Interesting... must've been pretty close, Luke got 37% of the overall vote.

My head isn't rolling, Juggy. Bad planning is a poor excuse when you are running an operation like BB where the main feature is a weekly telephone vote. It's like Eurovision turning round and saying they 'forgot' to book the phone lines for that week.
It was obviously a publicity stunt to encourage speculation. The eviction is rather predictable this week as they have been throughout this series. The *TWIST* is they are dragging it out over the whole hour, saying (in no particular order) who has been saved at regular intervals. Rex gets his oft-mentioned girlfriend as a new HM to replace the vanishing Maysoon.
How do you know its bad planning and not for producer practicality? Would you rather watch a half arsed attempt at a best bits/interview or a half decent one? We'd get the former if the lines stayed open until 9.50pm. The public were well aware the lines would close at 11.59pm last night so if they wanted to vote they would have voted earlier. Wednesday and Thursday's highlights have been the highest rated highlight shows for a while so its unlikely nobody knew. I think the idea of them dragging the result out over an hour was a great idea, it was a good refresh from the standard talk to the house we get every other week.

I'm sure you don't actually believe that C4/Endemol are unaware of the voting tallies until the lines are closed, or that the 'best-bits' VTs are only prepared at the last minute.
I would be rather surprised if you admitted to such naievity, Tom.
With 12.6% required for eviction I'd say he was voted out by a landslide, telly!

Of course I'm not that naive but hypothetically it could have been much closer than it was, so its best to close the lines early so they can prepare better?
I think Davina's interview was quite good tonight, she spent a fair amount of time on the issue of his bitching then moved on to more lighter things ... obviously that shower over on DSBB take it far too seriously and are currently saying it was the worst interview ever and calling for Davina to be axed as they do every other Friday
Nicole is very peculiar looking ... I mean I'm not saying shes ugly because shes not but she looks a lot older than 19 ( ) and a Jodie Marsh nose. She actually reminds me a lot of Nush from BB4 and Danielle Brent who played Natalie Buxton in Bad Girls.

What - she's 19! And yes, she is ugly.

According to her profile, yes she is. Her picture is also EXTREMELY unflattering.
