Idk I still don't have a favourite which is unusual this far through. Noone is really likeable. Usually someone stands out or are relatable so you want them to win. Maybe they should put less in to start with and we'd get to see more of each person from the start. I don't like all the manipulation around nominations. The old system worked so I don't know why they mess about with it. We haven't got to know who all the housemates would chose to nominate and why this series. I think they're not in there long enough these days either. I was sure that when big brother first started they were in there a lot longer? Everything seems so rushed with so many people to start and only 6 weeks to evict them.

I hope they do proper noms this week, even if they still have to have the HoH crap.

I'm sure originally they were in for about 13 weeks. I've loved all the twists and tasks in this series, but agree that the bog standard noms were much better.

Actually probably not 13 weeks as I've just realised how long that is! Felt like that though 😂

It really should be 8/ 10 weeks.
6 is soooo short.

Channel 4 days did have 94 days once !
Just looked which one Big Brother 8.
Early series were 64 days. Then went crazy.

I've just checked too, yes... it was the Brian Belo series! I wondered why that figure had popped into my head! Seems so long!

I'd still take 90 odd days over just under 6 weeks lol
The good thing about the epic long series was it felt like 3 separate series. Lots of journeys.

Yes and new housemates too. Would never work in this shorter series.

Confirmed last night normal noms this week. I just hope there's no more HoH as I don't like the power they get to nullify others' noms and having immunity. Skews everything.

I think Nathan might be changing his attitude to Lily now he has heard how popular she is.

I'm sure it was mentioned on LL that there would be a new head of house. Apparently the people who have already held the position of HoH get to chose one person each to go up for it, so Emma, Ali and Khaled.

Just caught up with last night. Wish Lily would’ve gone.

She’s not even remotely as thick and immature as she makes out. Can’t stand the blatant stealing from others followed by the “sorry guys…”. She’s at it.

I can only imagine Ali must be fully aware of this, otherwise it's a tad worrying given her profession.

Thanks - I missed that somehow. Probably at the fridge getting a top-up 😅

Posting so I don't lose the thread. Emma is playing a clever game but I think it's more natural than others.

She made her game-playing more obvious by replacing Nathan.

She will be. She’ll also be aware of how well the dumb-but-lovable persona tends to do in these shows. I think that’s why she’s aligned herself with her. It’s good security knowing that someone who will likely be there to the end won’t nominate you.

If there's no faffing abaht with the noms, could be Lily, Ali and Nathan up? Maybe Marcello?

The lovable part must have passed me by! I was shocked at the cheering when her name was mentioned 🤷‍♀️

Checking in

Live feed is on lads

Emma has mentioned that they have no hot water. This must be as well as the basic budget food due to Lily's rule break

Thanks for the new thread @TellingBone.

I too thought Dean was ok on L and L. He is a natural diva though.
