Whoever wins that is safe for the week and nominates two people typically, and then there is a power of veto, very similar to the Save and Replace in the last channel 4 seasons. This isn’t played by everyone, it’s the HOH, 2 nominees and then each of them typically pick a name out of a random bag. Whoever wins this can either choose to keep the nominations the same or save one of the nominees, then the HOH must nominate someone else. On eviction night, two people are left on the block and the house votes on who they want to evict, the nominees can’t vote and the HOH only votes if there’s a tie. So it’s a strategy/social game with a lot of layers. For example if you know someone is a competition threat, you might not nominate them first of all to minimise their chance of play veto, but you “backdoor” them as the replacement nominee. After a few weeks, it’s the jury phase so the evicted housemates form a jury and vote for the winner, usually it’s 7 or 9 housemates. So that’s the social aspect, your fate lies in the hands of them so you have to last the game, probably cut people, but not burn bridges or they won’t vote for you at the end. I don’t trust ITV to cast this properly for that to work but I think they do need to swing big and try something different.For example with last series it could be:Ali wins HOHAli nominates Marcello and KhaledAli, Marcello, Khaled, Daze, Dean and Emma play veto.Emma wins veto and saves Marcello so Ali nominates Nathan as a replacementDean vs Khaled on the blockKhaled evictedIn later US seasons it’s been 3 and there is an additional smaller competition on eviction night for one of the 3 nominees (for most of the season until the cast thins out too much) to be saved immediately before the vote, this also kind of removes the strategy of a veto a bit but it spiced up eviction nights.
September 26Sep 26 Oh okay, I don't see them taking the public vote away from us though when its always been this way and the diary room noms are too good to remove that.

September 27Sep 27 The diary room chair for this series. Edited September 27Sep 27 by Mack Be warned it's hideous
September 27Sep 27 I haven't been a massive fan of any of the diary room chairs in the ITV era, but my god this one is absolutely horrible
September 28Sep 28 So pumped. I just really hope they picked better people then last year. Half of them were almost unbearable to watch.
