Four In On Big Brother Tonight

Tonight, four former housemates from this years "Big Brother" (UK) will go into the house next door. These will be the four who receive the most votes from the viewing public. Some people have been complaining about housemates being let back in. Over 600 complaints have been sent to Ofcom, the British Media "watchdog." Big Brother have put housemates back in before, most notably Jon Tickle (http://www.bbc.co.uk/norfolk/features/big_brother12.shtml ), in 2003. However, previously, as in Tickle's case, housemates put back in were not eligible to win. What seems to have pissed people off, this time, is that Big Brother has announced that one of the four will be selected to go back into the main house and will be eligible to win.
Personally, I don't see why these people are complaining. First of all, Big Brother has always said they can alter the rules at any time. Second, it's unlikely the housemate who goes back in will win, as it's been pretty much a runaway for Pete the whole series. Third, who wins is still subject to another public vote. The presence of a housemate you don't like won't be a problem, as you vote for who you want to win, during the final week. Some people, here in Britain, just seem obsessed with complaining to "government" bureaucrats. If you don't like what is happening on Big Brother, you have two remedies that don't require any "government" intervention. Don't vote and don't watch.
I am predicting that Nikki will be one of the four who go back in. I hope she is selected to re-enter the main house, as I find her very entertaining. Last night, Opal Bonfante asked me how many were going back in, tonight. Let's hope that means Opal is getting more interested in the reality TV series.
