The Game Changer

[supertv247]

Just explaining this new format, because I’ve seen like 4 different variations now of people misunderstanding!
It’s simple, and it’s consistent

On Sundays, Housemates nominate and the 2 or more with the most nominations face eviction
The viewer nominates to save and the housemate with the least votes joins them in facing eviction
On Tuesdays, 6 people - the nominated housemates, plus richest housemate, plus whoever else the richest housemates picks - play the game changer (save and replace / power of veto) and the winner can save someone from facing eviction but does not have to
On Wednesday’s show, nominations are final and the vote is open for Friday’s eviction

I like it :)

So if a nominated person wins they can save themself?

Yep, it’s literally the format of PoV from the USA!

We love classic Big Brother

[armand.kay]

Also mess this will probably keep Isaac and Lewis G safe

[Jack_]

The viewer nomination being VTS is a great idea but also totally pointless cause that person is NEVER going to be evicted under VTE

We'd cull a bore every week if they just brought back VTS, can they use some logic please????

The true Game Changer is Sierra Dawn Thomas

Neda is coming?

...I’ve read about the game changer a few times this morning and still don’t understand how it all works..I’m being dumb...but it said from the beginning that more ‘power’ would be given to the public, which is never going to be true...BB always decide because they decide on the highlight show and the public will vote based on the highlights which are shown...always...I mean what else can we vote on..?...only what we see...

[GoldHeart]

I don't like it but we'll see :idc:

[kingston]

Serving back to basics

Not once has production said they were serving “back to basics”... That was nothing but fan/media speculation...

What we are seeing is a return to the “core values” of BB... They’ve stripped the show of the superficial and are attempting to build it back up again...

[BB-Germany]

Public nomination doesn't make sense with this voting form, as the most boring housemate won't go with a VTE.

Power of veto is an OK idea and will work with this lot, however it might mess up the show if a hated housemate is saved and a valuable one is put up instead.

[kingston]

We love classic Big Brother

I believe we are seeing “Classic BB”... You all are so wrapped up in insignificant and superficial things that you’re forgetting that twists in this format are a nessisary evil... BB has always had them and always will...

[thisisdanny]

Question: So if the winner of the task chooses to save someone, do they have to name a replacement? or are the ones that don't get saved the only ones nominated now?

BB is never perfect... Even if they stayed with the traditional nominations/eviction format there is always a chance boring or hated HM’s stay and interesting people go... It’s all in how nominations fall and where people stand in the house...

I agree that the public nominating doesn’t make sense... It’s a bit redundant as the public chose who is eveicted and could result in the same person being evicted at the end of the week... It defeats the purpose of this series being about competition and gameplay...

That said the ‘game changer’ fits perfectly within this theme... It’s the perfect way to spice up nominations and make evictions slightly less predictable...

[kingston]

No they are free to use the power how they wish... That includes not saving anyone...

This!

The Game Changer would make sense only if they brought back VTS :shrug:

[kingston]

Not sure I understand the connection here... VTS has nothing to do with whether the ‘game changer’ would work or not... The public nomination twist on the other hand might make it less likely the public would target their own nominee...

The peoples nomination is the housemate that gets the least 'votes to save'

So looking at this own forums poll of favourite housemate, Isaac is bottom of this poll. So if this poll reflects the general publics vote then Issac will be the peoples nomination


Once the final group of nominees are determined (after the Gamechanger),

it is a vote to evict

Looking at this forums poll for least favourite housemate, Issac tops this poll.

So if the general public's voting reflect this forums poll, then Issac will be evicted, because he is bottom of favourite housemate poll and tops least favourite housemate poll.

How is changing the nomination format at all classic BB.

Yeah a few twists a season to keep the show interesting work but this would be the second week in a row where it's not just a normal week. Even bb7 which was meant to be the 'twisted' season wasn't week after week of twist.

[annabelindabee]

I think they should take the two with the most votes from the housemates
and the two with the least votes from the public poll then there should be a game where they compete to save themselves along with the richest housemate who can save one of the four if they won...

I like that idea...

We aren’t talking about one off twists at random like you’re pretending it is... . What is being implemented is a twist that will play out over the series... It’s hardly “week after week of twist”... After this week the nominations process will just be the new “normal”...

