Am I voting to save or evict in Big Brother?
Unless otherwise directed, you will be voting to SAVE a Housemate. In the final, you will be voting for the Housemate you want to WIN.

When do vote lines open and close?
Vote lines are opened at the discretion of the editorial team and may open outside programme times. Notifications may be posted on bigbrother.channel5.com, the Big Brother app, Facebook and/or Twitter to advise that the Vote is open. An announcement will also be made on air. Vote lines will be frozen or closed at the times specified on the programmes. Please do not vote before the Vote has opened or after the Vote has frozen or closed, as your vote will not be counted but you may still be charged. Please be aware voting times may change.

I hope this is true. Although it's possible they've not updated their FAQ, they've updated everything else on the website so I don't see why not.

By being boring

We should have campaigned against Ash to be evicted and not Winston, Winston would have divided the Helen vote and possibly resulted in Ashleigh winning. I'm just being wishful, of course

[MB.]

We can only hope.

[Babayaro.]

VTE should always be used for civillian imo but I suppose VTS does keep the 'characters' in

[reece(:]

Good for them to bring it back for Charley's reappearance.

Here for another fake eviction when she's bound to be evicted

[Calderyon]

Naah... It was the same situation last year. The save thing was there before the start of the season. They probably haven´t updated it yet.

It will probably be changed to evict after the new web site is launched.

The new website has been launched which is why I posted the thread. Would be unprofessional of them not to update the FAQ (which probably means you're right )

Meh it could work. I've started to realise recently it's not all its cracked up to be. Only major incident that i loved was Kirk and Sonia going over Nicola and the twins and for Speidi. Not over queen Patsy going over Cami.

yeah I really never understood people who have strong preferences for VTS because it's not even good at keeping ~the big characters~ in lmao you're gonna get good and bad results with whatever voting system is used

[Will.]

If its a new website then it should be VTS I guess!!

This, Biannca was clearly the biggest character of the 3 and she still got the least votes.

Yes, and in BB13.
The first eviction, Conor got a massive 65%, leaving Victoria and Lydia battling out with a modest 17%.

I don't remember Conor being entertaining at all in the first week, to warrant having such a massive landslide of votes to save.

VTS encourages the "tween vote".

Airtime =/= votes

If anything Bianca had the most airtime

...yes, that's what I said. Airtime doesn't equal votes.

Biannca had more life in her 3 day stint than most of the cast put together though which was a shame.

[Headie]

If they do Vote to Save then it means they can "rewind time" and bring back evicted housemates as no one 'voted to evict' them

[Jason.]

Those T&C's are always updated last minute. Take with a pinch of salt.

Vote to Evict gets them the most revenue for Big Brother - whilst Vote to Save means they can milk the revenue from the fan bases of the celebrities.

I've never really understood the love for VTS. I don't vote. But I can imagine when your voting, you vote for the person you like, in a VTS, or the person you least like in a VTE, not the person who is on screen longer.

VTS isn't even good at keeping the big characters, TBH.
In CBB14, Frenchy was evicted in a Vote to Save, with almost the entire house up alongside her.

In CBB15, Calum (all though I like him) obviously got the most amount votes by a landslide, leaving Alicia, Perez, and Nadia fighting with just 1% between them. All of which were much bigger characters than Calum.

VTS doesn't keep the entertaining ones in. It keeps the ones with the biggest fan bases. You can't guarantee that just because someone is on screen more than another housemate, they will be saved. They may have a smaller fan base, and therefore be evicted.

Why do you think TOWIE/MIC/GS contestants do quite well. It's cause they have big fan bases voting to keep them in, not because they're entertaining.

VTS suxs.

I don't mind it for CBB, but BB must be VTE.

I like the idea of Who goes, you decide, rather than Who stays, you decide.
