It's now been officially confirmed on Big Brother's Bit On The Side that the housemates' friends and family will be nominating on behalf of them. Are you happy about this?

[smeagol]

ask me when i know whos up lol

could be intresting now ive thought about it.

[Vicky.]

No. Hated it last year too

[Black Dagger]

If I had faith in Sara/Scott's representative nominating insiders, which I'm 99% sure they won't, I might be k.

But I just know the result will likely be Deana/Luke A/Adam

It all depends on how Sara/Scott play it, as I'm confident that the outsider's will all go for the same... but will be outnumbered by Lushleigh/Becky/Conor's reps and probably Scott/Sara's as well.

[reece(:]

If Luke A,Deana and ADam are up I hope the white room takes them and makes them all immune!

[Jordan.]

No, it's just a pointless attempt at creating drama + any outside influence pisses me off.

[Gillian-73]

No, bad idea last year and just as bad this time.

[cookiemonster]

i don't care because i don't think it'll put Scott in danger

[Mullally01]

I think it's brilliant. Got back from London this afternoon after spending the weekend with all the friends and families who are all very nice. Also had a few drinks with Lauren and shivonne who are also very nice. Just to confirm, shiv is crackers, conners girlfriend is brilliant, Sara's mum is awesome and Scott's mum and sis are the nicest people

[alex_front2]

F n F know who favs are so will vote tactfully

Eg Beckys mum may hate Conor and how he treays her like a performing seal but knows Luke A and Deana are favs to win.

[Munchkins]

Worst twist in existence
absolutely sucks

[Mullally01]

Just before you all start speculating, luke a's wife and brother were very nice as was Ashleigh's dad and friend and Luke s's mum and sister

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I think its absolutley pathetic and unimaginative that the producers repeat the same nominations "Twist" twice in less than 12 months.

[joeysteele]

No, I detested it last year and hate the idea even more this year,however they said on bbbots that the idea was welcomed by those on twitter or whatever.
I find that hard to believe.

Awful idea and a wrong one too.

[Videostar]

No, it was a crap twist last year too, it's old now.

And Conor and Luke S families shouldn't be allowed to nominate for them as they broke BB rules over discussing noms.

This.

[MrWong]

No. It was sh!t last year and it'll be sh!t this year.

I don't care about what the family thinks. Especially if they are as odious as the housemate they are nominating for. Conor's, Becky's, Ashtrays

The sweaty box was lying when they said the twist is popular on Twitter.

[art_apples]

I think it's a ridiculous idea, just when the house has an interesting balance between the two sides they throw this rubbish idea in the mix.

[Kazanne]

no because if the parents who vote have spawned such vile kids,they will obviously be vile themselves and just vote the competition out which will be any of the outsiders,as they know one of them would win otherwise,so it's likely the nicest HMs will be up,Luke ,adam,deana,sara .

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh,what a fantastic idea,but only if it's them,lol

[art_apples]

I wonder if any of the friends and family have met up with each other (in the eviction shows for example) and swapped numbers in the past.... they could quite possibly ring each other now and collude a combined strategy for their votes.

Why on earth would we be speculating , we're only interested in the housemates.

[Vicky.]

Another thing I dont like about the families nominating...is it opens them up for criticism on the forums...because they are part of the show then. And some FMs cant handle that.

I remember last year we had a terrible time trying to sort it all out

[smudgie]

I voted yes, it will make a change.
The voting in the house is so predictable. Wonder if any of the friends and family have a gameplan

[Jack_]

Not really, it was dull last year and it'll more than likely be the same this year. Mind you though, I'm the opposite in that if it means it'll save the insiders who let's be honest are keeping the show afloat, then maybe it'll be a good thing.

The only plus side will be if it creates tensions i.e. if Ashleigh's family nominate Luke S and reveal all about that task he had, stuff like that...
