SAXON!!Tonight was the unveiling of the new eviction system, and personally, I'm still in two minds about it. For those that have been living under a rock for a few weeks, it goes down like this; The public vote to SAVE the HM's they like. At the end of the week, the bottom three HM's with the least save votes, are put up for eviction. The HM's then vote (two points and one point) who they would like evicted, except for the winner of FNL who gets four points and two points to use on evicting a HM, AND also gets to SAVE one HM from eviction. The person with the next least save votes then gets put up to take their place. In yet another twist, the bottom three HM's also get to nominate each other too and their votes are kept secret until the end. After this somewhat exhausting process, the three HM's get into "the revolver". Two HM's are put back in the house, and the one with the most eviction points is spun out to "the bleachers" where Jackie-O is waiting to interview them. *Takes a breath, tries to clear head* Are you still with me? So, the bottom three HM's were Saxon, David and Rebecca. After Travis used his save power, Rebecca was spared (how redundant, the beeyotch was whining to go home all week) and Rory was put up in her place. This is the only part of the process I enjoyed, watching the self proclaimed "spa mafia" facing eviction. They were all shocked, in particular Rory and David, it was a joy to behold. The HM eviction votes went down like this; Renee- 2 points Saxon because he has "a beef" with lots of the HM's, herself included. 1 point to David, siting strategy (which is stupid, because if she really believed that she would have given him two points instead of one. Bianca- 2 points, saxon as there was tension between them and 1 point to David for interrupting conversations. Yeah, i shit you not.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_Q421inffFgo/SCbepoviBjI/AAAAAAAAA78/LqAHV_3Gms4/s1600-h/vlcsnap-457656.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_Q421inffFgo/SCbepoviBjI/AAAAAAAAA78/LqAHV_3Gms4/s320/vlcsnap-457656.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199087626738599474" border="0" /></a> Ben, 2 points David, for saying he was "king of the kids". That whole alpha male thing going on again, Ben wants that role, has zero chance. 1 point Saxon, for being threatening and "making the girls uncomfortable". Alice- 2 points Saxon for causing rifts in the groups and 1 point to Rory for basically the same reason. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_Q421inffFgo/SCbePYviBiI/AAAAAAAAA70/Ax_TLhf7kio/s1600-h/rory.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_Q421inffFgo/SCbePYviBiI/AAAAAAAAA70/Ax_TLhf7kio/s320/rory.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199087175767033378" border="0" /></a> Nobbi- 2 points David for being fake, and 1 point to Rory because he's closer to Saxon. Brigitte- 2 points to Saxon for complaining about food and 1 point to Rory because he's messy. Dixie- 2 points to Saxon for being 'stubborn, opinionated and disrespectful', 1 point to David, again saying it's strategic, but that's bollocks in my opinion. Rebecca, 2 to Saxon for being aggressive, 1 point to Rory because he's younger than Dave and therefore will have more opportunities in life. whaaaaaaaat? Travis- 4 points to David because in group convos he doesn't listen to him. And 2 points to Rory for talking "graphically" On the one hand I'm loving BB not grilling the HM's on their choices, that got so old last year, but on the other hand, some of the reasons were beyond lame and they maybe SHOULD have been called on them. Anyhoo, after the nominated HM's voted ; Saxon- 2 David, 1 Rory. David- 2 Saxon, 1 Rory, and Rory went 2 David and 1 Saxon. Saxon was evicted..........or revolved out of the house.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_Q421inffFgo/SCbd0IviBhI/AAAAAAAAA7s/3TMNWRru4-U/s1600-h/2225360400103432861S425x425Q85.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_Q421inffFgo/SCbd0IviBhI/AAAAAAAAA7s/3TMNWRru4-U/s320/2225360400103432861S425x425Q85.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199086707615598098" border="0" /></a> Are you still reading? Have I bored you into a coma yet or did that happen when I first hit "publish" on this blog? The eviction show I thought was very anti-climactic. I really missed the tension and anticipation of the "It's time to go (one minute pause) SAXON". I missed the instant reaction of the evicted HM, I missed the reactions of the other HM's, I missed the whole walk on stage excitement, I missed the whole eviction vibe. It just wasn't there, and there seemed to be way too much going on. The revolving door and "bleachers" eviction was just naff! I didn't see the point of that at all except of course that it was again "different" from last year. Different isn't always better, as was clearly demonstrated tonight. On the plus side I LOVE the new nominations process. I love the voting to save business and the uncertainty of it all, I just wish it was more cohesive and flowed better. It will be interesting to see how the behaviour of the HM's changes this week, knowing that the public are voting to nominate, and it really is game on. Watch for David and Rory, in particular to try for more air-time this week. The other big "reveal" tonight, t<a href="http://forum.behindbigbrother.com/showthread.php?t=30900">hat I broke on BBBA</a> this afternoon, was about the Cloud door. It seems a few HM's will be going on a "flight" to a secret holiday resort....all within the confines of the BB compound of course. I have no idea why this room exists or what it will be about, but all will be revealed in the next few days. I hope it lives up to the hype.
