To combat the block voting we see year in year out? It was obvious it was going to happen again this year, the ones who go against the 'main' group being up week in week out. Every year we complain about it. Have they finally listened?

It would be better if they had told us about this change in the rules though..but it seems they have a 2 nominations and you are up rule now.

No. They're making it up as they go along to save Dexter and Gina

Erm..more people up means G+D are more in danger. Remember Nikki? The controversial ones are much more likely to go the more housemates are up..with vote to evict.

Had it been just Gina Dexter and Callum this week, it would be almost a certainty that Callum would go.

How did you work that out?

Because thats how it works..

If it was vote to save, more up would mean they were safer. With vote to evict, the more controversial housemates are always in danger with loads of housemates up. Which is how Nikki ended up getting evicted in bb7. She had a lot of fans, but a lot of people who didnt like her (much like gina and dexter). Had that week been a head to head, or even 3 way, no way would she have gone.

It went from Callum > Gina > Dexter to Jackie > Callum > Twins > Gina > Dexter.

Keep lying to yourself if that makes you feel better

Yeah this is exactly right; votes get diluted when there are more people up in a vote to evict so the controversial housemates end up being evicted with a lower overall percentage than anyone being evicted in a head to head, for the most part. If it was a head to head then the fans of a controversial housemate would vote like mad for the other person to be evicted; but if it's a three way then fans of the controversial housemate have to divide their votes to evict between two people or hope that they all focus on one particular housemate... and unless every voting fan of the controversial housemate is willing to spend more than they usually do, that means less votes are going to any one particular housemate and more chance that the haters will succeed, because their voting is aimed solely at the controversial housemate.

It's really not that difficult to understand!
The more people that are up the more the votes get spread out.

If it was just Dexter and Gina up with Callum then all the D & G fans (and anyone else with a particular dislike of Callum) would just vote to evict Callum and he'd be gone. Simples!

I'm glad you got what I meant.

I think marc is deliberately missing the point for some reason tbh

Exactly. Im not sure the producers get that though.

[Jemal]

Think their so smart.. More money to be made i guess.

[Novo]

Hopefully Marc is right and they are doing it to safe Gina and Dexter which will explain the good ratings lately

[Jemal]

Do eviction odds mean or gaurantee things? Because I've never really believed them.

No but they are usually a good indicator

Yes, i think so. It's a smart move. Otherwise we'd just have Gina and Dexter up every week. Which is not fair.

[Niamh.]

I thinks it's definitely better that they always have more than 2 up although this would have worked even better if they'd left it as vote to Save. The fact that they haven't actually explained the rule change though makes me feel suspicious and that they can change things when it suits them

Yeah..should have been vote to save still..putting more housemates up with vote to evict would generally see the wallpaper sail to the final

True. Vote to save was good to get rid of the deadwood.

Yeah and the only problem there ever was with Vote to Save was that alot of times it was only ever two people up so it may as well have been Vote to Evict, seems a bit stupid that they'd finally change it to 3 or more or whatever it is now but then go back to Vote to Evict again
