That's true.

that depends on your mindset. what if you are wanting 1 person out of 4 nominees to stay, and couldnt care less about the other 3?

personally i dont think it would be much of an issue if the process stayed as 2 housemates up for eviction each week, but they seem to have changed that now.

and i have just noticed this thread: http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/foru...d.php?t=250228 so perhaps it is VTS after all and this whole current thread we are posting in is just redundant and pointless

Every chance

Ew.

[King Gizzard]

Good stuff, feel more motivated to vote (not that I do vote) someone I hate more than vote for someone I like. I bet they make alot more money from vote to evict, so it makes sense for them.

I like vote to evict. It seems to work better on civilian BB.

i find the 'more money' thing dubious.
VTE encourages more of a 'witch hunt' type scenario against one or two housemates, so all the votes just end up going to them, where as vote to save would encourage people to split votes for the housemates they 'support' .
so basically i dont think money wise either is any more lucrative than the other.

but common sense wise, it should ALWAYS be vote to save, yeah some people dont like it, but so what?
you cant get fairer than 'housemate with the least votes gets evicted', im not sure any other Big Brother series on the planet still uses vote to evict do they?

its just a very dated system, and im almost certain, with hindsight, that endemol/channel 4 would never have used it if they could go back and start again.

it pretty much ruined every series bb7 onwards. (lets not even get started on the Nicki Grahame debacle!)

I like vote to save

[Videostar]

It's simple, vote to save gives us better winners, vote to evict gives us the Sam's and Rachel's of this world.

Vote to evict ensures that all the interesting HM's that dare to do something or say anything in the house will be kicked out in the first few weeks...it's very rare that a Gina or a Dexter makes through to the final with this flawed voting system.

I don't want the haters to vote out my favourite HM, I want it to be fair and that only the supporters of the HM can vote for them.

[Roy Mars III]

great news, now we can get rid of all the loud and annoying housemates

[*mazedsalv**]

Wouldn't be surprised considering BB14 evictions were a success ratings wise when compared to BB12 and BB13 evictions.

Bit I personally hate it. We were lucky we kept Gina and Dexter in the final 3!

[Jamesy]

BB14 evictions were down to luck more than anything else. Dexter and Gina being thrown into the safe house saved the series really. I think if that 'twist' never happened both of them would have been evicted very early on.

It helped that overall the cast was pretty good (minus Sam and Sophie - who are lovely people, but brought no entertainment value).

Lets not forget Sallie got evicted first too (sure she was an arrogant cow, but there was potential in the following weeks for some great moments).

But yeah, BB14 was very much down to luck half the time with some clever thinking by the task team and producers. Vote to evict could work for BB15 - although I have a worry that it might not work as beautifully as it did last year. Saying that, VTE was fine for C4...

It was luck for sure, I disagree with the Sallie thing she was restricting better housemates coming out of their shells and after a while I couldnt stand to watch her bullying people and ganging up on dexter. It went quicky from entertaining bitchiness to not nice to watch bullying.

[reece(:]

Vote to evict SUCKS.

[Braden]

As long as they put in the right sort of housemates it shouldn't matter otherwise.

VTE is much more exciting and amusing for me.

[Josiah.]

I'd love if they did both VTS and VTE the way that BBAU did it.

BBaus ditched that though didn't they and now just use save.

I really don't understand what the problem is with voting to save, what's wrong with the housemate with more fans staying

Vote to evict has so many flaws we could be here forever discussing it.

I really hope they don't bring it back. Just leave it in the past and move on ffs !

[Z]

Nooooo I hope this isn't true, Vote To Save with minimum 3 housemates up for eviction is the way forward!

I have been told on good authority this is how it will work, with save for CBB, evict for normal BB.
Also if you check the terms and conditions on the website, you will notice it has terms for both 'save' and 'evict', so I can only presume what I am told is true.

Why do they keep fart arsing about with it?
And If they must fart arse about, surely it would be better to have evict on the celebrity series as it's only 3 weeks, so when we lose all the characters we won't have to stare at inanimate objects for too long, plus the housemates current fan base won't be able to mindlessly vote them (sam Essex)

I wouldn't mind so much but now they have 4/5 housemates up a week.
It will spell the death knell for the civilian series like it did on C4.

I say forget VTS or VTE, production team rig it and keep the best ones in

We'll see in the summer

VTE is fine as long as the voters are not retarded about it and evict the bores instead of the entertainment. Some years they get it right (BB1, BB3, BB5, BB6, BB14) and some years they get it really wrong. BB4 had the potential to be a great series but the public evicted the lively/entertaining ones (Sissy, Anoushka, Federico) over the bores and so we were left with a snooze fest.

[joeysteele]

I hate vote to evict, no matter how many are up it can be arranged for one housemate not liked by some but liked by a greater number to be got rid of by just having all the voting directed at them.

Vote to save ensures those who are liked stay in however it needs ,in my view, at least 4 up to work out right.
If you only have 2 or 3 housemates up for eviction then it is just like vote to evict anyway.

It will spoil the series from the start, for me anyway, if it is vote to evict.

[Benjamin]

Also VTE/VTS makes no difference. Sometimes the bores will be saved no matter what. Look at sam from this CBB, Sam from BB14 etc. Both survived until the final and each had the potential to be evicted; one in a VTS and one in VTE and yet they both survived.
