Format:
LIVE Nominations & LIVE Evictions
Nominations
All HMs will nominate on Days 4, 7, 11, 13, 15, 17, and 19. They will use 5 points to use for nominations. 4 or 3 points = First Nomination; 1 or 2 points = Second Nomination. The 3 or more HMs with the most points will be up for possible eviction on Days 6, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, and 21.

FNL
All HMs will possibly earn the power to double their own nomination points and a nominations twist. Only 1 HM will be successful in earning the power called the...Nominations Super Power. The "Nominations Super Power" is when the winner of FNL will have 10 points to use in any which way (6, 7, 8, or 9 points = First Nomination; 4, 3, 2, or 1 point = Second Nomination). The holder of the Super Power can double the points of anyone's nominations and use the twist on anyone else's nominations. When a housemate is evicted, they will be able to choose the next holder of the "Nominations Super Power".

Evictions
You the members of TiBB will vote through PMs with your votes. The voting will be Vote to SAVE and EVICT. The person with the least SAVE votes or most EVICT votes after the percentages are merged will be evicted. I highly suggest saving your favourites and evicting your least favourites.

5:46 is very specific

[Benjamin]

Having the applications open for 4 months is a bit excessive, lol.

[Josiah.]

I am opening applications now because it's better to have them open for almost 15 weeks instead of a week and a half.

[Jake.]

Or just open them a month before?

[T*]

That eye looks very tired. Just like me, as my cat kept meowing in my room and woke me up.

[T*]

But it's a very good simplistic eye.

[Jarrod]

TiBB BB starts before this and even I haven't opened auditions yet... Wow.

[T*]

Its not even October yet.

[Josiah.]

Okay, only 1 so far.

[Josiah.]

Okay, since I only have 1 applicant so far; I'm delaying the opening of applications until November 1st.

[MTVN]

Ignore them Josiah, I need a good 4 months to ponder my application

What's the hurry?

[Josiah.]

Okay, never mind about the applications delay.

[T*]

Surely just tease us and then open the apps in Jan?

Update to OP and applications:
Please make a video application if you want to. Big Brother really wants some newbies for LIVEWIRE 2. So, I will be taking applications (text and/or video) from now until January 7th (my birthday) at 5.46pm GMT.

..great titles Josiah, except I can only see them because there's something wrong with my sound atm but I'll listen a bit later...keep up the good work as they say...

[Josiah.]

Okay, I still have 1 applicant for LIVEWIRE 2. Please apply because I really want LIVEWIRE 2 to be a really great series with 14+ housemates and... I will be doing more than just the nominations/eviction shows this time, I'll be doing a BBBM-type show called Xtra Chat (without the phone calls and texts).

[Kate!]

Give it time Josiah, I'm sure people will apply, it's early days.

[Josiah.]

What you are about to see under the spoiler in this post is stuff essential to LIVEWIRE. It also might get you to apply.

Format:
LIVE Nominations & LIVE Evictions
Nominations
All HMs will nominate on Days 4, 7, 11, 13 (intruder eviction), 15, 17, 19, and 20. They will use 3 points to use for nominations. 4/3 points = First Nomination; 1/2 point = Second Nomination. The 3 or more HMs with the most points will be up for possible eviction on days 6, 9, 13, 17, 19, 21.

Nominations Super Power
Every evictee will choose one of their fellow housemates to receive the Nominations Super Power. The holder of the "Super Power" will be able to see the nominations tally board, have 10 nominations points to split (6/7/8/9 points = First Nomination; 4/3/2/1 points = Second Nomination), and double the points of another housemate's nominations. This will affect the outcome of nominations.

Evictions
You the members of TiBB will vote through PMs with your votes. The voting will be Vote to SAVE. The person with the least SAVE votes will be evicted. I highly suggest voting the boring housemates out. During the finale, you will be voting to WIN. The person with the most WIN votes will obviously win LIVEWIRE 2.

[Josiah.]

Okay, I know it sounds like I'm nagging (but I'm trying not to), but only 1 application for LIVEWIRE 2 is kinda heart-breaking. Time to go housemate-hunting. And remember, with your application; you CAN do it in video form if you want to (just follow the outline for the application, make the video and upload it to YouTube, then PM me your application video), I don't care which way you decide to do your application. But remember, applications close on my birthday (7 January) at 5.46pm.

[Vanessa]

Sounds good. I might apply for this.

[Josiah.]

When the evictee(s) is/are being revealed, it will be done in video form (like what Marc and Ben do for The Mole).
