The ratings were down this year, the housemates were being nice and polite to each other - so BB just had to up the stakes and has done so spectacularly.

On the basis of that logic I suppose BB could change the rule and could decide instead of evicting housmates to HANG them instead. Another spectacular triumph for the planners.........

The point is there are rule changes that are acceptable and sensible and there are rule changes that are stupid and unacceptable in any fair legitimate game.

If Jon had not declared that he has positive preferences and was instead neutral then that would not be so bad. But under the circumstances BB are allowing blatent and deliberate interference with the end result.

I suppose one good word for channel 4 would be that normally they try to manipulte a certain outcome on the sly via BBLB and biased guests all gunning for the same person instead of providing propper balance, the viewers are encouraged to follow theie band waggon instincts.. This time CH4 have done it bold as brass.
