I've never really understood the love for VTS. I don't vote. But I can imagine when your voting, you vote for the person you like, in a VTS, or the person you least like in a VTE, not the person who is on screen longer.

VTS isn't even good at keeping the big characters, TBH.
In CBB14, Frenchy was evicted in a Vote to Save, with almost the entire house up alongside her.

In CBB15, Calum (all though I like him) obviously got the most amount votes by a landslide, leaving Alicia, Perez, and Nadia fighting with just 1% between them. All of which were much bigger characters than Calum.

VTS doesn't keep the entertaining ones in. It keeps the ones with the biggest fan bases. You can't guarantee that just because someone is on screen more than another housemate, they will be saved. They may have a smaller fan base, and therefore be evicted.

Why do you think TOWIE/MIC/GS contestants do quite well. It's cause they have big fan bases voting to keep them in, not because they're entertaining.

VTS suxs.

I don't mind it for CBB, but BB must be VTE.

I like the idea of Who goes, you decide, rather than Who stays, you decide.

But you have just reasoned why VTS is not good for CBB.
Regular BB housemates don't have fan bases like the celebs have - one week they're awesome and the next day you chant them out, it's the deeper they go in the process that's when fan bases are formed (as opposed to the celebs who you basically "know" from pre-CBB).

VTS and VTE each have their pros and cons - sometimes they fail to deliver and sometimes they succeed, it's not an exact science.
I think VTS is good because it mostly doesn't give the meh hms to go on further in the house, while VTE just risks the biggest characters.
No doubt VTE is more exciting cause it has the fight-for-survival suspense effect, but I personally prefer VTS as a much safer way to keep my favs.
