Were most of the HM fools for nominating the newbies

Were most of the HM fools for nominating the newbies

I would have hedged my bets. One newbie. One oldie.

But given it is obvious in these situations that new people will be up, the focus should have been more on getting out any obvious threats or at least trying to exhaust their supporters' coffers.
 
Yes, I would have expected all of them to nom oldies. I actually can't remember who nommed whom now?

If I was a HM, I would have nominated my biggest threats in the house.

Which would have been the original HM.

Granted the chances that an original would be evicted ahead of an intruder would be very slim. HOWEVER that extra week for an 'original' being up for eviction forcing his/her fans to fork out more cash to save them could be the difference between him/her winning losing in the finale, assuming they make it that far.

So yeah it was very short sighted by the so-called originals not to target one another.
 
David did appear almost flabbergasted when he realized that everyone had nomd newbies, with the exception of Ryan. It would have been a great opportunity to get out a threat because the others have such a small chance to win.

I loved David's reaction when he realised that most of the newbies were up for eviction.

David and Skye were the only two people to vote for the original housemates.

Because David and Skye are the only ones that genuinely seem to want to win the game.

You're not going to win gossiping. You have to win by nominating like a boss. Tell me who would win in a final three out of Priya, Tom and Richard. It would be a walkover. It's not brain surgery people. You take the weak to the end. You endeavour to eliminate the strong. Hardly anyone bothered to even attempt that. Some of the players in the game deserve to lose for not even grasping the most basic of concepts.
 
I'd nominate the newbies too. The reason is pretty simple really...

If you, an original, were standing against the newbies you'd much MORE likely to be SAVED from eviction. If all originals were up with you, you would be in higher danger!

You have to take the weak out though and not let them get stronger. especially when you have 4 to get rid of.

Lettuce be reality for just 1 goddamn minute, if after 60 + days of being in the house a hm thinks they are vulnerable to an eviction if put up against a newbie that has being in the house for a handful of days than they might as well evict themselves and stop wasting his/her and everybody else's time.

You're missing my point though. If I were one of the favourites I'd be angling to take with me as many of the newbies to the end as I possibly could, for obvious reasons.

This is what is commonly referred to as taking a GOAT with you to the final in Survivor. Although it's unlikely to work, putting up the ORIGINALS up for eviction as often as possible has the added benefit of exhausting their fans discretionary income.

And this is exactly what happened to Tahan and Estelle in their respective seasons, both girls went to the well (their fans pockets) far too often and they inevitably paid the price in the final week up against hms who were up for eviction less frequently.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if BB made them nominate the newbies because they didn't think things through and need to get rid of them for people to keep an interest in the originals for the finals.

Well, at least we agree on something :eek:

I still think Priya will be a dark horse at the end though 😘
 
It is the smart decision why would you want to go up against the originals when you don't know if your more popular than them. This way if your up for eviction you are basically guaranteed to go through if a couple of the newbies are up. Sky nominating ryan and David was just plain stupid or/and arrogant. Only go up against the strong when it is needed rather than risking getting turfed this week. Especially when you knew it was probably going to be a double or even triple eviction this week. Most of the housemates made the "smart" decision.

if youre afraid to take on the originals even this week, why would you want to face one head-on in the finale when you know they will be strengthened even more by people voting for them just to spite you?
it seems pretty basic strategy to take the weakest into the finale. even david was disgusted when he saw all the noobs had been nominated.
