The first eviction will be on Friday, June 8, meaning one unlucky candidate will have lasted for just 72 hours.

A source said: “It’s an evil stunt but it will have a huge impact. 

How true. We could well lose the winner by the first friday.

Stupid idea. 

didn't channel 4 do something similar when they had to nominate first night?

I'm not feeling BB at all this year. .for me it's something to fill a hole when all  the bleeding sport hits the telly soon...

Yes BB4 .

Fou housemates were nominated on the opening night after the housemates were told to make instant nominations based on first impressions, with every housemate receiving even one nomination facing the public vote; of the four, Anouska was evicted one week later.

She was against Federico Jon Scott and she was evicted with 45.9%.

I agree it was done on BB4 and Anouska went .

I'm sure they did.  Was it not the one where on the first night the phone rang and whoever answered it was given a task or something and those who either didn't answer the phone or weren't chosen by someone who answered the phone all went up for eviction.  (I'm sure it was the series with Brummy Lisa and Dewsbury David.

Maybe that was the downfall of BB4. Had she stayed things could have been very different.  Didn't she go in to the Australian BB house and cause a bit of a stir?

Yes

Oh Channel 5. Could you be more shit!?

BB10 they were give a series of tasks to earn the right to become HM.Roderigo convinced Norin to shave her eyebrows and have glasses painted on her ,they both became HMs  .I remember Lisa picked Chris but I forget her task( I think she answerd a ringing phone) .Karly had a motorcycle go over her ( she thought it was) the ones left in uniform went up for eviction .

Blizzie, its time to get on Jamie East's case! 

I can't possible do it as my Twitter followers will see that I care 

If it were me, I'd nominate the gobbiest

That's my fear Sweet

Dats da one

I might follow you.  Don't follow me though, you might not be able to cope with how impossibly exciting my tweets are 

I'm always open to more followers 

Hahaha I spotted you right away from the thumbnails. I didn't even have to click the pic to see the rest of it.  I recognised your chopper! 

I think it's a silly idea ... And if that's a flavour of what's in store for the rest of the series I don't think I will be watching for long

Yay! Come join us in the "You suck Channel 5, take your fiddlings of the BB format elsewhere" group.  

...and according to a post on DS, there doesn't appear to be any live feed slots on 5 or 5* for the first week - so we're not even going to get the tiniest smear of LF post-eviction either.

First up, they shouldn't have any evictions in the first week anyway. However this all seems horribly similar to the Anouska fiasco. BB4 could have been a good year, but was ruined by BB manipulation. The premature eviction of Anouska removed any chance of the racy goings-on that BB were desperate for, then they brought in the first ever double-eviction which removed Fed and Jon - the only two HMs who were actually providing any entertainment.

Seriously: it's like they're deliberately trying to annoy their hardcore fans. I despair - I really do...

They couldn't organize a piss up in a whisky distillery.

Which was ridiculous as she was one of the few interesting characters that year!

With no 'Live Feed', if we are expected to form an opinion and vote in the first 72 hours of selected feed, then I am joining Rawky in the YSC5TYFOTBBFEG !

i agree
