So.... no one cares to comment on my question? Guess it got lost in the shuffle....I just really wondered if anyone else thought about this too?

And that is why this was one HOH competition that would be very difficult if not impossible for BB to fix without all of the HGs being willing participants in the fix (which is unlikely to say the least).

The first thing I said to my wife after Julie asked the teacup question was: "Hey! It has a big hole down the side!"

Having said that, I still wasn't 100% sure if it was a trick question.

That's a good question Nana. Sorry if it got lost in the shuffle or maybe no one has posted much yet.

LOL – Maybe Jen was trying to lose it and won by accident? I agree it is inconsistent with the Will style of play.

I read where Jen said that she also thought it was total volume of the teacup, but if she thought that, why such a low number. The others picked over a hundred, while she picked 40 something. Like maybe she really was trying to throw it. And as soon as the comp was over, she kept saying, oh how funny. I think she was actually saying, I tried to lose and won anyway.

Nana, I think she was trying to throw it. It just backfired on her!

Thanks Rehtse. I think so too, but thought maybe I was over thinking it lol. Good to know someone else thinks the same thing.

Thanks, Spy and Raen, but I'm still not getting it. Who were asked which person would be most likely to help someone across the street? Are you saying the correct answer to the question was a majority of the 4 people standing? I just don't understand that. Why didn't they ask all the HG's before the comp like the other questions? It's just hitting me as really weird.

ETA: Were all the quetions asked live?

If Jen was coached by Woogie before entering the house, HOH is the last thing she wants to be as at least Dr. Will's strategy always was NEVER BE HOH and he'd always throw comps.

Yeah, Amac, but she doesn't have Will's charm, so if she hadn't won, she very well may have been booted.

Cricket, let me give this a shot....None of the questions were asked before the competition. Last night during the comp was the first time any of the houseguests had heard the questions. So they were supposed to answer how they thought the majority of the others would answer. If they answered with majority, they moved on, if they answered with minority, they were out. Does that help?

I agree that if Jen hadn't won HOH, there was a really good chance she would be nominated. But I honestly don't think she was trying to win.

Even if Will and Boogie coached Jen, their personalities are so different, that what worked for Will, may not work for Jen, if you know what I'm saying lol.

Maybe Will forgot to teach her how to charm people while sticking it to them at the same time lol.

I agree Nana. Woogie could certainly have helped with strategy issues (such as advice to throw comps; how to observe behavior of others; how to negotiate situations such as using power of veto) but I don't think, imo, they can teach how to "be in the house." So much of it is based on the player's personality. It would be very difficult, if not impossible, to playact a role for this length of time. Will largely won because of the combination of his strategy and his cult of personality.

Yep Kmin, that was exactly what I was trying to say. Will may have coached Jen, but he and her don't have the same personalities, so the training may not get her too far.

Thanks Nana and everyone who tried to help this dumboamo gal this morning. I went back and watched the tape and now I GET IT, lol. I was chatting while watching last night and didn't hear the very first part about the majority being the correct answer. So sorry.

I read that Jessica said she answered according to the 'clicks' she heard. Was she saying she could tell if the others were 'clicking' their blocks up or down?

I think Will and Boogie tried to coach Jen to be like Janelle, except that they haven't a clue why Janelle was so successful in the game. Obviously they think it has something to do with wearing as little clothing as possible and playing dumb.

I fell asleep watching the feeds last night and woke up to Eric blathering on and on and on. I just can't listen to that guy for very long. Does he ever shut up? If I was in the house he would drive me around the bend. I think he's a poor choice for America's Player. He stresses too much and I don't think he can pull it off for long.

Cricket, you're very welcome. I don't know that thing with Jessica, I didn't read about her saying that. But it sounds about right for her lol.

Nana, she told Eric the night before that she had 'accidentally' won HOH. I've read on the Internet that she was talking about a practice test, but don't know what that is. She said the HOH was about Carol and she answered all the quetions right, but it wasn't about Carol.

She did want to win. She knew she was a target.

I don't think it's in her personality to be taught that, lol. She's pretty blunt and just says what she is thinking.

KmJm, I totally agree with you about Eric. I'm having a hard time understanding why BB picked him for AP. He just gets rattled way too easy.

I read the LF's @ Jokers and while I saw Eric put Jessica's name out there, he eventually said he wanted Dani to go. He and Jess have a connection and I'm thinking he's forgoing the $10,000 to get Dani out and keep Jess in the house. Or..if he just brings her name up to Jen, as he did, does that mean he completed his task or does she actually have to go on the block?

Not for sure, but I'm thinking she would have to actually go on the block for him to win the AP.
