Argument on who's coming back...

Who are eligible to come back in the house?

Let us review what are the qualifications of a "new" Housemate.

POINT I

This clause states that the replacement HM can be an evicted HM

A new Housemate may be called in to replace any person who leaves voluntarily or who has been disqualified by Big Brother. This replacement can be a former Housemate who had previously been evicted. If and when this happens, the following rules apply:

POINT II

In reference to POINT I, the highlighted item is quite conflicting leaving POINT II ambiguous and full loopholes. The act of leaving the house is by way of being evicted through nomination, quitting and disqualification. Once any of these are done by the housemate or by the power of Big Bro, they are deemed NOT to return in his house.

Leaving the House

Housemates leave the House in one of three ways:

• They are nominated
  
• They decide to quit the House of their own free will
  
• Big Brother disqualifies them and asks them to leave

Once a Housemate leaves, there is absolutely NO returning to the House.

POINT III:

These words appear in the Big Brother rules uder the Forced Exit ruling:

Such action will be considered as a voluntary exit, not an eviction.

Which declares that a voluntary exit is different from being evicted.

POINT IV:

The Accident & Illness clause doesn't mention any 24 hour ruling. Bob's unexpected eviction should not have taken place given that the show's producer has placed competitive medic crew verifying immediately the HM's state. Should a competitive medic crew has been placed, Bob should be still in the House.

This merely states that the local producer has the right to create its own rules or not showing the complete rules given by Endemol. The "BIG SWITCH" is not even mentioned in the rules. It should be Big Brother's decision to choose not the viewing public.

Accident & Illness

In case of an accident, Housemates may use the first-aid kit located in the living room. Housemates may also go to the Confession Room to report if additional medical help is needed.

If a doctor, nurse or dentist is needed for minor treatments, they will enter the House and treat the patient in the Confession Room. If a Housemate needs hospital treatment, Big Brother will judge whether the Housemate may return to the House. If a hospital visit is necessary, a member of the production team will accompany the Housemate to ensure there is minimal contact with the outside world.

A psychologist will also be available for counseling, either on request of the Housemate or if Big Brother feels it is necessary. Counseling sessions will not be filmed nor will Big Brother listen in to the conversation. Although the psychologist will maintain client confidentiality, s/he will let Big Brother know if the Housemates have any pressing issues or vulnerabilities that need to be addressed. Support will also be provided for Housemates once they leave the House.
