Sun, they put a large couch in the HOH room for that reason, I assume. So that a duo like Dom and Adam wouldn't have to share a bed.

Keith has already given an interview to TVGuide. He's not in sequester.

The golden keys are going to open something. A comp to with the chance to open Pandora's Box maybe. Past house guest coming back in through Pandora's box.

Keith's TVguide interview sounds like a generic email or over the phone interview and nothing was revealed to him. All the questions looked like the carefully screened kind.

oh I like Caprica's idea about the golden keys opening something. Like an adaptation of that stupid box in the HOH room last year.

FromKitKat: It will never happen, but------ I wish all the retreads J&J, B&R, and D, all would suddenly have to leave and let the newbees play the rest of the season alone! Oh, and bring back the evictees. I totally agree. Get rid of the retreads and start over.

I like Caprica's idea. Cassi was backdoored albeit unintentionally. I hope it's her if they do bring someone back.

There will be an equal number of newbies and vets...they could force every vet to partner with a newbie...

A real game changer idea to me would be if they would do away with the sequestered jury house for this season only. If they did that people would have to PLAY to WIN and stop playing to merely get to the jury house and be happy with that. They would also have to play differently because they would have the understanding that ALL jury members would be able to watch the shows and live feeds to know the truth about everything they have said and done alll season long. However they could inform the houseguests that their DR sessions will be viewed by jurors who will be voting to determine the winner. If evicted houseguests did not have the luxury of going to the jury house to hang out while the game played out, I think they would buck up nd give us a watchable season of Big Brother gameplay, strategizing, competing harder, prep[ing for comps and it would make for good TV. This is the kind of change that would intrigue me and draw me back to watching the show and the live feeds. I know about Daniele in season 2 and why they started sequestering the jurors in the jury house for the duration of the season. Still, they need to resort to drastic measures to drag this disaster out of the heap of dog poop it is in. Big Brother is on the verge of losing a dedicated viewer of every season including season 1 with the 32" Trinitron group in it. I am so disappointed in the flop of this duo/golden key mess!

Tanzanite, I think this is a good idea. the reason it was "unfair" to S3 Dani was because she didn't know her DRs would be seen. So if the Hgs are told upfront that that's the deal, I think it's fair, and I agree it would change strategy and gameplay tremendously. The problem that has been mentioned in the past is that if the HG know the jury will see all before voting, the game will become so constrained no one will watch feeds or BBAD, and they'll lose footage of 'plot" for the network show as everyone will be on their best behavior and will almost never talk game. Not sure I agree. Imo, it would b a good thing as most juries would respect strategy talk, and it would cut down on the nastiness and bashing that goes on with little game consequences.

I totally agree with you Kminfinity. I am sick of the nastiness and the decisions based on personal dislike or emotion and not on strategic gameplay. I also see, on the feeds, people talk about just wanting to make it to the jury. That highly offends me, as I think everyone should play to win. I think this season is even decreasing the level of interaction on the boards. Where did they get these people who are playing? Actually, I'm enjoying rewatching seasons past moreso than keeping up-to-date with this drivel. The two redeeming aspects, so far to me, have been watching Dani's social gameplay and her interaction with Dom. Of course I disliked her need to work to get rid of Cassi in order to get close to Dom. I am also encouraged by the person whom Dom presents himself to be. You can see he has been well-reared. I wish he'd had occassion to see all the DVD's of former years of Big Brother before entering the house. Other than those two reedeeming aspects I hate this season and long to see something that really shakes up EVERYBODY!

The thing about the diary room is that the players need to go in there to vent about their frustrations in the game. What the producers are choosing to show us is usually their scripted version of things; but if people were told their DR sessions would be seen by everyone who was voting for the winner, they would not have that release that they get in there, because they wouldn't know what the producers might decide to show. Even the scripted stuff would pit people against each other.

The change in the game will be that they will play as individuals. It will not work because JJ and RB will still play as pairs.

I agree Peppin. It has also been suggested that everyone change partners. That won't work either as the two retread couples will still play as pairs.

Bringing someone back usually doesn't work cause they usually get voted out the week after their immunity runs out! Amy from BB3 was the only one to make it to final 4!

Have they ever given immunity to someone the first week they came back? I know that Amy had to win HOH in order to stay, and since Kaysar didn't win, he was voted out.

They usually give them immunity for one week and Kaysar was the reason for immunity for one week.

BFD... they announce they're playing as singles and then what? JJ and RB suddenly aren't couples anymore. Ugh. Just more disadvantage to the ones without a real life partner in there.

Well the supercouples will be playing as singles in terms of noms and POV at least. Someone could nominate Rachel and Jordan at the same time, only Brendon gets picked for POV, not Rachel, etc. So they are a little bit more vulnerable that way.

A tad more vulnerable, maybe... but they're still partnered and not ever going to go against each other. Yawn. I blame the newbies. They had it in the bag and between not winning a comp and eating their own, they're gonna play h*ll getting them out.

I would like to see a return of america voting off one of the two on the block. *sigh* Altho...it would mean a return of really playing up to the camara.

How about all the GK holders will not be eligible to get the POV for the rest of the game, since they have been safe for so long.

So I started thinking of scenarios that would make sense of the following: *The 4th Golden Key only gets awarded tonight. If they can play for HoH and be nominated then Adam "won" a worthless prize. BUT *If the four GK holders cannot play for HoH or be nominated, the new HoH will only have two duos to choose from for noms, and no choice at all if the POV is used. So I think the GK winners will have a special competition. 1. Maybe ONLY THOSE FOUR can play for HoH tonite. That would be a prize indeed for Adam, worth giving up this week's immunity as a GK holder. 2. The GK holders play a comp before the HoH comp and the winner gets to pick a returnee. 3. The GK holders play a comp before HoH and get some other power, or some lame reward, or something something..... If 1, 2, or 3 happens, then it makes sense that Adam won a key (chance for something else in the game). AND it makes sense that they can all play HoH and begin the next phase of the game.

Maybe BB will switch the pairs up. they will draw numbers and Jeff will find himself paired up with Dani.

No I think the pairs are done, As the numbers decrease there isn't enough flexibility with five couples. And anyway, one of the reasons the pair thing was such a flop was that unless you have a real to work together, like B/R or J/J, being in a pair doesn't mean anything except you know who you will be nominated with.

I like the idea of not having a jury house. Even better would be if they all thought there was a jury house, so while playing their game they would not be watching themselves. I realize why they made the change, but it is time they change it back at least for a season without letting any of the houseguests in on it. When they get evicted and think they are going to jury house you just put them on a plane and send them home.
