I'm not talking about what time lines are opened at, I'm referring to putting a housemate up for eviction after voting has already started. Which has happened in the past, but I think isn't something BB will do anymore...

Example: Lauren and Luke A are up for eviction and voting begins. A few days later another housemate breaks the rules. I really think that regardless of the rule breaks Big Brother won't put that other housemate up for eviction, because it creates a legal and accountability issue. Because a) people already spent money voting based on only two nominations, and b) it creates an unfair advantage as two of the nominees will have a few extra days of votes. The only way BB could probably actually get away with it, is if they refunded all the money and cancelled the initial votes, and started again from scratch once the punished housemate went up. Which I doubt they really care to do.

Think about it, we've had a crazy amount of rule breaks this series. Not once has one been put up.
