Last week Jade and Joel got 3 nominations. Neither faced eviction.

This week Cristian and Nick got 2 nominations and are now facing the vote along with people who got 3 or more.

They wonder why viewers are left confused and fed up with them

[Kate!]

It's laughable.

[Withano]

So annoying, makes no sense

[Ashley.]

It's a stupid way to keep their favourites in the house. Bring back head-to-head evictions.

I don't mind how they do it. But to go from one rule to another each week depending on what suits you is so manipulative and unfair it's laughable

[Calderyon]

Only thing they have to say is: The people with the most nominations will be put up for eviction, but not say how many.

As BB can change rules anytime and anyway.

Which is dumb and idiotic. Which we have experience on.

It's just bollocks.

It is. And blatant manipulation. And unfortunately i know where they have got the idea from.

Adding that a cheap way to make more money, since more people up -> more votes to evict -> more money.

If whatever the twist is requires at least 6 housemates to face eviction then maybe thats why so many are up this week?? They could have explained it that way if it is but we'll just have to wait and see.

Ugh it's probably Jack choosing three housemates to save instead of one.

"Jack. We have changed the rules so that you can now split your immunity passes between more than one housemate. Before you exercise this power, how did you feel when Jade gave you a luxury shopping budget?"

Possibly. But this isn't the first time they've done this. The first time I can recall is when Jackie Travers was up for eviction even though she shouldn't have been. She then got evicted.

Most people didn't say a word on DS (who usually complain about these things) because nobody liked her

[Kate!]

Will Jack get to give an immunity again I wonder.

[Babayaro.]

It's a joke tbh.

[JoshBB]

They really need to pick one rule and stick with it. I suggest:

The 2 housemates with most noms going up (along with ties), or
The 3 housemates with most noms going up (along with ties also).

Having tons of HMs up is ridiculous imo

[Josy]

As well as the 'Big brother can change the rules at any time' there is also...

'The minimum number of people available for eviction each week may be changed without notice'

I always find it hilarious how irate people get over things like this when it's been the same for years.

If this next twist was preplanned then there may need to be a certain amount up for it to work.

No. It has not. There was a format that they very rarely strayed away from.

You can't watch things happen and then decide after the event what the rules are. That is blatant manipulation that just gives them a green card for even more manipulation than there usually is.

Go find a copy of the rules and read them...

And seriously BB or the producers have been changing rules and making decisions like this since day one which they are perfectly entitled to do due to the way they cover themselves with the most important rule of all, the only reason we have so much complaining about it now is because a large percentage of viewers now follow online too and want to know everything as soon as it happens.

If a twist needs a certain amount up to work then so be it.

No, they have not. How can you say that? The standard rules for nominations were always that 2 or more people with the most noms would face the public vote. The only time that was not the case was when there was a twist of some sort, usually announced to the viewers before nominations took place. That was how it was done on Channel 4 for years

Now they wait to see how people nominate and make the rules up depending on what the result is. That is blatant manipulation. And they do it now to a level they have never done before. It is shocking to see fans of the show defend them over it.

If a twist needs a certain amount up to work then so be it.

If it's about a twist then so be it. but they've done this a lot over the last couple of years. And once upon a time these twists would be announced before the nominations to the viewers.

As I said, you are giving them the freedom to get away with manipulating the show to a ridiculous degree that is and has been putting viewers off.

This isn't true at all. There's been times when there's only 2 up in a head to head, there's been times when anyone with 2 or more was up and there's been times when any hm that received only one nom or more was up.

They already have the freedom to do whatever they want...they always have which has resulted in some of the more ridiculous twists over the years.

But it's so unfair how one week you are safe with 2 nome the next you are up

The producers have also made it very clear that there will be a twist, and that the details of it will be announced today. I don't understand why people need to question and moan about the numbers when they are being told it will be explained today

(1) Because this is not the first time they've done it
(2) The twists should be explained in detail before the nominations even begin
(3) There will probably still be the question why the top 4 only and not Cristian and Nick aren't up

I'm wondering if you were ever part of the Edimol production team or perhaps applied for a job with them. You seem very bitter for a "fan"

[Jamesy]

Looking at social media a lot of people are confused why so many are up.

Would be nice if a rule was stuck by.

[bots]

As Josy says, people are making up rules that don't exist on the BB site. At a minimum this thread is a little premature as we haven't yet heard the details of the twist, they will be shared tomorrow at which time it may all become clear.

BB manipulate, thats how it is, thats how its always been, I think people have short memories
