The UK public aren't getting it wrong, the fact the majority voted those people out shows that most of us wanted them out. How is that wrong? It's a fair diplomatic assessment as to see how many want a particular housemate to go.

[blisstheassassin]

I think that the right one is going to go this week.
I just find Nicky dull and bring (just my opinion though).

[Ross]

I agree.

All the housemates evicted, I've liked so far. All 4 of them.
And if Nicky goes, that's 5. Then I only like 3 Housemates in there.. Charley, Tracey and Brian.

It's wrong because people vote to keep the nice people in which is not what Big Brother's about (unless of course you want to watch the Brady Bunch).

They're hardly going to vote to evict someone they want to keep, are they?

The reason why I say they are getting it wrong, is because they regret evicting the in the aftermath. They vote with a passion, because someone got on their nerves, but once they are gone, nost of those voters think I wish I didnt do that. The fact that a housemate brings out those emotions in you is the reason why they shouldnt be evicted, but in the heat of the moment people dont think of later. If in the end all the housemates dont annoy you, it becomes boring really fast. Ziggy, and Chanelle annoy me, but I definitely dont want them evicted yet, because it wont be the same without them!

I suppose.

LOL thanks! "Can he swing from a web, no he can't 'cos he's a pig"

I cannot wait for Nicky to go on Friday!

Shabs shouldn't have gone though

[aj2463]

Some of the public just don't have a clue when it comes to entertainment. They just get out who They hate and then the show is boring

Dont make me virtual slap you Lauren LMAO just kidding But yes there getting it wrong by evicting beloced Nicky

[Meerkat]

Well if nicky goes this week then the public have it right.

[GabrielleisLove]

Well I think almost every week the wrong person has gone.

Eviction 1 - Shabnam (should have been Tracey)
Eviction 2 - Seany (should have been Jonathon as he left anyway)
Eviction 3 - Billi (should have been Carole, Billi would have caused more controversy)
Eviction 4 - Laura (maybe that one was correct )

But overall I think the housemates would be having a lot more fun if Seany and Shabnam was still there. And there would be more arguing if Billi were there. Also it would prevent the h/ms that always vote the same way (Gerry, Liam, Chanelle, and Ziggy)

[Keith_Can]

I find it so interesting people who support tw*ts like Charley & Jen from big brother US think they know what entertainment is.

Based on the fact you openly support ridiculous housemates makes your opinion on anything warped and deluded thus null and void.

You will never sway my opinions,. that I can guarantee

[Weirdchild]

Well I can't say I have ever regretted my voting choice. I do not always agree with the majority vote but thats the way a democratic vote works.

And I actually like BB in the last few weeks more than in the beginning, people cannot normally keep up a facade for that long.

I realised this season that it seems the voting public, never learn from every eviction. So far, we have evicted pretty much the best characters, and regreted it 3 days later. We evicted Shabnam, over Tracy and Carole, and of course now the consensus is what were we thinking. We evicted Billy, over Tracy, and Carole, and again, 2 days later it was, we are so sick of Ziggy and Chanelle, wish Billy was still in the house. And then we got rid of Laura, now everyone is annoyed by Chanelle's constant crying and irrational outbursts! And the one that puzzled me the most, was losing seany for the usual boring once.

Billi was an absolute waste of space as a hm. Okay, the fact that he got under Piggy's skin was mildly entertaining. But all that ever did was raise Piggy's profile, and his popularity. Laura was also useless. There's little to suggest either of them have been missed. As for Seany, he was this year's Marmite hm. I didn't dislike him, but I didn't find him amusing or entertaining, either. The only evicted hm I've missed is Shabnam.

Would you care to explain how the Big Brother vote is a "fair diplomatic assessment"?

Last time I checked it was something determined by whoever's crazy enough to spend the most money on eviction phonecalls.

Well it's not watertight but the general consensus is those that are evicted are the least liked housemates of those up.

[the_chosen_one]

You're right, it's not water-tight. Of all the Big Brother viewers who actually take part in voting (not all of them), this portion is what you're referring to as "the UK public". Combine that with the fact that most people who vote at all are likely to vote more than their fair share (once) and the results you're left with are not my idea of any sort of representation via diplomatic means.

Yes, we end up with a percentage for each nominee, but how they get those figures isn't worth thinking about, in my opinion, because there's no way of knowing who it's representing. For arguments sake, I'd refer to it as the Big Brother audience (but even that would be incorrect).

[Lauren]

No, the OP stipulated that this was 'the UK public'.

And your post is right, and so how does this show that 'the UK public have got it wrong' on many occasions? As you say, it's not representative of viewers.
Also, those that do vote multiple times - aren't going to vote for those they want keeping in the house, no?

[the_chosen_one]

If you want to get into that, he was right in saying the UK public are wrong (by accident), because they don't vote diplomatically, but in his context also, they (the BB voters) don't realise to keep the entertainment in the house. You used the term "the UK public" off your own accord to refer to the Big Brother voters, but it's a trivial tangent neither of us need pursue, admittedly, you weren't responsible for bringing it up originally.

Anyway, I'd agree with the OP, in the sense that the Big Brother voters don't realise to keep in the entertainment for the sake of the show. They seem to operate on a mindless love/hate policy of "whoever shouts - vote them out" and "whichever boy is handsome - vote to win". It rarely changes.

They even cheered him when he came out! Does that make any sense? are the people voting, on some sort of a controlled substance? And this week it seems almost a forgone conlusion that Nicky is gone. I think by sunday, people will again ask themselves, what were we thinking, when Gerry bore them to death, and constanstly patronise people from his high horse. The funny thing about all these evictions, is they are not even close, the result is already known befor wednesday. When are we going to learn? I guess we wont until the show is just a Brady Bunch movie, where everything is dull and happy! Sorry I went on for so long there, I am just really dissapointed!

i agree with the first bit
but seriously i dont think i could ever regret evicting nicky.

i dont like gerry either, but hes better than nicky

as for laura > chanelle.......LMFAO, just no.
