Sophie's "punishment" was for everyone to be allowed to discuss nominations. This was pretty-much made clear by BB yesterday.

From official site news item:
"If we had one drinks token for every time Big Brother had told the housemates not to discuss nominations, we'd be staggering around with a traffic cone on our head by now.

Big Brother has threatened and tormented the rule-breakers with all manner of warnings and punishments - but to no avail. The housemates didn't listen. So now Big Brother is letting them have if their own way."

Why is everyone going on about Sophie?...she's not the only one that discussed noms this week (before they were allowed to).

Fiddle!

True, but she was the most blatant, specifically asking other HMs to nominate her.

Part of the reason FMs are going on about Sophie is that she did exactly the same as Siavash last week, but she hasn't been punished in the same manner...

Why should there be a twist there has been enough meddling by BB last week they were all up because of Marcus and Siavash, this week Marcus Siavash and Freddie got all their food taken off them and that is why they have been nominated with Siavash getting away with it.

Probably because everyone moaned about doing an "all up twist" again.

BB can't really win - they try something different people get pissy and they repeat the same punishment people get pissy.

Here, however is the thing: If it was Lisa and Bea up hardly anyone would be moaning.

When have BB ever given in to HM's before. By doing so this time they've totally ruined the show now

Quite right too! Its just that so many on this forum were asking what her punishment would be (Hers alone) and I couldnt remember when she asked to be put up! Anyway, I like her. Glad she's not up for eviction anyway

Without an audience there wouldn't be a program so it makes sense for Endemol to cater to what the audience want. Instead they save Bea and Lisa last week by making it a vote to save. They would make alot more money with Bea and Lisa up.

They definitely seem to want to support the 'Hollyoaks' HMs such as Sophie, Rodrigo and Charlie as they get punished far less. I suppose they think most of the audience is that shallow that they just support people who are considered youthful and good looking.

I don't thing that's true. The complaint against BB has always been that their punishments have been weak and inconsistent.
I think the vast majority of FMs want BB to stick to the same punishments. The reason we complain is because the only time they do so is with silly, trivial punishments like sticking the HMs in the jail.
It's because BB has become increasingly weak and inconsistent with punishments that they've lost control this year.

These were the 2 I wanted up Marguerita. These are the 2 I like the least. However, I agree they make good TV and as BB put everyone up last week, I just could not see them only putting up those 2, regardless of the other punishment they handed out when they took the food. I just truly believed there would be some sort of twist. Am glad at least one of them will be gone this week.

What? And lose potential voting revenue? C4 are strapped for cash eonough as it is.

Nah, Deman... it's obviously just easier to let inmates take over the asylum
