Ark, It looks like one of those, race from one end to the other with a small cup of liquid and fill up the clear bowl.

I don't know what the comp is either, but CBS Big Brother just tweeted the same pic as a sneak peek of the HOH comp. They also tweeted out earlier that we get to vote on the HOH comp, so I'm not sure what the deal is.

Oh, thanks, Jmm, I thought it looked like that, but someone upthread said it looked 'swampy' so I was thinking of a comp where they had to get in something disgusting! So, it's an endurance comp, of sorts. It will run past the show, so at least we'll have something worth watching on the feeds tonight.

Thank you very much. So the "boards" are just lane dividers & we think they're racing to fill something. Didn't they pump bubbles in on their lanes last year?

Re Dani's comment: Maybe they were told to vote for the person whom they want to evict, rather than the person they want to stay (since they all seem to talk about the person they want to stay having the votes).

Ark, they have to fill those glass balls with liquid that they have to carry on the slippery trail. They will have to carry it in a small container and it will take a long time to fill it. They will be sprayed with water and foam to make it harder to stay upright. I can see Dan winning this. Boogie will probably not do well because he won't want to get his ear wet.

yea they generally make the lanes slippery and their cup to transport the liquid usually has a hole or something in it. or it's really tiny. sort of an endurance cause we'll get to watch it on the feeds after the show but also a race. it's a really fun one to watch since they actually have to do something instead of just sit/stand there and hang out for dear life.

Punkin, that is exactly it. I was just coming to mention it. They don't want them to use the real names of evictees, they do the same thing when they practice the competitions. When Julie has the Q&A's for HOH, they practice using bogus questions so the camera men can set the shots and stuff. I remember someone talking about that a few seasons ago, maybe it was one of the interviews after the fact or something. It does annoy me though, I think they should do the run through with stand ins so that the HG's don't have a heads-up on what the comp will be on the live show.

Between Boogie's bad ear, Ash's bad back/butt, Joe's bad coordination with comps (esp physical/endurance!), I'm anxious to see how this comp will play out---- I wish they couldn't see each other... I hate hearing the DR's of the losers saying they noticed ______ was winning so they 'gave up' or they saw ______ was losing so they slowed down & 'threw it' (Dan!)

In the past, didn't they do this comp when they were down to only 4 or 5 people? There are 10 of them playing, that's a lot of lanes.

There will actually be 9 playing, but yeah, still a lot of lanes. I wonder if they are shorter and some are back to back?

Oh, yeah, 9. Thanks Keldogg. I think I'm losing it lately, I'm getting a lot of stuff wrong!

What I don't like about this on is a few lanes always seem to get more slippery stuff than other lanes.

No, Beffylou, the tweet said: "tune in tonight to see how you can vote on tonight's HOH challenge: So, I guess we'll see shortly. Maybe we get to vote on stuff during the comp? I don't know.

I'm sure they'll let us vote for free at the CBS website like they always do.

From Clio on Twitter: "Janelle says (again, some Dick at Night epi) that Jenn didn't go through ANY of the casting process, got called & jumped on a plane " Guess the casting people thought she'd be exciting.

Anyone that doesn't have the feeds and wants to get them to watch tonight's comp to the end and the rest of the season, Real Player has a coupon code for $5 off the $19.99 for one month and 14 day free trial. You just enter COUPONWINNER5 where it asks for promotional code when you go to sign up. I got charged $10.60 for the first month.
