The point is that they came up with that as a rule and it has been implemented from the start. Any housemate could have been taken out by it. That was fair, whether you regarded it is a good idea or not.

They've done worse than this in the past, and things that were actually to the detriment of the show too.

This is right up there with one of the most blatant attampts to manipulate the show on behalf of a certain housemate.

It is a gameshow...but (and this is a big but), it's totally different to Big Brother US and Canada. With no public vote

The fact this show has a public vote makes this far worse. The production team don't like how the public are voting, so they just change the format to save a particular housemate. That's disgraceful.

I would completely agree...for the most part I like very little interference, the game plays out naturally and that's that. But public votes? Eh, they more often than not have a negative affect on the series so anything that can be done to limit that, be my guest.

The public vote is one of the biggest parts of Big Brother. And it is the attempts to manipulate the public vote by changing things up like this to save certain characters that has alienated viewers over the years. You say the show has been improved by this but it hasn't. It's lost viewers because of this. And now it's got hardly any left and is being axed. You say you want little interference, and yet you've just shrugged your shoulders at an extraordinary example of interference designed to benefit one particular housemate over all of the others. It's hilarious what those left watching this crap will defend.
