Maybe the coaches are offered a chance to come into the game or leave?

To further speculate, they could have a competition that would allow the top three finishers to enter the game. Should that idea be voted down, by Thursday, there will be three people voted out that could come back into the game instead of three coaches.

Or, the HGs could vote who to bring back into the house for three different weeks after an eviction.

I'm guessing that if for some reason the vote ends up no, all three of the people who were voted out (including the one this week) will get to come back in. That's the only way the numbers can work out otherwise (but I suspect the vote will be yes)...

My 10 No votes were as a protest, against the continual "arranging," by the BB producers. I'd rather see all new people, each year.

I suspect CBS will manage the votes, some way, so the coaches will get to enter as players. Not happy, about that.

CBS has already decided what they are going to do. If you think public voting is going to sway them, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

Coaches are going in as players. Maybe as early as Thursday night's HOH - possibly an endurance competition.

I'm not sure why this board is so different but based on other polls CBS probably doesn't even need to fix the results. Most polls show people in favor of the Coaches entering the game as players or at least have it very close.

10 no votes from me. Totally not fair in my opinion.

I also voted no 10 times. They have had a free ride while (by Thursday) five people have been eliminated.

And it is fair to continue keeping the coaches in as coaches, and keeping it as a coaches' game? The coaches only concern right now is keeping their players in so that they stay. Put them in the game as players, and the game continues so that the coaches could be put on the block and sent packing!

I voted "yes"...and I think they deserved a "free ride" as they've earned it by virtue of their past Big Brother experiences and would have been the newbies' first targets if they didn't have immunity initially. In my view, it was a brilliant strategy on Allison Grodner's part to bring them back as coaches and then divide them into teams so all alliances would be preset to create a different dynamic. In any case, I would prefer to see the best-of-the-best past players in Big Brother each year rather than the newbies....the "oldies" are far more interesting!

NO..they shouldn't be able to play against those whom have never played the game before. Only against other Past Players.

My yes votes were cast only after I found out that BB has already approached all the coaches to ask if they would enter the game if given the opportunity. It really adds drama, activity and "mixing it up" more than on past seasons. We gripe about the show getting boring. This surely is NOT boring. And, if any coach doe not want to participate, he/she won't have to. (according to this recent BB reveal).

I understand that each coach was given $20,000 to play instead of a stipend. I'm sure they can take that and go home if they want to.

I voted yes 10 times. These newbees are pretty clueless and I think it would also create drama

Lately every year it has been the same thing from fans complaining about returnee's. Its time for those fans to get over it. You can see by Survivor and BB this is the way it is going to be. I for one am happy with the returnee's they brought back this time. It could have been worse with Jesse etc... As for letting the coach's come in to the game being unfair. Last year some people were exempt for the first 4 weeks. Dani getting the biggest exemption. If you don't like returnee's maybe its time to move on from BB and Survivor. As for it being fair? I could care less about that I'm here to be entertained. The coach's coming in to the game will be very interesting IMHO. Will some newbies stick with old alliances. Should be interesting. I will be throwing my hat in to the ring for either Janie or Dan!

I don't like the idea of letting past houseguests compete against newbies. When they played in their seasons, they competed against other newbies themselves and developed their style of play that entertained us and made them either fan favorites or villians. I feel that all new houseguests should have that same chance - to compete against other newbies and show us their game, not the game that their coaches or other returnees are forcing upon them.

I mean, that is why we liked the other seasons, watching these new houseguests come into the social dynamic of the house and having to develop or refine their strategies against others like themselves (newbies). If they keep bringing back old favorites to compete each season against other new houseguests, we may never have any new favorites in the future. Twenty years from now we may be watching Boogie and Janelle compete with their kids against a small group of newbies.

I am not against an All-Star type show, at least then they are competing against others with the same experience level.

I'm still a little baffled at why TVCH seems so different than the general consensus in polls at other boards (the general consensus favoring the coaches entering the game)?

"I'm still a little baffled at why TVCH seems so different than the general consensus in polls at other boards"

Jimmer, maybe we represent a different demographic. It could be that TVCH members tend to be a bit older than a lot of the other BB sites because this site has been around a lot longer than many of the others.



(I was just 49 years old when I first started coming here during BB1 (2000)...but I turned 61 last December!)

Jimmer I have been wondering that myself. Does Jokers have a poll? I wonder what their results would be.

I guess that might be a factor. Jokers had a poll but I can't find it now. The last time I saw it, I think it was running at about 55% in favor of the coaches entering the game.
