Can anyone actually think of any valid reason why we were not told yesterday about it being a quad today?

Why wait until the next day to tell us?

I'm genuinely curious.

A) They think it'll come as a bigger 'surprise' to us
B) It was a last-minute decision...there's been lots of them this year
C) It's all one big scam

Smithy · 14-08-2010, 07:11 PM

Maybe they were debating between a triple or a quad eviction and they hadn't made the final decision.

Thats the only reason I can think of :/

Firewire · 14-08-2010, 07:13 PM

They probably waited until the voting started and looked at who was going out, and the person they wanted out was probably 4th to go, so they go "Quadruple eviction".

A. I dont think so really...would they risk this sort of backlash just for a 'surprise'?
B. Likely...actually some people are saying that they were waiting on the outcome of the free pass before deciding...usually I would say that was bollocks, but now I'm not so sure.
C. Also quite plausible

It took them an extra day to decide if they should evict one more? Quite doubtful :S

Also something I would usually laugh at, but I'm starting to believe now :/

I'll give you my honest answer and this is probably what happened.

Phil Edgar Jones or whoever it was woke up this morning and thought 'God we need to get rid of this lot and fast'

So he calls the other producers and tells them of a Quad Eviction, they thought it was genius and didn't think how pissed off we would all be and then informed the online community by putting it on C4 so pleased with themselves that they finally done a 'Twist' this series, when actually about 95% of the Big Brother Community are very pissed off it's not a vote to save as we all know, so it backfired right in their faces and the only way something could be done is if we get ofcom involved, how can we do this?

I think Jonathan is 100% SPOT ON there. They probably seen Dave as 4th to 5th in the vote and they have been determined to get him out.

I think they also want Josie to win the fat cow she is!!

Jack_ · 14-08-2010, 07:18 PM

You see it's amazing how much negative response is coming from this. Had this been a Vote to Save, I'd have been really excited.

This is a BB first, afterall. And I've always wanted them to do a triple...so a quadruple is even better. But ONLY if it's a Vote to Save.

They've completely ruined what would've been an amazing quadruple eviction.

Seeing Steve, JJ, Mario and Andrew/Dave all called out one after the other would've been brilliant...and the housemates wouldn't expect it either.

Actually, this is very likely.

Wow, talk about backfiring

I wonder if there are crisis meetings on now or something...or if they just dont actually care about this backlash :S

When is the eviction?

fingers · 14-08-2010, 07:24 PM

Obviously NO thought whatsoever went into the decision to have a single eviction on Friday, that would have left them 3 days to get the numbers down to a manageable size for Tuesday - but HOW? they could hardly have more phone voting they just got themselves in a godawful mess and came up with a godawful solution to get themselves out of it!

Well...they could have opened vote to win lines and done it the normal way.

Though, obviously they would have had to have some sort of disclaimer saying even if josie had the least votes(which is very unlikely anyway), she would not be leaving due to the free pass.

Could have got rid of 1/2 a night from friday. Sorted...

Kerry · 14-08-2010, 07:27 PM

I only just found out. It's going to make for a crap last 11 days

ILoveTRW · 14-08-2010, 07:28 PM

It was not a last minute decision.
They have put everyone up because normal noms wouldn't allow them to do a quad eviction.

I'm sure it would've - it would've just been 'the five or more housemates with the most nominations face the public vote'.

So why not announce that there would be multiple evictions, I'm fairly sure that Davina made it quite clear on air that it was a single eviction on Friday

There very well could be or will be it depends how many complaints they receive, I hope we hear how much they get or OfCom gets.

Does anyone know how to actually complain to OfCom?
I have to Channel 4 already.

Oh my god that would of been brilliant.

Oh god how amazing would that of been

This actually would of made me jump with excitment.

You can imagine it...

'The next person to be evicted from the Big Brother House IS... STEVE...JJ...ANDREW...MARIO!'

Like everytime she says a name we're all at home like 'GET IN THERE!' and throwing our fist in the air and the housemates are like crying and shocked.
But no it'll be different now

We all assumed Friday but I don't think they actually mentioned Friday but I imagine it is.

Davina definitely SAID Friday, on air!

Why would they put everyone up if they weren't planning a mass eviction though?

Yeah but Davina also didn't mention the Quad, Why?

Because the producers had no knowledge of the Quad until this morning when one of them thought it up while taking a sh*t or something.

But they could possibly have like 2 Evicted mid week and then 2 on Friday you know what I mean?

Probably unlikely but yeah.
