Unhappy Save and Replace is needed more than ever

This series we have been indundated with floaters and bores. Whatever your perception of entertainment is you can't deny the fact that Gina Dexter Dan and Wolfy are the only ones that can provide major talking points by causing big arguments etc. I genuinely cannot see Sam/Callum/Sophie/Twins/Daley/Hazel/Charlie/Jackie (even though I love Jackie) do anything to make this series memorable. They'll only be involved in major arguments if its with Dexter/Gina/Dan/Wolfy. And the worst thing is, these lot are getting rid of the talking points week by week and it's worsened even more by vote to evict (I take back what I said about the voting system, VTE is awful). This is why save and replace is needed urgently or this series will seriously go downhill. Its the only way we can get rid of the likes of Callum and Daley. It's day 15, they've had enough days to come out their shell, at most only 1 or 2 might turn out to be entertaining.

You make some strong points there Salman, I absolutely dislike vote to evict.
Even more so now where a likely hate figure can have organised voting arranged against them whereas with vote to save that is harder, as potentially there are more housemates needed to be voted for to achieve that.

I wasn't a big fam of save and replace but if the bigger characters are being put up week after week then it has more merit as then they would need to replace themselves with a weaker housemate.
Really good points though.

Thanks it'll just be a 5 or 6 week long version of the BB11 final if things continue to go the way they are

I suggested on another post that they ought to tell them that the public were voting this week to evict the 3 most boring \hm,s and replace them with interesting newbees. That would get them fired up. Maybe Daley and sam would step up as we know they have more to give and Sophie would swap her curling tongs for a spatula.

I really did like Save and Replace from BB11 - but I remember one week it meant that Dave the monk was saved. Arrrgh. If the replacee is a boring HM great, but I can see a dull HM like Callum being replaced by the fab Gina, so it's a gamble.

Save and Replace must be the crappiest idea they ever dreamed up.

The quiet ones still wouldn't go up, it would be the loud ones trading themselves for another loud one. You still get a Sophie/Sam/Twins final.

No. Save and replace was horrid in BB11, and this series will manage to entertain. You can get entertainment in other ways besides arguments (which seem to be your only talking points you mention) and Wolfy's eviction, let's say, would only improve things since she's horrid.
