unless he's promoted to HM status when he little reign comes to an end.


Really hope this doesn't happen, would be so unfair.

[Jack_]

omg I hope we get to pick his noms, that would be amazing :love:

Also...is this Head Housemate status going to be a running thing? And most importantly...are they going to have any special nomination powers? I'm sure you all know what I was hoping for but they've not really expanded on this :suspect: whether it'll be some meaningless title for him or whether it'll continue week by week and they might change the nomination process a bit

[jyunga]

The twist isn't explained. Keep watching and they'll tell us exactly what you can and can't get him to do? :P

[Jords]

I have a feeling we will vote at the end if we want our 'puppet' to become a HM or not.

[Scream]

Probably will be put up and if we want to keep him, we will have to vote...
