This is a thread for you to post your thoughts about the newest twist. Whoever is evicted by the house guests will play against the player America votes back into the house. Whoever loses will be evicted.

My thoughts are that Julie let them now that to discourage the new HOH from putting Rachel up. Rachel is good at competitions so she would probably win against America's choice. The key to this week is to put up a week player who won't win against America's choice to come back in.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I didn't think the house guests knew that someone was coming back to compete against the evicted person. I thought Julie just said that the person who is evicted has a chance of coming back in, but didn't say how, did she? I was half way watching, so could be mistaken.

I don't think the HG should let it influence who they vote out. Some competitions have more to do with luck (like the golf thing) than skill or memory. Look how Kalia rocked tonight's comp. I never thought she'd win! Vote out who you want out and then hope for the best. I think it stinks overall when people are let back in, mostly because it's usually not who I want back in. LOL. They should vote Rachel out for sure if she doesn't POV due to the chance that Brendan could come back. Horrifying thought!

True, they don't really know the full twist, but they are speculating. I still don't think they should change their behavior. It's something they can't control. They can control who they vote out and nominate.

They still have no idea that they are not at jury house yet, Rachel said earlier "this group is the jury" So they are not thinking this through yet

I'm pretty sure that the "competition" between the one evicted next week and America's Choice will substitute for the usual HOH game. Whoever wins will be the new HOH which will assure them at least one week's safety. Let's just hope that the producers don't just pick who they want to compete and disregard America's vote!

So, in a season that has been wasted by returning house guests, the twist is a returning house guest.

I think Jambee's HOH comment (winner of the duel becomes the next HOH) is most likely the way it will go, too.

The hgs have only been told the evictee has a chance to come back, they don't know when, or who else will also have the chance (for instance they might guess one of the next three evictees or something) so it makes sense for Kalia to just play the game as she normally would.

I think Keith has no chance of returning, Brendon (hopefully) has little chance (it depends how well the "love story" of the tv shows has affected the audience) and it will between Cassi and Dom. I think it will be Dom because some little girls will like him because he's cute, and he was more memorable and more recently in the house than Cassi.

One thing I like about any Viewers' Choice involving hgs is that the hgs get an idea of how the audience is viewing the show. I assume Rachel will go up, but even if she wins POV and takes herself off, most likely she is going to have a shock when she sees Cassi or Dom return over her beloved Brendon, and that will mean a looong weeek for the house if she stays!

I'm not thrilled with the voting process.. I don't text, I'm not on facebook, but I AM on Twitter but CBS decides that my twitter id isn't "correct".. well it works fine for twitter.

So it want me to sign up for microsoft live or windows live or something, so I give in and do that but then it isn't working for voting even after I verify it and it says I'm logged on.

All this to make 10 lousy votes and I still cannot vote.

Seamonkey, that is weird.. I used my twitter and it worked fine.

Have you tried to just log into twitter via the webbrowser and then do it via the CBS registration?

I didn't even have to give it any of my twitter information. I had logged in recently so it just used the information.

As for the twist, I think the general consensus in the house right now is that it is likely the evicted houseguest will have to compete against the person picked to come back in.

Could work a bunch of interesting ways. I do think it is between Dom and Cassi. Which will of course piss Rachel off to no end.

I think the best move for Jeff/Jordan is to bring Cassi back, at least in the short run. I think Cassi coming back would actually harm Jeff/Jordan in the long run as she would likely end up with Shelly and Adam and work with them to put JJ out at the end.

I think for the most interesting game and conflict choice is for Dom coming back.. That is why I am voting for him. I think it brings some additional uneasiness back in the house.

I mentioned in another thread that Dani might push to get Jeff to go up, and then he might get evicted, and then he might face off against Dom and come back. Imagine if Dani found out her plan to try and get Jeff out again caused Dominic to be kicked out again. LOL

Most likely is Rachel goes up and gets evicted and goes against Dom or Cassi. IF she wins and comes back the twist will just be one big massive fail as we will have just wasted an entire week of the show with absolutely nothing being accomplished.

Rachel will still be going after the same people, it will literally be like groundhogs day.

Seeing how twists work out for BB most of the time, I will predict the later outcome to be the most likely, which means the next week is just a big waste of time.

No matter how well Brendon was 'edited,' the whining/crying/pouting show put on by Rachel will assure America that sending Brendon back in the house will prolong her behavior... Nobody wants to see/hear any more of that!

The thing is if we vote Brendon and Rachel is evicted ...he won't try to beat her in the one on one competition to return. I think I will wait n see who is nominated before I vote online...won't pay to text that is for sure.

I hope the winner of the duel is hoh. I like anything that throws off the predictable format of the game and requires people to adjust.

When people decide who wins hohs based on who they want to be able to compete the next week it is too predictable. You have to mix things up so there is always an element of doubt to tinge their decisions.

Well, CBS is not allowing me to vote either...didn't like my login...so I went to Facebook, "friended" Big Brother and clicked the link from there and nada! I have never had a problem voting before on CBS for anything!

CBS says I'm registered, but I forgot my password and it won't let me reset. And it won't let me pick a username. I give up. I voted once for Cassi on text, but refuse to spend more than a buck on this!

I really wish Cassi would come back and somehow form a 3rd grouping with Adam and someone else. Dom will just partner with Dani. Boring.

I'm voting for Cassie simply because I liked her as a house guest. It means nothing to me if she hurts or helps or adds drama for other players.

Its America's choice, so I'm voting for my choice! Go CASSIE!!

Now if this is a sample of people not being able to vote online- what is going on in CBS' brain?

ITA - not sure where I've read that the comp will be Aemerica (did anyone see that screen cap on CBS page - they misspelled America!)

anyway I've also read elsewhere that is the America's Choice vs the evicted HG - for the HOH

which is much like Survivor's Redemption Island... at least they are both CBS shows!

I suggested this yesterday in another thread, but it probably got lost, things were moving so fast.

Could a moderator create a poll for TVCH to cast their vote for the returnee?

We can be a microcosm of the BB world, and maybe it would give us a clue how everyone else is voting?

Hey Rose, would the Quick Questions thread work for a question like this?

I just emailed the mods. They've created polls for us before, and I'm sure they won't mind doing it for this!

Lainee - I think it would get 'lost' in the Quick Questions thread.

The mods will probably have a poll up for us soon - they're very good about stuff like this.
