Just not the rule

We don't even know if it's the rule yet, watch them next week do everyone with 1 nom be up

I know it’s C5 but surely they would’ve done that this week if they were ever going to to save the biggest characters of the series

It's Channel 5 so logical decisions aren't in their brain capacity

The show is on life support because of production decisions like that.

No, the show is on life support because of poor production in general, with tacky, overbearing editing, shoddy tasks, endless futile twists and an inconsistent format. Again, I have no issue with them doing normal noms (though I do think they're overrated in general), but the consistent rule should be 2 noms and you're up. Head to heads suck - even more so under VTS - and we're left with nominees like this that'll deal a blow to the series.

I'd always take a scenario where producers manipulate to keep big characters around, because at the end of the day all of them being evicted in the first half of the series isn't good for the show either but I'd rather they avoided having to do that with a better rule

Nah they've got everything else right this series so if they really wanted to keep Hardeep and Natalie then they'd have just reverted back to type, this tells me they really are going back to basics and we'll be stuck with this rule for the rest of the year now

CBB17 and BB17 were fab but the rest trash

I was all happy with the back to basics stuff UNTIL we got a Hardeep vs Natalie eviction - major loss to the series either way.

Reminds me of BB13 where we got terrible evictions because only 2 people would be up

Civilian better be VTS or it will be a borefest

As per usual, Rob - the 'one' going, is the one who the producers decide behind closed doors who is going.

We will glean certain clues from the way that the show is selectively edited up until eviction night; who gets the spotlight and is shown in the more 'favourable' light to 'help' viewers 'make up' their minds and influence the voting.

Be prepared for the ****-storm of all manner of tedious accusations should Natalie be the evictee; everything from 'anti-American' and 'misogyny' to 'racism'.

Personally, I am betting that it will be Hardeep walking down those stairs.
