"There are no characters or storylines that have to be included in the next season."

But isn't that exactly what happens when they brought back 3 retread pairs - continuing their characters & storylines?

Merrysea ~ Thank you for that trivia knowledge about 'jumping the shark'. I always thought it just mean't 'going crazy', lol!

karuuna, the original post said clearly my copied quote. thats how i copied it

it didnt say I WISH. it made fun of our theories about comps being developed for certain on the fly and said that the lists WERE published.

either way, my point was made and I'm glad i actually cut n pasted the sentence from the original post to prove i wasnt misreading.

Sunshyne4u - The original post said, "I'll repeat my wish that in the future, BB publishes the list of competitions/rewards immediately after the HGs are in the house in order to reduce the cries of "foul" and "fixed." It is so tiresome." Goddessatlaw - Friday 4:41 pm

Yes. But my point is that they don't have to continue stories or characters like a sitcom or drama does unless they want to. They can pick and choose specific players for the best ratings or scrap the whole idea the following year if it fails.

Not only has it jumped the shark, it has jumped the orka as well.

I think if they changed the comps it would be better... but also....

I'd like to see the only twist be a varied veto system.
Ex.
Someone wins the veto.... but right before the veto ceremony the veto winner pulls something out of a bag which identifies which veto he or she has won.
Ex. Veto 1 - winner can remove nominee and not be put up for nom.
Veto 2 - winner can remove nominee and be put up for nom.
Veto 3 - winner can remove nominee and make new nomination him or herself

etc... etc...
this would mean more of an immediate decision making situation while also allowing for a lot of what ifs to occur in between veto challenge and ceremony

If I had to find something I didn't care for in this season, it would be the fast forward...or rather how it was done.

I thought in previous fast forwards, the HOH and veto holder were not given any time to strategize or confer with their alliance...it was an immediate thing. I may be misremembering...

But I would like to see the fast forward be just that...fast....HOH winner immediately puts up two people...NOT after the commercial...Veto holder immediately decides...not after we get to see the Jury house, etc.

Other than that....I'm really liking this season.

If I remember correctly - I think it was Janelle and Will went for a quick discussion before making her noms.

have you guys noticed that when the HG are allowed to say things live and in the heat of the moment, they sometimes make mistakes that production must not like very much and that's why AG has to edit them so much, so in part is their fault why we have so much "expect the unexpected".

Here in Canada we have a saying: "adult and vaccinated" ( in french)! it means that if someone gets screwed but they knew about it before hand, then that is they're fault, so ultimately, no matter what we say, if the HG allow the things that happen to them on the show by AG, then we have to accept it ... or stop watching.

"adult and vaccinated"

LOVE IT...

I've never heard personal responsibility expressed quite that way before...
