For the first round of voting in Australian Big Brother, the producers thought a change of voting would be a good idea.

The new system worked as follows:

A voting housmate had to give 2 points for his/her least favourite fellow housemate, and 1 point for the next least favourite.

In addition they had to give 2 points to his or her favourite and 1 point to the next favourite.

In an added twist (it was claimed to prevent tactical voting) they only counted the votes for favourites, with the ones with the fewest votes (i.e. none) getting nominated.

This resulted in 5 people up for nomination.

It has been reported that the UK producers are using Aussie BB as a model for this country's show, so do you think they could adopt a similar system here?

And would it be any good?
