A really minor gripe
 
I know this is nothing in the grand scheme of things but I wish when they did the noms reveal they wouldn't preface it with 'there are x housemates nominated for eviction this week' :nono: it takes away the whole suspense of the continuous 'and...' thing

What do you think to the reveals being alphabetical? I like the those that actually know the alphabet try to hide how relieved they are when their letter is skipped.

Alphabetical order is the traditional way and should never have been changed so I'm all for that, I just think revealing how many people are up beforehand takes away the suspense of all the 'ands', and wondering if there's gonna be any more names called out

I actually agree.

I hate the old "and..." thing it was great when it happened in BB7 and like 5 people were up I also preferred it when it wasn't in alphabetical order so the reactions were far better. Now its just over used not to mention grammatically incorrect :hehe:

^ but the suspense is taken away for everyone named something beginning from A through M as soon as like Norman or something is nominated. Like the ‘ands’ doesn’t matter for anybody but Zoe really!

I’d personally vote for stop the alphabetical order and stop the ‘x number of hms’ reveal, but its a minor issue for me too.

That is true, but alphabetical order is classic! Combining it with 'there are x housemates nominated this week' is silly though cause then they can just count how many are left. If they went 'Anamelia...and...Brooke...and...' then no one would know how far down the list they're gonna get :laugh:

Also they used to leave such long pauses that sometimes when they gave the last name and didn't say anything after they'd sit there for ages in silence before someone clocked and was like '...so is that it then?' :joker:

That is a really minor gripe

But then if they went ‘Sian... and...’ 70% of the housemates already know they’re safe!

If you want tension you need to get rid of the alphabetical thing despite its classic-status.

(I’m really not complaining though, i still like it every way haha)

Good point jack.

It sucks, and it was a stupid decision that wasn't thought out at all... Probably didn't even think about the little bit of drama that causes.

This is an example of what I mean, look how long they dragged it out :flutter:

2:40



I also miss the live reveals but that's a whole different thing

Maybe it's still like that live but we never see it.
