Absolutely, the odd week now and then was okay but all the time,no way.

Well, that is thoughful with long words - I just think talking noms every 5 seconds ruins any pretence it is not really another show. NOT BB

If you enjoy it then fine

I am a bit surprised they don't edit out more of the nom-related talk, since they have that option, but perhaps they will when it becomes less of a novelty (and especially if the feedback on it is poor).

Housemates have always discussed nominations. The only difference is that now they don't get punished for it. Maybe Big Brother just gave up on it?

I think that is exactly the case. What they really need is the legal clout to introduce whippings for serious infractions.

It think it's good as long as it doesn't turn into just 1 group in complete control picking off everyone else one by one. that would be boring. Aslong as there are different groups fighting eachother and the power going back and forth, it is interesting. BUt when it's just one group in complete control it kills the show.

That's why BB US is good, a single HoH who can be swayed and decisions can be easily changed
