i dont see a single bad thing about this... if you all are big brother fans should know that the show also involves strategy, you get to know different sides of the housemates and prevents the house from becoming a complete love-fest.

[Flamingjoe]

Terrible news.

[Marsh.]

Terrible. Even if it's only for a while, people will make it abundantly clear to each other who they're nominating.

What's that gotta do with it? If anything this will make it a love-in with the blocks.
I hate block voting, where people group together to get others out, I prefer seeing their unbiased/uninfluenced thoughts.

[Marsh.]

Have you moved Alex?

[Me. I Am Salman]

Well that means less punishments

[Kizzy]

Clever lad, read the rule book hehehe

[armand.kay]

I ame all against talk of nominations. If it had been aloud from the start we would of only has Charley for 4 weeks in bb8 .

[HBB1508]

I hate nominations talk as it leads to block voting and you end up with a house where everyone gets on with each other - not good for the show at all imo.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Chris bitching that Luke S and Aaron have game plans, ironic as he is the biggest game player in there. Really not liking Chris, but he is one hell of a player.

[swinearefine]

Don't know if I'll bother watching now. Really don't like this series so far.

[DanielLuis]

Why do people overreact to things like this? It'll actually make the show more interesting in nominations days...

[Jords]

Block voting has always occured, dont get that argument.

[Eosvox]

CRAP!!! The main reason (among many) that I preferred the U.K. version of BB over the U.S. version was that the housemates COULDN'T discuss noms...

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Erm they was allowed to talk about noms last CBB aswell

[Munchkins]

I L-O-V-E the news, makes it so much more exciting with strategy, but i can see why people won't like it..

[andybigbro]

Hate this idea.

Its such a terrible way. It allows ganging up and stuff. Its wrong. Nominations should be a housemates own choice and they shouldnt be forced into nominating others due to the persuasion of louder housemates.

[aman201]

This should never of been against the rules ffs.

It's a game and should be treated like a game.

Victor in 2004 had it spot on about what BB is about.

It makes it more interesting.

[rk3388]

Lydia was great today, and she reminds me of a bb usa player!
Thought at first she would be a floater but so happy that she wants to blindside Luke ( Never thought I would be using bbusa terminology in bbuk )

[aman201]

Yeah, this whole rule change makes this show so much more now.

Hopefully Lydia's lot beat Arron and Connor lot.

This is what the Jungle Cats in 2004 tried to do, but couldn't cos of the stupid rules back then.

Exactly. Even when you weren't allowed to discuss nominations, you would see the groups nominating the same people. I don't think that the end result will really be any more different. Nobody's going to be forced to nominate the same way, there's still room to nominate freely. I think there's a lot of overreacting to this.

I think it's obvious that they decided to try the BBUSA style. Or at least a hybrid. Because remember that half the people in the house will be against game playing.

Now if there is a BB14 it could effect that in terms of who ends up in there and how they play. But I think what it comes down to it an experiment.

I for one was getting tired of the old Big Brother formula and the nation as a whole was too. I think adding that element and watching the fireworks fly makes it far more interesting.

If it fails then they can go back to the regular style. But so far it has caused nothing but drama and so long as we also get to see genuine likeable friendships forming as well I don't have a problem with it. Let's see what happens because so far its resulted in 2 damn good HL shows IMO.

[Jords]

I quite like the idea, maybe for the next series, that there is a task every Saturday to win the right to nominate. This task has to be thoughtful and not some half-arsed jobby, because the prize is power. Half the house win the right (on odd numbers, round up).

This makes winning essential, and gameplay even moreso... if BB is evolving down this route. It prevents a large group forming and dominating.

[bananarama]

Terrible news. BB concept murdered bt CH5.
