Are the NEW HMs gonna be "lambs to the slaughter" with the S&R Task?
 

I'm just thinking with this S&R Task that all the NEW HMs are gonna be in real danger here. It would seem the easiest and least controversial decision for any of the HMs to replace themselves with one of the new HMs. What do you think? is there any chance that the Task winner will not pick a "New" HM?

Sensible point - Keeley is probabaly up whether nominated or S&R

The other 2 are fine as they originals are so thick they won't target them (as has happened previous series)

Agree?

EDIT: if Keeley is already up, a S&R original might go Rachel "I don't know you so well"

Yep..i totally agree Keely will most likely be up. But i still think even if she wins the S&R task she'd be more likely to select Rach or Andy rather than ruffle "other" feathers...what do you think?

Knowing what WE know Kelley should pick Steve (political in that she can say he'll never go, but we know lots of dislike). That would be my guess in S&R if she won.

I think Keeva is out next regardless - I kinda like her now but guess the public will have lots of stored hatred.

So I think Keeva vs Keeley - any others is mix such as JJ or Dave would survive in a multiple

Thoughts?

Hmm...i still couldn't see Keely picking Steve over Rach or Andy. The name of the game for new HMs is to try and rapidly integrate with the original group. Also, if she's done any homework at all (and i assume she has), she knows that Steve is not that popular on the outside (as opposed to what the orig HMs think), so he may not be actually safe depending on who else is up.

Yeah, maybe Ben or Rach could get nommed as well.

i think andrew is safe, but save and trplace might be the saving of the other two

Unless Keeley is brain dead she will pick one of the favourites in the house - after all she wants to WIN at all costs, so has to eliminate the competition. Would really start to like her if she had the guts to pick Josie or JJ, but suspect she would pick Ben.

Wonder when she's going to start "shaking up" the house - we're all still waiting.:roll eyes:

Keeley, Dave, JJ

I actually think Caoimhe could avoid being up this week, especially now Ife's vote is gone. Realistically only Mario and Corin would nominate her, even Corin isn't a sure thing. But if Keeley wins S*R [assuming she'll almost certainly be up] than I'd say she'll choose Caoimhe on 'I havent gotten to know you as well as others' grounds.

I'm not convinced putting up "favourites" is a great strategy anyways... eg. not much point putting Ben, JJ or Josie Vs Caoimhe, as example. I doubt she'd pick Ben, she's snuggled up in bed with him as we speak...and they seem to get along, i guess it's possible she'd pick JJ or Josie, but i still think it's unlikely.

*Probably the only way she could take out a favourite is if it's a two horse race and either her and Ben or her and JJ nommed (pretty unlikely). Then she pits JJ vs Josie or Ben vs JJ or Ben vs Josie.

Yep, it's handy for Caoimhe that Ife has gone now. Other than Mario & Corin, i still think there's more possible votes coming her way from either the new HMs, Ben or Dave. If there's a few smart ones in there, they should know that Keeley is gonna attract heaps of votes anyways, so no point wasting a vote on her!

I think BB should do away with S&R - now that the HM are expecting it.......deliberately not doing it would shake their minds up

It was an interesting twist when it was a surprise, but don't see why they need to do it all the time.

Am I the only one who thinks this?

Yep i agree, i think they should either get rid of the S&R for at very least this week, or concoct some other "twist" to surprise them with. New HMs always have a major disadvantage coming in late when bonds have already formed, this just makes survival chances worse for them...imho.

I hope Keeva is up! Once she is up.. she will probably go.

With Ben going into a bitchfest overdrive as usual pre nominations it'll be Caoimhe and JJ up.

I reckon if JJ wins S&R he'll put up Keeley. If Caoimhe wins she'll have plenty to choose from as everyones ignoring her but i think she'll settle for Dave.

Have you watched any LF today?

Ben has been dripping poison in everyones ears about Caoimhe. Ben and Dave have slagged her off, to Keeley, Rachel, Corin, Mario, Steve and Josie so far.

All because she didn't back him in last nights row with JJ. :rolleyes:

if the newbies band together they may not even be up cos all the rest dislike at least one of the originals

I'm hoping for a JJ v Caoimhe , altho i dont expect it , just to see if JJ throws the task again so he doesn't have to openly pick 1 person cos he is far too big a coward for that
