- Shievonne going over Conor by a margin of about 80% (I mean they both sucked but come on)

I mean... there are 'some examples' and then there are 'some examples'.

Thank you! Even though I ended up being happy with some of those results, the hype around VTS is dumb as hell and it doesn't work like people expect it to. Like, more people phoned in to save Aden than Big Character Heaven. The only people that end up benefiting from VTS are like Conor and Jim Davidson and that's enough of an argument against it tbh.
Big Characters don't automatically equate to good characters and I think that's the biggest misconception. All of the big characters in BB12 sucked. The series was garbage because the storyline was tedious and uninteresting and the people behind it weren't likable or entertaining. In a situation like that, I'd much rather want a tertiary character like Alex to win because at least she had nothing to do with what made the series such a drag.
And for the idea that more than two people need to be nominated so they need to make it so that 2+ nominations and you're up or any nominations and you're up... the nominations process is a mess nowadays. Nominations used to be something to look forward to and used to actually reveal a lot about house dynamics and politics, but now it's just a cluster**** where half the house is going to get nominated as a result of inconsistent rules or a ridiculous twist and it really doesn't matter what you do at all. You're more likely to be nominated out of random chance than for anything you actually did and that's the whole point of nominations in the first place.
