And all I can say to that is FFS!!!

I have been told on good authority this is how it will work, with save for CBB, evict for normal BB.
Also if you check the terms and conditions on the website, you will notice it has terms for both 'save' and 'evict', so I can only presume what I am told is true.

Why do they keep fart arsing about with it?
And If they must fart arse about, surely it would be better to have evict on the celebrity series as it's only 3 weeks, so when we lose all the characters we won't have to stare at inanimate objects for too long, plus the housemates current fan base won't be able to mindlessly vote them (sam Essex)

I wouldn't mind so much but now they have 4/5 housemates up a week.
It will spell the death knell for the civilian series like it did on C4.

I'd hardly be surprised, it's clear they don't give a **** about how entertaining the civil version is as long as they ensure that their £££££££ housemates are in there until the end for CBB.

[chuff me dizzy]

BRILLIANT I prefer vote to evict

[Rob!]

I don't get why they're doing this. Having said that, vote to evict wasn't that disastrous during secrets and lies - plus if it had been vote to save, Dexter would have gone first

[Tregard]

Vote to Evict is not nearly as effective as Vote to Save, which many have been quite vocal about, but it probably was one of the reasons Dexter made it to 2nd, so I am conflicted.

Would definitely prefer VTS, though.

Tbh it worked well last series, for a change, we even managed to get Sophie out before the final.

The T&C's have had the save/Evict clause in them for a few years now.

This is true, I wouldn't trust it in the long term though.

Ginxter only kept surviving because who they were against always made a twat out of themselves that week. Jemima with dead baby gate, Jackie with her obsession for Callum etc.

[Gstar]

well BB6 was the best series ever and it had vote to evict, BB better do some nom fixing and manipulation to make our future black diva get to the final

[Sophiee]

I hate vote to evict so much there's just no logic in it at all because the bigger characters will (almost) always go first. I'd never spend money on evicting someone either unless it was head-to-head to save my favourite.

[Niamh.]

Ugh they finally got it exactly right by having Vote to save with 3 or more up eachtime, works so much better

I also don't see the logic in people moaning about vote to save, surely the housemate with the least support should go?
I believe more people will watch a show with housemates that they dislike more than people will watch a boring show!

Yes for the last series it didn't make much difference, that was until the final couple of weeks, where we ended up with yet another dire finale.

And Dexter would never have been up against Sallie and Gina in the first week had they not of let the PUBLIC decide the first set of nominees , another clanger from the production team !

I always wanted VTS but the last series when they changed it back to VTE did make Friday nights much more fun to watch. I don't really mind, I've never voted anyway

[zakman440]

Ew.

I hate it too, this sickens me when they muck about like this, for goodness sake have one or the other for both series.

[Beastie]

We will end up with a boring Big Brother final like BB11.

Gina wouldn't have gone whenever she was up in vote to save, and after the first couple neither would Dexter - the only result I can think of that would have changed is dexter in the first eviction, and Dan would have been saved in the safe house eviction.

exactly. the public should have never decided the first nominees because once again the bigger characters will get chosen. and in a vote to save sallie wouldn't have gone either she was easily the most entertaining just within the first week, she'd have been brilliant to watch progress throughout the weeks.

Good stuff, feel more motivated to vote (not that I do vote) someone I hate more than vote for someone I like. I bet they make alot more money from vote to evict, so it makes sense for them.

[DigitalSid]

Source?

[Vanessa]

I like vote to evict. It seems to work better on civilian BB.

i find the 'more money' thing dubious.
VTE encourages more of a 'witch hunt' type scenario against one or two housemates, so all the votes just end up going to them, where as vote to save would encourage people to split votes for the housemates they 'support' .
so basically i dont think money wise either is any more lucrative than the other.

but common sense wise, it should ALWAYS be vote to save, yeah some people dont like it, but so what?
you cant get fairer than 'housemate with the least votes gets evicted', im not sure any other Big Brother series on the planet still uses vote to evict do they?

its just a very dated system, and im almost certain, with hindsight, that endemol/channel 4 would never have used it if they could go back and start again.

it pretty much ruined every series bb7 onwards. (lets not even get started on the Nicki Grahame debacle!)
