Did someone not mention on here that it was "anybody that gets nominated is up".
I wonder if that was the twist that we never got to hear about.
That would make sense, only other reason for it would have been a double fiction.

Especially now Daley's been kicked out, even if they were planning a double, they've probably scrapped it now

I'm sure we would have been told about that, and the housemates would have.

Yeah, all seems a bit up in the air this week.

[Vicky.]

I think the twist was going to be that only Hazel and Daleys nominations counted.

[Marc]

Doesn't make sense at all

Edit: not to your post Vicky

[Vicky.]

Because the housemates nominating this week seemed to be a last minute thing, they left it really late..I'm sure they usually nom on a sunday

[Novo]

because they predicted who Daley was going to nominate as well and added his votes, sounds reasonable

[Vicky.]

Hazel said on LF that they had 'eliminated' Dexter and Callum. And Dexter replied with something along the lines of 'thanks for another week off'

So it had to be Daley and Hazel having all the power this week...

[Marc]

I just need some clarity

Yes, it all makes sense. I think that was the original plan. Just wondering why the need for 5 this week when the last 2 did not even have the same amount of norms.

I'd understand (maybe just a tiny bit) if it was a double..

See this is it. If its not a double..they have definitely not done it to save Gina or Dexter, as neither would have left against Callum.

So (assuming its not a double) either they are protecting Callum for some reason, which is unlikely.. they want Jackie/twins out for some reason, again unlikely..or they have just changed the rules to 2+ noms up.

I think that whoever got a nomination was up. I'm trying to find if at any point it said that.

I don't think they've ever said what their logic behind who was up was at all, which makes me suspicious of them changing things whenever it suits them

According to DS, Emma said a few weeks back that those with 2+ were up. I dont watch BOTS usually though so don't know if this is true or not.

Had that week been a head to head, or even 3 way, no way would she have gone.

Yeah this is exactly right; votes get diluted when there are more people up in a vote to evict so the controversial housemates end up being evicted with a lower overall percentage than anyone being evicted in a head to head, for the most part. If it was a head to head then the fans of a controversial housemate would vote like mad for the other person to be evicted; but if it's a three way then fans of the controversial housemate have to divide their votes to evict between two people or hope that they all focus on one particular housemate... and unless every voting fan of the controversial housemate is willing to spend more than they usually do, that means less votes are going to any one particular housemate and more chance that the haters will succeed, because their voting is aimed solely at the controversial housemate.

That would actually make a lot of sense, because before now any housemate who has 2 or more nominations would have been up regardless as they had the highest. So I guess if this is true then this is the first time it has made it seem odd.

Had it been just Gina Dexter and Callum this week, it would be almost a certainty that Callum would go.

I agree, It's also what got Sam Pepper evicted

ah ok, I must have missed that one

Interesting. It seems that this week your BB has ripped a page on our BB´s handbook in terms of deciding the number of people up for eviction. In our series 4-8, we never were sure how many HM would be up for eviction and even a person that got a one single nomination or two was in danger. In fact, it has happened. It was infuriating, cause it was clear that BB protected some housemates more than the others.

This is not a good thing. Kind of disappointing really, as i thought BB UK was constant in terms of the rule regarding "how many people are up".

Only Dexter, Gina and Callum should be nominated. And i think, it´s clear that this has been done to save Dexter or Gina or both for that manner. I know this because, it has happened so, so many times in our BB, that you learn to spot the signs.

Gutted.

Gina and twins had 3 votes each tho.

Gina had 4. Sam, Hazel, Dexter and Jackie all voted for her.

I really don;t think it has been done to save Gina or Dexter. callum would have gone over these two, and by a long shot.
