great news, now we can get rid of all the loud and annoying housemates

[*mazedsalv**]

Wouldn't be surprised considering BB14 evictions were a success ratings wise when compared to BB12 and BB13 evictions.

Bit I personally hate it. We were lucky we kept Gina and Dexter in the final 3!

[Jamesy]

BB14 evictions were down to luck more than anything else. Dexter and Gina being thrown into the safe house saved the series really. I think if that 'twist' never happened both of them would have been evicted very early on.

It helped that overall the cast was pretty good (minus Sam and Sophie - who are lovely people, but brought no entertainment value).

Lets not forget Sallie got evicted first too (sure she was an arrogant cow, but there was potential in the following weeks for some great moments).

But yeah, BB14 was very much down to luck half the time with some clever thinking by the task team and producers. Vote to evict could work for BB15 - although I have a worry that it might not work as beautifully as it did last year. Saying that, VTE was fine for C4...

[reece(:]

Vote to evict SUCKS.

[Braden]

As long as they put in the right sort of housemates it shouldn't matter otherwise.

VTE is much more exciting and amusing for me.

Totally agree.

Bang goes the big characters then.

[Josiah.]

I'd love if they did both VTS and VTE the way that BBAU did it.

BBaus ditched that though didn't they and now just use save.

I really don't understand what the problem is with voting to save, what's wrong with the housemate with more fans staying

Vote to evict has so many flaws we could be here forever discussing it.

I really hope they don't bring it back. Just leave it in the past and move on ffs !

[Z]

Nooooo I hope this isn't true, Vote To Save with minimum 3 housemates up for eviction is the way forward!

Has it? Anyone else able to confirm this ?

I have been told on good authority this is how it will work, with save for CBB, evict for normal BB.
Also if you check the terms and conditions on the website, you will notice it has terms for both 'save' and 'evict', so I can only presume what I am told is true.

Why do they keep fart arsing about with it?
And If they must fart arse about, surely it would be better to have evict on the celebrity series as it's only 3 weeks, so when we lose all the characters we won't have to stare at inanimate objects for too long, plus the housemates current fan base won't be able to mindlessly vote them (sam Essex)

I wouldn't mind so much but now they have 4/5 housemates up a week.
It will spell the death knell for the civilian series like it did on C4.

I say forget VTS or VTE, production team rig it and keep the best ones in

We'll see in the summer

It was luck for sure, I disagree with the Sallie thing she was restricting better housemates coming out of their shells and after a while I couldnt stand to watch her bullying people and ganging up on dexter. It went quicky from entertaining bitchiness to not nice to watch bullying.

VTE is fine as long as the voters are not retarded about it and evict the bores instead of the entertainment. Some years they get it right (BB1, BB3, BB5, BB6, BB14) and some years they get it really wrong. BB4 had the potential to be a great series but the public evicted the lively/entertaining ones (Sissy, Anoushka, Federico) over the bores and so we were left with a snooze fest.

[joeysteele]

I hate vote to evict, no matter how many are up it can be arranged for one housemate not liked by some but liked by a greater number to be got rid of by just having all the voting directed at them.

Vote to save ensures those who are liked stay in however it needs ,in my view, at least 4 up to work out right.
If you only have 2 or 3 housemates up for eviction then it is just like vote to evict anyway.

It will spoil the series from the start, for me anyway, if it is vote to evict.

[Benjamin]

Also VTE/VTS makes no difference. Sometimes the bores will be saved no matter what. Look at sam from this CBB, Sam from BB14 etc. Both survived until the final and each had the potential to be evicted; one in a VTS and one in VTE and yet they both survived.

I think it only makes a difference in the celebrity series. sam wouldn't have had a fanbase without being on towie and I very much doubt would've been saved in the normal show.

Sam Evans doesn't count because he's a fhittie.

[cheeky_monkey]

I like vote to save

[Headie]

I wanna see this 'source'.

Channel 5 know well and truly how much VTS is better for them, both in the views of the public and the profits made from it.

[RichardG]

We can find small problems with both voting systems. For example, if BB14 had a vote to save then Sallie most likely would have survived the first eviction and Dexter would have probably left. Equally, in this past CBB, Sam continuously survived with a vote to save despite being one of the most useless housemates we've ever had.

However, I'd say vote to save is far more reliable and 9 times out of 10 an entertaining housemate is more likely to be evicted in a VTE than they are in a VTS. To convert back to that voting system would frankly be ridiculous but I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if they did.

[Slevin]

yea there is problems in both but i prefer VTS. especially for the first week of last years series. then again that was the public decision and that was some horrid rancid **** they came up for the noms.

[Videostar]

It's simple, vote to save gives us better winners, vote to evict gives us the Sam's and Rachel's of this world.

Vote to evict ensures that all the interesting HM's that dare to do something or say anything in the house will be kicked out in the first few weeks...it's very rare that a Gina or a Dexter makes through to the final with this flawed voting system.

I don't want the haters to vote out my favourite HM, I want it to be fair and that only the supporters of the HM can vote for them.

[Jords]

VTS is more unpredictable, meaning the Friday show is more fun. Theyre idiots.

[Jords]

Id be interested in the stats behind the voting.

Im guessing VTS pulls more votes in the celeb edition because people want to keep their celebrity 'idols' in whereas in the civilian edition perhaps VTE pulls more votes because people bay for blood and arnt as influenced to keep a HM in whom they did not know beforehand.

For money it probably makes sense, for the quality of the show, not so much.