That hadn’t even been promised? Like I’m pretty sure they insisted big coins will play a fundamental role in this series throughout

[Glenn.]

As long as it’s consistent each week then let them do it.

I have no idea what you’re talking about...

[Elliot]

I have no idea what you’re talking about...

Clearly you don’t considering you’re claiming back to back twists is the classical bb and back to basics literally everyone in this community has been asking for

[supertv247]

It’s not back to back twists if they consistently do it every week, it’s just a new element to the format.

[kingston]

The majority in this thread are the reason we in the BB community can’t have nice things... We’re at a point where people are outraged for the sake of being outraged... No doubt the same group would claim a completely stripped down series was boring if there were very minimal or no twists at all...

[kingston]

It’s not back to back twists if they consistently do it every week, it’s just a new element to the format.

Exactly... It’s not as if we haven’t had similar ‘twists’ in the past...

[kingston]

Clearly you don’t considering you’re claiming back to back twists is the classical bb and back to basics literally everyone in this community has been asking for

Not once have I said back to back twists is ‘classic’ BB... So don’t you dare put words in my mouth...

As for the second part of your comment I still have no idea what you’re on about... Clearly your blind rage is keeping you from forming a coherent sentence...

[Marsh.]

This.

The biggest problem with the show over the years has been an increase in unfairness and inconsistency. As long as the nomination/eviction process works like this for the remainder of the series, it's fine.

It's when they change the rules every week making the game completely unfair that it becomes a problem.

[y.winter]

What happens if one/two/all of the richest housemates are also to be nominated - will it be less than 6? Or are the richest housemates immune from noms (which sucks).

[Marsh.]

I thought that was the point of being the richest? It gives immunity?

[Morgan.]

The richest just gets to choose who plays in POV basically

I don't wan't a twist thats being implimented throught the series thats not what we were promissed. What classic big brother series had a format changing twist that stayed all season long?

[supertv247]

Only the ONE richest plays and chooses who else plays, I’m guessing if they’re nominated too then they just choose which 4 others play them and the other nominee

[Brother Leon]

Disagree. There’s a chance Isaac is up from the public and then out in a VTE anyway and I like the guy.

[kingston]

I don't wan't a twist thats being implimented throught the series thats not what we were promissed. What classic big brother series had a format changing twist that stayed all season long?

Most of the ‘classic’ BB twists (BB5, BB6, and BB7) were series long...

[JoshBB]

I hate it.

I just want normal noms + 2ormore going up, and it seems like we won't get that even ONCE under this format

[Marsh.]

Most of the ‘classic’ BB twists (BB5, BB6, and BB7) were series long...

What twist in 5, 6 and 7 was series long?

The majority of all season's were housemates each nominate 2 people in the diary room and the 2 or more with the most nominations faced the public vote, which was a vote to evict.

You're arguing for the sake of it at this point.

[armand.kay]

Sorry what? Are we talking about BBUK?

How? We don’t know if the viewer nomination is a weekly thing, so next week could be 2 up and that’s it. Or there might be no ‘replace’ after the save, so 3 up this week and 1 saved, so then 2 up..

[kingston]

Yes BBUK and I’ve already explained myself... It’s not my problem you chose to ignore my point...

[andybigbro]

Quite like the idea.

I quite liked BB11s save and replace so hopefully this is similar haha

[Elliot]

Yes BBUK and I’ve already explained myself... It’s not my problem you chose to ignore my point...

Explain then because I’ve read them and it still doesn’t explain

[Marsh.]

You don't have a point. You're ignoring the fact you are wrong and are making yourself look silly.

[kingston]

You don't have a point. You're ignoring the fact you are wrong and are making yourself look silly.

I have a point it’s just the simpletons in this thread think in too linilar a fashion... As for the way I look... I have no problems with the way I’m perceived on these forums...

[kingston]

Explain then because I’ve read them and it still doesn’t explain

If you want me to draw you a picture you’re barking up the wrong tree... I’m no artist...

So to make it 6 people if only 2 are nominated for eviction by the housemates where does the 6th one come from?

An if the housemates nominate 4 or more then it will be more than 6.

The 6 people bit doesn't fit.
