Default could u accidentally vote for the wrong person?

I think this has happened before, you think you're voting to SAVE a housemate, and it turns out you're voting to EVICT them. Watching BBLB earlier it did occur to me it was'nt exactly clear .. the message came up " TO VOTE FOR" ( followed by the housemates name .. and i thought, .. "Is that to evict, or to save"???????????. I'm sure you're voting who you want to EVICT, but it could be misconstrued as voting to SAVE someone.
Or is it just me?????

Yeah. People could get confuzzled. It usually says "To evict..". I wonder why it says "To Vote for.."? Maybe they figured that evryone knows the format now.

it would save any confusion if they just put " TO EVICT...." instead of "TO VOTE FOR" .. as voting for someone implies you like them.


ps.. i am easily confused

They shouldn't assume prior knowledge of voting.

OMG, dont say that!!! ... imagine spending Ł40, or Ł50 on voting to evict a housemate you loathe and detest, and it turns out you've voted FOR them.

IMO its clear enough. You are voting for the person you want to be in the bottom 2. The gurus will then decide who is evicted.

They cannot say 'Vote to evict' because you are NOT voting to evict the person. Even the person you vote for gets the majority of votes, it does not mean they will be evicted because ultimately the gurus will be deciding.

Once again, you are voting for who you want to see facing the gurus decision.

It says 'To Vote To' as the final decision to evict isn't up to us.
