Personally I feel that its a 'twist' that is in perfect keeping with the rest of the series.

It started with the free pass with was always going to be a disaster. I haven't seen Fridays yet, but I assume that they did it in front of each other, (I fear they may have also done it in alphabetical order, with Andrew first, the first vote was always going to be Josie, and then the others will fall in line behind. Not as bad as they would do in a eviction moment (re: Vanessa? and Makosi) but it certainly helps the first person to get through, if it looks like they will better to support them than go against them).

The idea though was ok, but with the housemates in there the outcome was only really going to be between Josie and Steve. Though why they'd chose Josie is lost on me.

This coupled with the four evictions just makes it worse, remove one of the housemates from the slaughter and then throw the rest onto the voters.

I don't think Jo was evicted because she was dull, I do think it had more to do with the bitching or voicing an opinion. Coupled with the wanting to leave.

So now, like you said, the bigger characters will end, and I doubt it will be the end we hoped for. I wanted John James out for a while, (for morality reasons than entertainment reasons - frankly I'd rather have my morals and watch people that cause less drama). Yet, now I feel that the eviction will be rushed and little will be made of everything that has gone on in the past (and even worse the interview might entirely be about Josie).

I fear you are right in the predictions. Its a perfect end to a season that had so much to offer from the end of the last one, one that day by day has gotten worse and now is looming near the cliff edge of being beyond a joke.

That said, with the way people's attitudes have become over BB, the way the winners are becoming less and less worthy or chosen because of whom they are, and their attitude to the BB time but now more a popularity contest. This twist could just prove to be another nail driven in firmly to its coffin. As sad as I will be to see it end, maybe its for the best. Another season, even on another channel will have the same results with the way people choose their favourites.

I have never really supported a housemate, its not a blindly followed thing like a football team, these are people, however demented they are, and the way they are with other people and their attitudes are the more important thing. Something that seems to have been forgotten.
