Ah NO!  Don't tell me BB are going to muck things up. What's wrong with the straightforward old way of hm's just voting.

It's always a risky business messing with the nominations, but there are some potentially good outcomes, for example block voting could be made more difficult.

Every year they change the rules about whatever and spoil the show

This afternoon housemates will be taking part in their first ever nominations but what they don’t know is that Big Brother has a twist up his sleeve! After today’s nominations one of the nominated housemates will then be given the chance to save themselves and choose someone else to take their place.

So how will it work? The two or more housemates who receive the most nominations will take part in an exciting challenge with an all important outcome. The winner of this task will be saved from being a nominated housemate and exempt from this week’s eviction. Get the feeling it’s going to be competitive?

But that’s not all! The winner must then choose another housemate to replace them as a nominated housemate. Normal rules then apply and whoever is chosen as a replacement will be up for Eviction with all the other nominated housemates on Friday.

Keep checking back as later today, we will be EXCLUSIVELY revealing who is up for nomination! Who do you think it is going to be?

Tossers!

$%#%! just knew it, they can't help themselves 

For ducks sake, Big Brother. Why? What is the quacking point of this? Utter crap.

They are control freaks, they just can't bear it that we, the public, have the last say.  'Who goes you decide' yeahh right!

I think BB's plan is to save Sunshine this week.

Looks like they might be trying to keep Sunshine in for more conflict

Aimee stop reading my mind!!

Ah well, Que sera que sera.....they never bloody listen, and as it's the last one they can do what they like!

But it's so interesting  you really shouldn't be thinking that about Blizzie though

Gooblies. They're trying to save Puddle..

Blizzie.

Shall we all pretend to act really suprised when Sunshine is saved?

Yes. It will be a pleasant shock

Not fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd still rather she stayed for now and one of the more boring ones (Corin, Steve) went.

I agree..... and if they do it's a very safe bet she will the nominate Govan.......

No.... I am not going to deprive myself of a  good grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

You think so?  In my predictions thread I speculated she would nominate Shabby.

Such an annoying production team. Why don't they just leave things alone.

If BB have set up this twist to save Sunshine, I hope it all backfires on them and another HM wins the task.

It's ruined the block voting that has prevailed these past few years.  It's kinda similar to BBUSA's veto system too.  I think I like it.

That might be good though !!.....

Me too.....

I actually like this twist...

for once it gives the HM that the others hate, but we want to stay to annoy the others ,  a chance to stay even if they are  put up every week.. and also mean the 'orrid ones that are popular with the sheep in the house a chance  be up a lot earlier than they would be..   if that makes sense. it does in my head 

imagine if it happened last year. .some of the ones at the end would never have got there with this years twist..  ie Charlie would have been out on is ear

I like it as long as it's consistant.  Not if they only do it on the weeks that one of the most talked about/fav HMs are up.

I agree Ella

yes. .if they start off that way they must carry it on

Love the sound to this task.

Like it too 

And me

I like it. Anyway if its a task about knowing your housemates Sunshine won't win it as she only 'knows herself (little girl)'.

Could be interesting. If they had done this last year Lisa would have been out a whole lot quicker than she was!

Anything that breaks up the block vote works for me

I like the idea of this - if as has been said above - they do it consistantly!  Will have a very interesting impact on the house dynamics.
