Nominations Wednesday, £50k Prize At Stake

We wrote this article yesterday afternoon saying that normal nominations would take place today, Tuesday the 26th of August. Actually they're not taking place today. Doh!

When we published that article, internet forums went into a bit of a frenzy, with fans convinced that Wednesday's night's special live task would decide who faces eviction this week, not nominations.

However, that's not the case, as the Eleventh and final round of nominations will definitely take place, it's just that Channel 4 have decided to move the procedure forward a day.

So, we can categorically say for sure that the nominations WILL take place on Wednesday night (27/08/08), and whatsmore, they'll be shown live. This is bound to cause panic among the contestant group, who are usually well prepared for the procedure.

Also, it often takes eons for everyone to nominate, but seeing as the first of the two live shows is an hour long and the second is only half-an-hour, the eight housemates will have to crack-on and give their reasons quickly.

We said before that Channel 4 are anticipating two nominees, and that's still the case. However, as-per the rumours, the task is all about winning money, as whoever goes up for eviction will compete in a live task to win £50,000. This money will not affect the overall £100k prize fund, and the nominees will still face eviction on Friday whoever wins the cash.

And it's entirely feasible that the winner of the live task could go on to win the series, thereby scooping a total of £150k. Presumably that person won't be Mohamed though, as traditionally the Head of House cannot be nominated; if that rule stands, he shouldn't be eligible to take part in the task.

We also assume that the housemates won't be told about the live task before they nominate, but BB could tell them just to shake things up. This would provide something of a dilemma, as although they'll possibly be sending someone home, they could be helping them to win £50k. In other words, one of their enemies could end-up doing rather well out of it.

So, there you go. Sorry that we weren't quite right in our previous article, but Big Brother reserves the right to change its mind at any time... the miserable and awkward old entity!
