Was this a mistake or intentional? Perhaps it was reverse psychology.

I read that and was wondering myself! Why should they be able to see who nominated them? I'm just a little confused, and if anyone has the answers, please post them here.. thanks!

Maybe (and please realize that this is all speculation and not based on facts) it is being posted because as viewers of BB we always thought that if the HG could SEE who was nominated who (and the reasons behind it...like Brittney asked me to move) it would make things more interesting. Perhaps change the alliances, alter perceptions, encourgae strategizing.

I can only give you my personal opinion...which is usually right, but whatever :) I think this is ridiculous....it ruins the whole game....what is the point of having a strategy if everyone can see it? all they are going to do is vote for the ones that voted for them! i don't get it?

maybe i am missing something and they can't read this part, but if not, it just seems plain stupid

sorry host....i just don't think that was smart

You may see some real confrontations and dialogue about why a certain individual should be banished. Will they try to defend themselves in the Red Room? As the game winds down you will see the players being forced to deal with personality issues and you will see more honesty. IMHO

Is Neil the Host? Or are there a bunch of hosts?

The reason for making the nominations public (this is in the rules, by the way) was exactly for the reason Wcv63 and Norequerdo stated above... We felt that the BB HGs were way too friendly in the house and making the nominations public would have stirred things up a bit. CBS felt this too, that's why they offered a reward if they would watch the tape.

if this is the way it is, then i guess it is...but did the guests know that would be the case when they stated their reasons? perhaps they wouldn't have said as much and now their strategy has been compromised...some gave explicit reasons for their nominations (strategy-wise)....will nominations continue to be public?

Nominations can be revealed without the reasons for the noms being revealed.

Jana - the friendly was the BB HGs.

I think all you are going to get now is "friendly nominations" -- no dishing dirt in the red room. But whatever.

I already felt that the game is a little bit weaker because ALL the game players can read ALL the posts. There are no 'private' conversations.

Where is the chance to set up a little intrigue if nothing can be secret?

the rules said that noms would be visible to all BGs, they should have read them first. hopefully they did

That's true - I think there should be a way for them to have "private" conversations somehow. I'd suggest - each player have one "topic" with their name, players can email the Host (or someone) any one-on-one personal comments to a particular player and host can post that email to that players "topic" - hmmm or something like that?

Any other suggestions?
