Are BB using the positive vote to assess housemate popularity?

Topics

Cold Sweat

Is this the week when BB will take a long hard look at who to push - and decide who can make them the most money during Finale week?

Are they using this as an excuse to test the water, with the knowledge that they will not lose a big housemate.

We never get to see statistical information other than the percentage of the evicted housemate - but it would be fascinating, this week especially, to see which housemates gain the most votes.

They're using it because they didn't like the Marcus v Bea outcome.

Of course. They need to know how the land lies so that they can edit accordingly.

With the lack of live feed this info is all the more vital to them.

they have no b..ls to punish servely the troublemakers

Its a joke a mockery of the whole concept housemates nominate we decide

It could just be that this punishment was not one Siavash wanted, because he won't be mr popular.

Surely they must have people in their production team who scan the betting and forums, to see who is popular and unpopular.

Surely this week will give them a bumper purse in phone votes .........weed out the dead wood .......and give them the opportunity to guage (accurately) who's hot and who's not.

It's a win win for BB.

I'd be quite happy with a vote to save every week... that way we'd not be stuck with all the bores forever.

£££££'s IMO, they know you'll probably vote for more than one person on vote to save, even 3 or 4!

I think that'd get boring .............we couldn't get them sneaking around behind each others backs and fake niceness to avoid nominations. The interaction would be very limited I think.

You have a point there I suppose. Every couple of weeks then?

Expect a frantic re-think from the producers, and a conniving effort to re-jig the result, if they lose their favourite the way they did with Nikki.

Its always deemed a bloody conspiracy when you lot don't get your way (i.e marcus v bea)

Yep should always be used,that way the ones that sit and do nothing for six weeks etc would get the elbow.

Maybe Soozy does have a point though, Katty, there'd be no sucking up or backstabbing to avoid/infuence nominations so they might all be on their best behaviour all the time. I still say there should be a regular vote to save though to clear out the deadwood.

It might have been some sort of ploy to get the rest of the HMs nominating him next week, but then BB diluted the possible anger against Siavash by saying they were all up for eviction because BOTH Siavash and Marcus had broken the rules.

So is Siavashes punishment being up for eviction AND attracting the ire of other HMs AND not being evicted by the GBP, in opposition to his stated desire?

Definately, as well as making them money, the vote to save gives a clear indication of the eventual winner barring major disasters and walkouts

Be interesting to see who they edit in a good light and a bad light afterwards!
